Viewed from Miura Peninsula.
Location
Sagami Bay (相模湾 Sagami-wan Sagami Gulf or Sagami Sea ) lies south of Kanagawa Prefecture in Honshu , central Japan , contained within the scope of the Miura Peninsula , in Kanagawa, to the east, the Izu Peninsula , in Shizuoka Prefecture , to the west, and the Shōnan coastline to the north, while the island of Izu Ōshima marks the southern extent of the bay. It lies approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi ) southwest of the capital, Tokyo . Cities on the bay include Odawara , Chigasaki , Fujisawa , Hiratsuka , Itō , and Kamakura .
History [ edit ]
The center of the Great Kantō earthquake in 1923 was deep beneath Izu Ōshima Island in Sagami Bay. It devastated Tokyo, the port city of Yokohama , and the surrounding prefectures of Chiba , Kanagawa , and Shizuoka , and caused widespread damage throughout the Kantō region .[1] tsunami and typhoon wave energy, contributed to certain parts of the Shonan coast having suffered considerable damage, including the destruction of the Kōtoku-in temple housing the Great Buddha, or Daibutsu during the massive tsunami of 1498 .[2]
Natural environment [ edit ]
A branch of the warm Kuroshio Current warms the bay, allowing it to host marine organisms typical of more southerly regions and giving a mild climate to the land bordering it. The maximum depth of Sagami Bay is about 1500 meters.
Organisms from sub-arctic regions are advected into the bay by intrusions of the Oyashio Current resulting in very high biodiversity .[3]
In 2004, soil samples from Sagami Bay were found to contain radioactive contamination from the Bikini Atoll nuclear tests that took place from 1946 to 1958.[4]
The Hikiji River , Sagami River and Sakai River flow into the bay.
