Tokyo Bay

Japan's central inlet

Tokyo Bay is a large inlet on the Pacific coast of Japan, bordered by Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kawasaki.

The bay serves as one of Japan's busiest shipping areas and industrial zones.

It gained historical significance as the site where Japan signed its surrender aboard the USS Missouri in 1945, ending World War II.
