Due to its strategic location and wide beaches, it was also one of the targets for the planned invasion of Japan during the final stages of World War II. The city quickly rebuilt after the war, annexing several neighboring villages in the mid-1950s to attain its current area. The population exceeded 200,000 by 2001 and Hiratsuka became a special city with increased autonomy from the central government. The current mayor is the independent OCHIAI Katsuhiro (落合克宏) who was elected April 24, 2011, and assumed office on April 30. Previously he had served two terms on the Hiratsuka city council and as council chairperson for the majority of the second term.

  • Rapid Range Expansion of the Feral Raccoon (Procyon Lotor) in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, and Its Impact on Native Organisms
    Rapid range expansion of the feral raccoon (Procyon lotor) in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, and its impact on native organisms Hisayo Hayama, Masato Kaneda, and Mayuh Tabata Kanagawa Wildlife Support Network, Raccoon Project. 1-10-11-2 Takamoridai, Isehara 259-1115, Kanagawa, Japan Abstract The distribution of feral raccoons (Procyon lotor) was surveyed in Kanagawa Prefecture, central Japan. Information was collected mainly through use of a questionnaire to municipal offices, environment NGOs, and hunting specialists. The raccoon occupied 26.5% of the area of the prefecture, and its distribution range doubled over three years (2001 to 2003). The most remarkable change was the range expansion of the major population in the south-eastern part of the prefecture, and several small populations that were found throughout the prefecture. Predation by feral raccoons on various native species probably included endangered Tokyo salamanders (Hynobius tokyoensis), a freshwater Asian clam (Corbicula leana), and two large crabs (Helice tridens and Holometopus haematocheir). The impact on native species is likely to be more than negligible. Keywords: Feral raccoon; Procyon lotor; distribution; questionnaire; invasive alien species; native species; Kanagawa Prefecture INTRODUCTION The first record of reproduction of the feral raccoon presence of feral raccoons between 2001 and 2003 in Kanagawa Prefecture was from July 1990, and it and the reliability of the information. One of the was assumed that the raccoon became naturalised in issues relating to reliability is possible confusion with this prefecture around 1988 (Nakamura 1991). the native raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides; Damage by feral raccoons is increasing and the Canidae), which has a similar facial pattern with a number of raccoons, captured as part of the wildlife black band around the eyes, and a similar body size to pest control programme, is also rapidly increasing.

After the war, in 1946, the Japanese government designated 115 cities as war-damaged cities, which would be reconstructed as official war-damage reconstruction projects based on land readjustment projects. War-damage reconstruction became an important challenge for the country’s post-war restoration, but its course of events and achievements has not been made sufficiently known to the public. By providing basic information about the designated war-damaged cities, such as area, population, the extent of the wartime destruction and the responsible public body (i.e. prefecture or municipality) for reconstruction projects, this study emphasises the diversified nature of these cities, their damage and the lines of approach in taking responsibility for their reconstruction. Keywords: war-damage reconstruction; war-damaged cities; World War II; post-war reconstruction; urban planning of Japan Introduction Seventy years have passed since the end of World War II.

  • To All Citizens of Shimane Prefecture, on April 16Th, the Government Of
    April 19th Message from the Governor (Excerpt) To all citizens of Shimane Prefecture, On April 16th, the Government of Japan announced new “priority measures to prevent the spread of infections” for Saitama Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture, Kanagawa Prefecture, and Aichi Prefecture. Because the basic policy for dealing with COVID-19 has changed, I request the following to all citizens. These requests shall be applicable from April 20th until May 5th 2021. For Saitama Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture, Tokyo Metropolitan Area, Kanagawa Prefecture, and Aichi Prefecture, these requests shall be applicable from until May 11th 2021. (Regarding Travel Between Prefectures) 1. Please refrain from travel between Shimane Prefecture and “areas under priority measures to prevent the spread of infections”—namely, Miyagi Prefecture, Saitama Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture, Tokyo Metropolitan Area, Kanagawa Prefecture, Aichi Prefecture, Kyoto Prefecture, Osaka Prefecture, Hyogo Prefecture, and Okinawa Prefecture. In addition, there are areas where the prefectural governments are requesting that citizens refrain from non-essential, non-urgent outdoor travel—namely, Sapporo City (Hokkaido), Yamagata City (Yamagata), Kagawa Prefecture, Matsuyama City (Ehime), etc. Please carefully reconsider travel plans to these areas. In particular, please refrain from travel if you have symptoms such as a fever. Except for when you have symptoms such as a fever, you do not need to refrain from travel if the purpose includes work, job relocation, job hunting, funerals, nursing care, etc. (Thorough Practice of Basic Infection Prevention Measures) 2. To prevent infections at your workplace or household, please be careful of the “5 situations” where there is a high risk of infection: social gatherings involving alcohol consumption, dining out with large numbers of people or for a long period of time, having conversations without wearing a mask, living with others in a confined space, and switching locations.
