Wajima Port in Ishikawa Prefecture, central Japan, is once again fully operational more than 10 months after a devastating earthquake.
More than 30 ships were seen on Friday offloading the season's first catch of snow crabs, a winter delicacy.
Crab season began in Ishikawa on Wednesday, but fishing was delayed because of stormy weather.
Wajima Port hosts the largest number of trawlers in the prefecture.
The facility had been undergoing repairs following the Noto Peninsula earthquake on New Year's Day. The disaster damaged quay walls and caused the seabed to rise.
Ishikawa Prefecture's fisheries cooperative said the first catch would be auctioned later in the day and available in local stores on Saturday.
One official said he hopes Wajima's delicious seafood can help cheer up people across the Noto Peninsula.
