Wakasu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wakasu (若洲?) also Wakasu Island, is an island located in Koto, Tokyo. Wakasu, like many other areas of Tokyo, is manmade. Save for the camping ground, Wakasu was constructed on a base of trash, a form of land reclamation common in Japan.
Roughly half of the island is an industrial zone, while the other half contains a golf course and a popular camping ground.
The 18-hole golf course and the campground attract many people from all over Tokyo.
Wakasu is planned to be the venue for sailing events at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[1]
