A peninsula jutting out into the Pacific Ocean in eastern Miyagi Prefecture. It faces Ishinomaki Bay to the south and is connected to the southern part of the Kitakami Highlands to the north. Most of the peninsula belongs to Ishinomaki City, but the northeastern part belongs to Onagawa Town. In ancient times, it was called Toshima. Its islands include Kinkasan, Ajijima, Tashirojima, Enoshima, and Ashishima. It is a hilly peninsula made mainly of Mesozoic rocks, and is accompanied by folds and faults. The base of the peninsula is a line connecting Mangokuura and Onagawa Bay. There is little arable land, and the main industry is fishing, with fishing ports such as Onagawa, Watanoha, and Ayukawa. The fishing grounds off Kinkasan are one of Japan's leading fishing grounds, where warm and cold currents meet. Ayukawa Port in Oshika Town was famous as a base for coastal whaling, but since commercial whaling was banned by the International Whaling Commission in 1986 (Showa 61), small-scale coastal whaling has been conducted on a small scale. Shallow water aquaculture is carried out in the inland bay, and isomon fishing is carried out on the open sea side. Due to its beautiful ria coastline, it has been designated as Sanriku Fukko National Park (formerly Minamisanriku Kinkazan Quasi-National Park). The Oshika Cobalt Line (Urajuku, Onagawa Town - Yamadori no Watashi, Ayukawahama, Ishinomaki City) runs through the center (toll-free since 1996). To the southeast of Ayukawa Port are the remains of a Chinese ship guardhouse established by the Sendai Domain in 1646 (Shoho 3) to monitor foreign ships. Tsukiura is the place from which Hasekura Tsunenaga, a Japanese envoy to Europe, set sail in 1613 (Keicho 18). [Yuji Goto] [References] | | | | |Photographed from the east.

宮城県東部、太平洋に突き出た半島。南は石巻(いしのまき)湾に面し、北は北上(きたかみ)高地南部に連なる。半島の大部分が石巻市に属するが、北東部は女川町(おながわちょう)に属する。古くは遠島(とおしま)とよばれていた。属島として、金華山、網地(あじ)島、田代(たしろ)島、江島(えのしま)、足島などがある。主として中生代の岩石からなる丘陵性の半島で、褶曲(しゅうきょく)、断層を伴う。半島の基部は、万石(まんごく)浦と女川湾を結ぶ線である。耕地が少なく、おもな産業は漁業で、女川、渡波(わたのは)、鮎川(あゆかわ)などの漁港がある。金華山沖漁場は暖流と寒流とが接する日本有数の漁場である。牡鹿町鮎川港は近海捕鯨の基地として有名であったが、1986年(昭和61)に国際捕鯨委員会により商業捕鯨が禁止されて以降は、沿岸小型捕鯨がささやかに行われている。内湾では浅海養殖業が、外洋側では磯物(いそもの)漁業が行われている。風景のよいリアス式海岸であることから、三陸復興国立公園(旧南三陸金華山国定公園)に指定されている。中央部には牡鹿コバルトライン(女川町浦宿(うらじゅく)―石巻市鮎川浜(あゆかわはま)山鳥渡(やまどりのわたし))が通じている(1996年無料化)。鮎川港の南東には、1646年(正保3)仙台藩が設置した異国船監視のための唐船番所跡がある。月浦(つきのうら)は遣欧使節支倉(はせくら)常長が1613年(慶長18)出航した地である。 [後藤雄二] [参照項目] | | | | |東方上空より撮影。奥は牡鹿半島。三陸復興国立公園(旧南三陸金華山国定公園)域。宮城県石巻市©宮城県観光課"> 金華山 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 |
