The location is not inspiring a large highway flyover serves as the backdrop and the pontoons are a bit rickety, but the location is exceptionally well-protected and it may be possible to negotiate a much lower price here than at other marinas. No showers; public bath (sento) close by. Haulout possible: a crane visits every two weeks or so. The marina is also a working boatyard, run by Japanese yachting legend Katsuichi Nozaki and his son Kosuke. Very friendly, helpful people with good English.
