About Miyako Bay

Miyako Bay is a natural site. Location: Iwate, Japan.

From Wikipedia

Miyako Bay (宮古湾, Miyako-wan) is a bay in Iwate Prefecture, in the northern Tōhoku region of northern Japan. It is a long and narrow, roughly triangular body of water extending southwest to northeast where it opens to the Pacific Ocean. The Omoe Peninsula (重茂半島, Omoe-hantō) forms its eastern border and Cape Anegasaki (姉ヶ崎, Anegasaki) forms its southern border. This gives it an area of approximately 24 km2 (9.3 mi2). Miyako Bay is approximately 10 km (6.21 mi) long, with a width of 4.8 km (2.98 mi) at its mouth.
