1SUMMARY AND EVALUATION OF TOKYO AREA
r10
AREA DESCRIPTION: The Tokyo Area (90.17) stretches
back from the west and north shores of Tokyo Bay.
It includes the great Tokyo-Yokohama district. The
growth of Kawasaki, between Tokyo City and Yoko-
hhama, has created a continuous built-up area for
approximately 25 miles from the head of Tokyo Bay
down ite western side.
Tokyo City is at the edge of one of the largest
plains on Honshu, main Japanese island. Except for
tome low foothills, the land west of the bay is at sea
level for about 6 miles inland, where there are hills
‘of 300 feet elevation. These rise gradually to moun-
tains 4000 to #000 fect high 35 to 40 miles farther
‘west. Mt. Fuji, over 12,000 feet high, is approximately
60 miles southwest of Tokyo. The entrance to Tokyo
Bay is Uraga Strait, a natural defensive gateway,
less than § miles wide between Kannon Point on the
‘west and Futtsu Point (See Mito Area 90.14) on the
t- Kannon Point is part of Sagami Peninsula, a
ly area with elevations up to 600 feet. The point
just south of Yokosuka, naval center and fourth
largest city of the area
The combined population of Tokyo, Yokohama,
Kawasaki, and Yokosuka is approximately 8,000,000,
for 10% of Japan proper. The Tokyo population
density of 31,000 per square mile is three times that
of Berlin, and in three congested wards (Asakusa,
Honjo and Kanda) the density is more than 100,000
per square mil
‘Tokyo City is the capital of the Empire and general
headquarters for the armed forces. Its arsenal area of
‘munitions plants and stores is one of the most ex-
tensive in Japan. The city is also headquarters for
combines which have dominated Japanese industry
and commerce. Iti the communications center of the
Empire, in terms of both operations and equipment
‘manufacture, and is a vital concentration of railroad
facilities. There are aircratt, steel, rubber and other
major plants of all types in Tokyo and its suburban
districts, Many small plants are found in the north-
eastern part of the city
Kawasaki, politically a separate city, isin effect a
highly industrialized suburb of Tokyo. It has over
2504 of Japan's total steam power-plant eapacity, and
it also is a key oil port.
Yokohamma’s dock and harbor facilities enabled the
port to handle approximately 25% of Japanese for-
ign trade before the war.
"Three of Japan's dozen largest shipyards are in
Yokohama and Yokosuka. The latter, a city of about
110,000 in 1933, is populated almost entirely by per-
sonnel of a bate which is administrative head-
quarters for the Navy, workers at the base shipya
(one of the largest in Japan), and their families. Ac-
cording to Japanese news reports, on April 1, 1943,
the towns of Uraga, Zushi, Nagai and Okusu and the
villages of Takayama and Kitashimoura were inc
porated into Yokosuka, which then became the tenth
largest city in Japan, with a population of £350,000.
‘The district gouth from Yokohama to Yokosuka
was not built up in 1941, but seattered construction
land development were already under way, as part of
Japanese strategic development of new war’ goods
‘capacity outside of congested areas like the Tokyo-
CONFIDENTIAL
Kawasaki-Yokohama district. The small town of
‘Matsuda 30 miles northwest of Yokosuka and just
‘outside of the Tokyo Area, for example, is the reported
site of a huge new tank factory and proving ground,
‘The availability of labor, established industrial
‘capacity and good transportation, however, hav
tended to keep much of the dispersion close to the
‘older centers, As has been the case around Nagoya,
Kobe-Osaka and other major centers, Kawasaki and
Tokyo's other “industrial suburbs” have had rapi
war-time growth. The peace-time activities of the
‘Tokyo Bay district have been considerably curtailed,
but the war has changed their character rather than
their relative importance.
Tokyo's vulnerability to fire is well known and is
‘of major significance. Population and industrial con-
‘gestion are combined with a highly inflammable type
of construction. Japanese fre experts have estimated
that 80 to 90% of all Tokyo City structures are of
{inflammable materials. The city's eastern section has
been swept by many fires, most often in winter dut-
ing the season of high winds. Yokohama also has a
high fire hazard area that coincides with the most
congested districts and lies across the commercial
district. Its population density is lower, however, and
‘to a greater extent than in Tokyo the rebuilding after
the 1923 earthquake was utilized in Yokohama to
reduce congestion and the fire hazard.
Maps on page M-9 show the close correlation be-
‘ween fire hazard and density of population, industrial
development, and inflammable districts in Tokyo,
Yokohama and Kawasaki, The distribution of wooden,
‘buildings in Tokyo is also shown. The red overprint
outlines the sections with the two highest fire-hazard
ratings, based on insurance data. While many of the
‘major plants listed as targets are not in these indus-
triabconcentration areas, these sections include some
large plants and many smaller industries important in
the war effort.
‘These maps also indicate the expoture of the
‘Tokyo Bay districts transportation system to fre ha
ard, The belt of railroad and electric railway arteries
Detween Tokyo and Yokohama passes through an area
where the fire hazard is relatively high. Asaleusa
‘Ward, the most inflammable and congested section
in Tokyo City, has a network of railroad lines, key
stations and yards, Shiba Ward of Tokyo, where rail
passenger traffic is heaviest, is high in fre hazard.
‘This coincidence of fire hazard with population,
dustrial development, and transportation congestion,
Indicates extreme vulnerability to incendiary attack,
‘Tokyo is known to have an extensive system of
ir defense and an air raid warning network which
includes small radio-equipped ships at sea. Improve
‘ment ean be expected over its inadequate functioning
at the time of the April 1942 raid, Some specific AA
fand searchlight locations have been spotted on the
‘Objective Area Map; undoubtedly there are many
‘mobile gun units capable of quick shifting. Buildings
such asthe Imperial Diet and large department stores,
parks, and roofs of race tracks and stadium grand
stands are reported as machine gun battery locations.
‘One AA ting has been reported as following roughly
the loop of electric railway lines around the western
