Hiratsuka, Urban center in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan
Located along Sagami Bay, Hiratsuka extends across 67.88 square kilometers with residential areas in the south and plains near the Sagami River.
The settlement transformed from a post town on the Tōkaidō route connecting Edo to Kyoto into a commercial hub after the 1887 Tokyo-Kobe railway construction.
The Hiratsuka Tanabata Festival brings residents together for traditional celebrations that showcase local customs and seasonal decorations throughout the city streets.
The city contains 28 elementary schools, 15 middle schools, and multiple transportation options including the Tōkaidō Main Line for commuters to Tokyo.
Industrial facilities in northern Hiratsuka manufacture rubber products, chemicals, machinery, and automobiles while southern regions maintain agricultural production.
