July 8th, 2015I visited Funagata Port for the first time in six years.
No specific change of the environment.
The berth below becomes the official visitors berth by the local government,
a yacht club guy says.
Shiosai Inn is alive. Atarashi-ya fish shop located just before Shiosai
Inn kindly slices raw fishes, i.e. makes Sashimi, when you buy fishes.

Approaching Funagata Port:
Move close to the eastside beach until you look at the white light house
of Funagata Fishing Port, 35 01.300N 139 50.720E, on your due north.
Then turn due north. You will see the red lighthouse further inside of
the white lighthouse Moving close to the red lighthouse, the yacht berth
inside Negishi breakwater comes into sight.
Berth:
Free for a less than three day stay. From the day four, the fee is JPY42/tonnage/day.
Visitors may moor even at the opposite breakwater, a yacht club member
says on the web:

Many sail boats are mooring bow-to lining up from the back of the breakwater.
Between the front mooring boat and around a bend before the end of the
breakwater, there is space for four visitor boats mooring bow-to. Or, two
boats can moor along-side.
When I arrived the port, I felt it was a very quiet port.
But, as southwesterly wind got stronger just after my arrival, waves rippled
and the boat started rolling harder.
It lasted for two days. The waves might had swells.
As the port opens to west, you have to be prepared a strong rolling with
westerly wind.
A bow-to mooring boat faces westerly wind and wave from the side.
Along-side mooring might be better though, there is a possibility of the
hull hitting the
breakwater.
Water and a toilet are five minutes away in a park next to Fureai Market.
There is a big coin laundry 20 minutes away.
Walk through the road along Gakeno Kanon and hit a beach to find the coin
laundry.
Shiosai Inn, phone 0470-27-2860, with a bath is a comfortable place.
When I visited, the bath was available from 5pm for JPY600.
A local big supermarket, ODOYA, is 10 minutes away.
It is next to Chiba Bank with a red signboard, which can be seen from the
port.
There are some fish shops.
I didn’t check the availability of fuel.
