Nagasaki - Activities, Attractions & Shopping
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.

The site of the atomic bomb blast is now a leafy suburb. The point above which the bomb detonated – the “hypocenter” – is marked by a simple black obelisk in a park; close by is the larger Peace Park with a set of sculptures, a memorial hall and a Peace Museum. The Museum documents the day of the blast.
Immediately behind the marina is a full-scale reconstruction, on its actual site, of the original trading post of the Dutch East India Company.

I was almost put off going to Dejima Marina by the above comment but another yacht insisted I would be missing a wonderful experience. We contacted Dejima by email and received an affirmative response even though it was Golden Week.
We were greeted in a most cordial manner and during our delightful stay at this incomparable city, side location met several Japanese sailors who provided us with helpful advice and the manager Tanaka-san went out of his way to make certain we were enjoying our stay.
There was a modest extra charge for my crew but I had already experienced this at another marina. My wife joined the yacht there an no additional charge was requested. Nagasaki and Dejima was a highlight of our time in Japan so please take the negative perspective with a grain of salt. One last point: The officials were courteous as usual and the most efficient we have encountered.
Posted on behalf of Eric Friedli:
Things have changed in Nagasaki Dedjima, no friendly manager anymore; priority is given to national (mainly motor) boats how are based in Dedjima all year round. The charge is from the first day (4700 Yens for 35 feet) plus a 1080 Yens for each crew to be registered.
In addition, visitors are not allowed to enter the marina if they are not registered, so friends how to want to come to your boat for a drink have to pay 1080 Yens each… (First time I see this in 11 years sailing around the world), anyway, looks like this only apply to foreigners.
Also very complicated relation with local authorities with a lot of pressure from coast guard and police. Clearly, the Nagasaki local administration has made a turn and try now to keep foreign yachts a way of Nagasaki. It’s my 5th time cruising Japan and I suggest cruiser to better to give a big miss to Nagasaki as there are many friendly, trouble free and hospitable places to visit in Japan…
