History

The port opened on September 1, 1868. For many years its port authority was the city of Osaka, but from October 1, 2020, it came under the jurisdiction of the Osaka Port and Harbor Bureau, jointly established by the city and prefecture of Osaka. The port authority itself, however, remained unchanged.
