\\Tourist Spots// This wooden pier is rare nationwide and is located at Haraoka Beach in Minamiboso City, Chiba Prefecture. It is also used as a filming location and is popular as a photogenic spot. It is located past a residential area, so the road is not very wide. There is a parking lot, but it is only for regular cars. It seems to get crowded on weekends and in the evenings on sunny days. The day we visited was a weekday morning, so it was completely empty. You can enjoy a very beautiful view.

⌇UMINO TERRACE VILLA A villa in front of the ocean that opened last December. 12 people stayed here⛺️🌊 We all prepared for the barbecue, then after the BBQ, we went to the sauna and the pool, and everything was luxurious. There was a fully equipped kitchen and 3 bedrooms. The rooms on the first floor had projectors, karaoke, and microphones🫣 The second floor had a great view of the ocean, and the view when you wake up in the morning was amazing. The dome tent gave me a glamping feeling, and the atmosphere changed completely. At night, I relaxed outside while looking at the ocean. It was close to spring, so it wasn't that cold. A villa where you can experience a sense of the extraordinary. I'm so glad I went that I wanted to stay here forever. It was so much fun from the preparations, I want to go again in the summer! 🚗Parking available for up to 4 cars # Check in 15:00- Check out -10:00 📍70-1 Kawaguchi, Chikura-cho, Minamiboso-shi, Chiba (About 10 minutes from Chikura Station) #uminoterrace #Villa #Chiba trip #Domestic trip #Chiba sightseeing #Hotel #Couple trip #Glamping #Hotel stay #Domestic trip #Accommodation report

The appeal of Hamayaki Market Kiyopachi lies in its hearty yet reasonably priced beach-grilled buffet-style experience featuring fresh seafood caught in Minami Boso. It's especially popular as a lunch spot for group tours and day-trip bus tours, where you can enjoy seafood to your heart's content in a lively atmosphere. Its greatest feature is its all-you-can-eat seafood buffet, which offers a wide variety of dishes. The beach-grilled seafood, grilled on a grill at your table, features a variety of seasonal shellfish, including scallops, hard clams, and turban shells. The flavor of the sea is irresistible when drizzled with soy sauce while the seafood is still piping hot. In addition to simply grilling, another highlight is the opportunity to create your own original seafood bowl using the provided sashimi, such as tuna, salmon, and marinated mackerel, and the vinegared rice machine. Kiyopachi's appeal lies in its wide selection of seafood, including sardine burgers, fried foods (like fried shrimp), meat, vegetables, curry, and even desserts, making it a great place for people of all ages and genders. In particular, the sardine hamburger has garnered rave reviews, making it a hidden gem that's perfect for even those who aren't big seafood eaters. While there's a time limit, staff members are on hand to offer advice and assistance on things like how to grill shellfish, so even first-time visitors to hamayaki can enjoy it with peace of mind. Stopping by during your Boso road trip is sure to satisfy both your stomach and your soul. 💡 📍Address: 446-1 Motoori, Minamiboso City, Chiba Prefecture 294-0822 #0YenTravel2025Autumn

There are many tourist attractions in Boso, Chiba. When you go there, one thing you don't want to miss is the souvenir spots! If you're looking to buy souvenirs unique to Chiba, such as seafood, fruit, or peanuts, we recommend Loquat Club. Located in Tomiura, it houses a souvenir shop with plenty of souvenirs, a shop selling dried fish, and a cafe where you can enjoy dishes made with Chiba ingredients, all in the same place. If you want to share memories of Chiba with others, we recommend buying souvenirs here. There's a cafe in the souvenir shop, and the loquat soft serve ice cream I had there was cool and refreshing. It was cold and delicious. This is a roadside station that I recommend for both resting and purchasing souvenirs. #JapanTravelGuide

I went to Iwai Beach, a beach in the Uchibo region of Chiba Prefecture. There's free parking, so I parked my car and relaxed, enjoying the ocean view. To the right, I could see the large triangular rock known as "Onigiri Rock," offering a beautiful view of the sea and rocks. As this Uchibo coast faces Tokyo Bay, it's characterized by calm waves. The wind wasn't too strong, so I was able to enjoy the ocean at my own pace. This time, I went empty-handed, so next time I'll bring a swim ring or swimsuit and enjoy splashing around in the ocean! #JapanTravelGuide #DomesticTravel

This stunning pier, made entirely of wood, stretches straight out from the sandy beach into the sea. The view of the pier extending into the ocean is so enchanting that it feels like a scene from a movie. You can walk all the way to the end of the pier, and along the way, you can clearly see small fish swimming leisurely in the water. Having seen this scenery often on TV and social media, I was deeply moved to witness it in person. I visited during the day, but I thought it would also be wonderful to enjoy the changing colors of the sea and sky during early morning or evening hours. Next time, I plan to visit at a different time to experience a new perspective!

Chiba Prefecture is probably the first stop for most people arriving in Japan. It's also considered Japan's most important gateway. Tokyo Narita Airport is located in Chiba Prefecture, not Tokyo City. Just like arriving in Taipei by plane, your first stop is Taoyuan, not Taipei City. Of course, Chiba is also part of the Tokyo metropolitan area. The area closest to Tokyo is called Central Chiba. This urban area is essentially integrated with Tokyo's living system. Every day, many residents commute to Tokyo for work and school on the Keisei Electric Railway, Sobu-Chuo, and Keiyo lines. Chiba City is also bustling, with numerous shopping malls and department stores, and the station square is bustling with people. But Chiba is actually quite large. Beyond the densely populated Central Chiba, Sawara and Choshi to the north offer rural and small-town scenery. The Uchibo area on Tokyo Bay is home to numerous factories, docks, and towns. The Sotobo area, situated on the Pacific Ocean, is a popular destination for many residents of the Kanto region for water activities or leisurely trips. There's also the Boso Crossroads Railway, which connects the Uchibo area to the Sotobo area. This line, jointly operated by the Kominato Railway and the Isumi Railway, dates back to the days of the National Railways. There's also the Kururi Line, the only non-electrified line in the Tokyo metropolitan area. There are two important reasons for visiting Chiba. The Kominato Railway, already mentioned, operates very old, classic diesel trains, including the Kominato Railway Kiha 200-type electric trains, some of which are nearly 70 years old. Though located in the Tokyo metropolitan area, it's only a 30-40 minute drive away. You can discover a small town that feels like it's been frozen in time in the 1970s. The Kominato Railway Café, located next to Godon Station, is beautifully decorated. Be sure to visit it while waiting for your train. Another reason I decided to travel to Chiba was because I wasn't originally into anime. My friend recommended a few school romance shows to me, and one of them really caught my eye: "Yahari Myojin no Seishun Rakume ha Machigatiru." The entire story, locations, and school setting of "Guaqing" (Ganqing) are all set in Chiba. Therefore, this trip included many special locations in downtown Chiba, such as Sobu High School, the overpass under the national highway, Chiba Tower, and Makuhari Beach. After all, it was a show that inspired me to buy a lot of merchandise. #Kiha200-shaped Keidosha #Kominato Railway #Guaqing #Yahari Myojin no Seishun Rakume ha Machigatiru #Chiba-ken

The wooden boardwalk at Dafangjiao Coastal Park winds along the dark basalt cliffs. Thirty meters below, waves crumble into a frothy foam. The salty sea breeze carries the delicate fragrance of Euphratica. Turning past the observation deck, a sudden, uninterrupted view opens up—the ocean unfolds before you, its hues gradating from cobalt blue to emerald against a clear sky. Notes: —A windproof jacket is recommended. —Strong winds often cause your phone's selfie stick to shake.

Grand Mercure Minamiboso Resort & Spa in Chiba Prefecture I highly recommend it. It was cheap but the facilities and service were so good!

📍Nojimazaki Lighthouse 630 Shirahama, Shirahama-cho, Minamiboso-shi, Chiba 295-0102 About an hour and a half by car on the highway from Tokyo We went to Nojimazaki in Minamiboso-shi, Chiba, which is famous for its lighthouse. We went to see the stars, so it was a night drive, but surprisingly (?) there were a few resort hotels and seafood restaurants in the area. I would definitely like to stay there next time. Going through a rotary-like area with a park in the center, you can see the lighthouse. There seem to be a lot of mosquitoes in the summer. There are crabs everywhere as you walk, so be careful not to step on them 🦀 They're cute If you go beyond the lighthouse, there is a white bench on the coast where you can see the sunrise and sunset, but the footing is rough, so women who have come wearing heels should not push themselves. The sunrise and sunset are probably quite beautiful, but the starry sky was so beautiful that I ended up staying on the bench. It was the middle of the night on a Friday, but there was only one person observing the stars, so it was a hidden gem. I'd definitely like to stay overnight next time.
