According to Victory at Sea (H.Saloman and R.Hanser, 1959. Doubleday & Co., which is a questionable and certainly biased as a historical account) Futtsu was on 30 Aug 1945 the site of the initial Allied landing on the Japanese mainland following the declared suerrender. This was a test whether the Japanese would obey the Emperor's surrender order. There was no resistance.

Futtsu is a land projected in the Tokyo bay and lies to about 80 km of Tokyo.
Futtsu City was established in September 1971 after three towns, old Futtsu Machi, Osawa Machi, and Amaha Machi, had been combined in April of the same year.
Futtsu City will further invite enterprises to locate themselves in the City, develop resort facilities benefited by nature, supply housing area and promote local industries to create a vital town "Futtsu" keeping harmony between people and nature.
The operating results of TEPCO's first three CCGT plants at Futtsu were an important element in the decision to build the fourth CCGT plant.
The new station, Futtsu Four, will be another 1,520MW station using GE's advanced H system although shipment is not expected until 2006, and power generation until 2010.
Fuel for the plant is supplied from an LNG terminal 7km north of Yokohama.
