An LNG receiving structure (101) is provided with: a leader pipe (1) that is located below a receiving pipe (102) that penetrates a roof of an LNG tank, and extends as far as a bottom portion of the LNG tank; a hopper (2) that is provided at a top end of the leader pipe, and receives LNG expelled from the receiving pipe; a regulating component (3) that is provided inside the hopper, and regulates the flow of the LNG expelled from the receiving pipe such that this LNG flows down along an inside wall of the leader pipe; and a gas discharge port (4) that is provided in the hopper, and discharges to an outside of the hopper gas that has risen upwards from the leader pipe. By providing this LNG receiving structure, when a plurality of types of LNG that each have a different density are stored in the same LNG tank, it is possible to keep to a minimum any risk that rollover might occur.
