Wakasu

The place was known connected with the murder of Junko Furuta, a high school student whose body was found there dumped in barrel and completely concreted after six teenage boys, led by Hiroshi Miyano (including Tetsuo Nakamura and Koichi Ihara), killed her at their house in Ayase, Adachi, owned by Shinji Minato's family, in 1989.

Save for the camping ground, Wakasu was constructed on a base of incinerator bottom ash remains from garbage, a form of land reclamation common in Japan.

[4] There is also a large wind turbine located nearby the golf course.

Wakasu was planned to be the venue for sailing events at the 2020 Summer Olympics,[5] but the yachting instead took place in Enoshima, Kanagawa Prefecture.
