*''Japanese'': 玄界灘 ''(genkai nada)''
The Genkai Sea is the southwestern portion of the [[Sea of Japan]], covering roughly the areas off the coast of [[Fukuoka prefecture]] ([[Chikuzen province]]) out to [[Tsushima]].
A branch of the warm [[Kuroshio current]] coming up from the south meets the cold [[Oyashio current|Oyashio]] and [[Riman current]]s from the north here, helping making the region a particularly vibrant one, historically, for marine species, and thus for fishing & other marine extraction activities.
