Recommended scenic spot: Iioka Gyobu Misaki Observatory Address: 1309-1 Kaminagai, Asahi City, Chiba Prefecture Gyobu Misaki is pronounced "Gyobu Misaki". This is a 65-meter cape located at the southern end of Byobugaura, jutting out into the Pacific Ocean. The view from the cape has been selected as one of Japan's Night View Heritage, Japan's 100 Best Night Views, Japan's 100 Best Sunsets, Japan's 100 Best Sunrises, and Kanto's 100 Best Views of Mt. Fuji. In winter, if the weather is good, you can see Mt. Fuji, and in late February, if the conditions are good, you can see "Diamond Fuji," where the sun sets over the top of Mt. Fuji.

We will introduce "Iioka Oyagi Cape and Observatory", which is known as one of the most scenic spots in Japan, with its spectacular cliff views. At the observation deck, you can see the observation deck, lighthouse, and Bell of Hope! When you go down, you will find "Iioka Minato Park", which is visited by families with children and couples on dates. You can get there by public transportation, but if you want to go to both the observation deck and the coastline, it is convenient to travel by car. 🌊 Spot name: Iioka Oyagi Cape and Observatory 📍 Location: 1309-1 Kaminagai, Asahi City, Chiba Prefecture 🚘 Access: Car ▶︎ Take the Chiba Togane Road via the Choshi Link Road, and from the end point Yokoshibahikari IC, it is about 50 minutes.

#DomesticTravelRecord #ChibaTrip #Iioka #IiokaOnsen #HotSpringTrip Iioka Onsen is located on the coast near Choshi, a famous fishing town in the northeastern part of Chiba Prefecture. Its black water is rare nationwide (it's actually brown, but looks black when the bath is deep). I went to Iioka Onsen Gloria Kujukurihama. I've stayed at the accommodation before, but this time I used it for a day trip. There is only one indoor bath and one open-air bath, so it's not very large. However, since it's not well known, it's always empty, so depending on the time of day, you can have it all to yourself. You can see the ocean from the open-air bath. There are many cats living near the hot spring, which is a must-see for cat lovers. After the hot spring, I went fishing, but unfortunately there were no fish. It's a shame because last time I was able to catch a lot of small rockfish. . This is the northern end of Kujukurihama, a spawning ground for sea turtles, where I've seen sea turtles before. If you want to eat seafood, I recommend a trip to Choshi. The sardine catch is particularly large here, so sardine sashimi is delicious, and you can also try unfamiliar local fish. It's a great day trip from Tokyo, so I recommend it. 💰Price per person: 650 yen

"Chikuma" is a soba restaurant in Asahi, Chiba. The interior has a nostalgic feel, and you have to take your shoes off before entering! Everyone has a tatami room, and tea is self-service🍵 The menu is extensive, and the soba is delicious, but I also recommend trying the tempura and soba noodles! The soba comes with a variety of salts, and the taste of each is new and innovative😳 You'll discover new ways to eat it🌼 There are also free buckwheat seeds near the register! 🕒11:30-15:00 (closed on Tuesdays) 🌏I 2592, Asahi, Chiba #0yentrip #Chiba

#japantrip Parking lot and water available. There are tetras on both sides, so it might be a good place to let kids play. It's not that wide, but it's a sandy beach and there are no rocks. During the swimming period, the tide wasn't low, but the rope wasn't very deep, so it felt more like floating and playing in the water than swimming. You can also see Choshi. The sea is also beautiful and comfortable. The shells are large bivalves like those found on other Kujukuri beaches. There was plenty of parking on weekdays.

Perhaps because it was a weekday afternoon, there were no customers in the parking lot. I was also curious about Ramen Boys next door. I only passed by, but it's one of the places I would have liked to visit if I had had the time. #AsahiCityChiba #Yokaichiba #AseruKing #RamenBoys #AseruOwner
