Kagawa's coastal position and bridge links to Honshu shorten land transit to Kansai and western Japan; Takamatsu and short-sea feeder services extend port connectivity. Combined highway and regional rail links improve carrier routing options and reduce transit variability for domestic deliveries.

Expect lower land and labor costs, more flexible lease terms, and reduced operating overhead. Local industrial parks and municipal incentives can further lower setup costs and shorten time-to-market versus congested urban facilities.

Yes. Many facilities support kitting, returns and light assembly with compact footprints optimized for omnichannel SKUs. Reliable road access and proximity to ports also help streamline inbound replenishment and reverse logistics.

Evaluate SLA performance, carrier network reach, facility infrastructure (dock depth, racking, cross-dock capability), IT integration (WMS/API), scalability of space and labor, and cost-to-serve models. Consider local incentives and contract flexibility as well.

Port access at Takamatsu and Seto Inland Sea feeder links reduce container drayage and consolidation time. For exports, short-sea services and feeder schedules influence vessel cutoffs; for imports, reliable feeder arrivals plus efficient hinterland trucking shorten overall lead time to regional distribution nodes.
