ocr: Hiratsuka Wharf Hiratsuka developed as a city partly due to its natural port where the Sagami River flows into the Sagami Bay. Ideal for both trade and fishing, boats were able to land right on the Iishermen on the beach beach. The wharf burned during WW2. In 1955 the fish market was rebullt and, in 1965, was expanded to three times its original size. Mrs. Miyagawa on the beach with Haruyo (age 3) and Shigeru (age 5). RETURI
