explanation: Located in the south-east of Kanagawa prefecture, Fujisawa developed as temple town of Yugyoji and post town of Tokaido road during Edo period while the southern sector on Sagami bay around Enoshima has become a big summer resort since 20th century. The opening of Tokaido and Odakyu Enoshima railways has made Fujisawa an important commuter suburb and industry town such as automobile, machinery and foodstuff. The population is 367,000.
