The place was known connected with the murder of Junko Furuta, a high school student whose body was found there dumped in barrel and completely concreted after four teenage boys, led by Hiroshi Miyano, killing her at their house in Ayase, Adachi.


Details


Wakasu, like many other areas of Tokyo, is reclaimed land. Save for the camping ground, Wakasu was constructed on a base of incinerator bottom ash remains from garbage, a form of land reclamation common in Japan.

Roughly half of the island is an industrial zone, while the other half contains the Wakasu Seaside Park,[1][2] Wakasu Golf Course,[3] and a popular camping ground.[4] There is also a large wind turbine located nearby the golf course. The 18-hole golf course and the campground attract many people from all over Tokyo.

Wakasu was planned to be the venue for sailing events at the 2020 Summer Olympics,[5] but as of 2015 it is planned that the yachting will take place in Enoshima, Kanagawa Prefecture.[6] Instead it will host golf moved from Kasumigaseki, Saitama as the planned venue.

Wakasu is the location near where the body of Junko Furuta, the victim of the "1989 concrete-encased high school girl murder case", was discovered after her murder.[7]
