 Uraga was prosperous as a port town for many years. It had become the base of foreign trade once at the begining of the Edo period. |
 In the middle of the Edo period, a Shogunate magistrate's office was established in Uraga and the ships going to and comming from Edo underwent inspection at this place, which made the town of Uraga greatly prosperous. <From the guide book of URAGA> |
 Uraga appeared on the historical front stage at the time of the Commodore Perry arrival in 1853, thereby Japan opened a country to foreign diplomatic and trade relationship. |
