🥜Chiba Peanuts🥜
Chiba Prefecture ranks as one of the five most agriculturally productive prefectures in Japan, thanks in large part to its mild marine climate and relative abundance of arable land. This agricultural heritage, in combination with a thriving fishing industry, has cultivated a rich food culture here over the centuries, and today Chiba offers a wide variety of comestible delights for visitors to experience. Of all the crops grown here in Chiba, it’s the peanut that garners the most attention, as the prefecture is the nation’s number-one producer of peanuts. The harvest comes in the fall, but peanuts and peanut-themed snacks can be found at souvenir shops throughout the prefecture all year long. If you’re nuts about buying and eating locally, you can’t go wrong with Chiba peanuts!

Location: Ubara Utopia Hiking Trail, Katsuura City
There is a spot in the Ubara District of Chiba’s Katsuura City literally named utopia, or ‘risokyo’ in Japanese. This coastal area earns such high praise thanks to the natural beauty of its dramatic sea cliffs and cavernous coves. The Ubara Utopia Hiking Trail follows a 2.3-kilometer loop out the tip of Cape Myojin, offering views of these stunning shores and the Pacific Ocean beyond. The trail is just a short walk from JR Ubara Station, making this a convenient day trip destination for even those coming by train from Tokyo.

Thank you to @benjaminbeech for these photos taken at the Old Samurai Road Hiyodorizaka Slope located in Chiba’s Sakura City. The scenes along this bamboo-lined walking path are said to have hardly changed since the Edo period when Sakura was an influential castle town. Today the slope gives visitors a chance to follow in the footsteps of the samurai who once traversed this area near the old castle site. The quintessentially Japanese setting makes for the perfect photo backdrop too!
