Itsuki Sea, Maritime section of Seto Inland Sea, Japan.
Itsuki Sea is a maritime region nestled between the Japanese islands of Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. Its waters are dotted with numerous small islands and varied coastal formations that create a complex and intricate seascape.
This waterway served as a key trade route in early Japanese maritime history, connecting local ports with ships traveling to and from Korea and China. Its position as a crossroads shaped coastal development for centuries.
Fishing communities here maintain traditional catching methods that shape daily coastal life and local identity. You can observe these practices when visiting fishing villages and harbors along the waterway.
Daily ferries operate across these waters, providing the main transportation connections between ports in the region. Travel by ferry gives you good views of the surrounding islands and coastlines throughout your journey.
The waters here display distinct current patterns that naturally form navigation channels, making maritime traffic flow efficiently. These currents have shaped shipping routes for centuries and remain important for sailors today.
