Chiba's extensive train and highway bus networks allow visitors to access the rich nature, hidden countryside gems, historic districts, local temples and shrines, seaside hot spring resorts, and world-famous surf breaks found here near Tokyo.

This traditional Japanese sento bathhouse closed 13 years ago, but thanks to this man, Kinichiro Ogura, its retro vibes live on. After a typhoon damaged his yakisoba shop in 2019, he relocated here, and converted the baths to a small concert hall. If you’d like to visit this unique local spot, it’s located about a 10 min walk from JR Kisarazu Station, about 90 minutes from Tokyo Station.

Last Sunday, we went to see the Setsubun Mamemaki at Kasamori-ji Temple, AKA Kasamori Kannon. Events like this take place all over Japan on a day known as Setsubun, with the Mamekamki bean throwing traditionally performed to ward off evil and bring good fortune in the spring. In 2026, Setsubun will fall on February 3rd. 

Kamsamori Kannon’s temple hall is the only temple structure in Japan that’s built over a cliff on all four sides, making it a one-of-a-kind destination. It’s located within a preserved old-growth forest in the hills of central Chiba, just outside Tokyo.

Directions by train & bus from Tokyo: Take the JR Sotobo Line to Mobara Station, and go to the bus station outside the south exit. Take the Kominato bus from the number-4 bus stop. The bus follows different routes depending on the time of day, with some routes stopping at the “Kasamori” bus stop right in front of the Kasamori Kannon entrance, while others stop at the “Kiriwari” bus stop, about a 15-minute walk from the Kasamori Kannon entrance (Note: the “Kiriwari” bus stop may show as “Fukazawakiriwari” on Google Maps).

For an alternate train route: Take the JR Uchibo Line to Goi Station, transfer to the Kominato Railway, then get off at Kazusa-Ushiku Station. The same Kominato bus line as described above can also be accessed at Kazusa-Ushiku Station. I’d recommend researching the routes on Google Maps before planning your trip, as the bus lines can be a little confusing and usually only run about once or twice an hour.

🍓 All-you-can-eat strawberry picking, day or night at “The Farm Hoshizora Ichigo-en” 

We take fruit picking very seriously in Japan, and strawberries are no exception. Earlier this week we went to check out a brand new strawberry picking facility that’s part of The Farm, an Agrizm Park in Katori, near Narita Airport. We enjoyed a 40-minute all-you-can-eat strawberry picking feast during the day, but the greenhouse also lights up like a starry sky, letting visitors pick strawberries at night too! If you’re looking for a full immersion in the countryside near Narita Airport, you can also make your visit an overnight stay at The Farm’s glamping site or cottages.

The Umihotaru PA, an engineering marvel, is a rest stop found on a man-made island right in the middle of Tokyo Bay! It’s part of the Tokyo Wan Aqua-Line Expressway, a combination bridge and tunnel that takes you across Tokyo Bay from Kisarazu City in Chiba to Kawasaki City. 

Even if you don’t have a car, you can get there by the bus that runs between JR Kisarazu Station (East Exit bus stop no. 7) and JR Kawasaki Station (East Exit bus stop no. 22). Bus schedules vary by day, and we caution those planning to stay for sunset not to miss the last bus. If you drive there in your own vehicle, please be aware that this is a toll road and fares vary depending on day and time. More English info at: https://www.umihotaru.com/en/traffic/
