About
At Yanmar Sunset Marina, we strive to create a sustainable future by promoting a resource recycling cycle with minimal environmental impact. We focus on the sustainability of "food" and "energy" and actively promote local production for local consumption in both areas.
Food Food Resource Recycling
At Yanmar Sunset Marina, we are building a sustainable resource recycling cycle.
Food waste from the facility's restaurant and aquatic plants collected from Lake Biwa are composted, and the organic fertilizer is used to grow vegetables, which are then served again at the restaurant.
Experience this cycle in harmony with the local environment through food.

Striving to Be a Sustainable Marina
Blue Flag
The Blue Flag is a global environmental certification for beaches, marinas, and tourist boats, managed by the NGO FEE. Established in France in 1985, it is now recognized in 51 countries with 5,121 certified locations. Awarded annually, it signifies safety, sustainability, and environmental care. Yanmar Sunset Marina is applying to become Japan's first certified lake marina.
Composter
Food waste from the restaurant and aquatic plants from Lake Biwa are processed into soil activators and compost, reducing disposal costs while being environmentally friendly.
We process 100kg of food waste daily, reducing its volume by 80%. The resulting compost is reused for farming, promoting resource recycling and lowering disposal costs in an eco-friendly way.
