Kanagawa Daiba (Kanagawadaiba)

The area off the old highway, head toward the sea along the waterfall river, and hit the JR Freight Line is the Kanagawa Daiba site. At the time of the opening of the port, a cannon was placed and guarding the port. The Edo Shogunate ordered the construction of the Iyo Matsuyama Domain and built a defense battery with the design of Kaishu Katsu. Daiba at that time was a fan-shaped protruding into the sea with an area of about 8,000 tsubo, and was completed in 1860 (1860), spending about 70,000 cars and one year. It was used for fire artillery until it was abolished in 1899 (1899), but the landfill has progressed and now only a part of the stone wall can be seen. （Published in Kanagawa-juku History Pamphlet）
