explanation: Located in eastern Shizuoka prefecture, Numazu owns not only a good harbor but occupies a junction of the old Tokaido road which goes around Hakone mountain and the new one which goes through. For that reason, it had developed as a post town during Edo period. Since World War II, Numazu has been active in industries such as machinery, chemicals and sea food processing. It is also an important fishing base and a tourism base to Izu peninsula. The population is 210,000.
