What is the Genkai Sea?
 Situated at the southwest end of the Japan Sea, the Genkai Sea stretches over the continental shelf with a depth of about 80 meters.

  It has played a crucial part in marine access between the Honshu and the Asian continent, especially Korea and China, and was the scene of the Mongol invasions of 1274 and 1281 and a key engagement of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905.
