Approaching Toshima Port:
As the red port lighthouse had turned darkly-discolored, it was hard to be found out.
When I followed my original planned route (which is a red line on attached Google Map), there were wide fishing nets before the lighthouse.
Then, I had to turn around widely to the east, closer to the shore, to keep out of the nets and to head to the red lighthouse.

Berth:
Passing by the red lighthouse to your right, move into the port further.
Then, you will see a tiger-striped quay to your left after a landing place.
Moor at an open space and ask a fisherman if any fishing boat comes back to your place.

A guy at another port told me another berth.
After passing by the red lighthouse to your right, turn left immediately.
Then, there is a boat pool, which is the calmest place and a good berth for a sailing boat.
You will not need to ask Gyokyo: Fisheries Cooperative Association.

As there is no shop around, the port is not convenient for living.
But, there is a public bathhouse.
It is a good port and berth with pleasant feeling of relaxation.

Toilet with a western style is at a beautiful park behind the tiger-striped quay.
Water is at the toilet.
There is only one shop “Sowa Food” for provisions.
A liquor shop is a bit far ahead.

Fuel was not confirmed.
No coin laundry.

I looked up and found a ship-shaped building of “Kanpo no Yado” bathhouse.
It has an Onsen (spa) for JPY600 with a nice view. I relaxed there.
