Inland Sea

Description

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Formally named
the Seto Inland Sea, the Inland Sea is the body of water separating
Honsh¿, Shikoku, and Ky¿sh¿, three of the main islands of Japan. It
serves as an international waterway, connecting the Pacific Ocean to the
Sea of Japan. It connects to Osaka Bay and provides a sea transport link
to industrial centers in the Kansai region, including Osaka and Kobe.
Before the construction of the Sany¿ Main Railroad Line, it was the main
transportation link between Kansai and Ky¿sh¿. Yamaguchi, Hiroshima,
Okayama, Hy¿go, Osaka, Kagawa, Ehime, Fukuoka, and ¿ita prefectures all
have coastlines on the Inland Sea; the cities of Hiroshima, Iwakuni,
Takamatsu, and Matsuyama are also located on it.
