Dear Hee Ju Kim,
Thank you for your outreach regarding the sea between the Korean peninsula and the Japanese archipelago.
At Smithsonian Journeys, our practice is to follow guidelines established by the U.S. Department of State. After receiving your email, we reached out to them and were advised that according to their policy, each sea and ocean should be referred to by a single name. Therefore, U.S. policy is to refer to the sea as the “Sea of Japan.” They noted that they are aware that the Republic of Korea refers to the body of water as the “East Sea,” and that the U.S. is not asking the Republic of Korea to change its nomenclature. They also noted that the U.S. usage of the “Sea of Japan” in no way implies an opinion regarding any issue related to sovereignty.
In light of this, we will continue to use “Sea of Japan” on our website and other marketing materials. We do greatly appreciate you taking the time to contact us. We take feedback from our travelers seriously and your comments provided valuable insight on this issue, so we thank you.
Sincerely,
Catherine Davis
Tour Operations and Customer Experience Manager
