Inside Japan's Largest Freight Terminal

Tokyo Freight Terminal is Japan's largest distribution hub, with goods from across the nation arriving and being shipped out 24 hours a day.

The volume of freight shipped by rail in Japan is growing annually due to the rise in online shopping and a shortage of truck drivers.
