Sea of Japan

The Sea of Japan is a body of water located between Japan, Russia, and the Korean Peninsula. It connects to the Pacific Ocean through the Tsushima Strait to the south. The sea is significant for its rich marine life, including various fish and seafood, playing an important role in the local economies of surrounding countries. It has historical and strategic importance as well. The naming of the sea has been a subject of international dispute, particularly between Japan and neighboring countries, leading to varying references such as the East Sea in Korea.
