Kamezaki

Japanese: 亀崎 - かめざき

Minatomachi is a fishing village along Mikawa Bay in Chita County, Owari Province, now Handa City, Aichi Prefecture. It was called Kanzaki in the old days. The 1567 "Shoha Fujikendoki" (Records of Fuji Viewing in Shoha) states, "There is a fishing village with a wharf and more than 1,000 households, and since it is a prosperous and wealthy place, there are not a few wealthy families." Shrimp fishing was popular, and in 1722 the Owari Domain ordered the Shogunate to offer shrimp to the altar, and the town was granted shrimp fishing privileges. It was also frequently ordered to operate official ships for the Owari Domain, transporting rice, lumber, sake, and other goods to Edo. In particular, the sake brewing industry developed dramatically after the Genroku period (1688-1704), with 21 sake brewers and over 20,000 koku of rice produced in 1862, and over 40,000 barrels of sake stored in Edo in 1860. After the Meiji period, a shipping route to the opposite shore of Mikawa Bay was opened. In 1937, it became part of Handa City.

尾張国知多郡，現愛知県半田市にあった，三河湾沿いの漁村・湊町。古くは神崎と称されたという。1567年の《紹巴富士見道記》には〈亀崎といふ所へ網おろさせ，みるめかづかすべしとあれば行けるに〉などと記され，江戸時代にも《尾張名所図会》に〈当所は船着にして一千余家の漁村なり，尤繁昌富饒の地なれば，豪家も少なからず〉とある。海老漁が盛んで，1722年には尾張藩から幕府へ献上するための神前海老献納を命じられ，以後海老漁の特権を付与された。尾張藩の御用廻船も度々命じられて，廻米・材木・酒などの江戸輸送も行った。特に酒造業は元禄（1688年−1704年）以降飛躍的に発展し，1862年には酒造人21名・酒造米高２万石余を数え，1860年の江戸積酒は４万余樽に上った。明治以降は三河湾対岸への航路が開かれた。1937年半田市の一部となる。
