Ofunato (Ohunato), an industrial and fishing center, lies at the center, near the head of Ofunato Wan, a narrow inlet which extends inland about 4 miles in a general N direction. The approach is marked by a lighted buoy in position 39°01'N, 141°47'E. The bay is entered between Koori Saki on the N, and Goishi Saki, 2 miles SSW. The harbor limits are those waters W of a line drawn between these two points. Breakwaters, about 1.3 miles W of the harbor limits, protect the entrance to the harbor.
