*''Japanese'': 戸田 ''(Heda)''
Heda is a village in [[Izu province]], on the western coast of the Izu peninsula, facing [[Suruga Bay]]. It is today part of Numazu City, [[Shizuoka prefecture]]. Historically, Heda is perhaps best known as the site where members of [[Yevfimy Vasilyevich Putyatin|Yevfimy Vasilyevich Putyatin's]] Russian embassy to Japan stayed for a time in [[1854]]-[[1855]] while building a new ship to replace the Russian vessel ''[[Diana]]'', which was destroyed in a storm.
[[Tokugawa shogunate]] officials met with Putyatin on several occasions in early 1855 at temples in Heda including Daigyô-ji 大行寺 and Hôsen-ji 宝泉寺 to discuss terms relating to the return of a portion of the crew to Russia; Russian agreement to American sailors being allowed to remain in [[Shimoda]]; resident consuls; and port regulations in Shimoda and [[Hakodate]].
