Tsushima Strait
eastern channel of the Korea Strait between Tsushima and Kyushu / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tsushima Strait (対馬海峡, Tsushima Kaikyō), also known as the Korea Strait, is a narrow body of water between Japan and South Korea.[1] The name is used in two ways. It is used generally to describe the ocean area between Korea and Japan; and it also identifies the sea passage between the islands of Kyushu and Tsushima.[2]
The strait links the East China Sea and the Sea of Japan in the northwest Pacific Ocean.[3] Tsushima Island is between the western channel (Korea Strait) and the eastern channel (Tsushima Strait).[4]
