Furusato Tokyo Konjaku Sampo Vol.2

[Machine Translation] This second volume in the series focuses on Haneda, Omori, and Kamata. The city of Haneda was originally a fishing town in the Edo period (1603-1867) on a sandbar in Tokyo Bay, and in the Meiji period (1868-1912) it became a gateway town for a popular shrine. It further became a holiday resort in the Taisho and Showa prewar periods, and is now the home of Tokyo International Airport and the gateway to Tokyo's skies. Omori has a history as a coastal resort and vacation spot, and Kamata is remembered by many people as a movie town. This book traces the evolution of the landscapes of these three towns along the Tokaido Highway.
