词条 | Shimada |
释义 | Shimada Japan city, Shizuoka ken (prefecture), Honshu, Japan. It lies on the lower Ōi River, opposite the former city of Hamada; in 2005 Hamada was merged administratively into the city of Shimada. During the Edo (Tokugawa) era (1603–1867) it was an important post town on the Tōkaidō (Eastern Sea Highway) because fording the river was both difficult and dangerous. In the early 20th century the city became a trade centre for timber from the forest-covered Akaishi Range upstream. The area contains several large paper mills and lumber and woodworking industries. Tea and oranges are cultivated on the hills to the north. Pop. (2005) 96,078. |
