• Port in Japan

Location: Showa, Oita Japan

As of my knowledge cutoff in October 2021, there is no specific marine port known as IHOTA in Japan. It is possible that IHOTA could be a typographical error or an incorrect name. Japan, however, has numerous significant marine ports including the Port of Yokohama, the Port of Kobe, the Port of Osaka, and the Port of Nagoya, among others.

If you meant a different or less known port, detailed and up-to-date information may need to be obtained from localized maritime databases or Japanese port authorities.

Here, however, is a description of a general marine port structure and specifications you might expect in a typical Japanese port:
