# Yura (JP YUA)

**UN/LOCODE:** JP YUA  
**Country:** Japan  
**Water Body:** Kii Channel; North Pacific Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Small  
**Harbor Type:** Coastal (Natural)  
**GPS:** 33.9500, 135.1000

UN/LOCODE JP YUA identifies Yura, a small natural harbor on the Kii Channel in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, first recorded in the medieval epic Taiheiki and formally classified as a regional port in 1953. Local industry centers on cement and aggregate production plus a resident shipyard, and the harbor also serves as a refuge anchorage during storms. No international container liner services are confirmed, so cargo relevance for overseas shippers is limited. Wakayama-Shimotsu, an international hub port roughly 30 kilometers to the north, handles the region's container and general cargo traffic instead.
