  On December 23, 1854, Diana, the flagship of the Russian fleet bearing Admiral Yevfimy Putyatin and his delegation for the negotiation of the Treaty of Shimoda was struck by a tsunami from the Ansei Tōkai earthquake and sank.

  Heda is well known for the Japanese spider crab called takaashi-gani in Japanese which can grow up to 4 metres in length.
