Inobe is a village on the N coast of Okino-Erabu Shima in a position about 4 miles SW of Kunigami Saki, the NE extremity. Temporary open anchorage, during SE winds, can be obtained on the seaward side of the reefs fronting the village. A mole extending 400m NW from the shore provides, on its SW outer part, a quay that is 160m long, with an alongside depth of 8m. Range lights lead towards this port. The port and anchorage should only be used by vessels with local knowledge. Radio towers, reported to be conspicuous, stand 2 miles WSW of the NE end of the island and 1.5 miles NNE of O Yama. A domed building is reported to stand close N of the latter tower.
