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.
