Itsukinada

Japanese: 斎灘 - いつきなだ
Itsukinada

Refers to the central part of the Seto Inland Sea, the waters east of the Aki Nada Sea. It is bounded by the Takanawa Peninsula in Ehime Prefecture to the east, the Geiyo Islands of Shimokamagari Island, Kamikamagari Island, Toyo Island, Osakishimo Island, and Okamura Island to the north, and the Boyo Islands to the south. Nearly in the center are Iwai Island, Yasui Island, and Koayasu Island. The water is relatively shallow, at 30 to 60 meters deep, and the seabed is flat. The surrounding islands and Takanawa Peninsula have many cliffs and few inland bays, so there are not many good ports.
