History
Haneda's Anamori Beach
Before the construction of Haneda Airport, the area was a prosperous mineral springs and beach resort centered around Anamori Shrine [ja ] . In 1930, the Japanese postal ministry purchased a 53-hectare (130-acre) portion of reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay to the east of Haneda from a private individual in order to construct an airport.[ 2] Haneda Airfield first opened in 1931 with a flight from the airport on August 25.[ 2]
In 1932, the town of Haneda [ja ] was merged into the newly created Tokyo City ward of Kamata , which was in turn merged with Ōmori to form Ōta in 1947.[ 3]
