Mizushima Sea, Sea passage between Okayama and Kagawa Prefectures, Japan.

The Mizushima Sea extends across the northern section of the Seto Inland Sea, connecting multiple islands and coastal regions through its waters.

The waterway developed into a critical maritime route during Japan's industrialization period, supporting the growth of Mizushima Port and regional commerce.

Local fishing communities maintain traditional fishing methods in the Mizushima Sea, particularly around the Kasaoka Islands group of thirty-one distinct formations.

The sea passage maintains a channel depth between 46 to 50 feet, enabling large commercial vessels to navigate safely through established shipping lanes.

Seven inhabited islands within the Mizushima Sea waters preserve independent communities, each maintaining distinct industrial and social characteristics.
