Approaching Kusakabe Port:
After leaving Ko-Naruto, I encountered many big commercial ships before
entering into Kusakabe Port.
As they were crossing my route at right angle, I had to give way to them
sometimes.
I sailed in the east of Fukube Island; and passed by Gombebana Promontory
to my right; and sailed at 34 28.400N 134 17.700E.
Berth:
A white characteristic building with a tower is the boarding gate of sightseeing
boats.
In the west of the building, there is a pontoon at the east side of which
sail boats can moor alongside.
As the sea bed is covered with seaweed and seagrass, the anchor doesn’t
hold it.
The west side of the pontoon is for sightseeing boats.
You go to the pontoon restaurant to check in. The fee is JPY2,000 a day,
which is a ten times increase from JPY200 a day.
The port is a quiet and scenic good place.
Toilet is at the boarding gate, which is closed at night.
Provisions: Going east on the avenue and turning to north a little bit,
there is a big supermarket “Marunaka”.
Water and fuel services were not confirmed. Looks like no coin laundry.
There are the pontoon restaurant and other restaurants.
