‘Matsuri’, traditional Japanese festivals, have long served an important role in strengthening communal bonds in localities throughout Japan. Not only do these festivals help us connect with each other, they also help us connect with our past. Today, festival goers can still experience a ritual that has lasted through the centuries, the carrying of ‘mikoshi’. As part of this tradition, participants chant and march down the street hoisting up these portable shrines that were built to transport the gods.
Nakadai Seisakusho is a company here in Chiba that manufactures mikoshi from start-to-finish, the only one of its kind around Tokyo. This family-owned business has been making mikoshi here in the Gyotoku District of Chiba’s Ichikawa City for over 150 years. The Gyotoku Mikoshi Museum, the first mikoshi museum in the world, is also located next to their workshop. Come by @mikoshiya to get a close-up look at these portable shrines for yourself!
🚉 Nakadai Seisakusho and the Gyotoku Mikoshi Museum are an 8-minute walk from Myoden Station on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line.

🍉 Introducing Tomisato Watermelons!
Tomisato City, near Narita Airport, is known throughout Japan as a hub of watermelon production. The Tomisato Watermelon brand was established in the 1930’s, and became a national sensation after a well-received gift of the tasty fruit from the city to the royal family.
During the pinnacle of the watermelon harvest season in June, the city hosts the Tomisato Watermelon Road Race.* Participants in this race can recharge at the watermelon stations along the course, or enjoy all-you-can-eat watermelon at the finish line.
You can also find watermelon ‘ema’ votive plaques at the city’s Katori Shrine and spot mailboxes around the city decorated with images of Tomi-chan, the watermelon-headed city mascot.
* Canceled in 2022

In 1951, three lotus seeds estimated to be 2000-years-old were discovered at an excavation site in Chiba City by botanist Dr. Ichiro Oga. He planted one of seeds in May of that year, and in July of the following year a lotus flower bloomed! Today the Oga lotus, named after Dr. Oga, is a designated natural monument of Chiba Prefecture. Oga lotus flowers can be found in parks all over Chiba from late-June to early-July, but with a blooming period of just four days, it won’t be easy to catch a glimpse of this ancient blossom.

📍 Mt. Nokogiri
Mt. Nokogiri is best known for its lookout spot called ‘Jigoku Nozoki’, meaning “a glimpse into hell.” This rock outcropping sticks straight out from the sheer cliff face, hanging unnervingly – but safely – a hundred meters above the ground below.
🚉 The Mt. Nokogiri ropeway cable car station is an 8-minute walk from the JR Hamakanaya Station, or a 12-minute walk from the Tokyo Bay Ferry terminal.

📍 Hondo-ji Temple, Matsudo City
An estimated 50,000 hydrangeas bloom every June at Hondo-ji Temple, earning it the nickname ‘Hydrangea Temple’.

If you’re in Tokyo and in search of some serenity, just hop across the border to Chiba’s Matsudo City and take a stroll through Hondo-ji Temple.
