  Don’s Pilot for Sailing in Japan
  
Visiting Japan with 33ft Sailing Boat
  
Ports Information Sailing Routes  

My name is Don.
I am a Japanese solo sailor visiting hundreds of ports, which were marinas and fishing ports, in Japan with my red-colored 33ft sailing boat
Echo Point

Here are my reports of ports at which I moored my boat.
- How to approach each port. On English Google map the red line shows original route plan and the blue line shows track chart on which I actually sailed.
You will see my maneuvering around fishing nets.

- Which area in a port was good for my mooring. Pictures and another map show well-protected berth.
- Availability of fuel, water, toilet and provisions. Directions of good restaurants and Onsen ( Japanese hot spring ) bathhouses too !

Note: While you will see some additional information for English version, my original reports were based on my personal activities.
Then, my reports may not cover all aspects of each port.

Enjoy your sailing in Japan !
