A bay facing the Sea of Japan in central-western Hokkaido. It opens to the north with a coastline of about 80 kilometers from Takashima Cape in Otaru City to Aikappu Cape in Ishikari City. From Otaru City to Mourai in Ishikari City, there is a sandy beach, and from there north, there is a rocky coast with terrace cliffs and mountain spurs approaching the sea. Several rows of beach ridges can be seen inside this sandy beach, indicating the gradual advance of the coastline after the sea level rise during the Jomon period. Ishikari Bay New Port was built near the border between Ishikari City and Otaru City. There are small fishing ports in Takashima, Otaru City, Mourai, and Atsuta Ward in Ishikari City, but the catch is small. The tidal currents in Ishikari Bay are complicated by several eddies, and when small low pressure systems form here, it often causes localized heavy rain in summer and heavy snow on the plains in winter.

北海道中西部、日本海に面した湾。小樽市(おたるし)高島岬から石狩市愛冠(あいかっぷ)岬に至る約80キロメートルの海岸線をもって北に開いている。小樽市から石狩市望来(もうらい)までは砂浜で、それから北は段丘崖(がい)や山脚が海に迫る岩石海岸である。この砂浜の内側に数行の浜堤列がみられ、縄文期の海進後の海岸線の段階的前進を示している。石狩市と小樽市の境界付近に石狩湾新港が建設された。小樽市高島、石狩市望来、同市厚田(あつた)区には小漁港があるが漁獲量は少ない。石狩湾の潮流にはいくつかの渦流(かりゅう)があって複雑になり、ここに小低気圧が発生すると、夏は局部的な大雨になり、冬は平地部に大雪を降らせることが多い。 [奈良部理] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
