We study the ground-state properties of two-dimensional quantum spin systems having the valence-bond-solid (VBS) type ground states. The `product-of-tensors' form of the ground-state wavefunction of the system is utilized to associate it with an equivalent classical lattice statistical model which can be treated by the transfer-matrix method. For diagonalization of the transfer matrix, we employ the product-wavefunction renormalization group method, which is a variant of the density-matrix renormalization group method. We obtain the correlation length and the sublattice magnetization accurately. For the anisotropically `deformed' S = 3/2 VBS model on the honeycomb lattice, we find that the correlation length as a function of the deformation parameter behaves very much as that in the S = 3/2 VBS chain.
