Tachibana Bay

Japanese: 橘湾 - たちばなわん
Tachibana Bay
An arc-shaped bay in the southeastern part of Nagasaki Prefecture, surrounded by the Nagasaki Peninsula and the Shimabara Peninsula. It is also called Chijiwa Bay. The Nagasaki Peninsula side belongs to Nomo Peninsula Prefectural Natural Park, and part of the Shimabara Peninsula side belongs to Shimabara Peninsula Prefectural Natural Park. The bay area forms an independent ecosystem due to the relationship with the tides, and there are fishing grounds suitable for small-scale bottom trawl fishing, small-scale hauling net fishing, gill net fishing, and single-line fishing. The main fishing ports are Futtsu in the southwest of Unzen City and Aba in the eastern part of Nagasaki City. In 1978, it began to be used as an oil storage base, and later a national stockpile was established by tanker. There is a regular route from Aba Port to Amakusa. The sand dune coast in Chijiwa on the west coast of the Shimabara Peninsula is a popular swimming beach.
