Unyo Maru, Maritime heritage site in Kōnan, Japan.
The Unyo Maru is a wooden sailing vessel preserved in its original state, demonstrating traditional Japanese shipbuilding methods and design. The ship features working masts, sails, and rigging that show how it operated during its active years.
The ship was registered as cultural property to preserve its significance in Japanese shipbuilding heritage. This protection helped save the vessel from decay and ensure its original structure survives for future generations.
The ship shows how Japanese craftspeople built vessels and what materials they chose for the work. The shape and details tell the story of a time when trade and fishing shaped the lives of coastal communities.
You can walk around the ship and board certain areas to explore the different sections inside. It is best to wear flat shoes and allow time to move through the decks and view the interior spaces.
The ship has been treated with specialized preservation methods developed specifically to protect wooden structures from rain and saltwater damage. These techniques allow the vessel to remain in a walkable state while keeping its historical character intact.
