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 ritish—Secret)
