The Sea of Japan is a marginal sea in the western Pacific Ocean, bordered by Japan, Sakhalin Island, Russia, and Korea. It has an average depth of 5,748 feet and a maximum depth of 12,276 feet. The sea is almost oval-shaped, running from southwest to northeast. It is connected to the East China Sea and the Sea of Okhotsk through narrow straits. The sea has a significant impact on the climate of surrounding areas, with warm waters causing evaporation in winter and monsoons in summer. Its waters circulate in a counterclockwise pattern, with warm currents flowing north and cold currents flowing south. The Sea of Japan plays a crucial role in fisheries and has valuable mineral deposits. Trade across the sea is moderate, and it has been explored and studied by several expeditions over time.
