Docking
Kagoshima Marine Services in Taniyama usually has room for 2-3 visitor boats up to about 40ft. They are very friendly and helpful to foreign cruisers and do good repair work, but they can only haul out smaller/lighter boats.
Mooring is bow or stern-to the wall (tide is 2 to 3m), using buoys, mooring lines and foam fenders that are already in place. Each mooring slot has its own tiny raft on which you pull yourself to the nearest ladder in the harbor wall.
