Sotogahama, Coastal town in Higashitsugaru District, Japan
Sotogahama extends across two separate areas of northern Tsugaru Peninsula, incorporating a coastline along Mutsu Bay and territory beside the Tsugaru Strait.
The town emerged on March 28, 2005, through the consolidation of Kanita town and the villages of Tairadate and Minmaya in Aomori Prefecture.
The local fishing industry shapes the town's identity, with fishermen harvesting sea urchin, sea pineapple, sea cucumber, scallops, abalone, and squid.
The town maintains connections through the Tsugaru Line railway and National Routes 280 and 339, facilitating travel across Aomori Prefecture.
Archaeological findings at the Odai Yamamoto I site within Sotogahama reveal evidence of human settlements dating back to the Japanese Paleolithic period.
