Hirado - Docking

Apr 28, 2021

Docking

There is a designated visitor dock on the north side of the Harbor, easily identified by its white peaked roof (33°22.2712'N, 129°33.2927'E). The dock's western side is preferred because it has large fenders to keep a boat away from the dock, preventing a swaying mast from hitting the roof. The eastern side is also fine in calmish weather, especially if one can deploy one's own large fenders.

If that dock is full, another dock at the far end of the Harbor is also an option. Although privately owned and sometimes used by local fishing boats, cruisers can usually find room there.

Ashore

No water or power on either dock. There are toilets in the ferry terminal, and hot-spring baths are available in two hotels about a 10-minute walk away. There are several good restaurants in town and a supermarket near the back-up dock.
