📍 An Isumi Railway train car passing by Otaki Castle.
Although many travelers dream of zipping around Japan on a shinkansen bullet train, it’s the local train lines that offer riders a more intimate look at the slower, more relaxed world of the Japanese countryside. The Isumi Railway runs through the rural landscapes of central Chiba, offering visitors to the Tokyo area the type of experience only a local train can provide. The Isumi line links to the JR lines at Ohara Station, which can be reached from Tokyo Station in just 80 minutes via a limited-express train. To enjoy a full-day train adventure, the Isumi and Kominato railways link together at Kazusa-Nakano Station, forming a local rail network that crosses Chiba’s Boso Peninsula from the Pacific to Tokyo Bay.

A Rakan Rendezvous in Chiba
Although you won’t find many tourists venturing out to Kotoku-ji Temple, this hidden gem tucked away in the woods of Ichihara City has attracted a different type of crowd. 365 Rakan statues can be found here adorning a section of the temple grounds, with the number to eventually reach an even 500. This collection of monuments is meant to represent a gathering of exalted Buddhist monks. The Rakan each sport their own unique pose and facial expression, giving photographers a chance to choose their favorite subject of the bunch. It’s also said that the enlightened Rakan bring an air of spirituality to this spot, offering a chance to capture something a little less tangible on your Chiba photo trip.
