Ukushima - Docking
Konpira Consulting provides cruisers - from single-handers on small sailboats to fully-crewed superyachts - with comprehensive support to enjoy the wonders of Japan's oceans. That includes handling all clear-in/out paperwork, preparing passage plans, recommending moorage options, making marina reservations, arranging repairs and haul-outs, and providing emergency support.
In 2025, we will be organizing two rallies.
- The Japan Yacht Rally, from mid-March to late May, to support cruisers going from Okinawa to Hokkaido on their way to Alaska and beyond.
- The Setouchi Yacht Rally, in May, to help foreign and Japanese cruisers explore the beautiful Seto Inland Sea.
Konpira Consulting is also the exclusive Japan agent for Hydrovane wind vanes. In addition, we act as a yacht broker, support boat owners (e.g., surveys, insurance, offshore preparations, equipment/parts searches), and advise marinas.

Marina
On the southeast coast of Uku Shima is the village of Tiara (also named on some maps as Ukumachitiara). Uku Marina is in Tiara, which is a very well built and maintained municipal marina and is to the left of the main fishing and ferry harbor.
There are two sets of finger docks, secured with solid pilings. The largest docks can accommodate boats up to approx. 50ft.
The marina is well protected by a concrete wall and is not affected in the least by ferry traffic. It is an isolated and quiet mooring in a quiet village.
Ashore
The town is about a fifteen-minute hike. You pay your fee at the yellow/orange brick facade three-story building in the center of town.
There are toilets at the shore end of the pontoon and three or four markets in town and an Enos fuel station.
There is a hot-spring bath just a 3-minute walk up the hill behind the marina.
There is no WiFi.
