To commemorate 300 years since the establishment of the Uraga Magistrate’s Office, 8mm film containing footage of the area was collected and assembled by local elementary school students to reveal the townscape, festivals, sports days, and lifestyle of the time.

The full film is planned for release on YouTube in January 2021.

Uraga Magistrate’s Office

Uraga was ground zero for Japan’s opening of its ports and prospered as a shipbuilding area from the Edo period to modern times. 300 years ago, the Uraga Magistrate’s office acted as a base for sea rescue and local government procedures, as well as a frontline for defending the capital, Edo, from enemy ships.
