[Chiba, Katsuura] Ochanoma Guesthouse
I went to Ochanoma Guesthouse in Kenkatsuura, Chiba!
It's about a 15-minute walk from Kazusa-Okitsu Station, and the sea stretches out in front of you!
It's a renovated old house, so it feels like grandma's house.
It's great value for money, with a one-night stay and two meals for under 5,000 yen!
For dinner, we had bonito and tuna caught in Katsuura.

[Chiba Prefecture] Set lunch using local fish from Katsuura
At "Kakui" in Katsuura, I had a set meal of boiled golden-eyed snapper and local fish sashimi.
If I go to Katsuura, I definitely want to visit this restaurant again.
The menu is rich, but many items sell out depending on the supply situation and time of day, so it's best to come with the intention of deciding on the menu on the spot.
Free parking is available, and it's convenient that you can use electronic money.
Address: 17 Kushihama, Katsuura City, Chiba Prefecture
Atmosphere/Facilities:
Relax in a box seat with a view of the sea
Recommended points:
Enjoy fisherman's cuisine made with fresh seafood caught in Katsuura. The main course and the small bowl of salted fish are excellent.
Average price: 1,500 to 2,500 yen
Budget per person: Lunch is around 2,000 yen
Rating: ★★★
(If you want to relax, weekdays are recommended!)

[Katsuura, Chiba] Pikaichi Ramen
"Pikaichi Ramen" in Katsuura City, Chiba Prefecture
This is a restaurant where you can eat Katsuura tantanmen, a popular B-class gourmet dish😊
You can adjust the spiciness of tantanmen, so even those who don't like spicy food can eat it😋
A drive to Katsuura is recommended on a hot day.
When you head towards Onjuku Dam, the cool air feels good even in summer.

Moriya Beach, one of the 100 best beaches in Japan
Moriya Coast, a 10-minute walk from Kazusa-Okitsu Station on the JR Sotobo Line, is famous for its crystal clear water. There is also a parking lot, so you can go by car.
On Oshima Island offshore, there is a red torii gate, which is also the symbol of Moriya Coast. You can walk across to Oshima Island at low tide during spring tides, so it might be a good idea to go at that time!
There are many beaches with calm waves in the surrounding area, such as Ubara Coast and Okitsu Coast, so why not try looking for a spot that suits your taste?

We headed for "Ubara Utopia" on the first day, but the navigation system was wrong, so we tried again on the second day! !
On the way to Katsuura Underwater Park, we found a sign and a parking lot.
There is a free parking lot that can accommodate about 10 cars and a toilet.
It takes about an hour to hike around the 2,300m hiking trail
At the entrance to the hiking trail, there is the long-established Ubara Ryokan, which has been in business for over 100 years.
There is a dimly lit hand-carved tunnel just inside the entrance.
After passing through one, another one appears... it's a little scary...
After passing through there, you go through a tunnel of trees like a jungle. It makes you feel like you're an explorer...

I was heading to Ubara Ideal, but the place I was guided to by NAVI was wrong, and I ended up on the beach.
Then...I discovered a white torii gate on the beach!!
After doing some research, I found out that Ubara Beach was the end of the hiking course of "Ubara Ideal".
This is apparently the first torii gate of Yasaka Shrine, and the way it stands, splashing with the waves, was very powerful and majestic.

Kumano Kodo|Okumo Totsu covered in snow
Although the Kumano Kodo Trail is steep, it was snowing along the way. After walking through the snow, you will see spring scenery. It's like walking into a mountain and passing through four seasons.
We chose to stay in Nachikatsuura that day. It is a small fishing village with the freshest tuna. The local cats are all fat. I guess the cats’ stomachs are full of baby fish😝

🌸 2025 Dates: February 22 – March 3
🎎 Main Display: Tomisaki Shrine, Katsuura
Every year on March 3rd, the Hina Matsuri, or Doll Festival, is celebrated all over Japan. On this occasion, also known as Girls’ Day, families display ornately decorated dolls as an expression of hope for the healthy growth of girls.
Some localities, like Chiba’s Katsuura City, hold community-wide events. During the festival period (February 22 – March 3) you’ll find spots all around town that are beautifully decorated with Hina Dolls, with the main attraction being the 1,800 Hina Dolls that adorn the steep staircase leading up to Tomisaki Shrine. It’s a stunning sight you won’t want to miss if you’re in the Tokyo area during this time. Here’s how to get here by train from Tokyo:
🚉 Tomisaki Shrine is about a 10-minute walk from JR Katsuura Station.

[Tokyo → Katsuura] A quiet port town accessible from Tokyo. A hidden gem with few tourists❗️No Filter❗️
"If you go to Katsuura, you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the many local attractions while spending time at a leisurely pace! ( ˶ ᷇ 𖥦 ᷆ ˵ )"
① 📍 Tomisaki Shrine
・The stone steps leading to the torii gate and the lanterns give you a unique feel of a Japanese shrine.
・If you climb the stone steps, you'll see the shrine grounds overlooking Katsuura city!
②~③ 📍Spice Coffee House
・You can drink delicious coffee made with carefully selected beans
・I was personally interested in the beans from Pu'er, which is famous for its Pu'er tea
・In addition to coffee, they also have matcha latte, roasted green tea latte, chai, etc., so I recommend taking it out and drinking it on the beach
⑤~⑦ 📍Katsuura Central Beach
・There is a torii gate at this beach, making it a great photo spot
・Especially at sunset, the combination of torii gate, sea, and sunset is a spectacular sight
⑧~⑩ 📍Keyaki Restaurant
・A restaurant where you can eat Katsuura's local gourmet dish, "Katsuura Tantanmen"
・Katsuura Tantanmen was very delicious with the moderate spiciness of chili oil and the sweetness of onions
・In addition to Katsuura Tantanmen, you should also try "Namero"! It is a local dish from Chiba Prefecture that is made by mixing fresh fish and seasonings such as green onions like mince! The key is to add vinegar at the end.
"Katsuura has a Japanese-style townscape, the sea, delicious food, and there are few tourists, so it's recommended for those who want to relax! Please visit once (*´﹀`*)"
*Please be careful of the train on the way back!!! There are few trains.

Katsuura, Chiba Prefecture, seafood gourmet trip🐟
#0 Yen Trip November Katsuura City faces the Pacific Ocean in the southern part of the Boso Peninsula. We went on an overnight trip in search of beautiful sea and delicious seafood. In the evening, we enjoyed plenty of seafood at Kappo Nakamura. The sashimi was fatty and melted in the mouth. And very plump.
In the morning, we had a seafood bowl at the famous Katsuura Asaichi. It was a special price, so I highly recommend it!!

[Chiba Prefecture] A natural aquarium! Katsuura Undersea Park Observatory °・🐠
The underwater park in Katsuura City, Chiba Prefecture, is located in the sea, as its name suggests🌊‼️
[A natural aquarium🐬✨]
Enter the sea via a spiral staircase! !
You can see the natural state of the sea at a depth of 8 meters♡
There are many types of fish, and you can see a variety of fish💕
However, since it is a natural aquarium, the fish you can see will change depending on the weather of the day!
The underwater park's website will tell you the condition of the sea on that day, so it is recommended to check it out before you go👍
*Please note that there is no elevator, so you cannot go into the sea with a stroller or wheelchair.
This time, three generations of parents and children went, and it was good to be able to see it at a leisurely pace♡
How about taking a look at the beautiful sea of Katsuura and taking a look inside the sea of Katsuura at the same time? ✨
If you're going to Katsuura, be sure to check it out🥰

Moriya Beach (Moriya beach) The sea of Japan is not like Thailand. Mostly, the weather is hot and there are no coconut trees. 5555 Let's go with Ang 😊 It's not difficult to get there. Just book your flight with Trip.com, book your accommodation, transportation, and car, and then go to the airport.
Tip 📌 Moriya Beach
It is one of the countless best beaches in Japan. It is located near the city of Katsuura. It is only a two-hour drive from the capital. The beach is the leader in the ranking of the Japanese and world tourism industry. White sand, coral reefs, and clear blue water all attract a large number of tourists to Moriya Beach. In addition, the location is very convenient and there is a bus stop right on the coast. #dreamvoyage
