Köppen climate type:
The type locality for "yokosukaite", the natural analogue of synthetic gamma-MnO2, described from here in 1937. The same mineral was described from Ghana 25 years later as "nsutite", the currently accepted name for the species. (Note: This is NOT the much better known city of Yokosuka near Tokyo.) This locality has been extinguished in order to build a factory on the spot, so collecting is no longer possible.
