Cape Futtsu, the mouth of Tokyo Bay, was the front line of defense for the capital from the end of the Edo period until Japan’s defeat in the war in 1945. A sea fort built during the Meiji and Taisho periods is located on a cape that juts out like a crane’s beak above Tokyo Bay. It is formed by a sandy beach about 5km long.
