In the past, Suzaki was so vast that it was called "Fukagawa Suzaki one hundred thousand tsubo (330,000 square meters)" and was also a scenic spot overlooking the ocean. It was a popular resort for the first sunrise viewing, moon viewing, shellfish gathering and boating before severe damage caused by massive tsunami in 1791 (the third year of Kansei). After that, the shogunate government made it a non-residential zone.
