Atetsu is near Koniya, 4.6 nm away. It is very calm and safe even with
a typhoon.
As it is well protected with hills, I had an uncanny silence like at a
lake in a highland.
It is like Aburatsubo port near Tokyo.
There are two big buoys of the coast guard, at which you could moor only
for a day.
The strong feature of Atetsu is that it is a typhoon heaven where you can
leave your boat and go home.
Kasai-san in Koniya put two buoys by himself, at which you can tie up your
boat.
There is also a pontoon at which you can moor for a couple of days short
period.
Mr. Kasai also made a cottage called Sailors Heaven, which has western
style flush toilets, hot showers and a laundry machine.
You go to the shore with Kasai-san’s tender.
No food shop or restaurant. No convenient.
My mobile phone connection was not so good. Here, enjoy the great nature.
I stayed there for three weeks. The fee was JPY 1,000 a day.
The fee for the facility, such as toilet and shower, at Sailors Heaven
was JPY 500 a day.
