Good to know

Official open port; the Coast Guard gives the exact quay position. Yachts cannot stay in the commercial port: move afterwards to a marina (Itoman, Ginowan, Yonabaru) with the closed-port permit.

Offices to visit

In the usual order of the formalities. Addresses can change: ask the harbour office when you arrive.
