Here in Japan, a special train runs just for cyclists and their bicycles. This is the B.B.BASE train, which takes riders from points like Ryogoku in Tokyo, through Chiba City, and then along the beautiful coastline of the Boso Peninsula. This train was built for comfort, giving us plenty of room to relax and charge up for our bike ride and the charming seaside location of Tateyama. Would you take a ride on this train? Ticket booking information can be found on JR East’s website (link in bio).

Nowhere else does trains and bicycles quite like Japan!
Last weekend we got a chance to take a ride on a very unique train, the B.B.BASE, which takes riders along with their bicycles to various locations on Chiba’s Boso Peninsula. For our trip, we boarded at JR Narita Station and rode to JR Tateyama Station. From there, we took a 25km tour of the charming seaside city of Tateyama, enjoying local food and stunning sights!

If you’re wondering what the sound of hundreds of Japanese taiko drums being struck at once sounds like, then check out the 2025 Narita Drum Festival, which will take place this weekend: Saturday April 19 and Sunday April 20.

From mid-April to early May, the hillsides at Mother Farm are adorned in nemophila flowers, commonly known as baby blue eyes. Flower fields aren’t all you’ll find here at this ranch-style theme park in the hills of central Chiba though, as you and your family can also enjoy interacting with animals in a beautiful and expansive natural setting. Visitors also flock here to get a taste of local dairy products, and some even try out different agricultural experiences like cow milking. Come this spring if you can, or visit any time of year to see the seasonal sights and meet the animal friends that await here at Mother Farm!

Do you know about the different side quests you can do when visiting a shrine in Japan? Check out our trip to Tamasaki Shrine, the historically main shrine of the Kazusa region on the Boso Peninsula, next to Tokyo. It’s said that Tamasaki Shrine’s history dates back over 1,200 years.
Typical shrine visit tasks include: collecting goshuin, seals that serve as proof of your visit; expressing your wish on an ema plaque; and pulling an omikuji fortune slip. In addition, Tamasaki Shrine offers a chance to walk on the “barefoot path” which helps you purify yourself and recharge your spirit!

Stayed overnight this weekend at Cape Nojima, which is located on the southern tip of Chiba. This is such an underrated location with stunning seaside scenery where you can see both sunrise and sunset! I’d highly recommend this spot for nature lovers. Access by JR bus from Tokyo.
