Amakusa Sea, Marine area between Nagasaki, Kumamoto, and Kagoshima Prefectures, Japan.
The Amakusa Sea extends across three prefectures, forming a substantial section of the East China Sea with numerous small islands scattered throughout its waters.
During the Edo Period, the Amakusa Sea served as a critical maritime route for trade vessels connecting different regions of southern Japan through its strategic waterways.
Local fishing communities maintain traditional methods of harvesting seafood, contributing to the regional cuisine that emphasizes fresh fish and shellfish preparations.
Visitors can explore the sea through regular ferry services connecting the main islands, with boats departing from multiple ports across the three surrounding prefectures.
The waters of Amakusa Sea support populations of wild dolphins, which can be observed year-round through specialized boat tours operating in the region.
