About 60NMs north of Ogi on Sado Island, and about 12NMs off of the Honshu coast lies the island of Awashima.
Approaching the main port, on Awashima’s east coast, be careful to avoid the extensive aquaculture areas both north and south of the entrance. Best to be be avoided if very strong easterly or northerly winds are forecast.
Moorage (wall tie) can be found at 38°28’04.0″N 139°15’19.9″E.
There is a restaurant onsite and in town. Onsen (hot spring bath) a few minutes away and bicycles are available to explore the island.
The fishing co-operative at the south end of fishing port will fill diesel jerry cans.
