It is an inlet facing the Tsugaru Strait in the southern part of the Oshima Peninsula in southwest Hokkaido. The bay lies north of a line connecting Mt. Hakodate in the east and Cape Katsushi in Hokuto City in the west, and was also called Tomoe Bay due to its shape. The water is 50 to 60 meters deep at the center of the bay's mouth. The eastern part of the bay is a bow-shaped sandy beach with several rows of sand dunes, but these have been destroyed by residential development. In the southeast is Hakodate Port, surrounded by Mt. Hakodate and sandbars, and the Tsugaru Strait Ferry and the Seikan Ferry depart and arrive between Aomori, Oma, and other places. There are oil refineries and cement factories on the bay coast, making it a coastal industrial area.

北海道南西部、渡島(おしま)半島南部にあり、津軽海峡に面した湾入。東の函館(はこだて)山と西の北斗(ほくと)市の葛登支(かつとし/かっとうし)岬を結んだ線から北側の湾で、その形から巴湾(ともえわん)ともよばれた。水深は湾口中央で50~60メートル。湾岸東部は弓形の砂浜海岸で、数列の砂丘があったが、住宅化が進んで破壊されている。南東部には函館山と砂州に囲まれた函館港があり、津軽海峡フェリーや青函フェリーが青森、大間(おおま)などとの間に発着する。湾岸には石油精製工場やセメント工場があり、臨海工業地域となっている。 [瀬川秀良] 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 |
