Kamo

Kamo lies on Sado Island near Lake Kamo and Ryōtsu Bay. A sandbar separates the lake from the bay, while mountains rise on both sides of the island’s central plain. Settlements grew along the narrow strip between water and sea; by the end of the age of civil wars, the ports of Ebisu and Minato had developed there. Their position gave access to the sheltered bay facing the coast of Honshu.
