Moroiso

Evidence from that period have been found, including sedentary to semi-sedentary housing, pottery, stone tools and fishing implements.

During historic times, the rugged and hilly Moroiso coastline, together with the adjoining Aburatsubo inlet, was selected by the feudal Miura clan to build a series of fortifications, with the Arai castle at its center.

Late of the Second World War in 1945, the Japanese Navy selected the Misaki Marine Biological Station of the University of Tokyo at Moroiso as training school and harbour for a fleet of Kamikaze midget submarines, the Kairyu (海龍 "Sea Dragons").

[2] They were supposed to be employed in suicide bombing missions against the US Navy ships during its final approach to Tokyo, but the war ended before any of them could see action.

Moroiso harbours a small fishing community and a few hundred pleasure boats on moorings or stored on the ground.
