Noheji Bay

Japanese: 野辺地湾 - のへじわん
Noheji Bay

A branch bay of Mutsu Bay in central Aomori Prefecture, it is an inlet on the eastern side of the Natsudomari Peninsula. Noheji Minato, at the innermost part of the bay, flourished as a base for the Nishimawari route in the Sea of ​​Japan during the Edo period. Scallop farming is thriving within the bay, and with the guidance of the Prefectural Fisheries Aquaculture Center, production has increased year by year, forming a major fishing ground for "Mutsu Bay Scallops."

青森県中央部、陸奥湾(むつわん)の支湾で、夏泊半島(なつどまりはんとう)東側の湾入。湾奥の野辺地湊(みなと)は江戸時代には日本海の西廻航路(にしまわりこうろ)の拠点として栄えた。湾内ではホタテガイ養殖が盛んで、県水産増殖センターの指導により生産量も年々増加し、「陸奥湾ホタテ」の主要漁場を形成している。
