11th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters

The 11th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters is housed within an administrative building at Naha Port and serves as the command center for maritime operations across the region. The facility contains communications equipment and operations rooms that monitor vessel traffic and maritime activities in surrounding waters.

The facility was created following Japan's postwar reorganization of maritime security forces, ending military navy control and transitioning to civilian administration. This transformation established the foundation for the modern system of regional coast guard headquarters that operates today.

The headquarters maintains strong connections with local communities through regular safety demonstrations and educational programs about maritime regulations and environmental protection.

The headquarters is located near Naha Port and is accessible by road. As an active operational facility, public access may be limited, so verify visiting conditions in advance.

The facility oversees specialized units equipped with advanced patrol vessels and monitoring systems to protect the strategic waters of the East China Sea.
