History
The prefecture has some archaeological sites going back to the
Jōmon period (around 400 BCE). About 3,000 years ago, Mount
Hakone produced a volcanic explosion which resulted in Lake
Ashi on the western area of the prefecture. Prefectural office of Kanagawa in
Yokohama
It is believed that the Yamato dynasty ruled this area from the 5th
century onwards. In the ancient era, its plains were very sparsely
inhabited.
In medieval Japan, Kanagawa was part of the provinces of Sagami

and Musashi.[3] Kamakura in central Sagami was the capital of
Japan during the Kamakura period (1185–1333).
During the Edo period, the western part of Sagami Province was
governed by the daimyō of Odawara Castle, while the eastern part
was directly governed by the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo
(modern-day Tokyo). Minato Mirai 21, Yokohama
Commodore Matthew Perry landed in Kanagawa in 1853 and

1854 and signed the Convention of Kanagawa to force open
Japanese ports to the United States. Yokohama, the largest deep-
water port in Tokyo Bay, was opened to foreign traders in 1859
after several more years of foreign pressure, and eventually
developed into the largest trading port in Japan. Nearby
Yokosuka, closer to the mouth of Tokyo Bay, developed as a naval
port and now serves as headquarters for the U.S. 7th Fleet and the
fleet operations of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. After
The Great Wave off Kanagawa
the Meiji period, many foreigners lived in Yokohama City, and
original print
visited Hakone. The Meiji government developed the first
railways in Japan, from Shinbashi (in Tokyo) to Yokohama in
1872.
The epicenter of the 1923 Great Kanto earthquake was deep beneath Izu Ōshima Island in Sagami
Bay. It devastated Tokyo, the port city of Yokohama, surrounding prefectures of Chiba, Kanagawa,
and Shizuoka, and caused widespread damage throughout the Kantō region.[4] The sea receded as
much as 400 metres from the shore at Manazuru Point, and then rushed back towards the shore in a
great wall of water which swamped Mitsuishi-shima.[5] At Kamakura, the total death toll from
earthquake, tsunami, and fire exceeded 2,000 victims.[6] At Odawara, ninety percent of the buildings
collapsed immediately, and subsequent fires burned the rubble along with anything else left
standing.[7]
Yokohama, Kawasaki and other major cities were heavily damaged by the U.S. bombing in 1945. Total
Casualties amounted to more than several thousand. After the war, General Douglas MacArthur, the
Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers for the Occupation of Japan, landed in Kanagawa, before
moving to other areas. U.S. military bases still remain in Kanagawa, including Camp Zama (Army),
Yokosuka Naval Base, Naval Air Station Atsugi (Navy).
In 1945, Kanagawa was the 15th most populous prefecture in Japan, with the population of about 1.9
million. In the years after the war, the prefecture underwent rapid urbanization as a part of the
Greater Tokyo Area. The population as of September 1, 2014, is estimated to be 9.1 million.[8]
Kanagawa became the second most populous prefecture in 2006.
Geography
Kanagawa is a relatively small prefecture located at the southeastern corner of the Kantō Plain[9]
wedged between Tokyo on the north, the foothills of Mount Fuji on the northwest, and the Sagami
Bay[9] and Tokyo Bay on the south and east. The eastern side of the prefecture is relatively flat and
heavily urbanized, including the large port cities of Yokohama and Kawasaki.
The southeastern area nearby the Miura Peninsula is less urbanized, with the ancient city of
Kamakura drawing tourists to temples and shrines. The western part, bordered by Yamanashi
Prefecture and Shizuoka Prefecture on the west,[10] is more mountainous and includes resort areas
like Odawara and Hakone. The area, stretching 80 kilometres (50 mi) from west to east and 60
kilometres (37 mi) from north to south, contains 2,400 square kilometres (930 sq mi) of land,
accounting for 0.64% of the total land area of Japan.[10]
As of 1 April 2012, 23% of the total land area of the prefecture was designated as Natural Parks,
namely the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park; Tanzawa-Ōyama Quasi-National Park; and Jinba
Sagamiko, Manazuru Hantō, Okuyugawara, and Tanzawa-Ōyama Prefectural Natural Parks.[11]
Topography
Topographically, the prefecture consists of three distinct areas. The mountainous western region
features the Tanzawa Mountain Range and Hakone Volcano. The hilly eastern region is characterized
by the Tama Hills and Miura Peninsula. The central region, which surrounds the Tama Hills and
Miura Peninsula, consists of flat stream terraces and low lands around major rivers including the
Sagami River, Sakai River, Tsurumi River, and Tama River.[10]
The Tama River forms much of the boundary between Kanagawa and Tokyo. The Sagami River flows
through the middle of the prefecture. In the western region, the Sakawa (river) runs through a small
lowland, the Sakawa Lowland, between Hakone Volcano to the west and the Ōiso Hills to the east and
flows into Sagami Bay.[9]
The Tanzawa Mountain Range, part of the Kantō Mountain Range, contains Mount Hiru (1,673 m or
5,489 ft), the highest peak in the prefecture. Other mountains measure similar mid-range heights:
Mount Hinokiboramaru (1,601 m or 5,253 ft), Mount Tanzawa, (1,567 m or 5,141 ft), Mount Ōmuro
(1,588 m or 5,210 ft), Mount Himetsugi (1,433 m or 4,701 ft), and Mount Usu (1,460 m or 4,790 ft).
The mountain range is lower in height southward leading to Hadano Basin to the Ōiso Hills. At the
eastern foothills of the mountain range lies the Isehara Plateau and across the Sagami River the
Sagamino plateau.[9]
