Location correct?[edit]

Where are the sources for both the history and the coordinates of this town? I found this National archive World War II reconnaisance photo that indicates the Kasumigaura Naval Air Base located just south of Tsuchiura.^[1] 36°3′N 140°13′E / 36.050°N 140.217°E / 36.050; 140.217 The photo labels a built-up area as Kasumigaura but this is in a different location from today's Kasumigaura. I am curious what it was, and whether there were two towns with the same name.

The coordinates for the city of Kasumigaura are correct. The coords you provided are not in Kasumigaura at all; they are in Ami, Ibaraki as you can verify on Google Maps. However I see that there is a Kasumigaura Park in Tsuchiura, so apparently the name is used fairly widely. I also see that there are Self Defense Force land and air bases within Ami town limits, so these might correspond to what you linked to. -Amake (talk) 03:49, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
