Suō Sea

The Suō Sea spans between the islands of Honshu and Kyushu, forming a vital section of the Seto Inland Sea with numerous small islands.

The waterways of Suō Sea served as primary transportation routes connecting the Kansai region with Kyushu before the development of modern railways.

Local communities along the Suō Sea maintain fishing traditions, with many families operating small boats to catch seasonal fish and shellfish species.

Regular ferry services cross the Suō Sea, linking major ports while offering transportation options for both passengers and vehicles throughout the year.

The waters of Suō Sea support over 500 marine species, including populations of finless porpoises that inhabit the coastal areas.
