The northeastern corner of Chiba Prefecture is home to the Byobugaura coastline. This coastline gets its namesake from Japanese ‘byobu’ traditional folding screens, which the vertical cliffs here－some over 50-meters in height－are said to resemble. The Iioka Lighthouse stands at the southwestern end of the Byobugaura sea cliffs atop Cape Gyobu, offering a sweeping view of the Pacific Ocean.

The seas which surround Chiba on three sides keep the winter weather here relatively mild when compared with much of Japan, and this is especially so on the southern end of Chiba’s Boso Peninsula. Here in the coastal town of Kyonan, the local climate stays warm enough to make winter an ideal time for growing narcissus flowers (common name: daffodil). In fact, this area has been utilized since the mid-19th century for growing daffodils to be exported to Tokyo (then called Edo).
One recommended way to enjoy the daffodils here is to visit the Ezuki Narcissus Road, a local country road that is popular with nature lovers. A 3-km stretch of the road is lined with daffodils for much of the winter, and is especially lovely on warm, windless days when the fragrance of the flowers is at its strongest. The road is a 15-minute walk from Hota Station on the JR Uchibo Line, and takes about 40 minutes to walk one-way.
The best dates to view the daffodils are usually from late-December to early-February, however this year the peak came much earlier than usual. Even if you missed this year’s peak, if you are planning a future winter trip to Japan, consider a stop in Kyonan to see the lovely daffodils in bloom!

‘Yuki-tsuri’ is a traditional Japanese technique for protecting trees from having their branches broken by heavy snow. The process involves using ropes to bind a tree to a towering central support pillar. The ropes are woven between branches, and then strung back to the central pillar, resulting in an elegant cone shape. Although Chiba rarely sees snow, Chiba City’s Mihama-en Japanese Garden offers visitors a chance to enjoy the aesthetic of yuki-tusri displays up-close during the wintertime.
📍Mihama-en is a 10-minute walk from Kaihin Makuhari Station on the JR Keiyo Line.
