== History ==
The epicenter of the Great Kantō earthquake in 1923 was deep beneath Izu Ōshima Island in Sagami Bay. It devastated Tokyo, the port city of Yokohama, and the surrounding prefectures of Chiba, Kanagawa, and Shizuoka, and caused widespread damage throughout the Kantō region.〔Hammer, Joshua. (2006). (''Yokohama Burning: the Deadly 1923 Earthquake and Fire that Helped Forge the Path to World War II,'' p. 278 ).〕 The shallow nature of the seabed on the north of the bay, and the funnelling effect of tsunami and typhoon wave energy, contributed to certain parts of the Shonan coast having suffered considerable damage, including the destruction of the Kōtoku-in temple housing the Great Buddha, or Daibutsu during the massive tsunami of 1498.〔Kamio, Kenji & Willson, Heather, An English Guide to Kamakura's Temples and Shrines, p.143-144.〕
