The Tsugaru Strait is a strait between Honshu and Hokkaido in northern Japan, connecting the Sea of Japan with the Pacific Ocean. It is approximately 19.5 kilometers wide at its narrowest point and has maximum depths of 200 meters in the eastern neck and 140 meters in the western neck. The strait is also known as the Strait of Sangar on some older maps. Japan's territorial waters extend only three nautical miles into the strait, reportedly to allow nuclear-armed US warships to transit without violating Japan's nuclear prohibition.learn more on wikipedia
