Tokyo

Tokyo grew from Edo into the country’s main political and commercial center, and its waterfront still reflects that scale. For sailors, the city is less about scenic anchorages and more about high-efficiency operations. 

It is an ideal point for provisioning, crew rotation, and technical preparation before moving to Yokohama, the Miura Peninsula, or longer legs south. Navigation inside and around Tokyo Bay is heavily structured, with dense traffic and strict timing discipline. 

Yachting infrastructure is extensive but fragmented across several marinas and yacht harbors, so berth planning is usually done in advance and tied to the exact routing window.
