was a town located in Tagata District, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. As of March 1, 2005, the town had an estimated population of 19,602 and a density of 566 persons per km². The total area was 34.63 km². On April 1, 2005, Nirayama, along with the towns of Izunagaoka and Ōhito (all from Tagata District), was merged to create the city of Izunokuni and thus it no longer exists as an independent municipality. During the Kamakura and Muromachi period, Niirayama was the site of a castle belonging to the Hōjō clan, and the late Hōjō clan. During the Edo period, it was the location of the ''daikansho'' offices of the Tokugawa shogunate controlling Izu Province. Famous for its strawberry crop, Nirayama sees many visitors from bigger cities (such as Tokyo) coming for seasonal picking and the picturesque views of Mount Fuji. ==External links== * (Izunokuni official website ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nirayama, Shizuoka」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
