About Hamada City
Hamada is a city located in Shimane Prefecture, Japan. It is the third largest city in the prefecture and is located at the southwestern end of the prefecture. It is a coastal city on the Sea of Japan and possesses beautiful white sand beaches, which make the city a popular destination for local tourists in the summer. Hamada is a small city around 1 hour 40 minutes by expressway to Hiroshima. The city was founded on November 3, 1940.
On October 1, 2005, the towns of Asahi, Kanagi and Misumi, and the village of Yasaka (all from Naka District) were merged into Hamada. Therefore, Naka District was dissolved as a result of this merger.
As of March 2017, Hamada City has an estimated population of 57,142, with roughly 43,000 people living in the coastal urban ‘city’ area.
The prefectural university (The University of Shimane) is located in Hamada, as is the Institute for Northeast Asian Research.
