Check out Gallery & Café FUNAKATA SOKO, built in a renovated 99-year-old stone warehouse in Chiba’s Tateyama City. This historic building is one of the last remaining structures here constructed with the prized ‘boshuishi’ stone excavated from the nearby Mt. Nokogiri. The café also houses a gallery that exhibits paintings of the Minamiboso area (southern Chiba) drawn by local artist Kazuo Mizoguchi. After he passed away in 2019, his family decided to devote this space to display some of the over 300 works of art he left behind. The Minamiboso area is known for its natural beauty, and the gallery here provides visitors with a chance to see these works which encapsulate the region’s character and charm.
One of Mr. Mizoguchi’s daughters, a certified English speaking tour guide, Kaori Sasho, runs the café and looks forward to your visit to this slice of preserved local history. Learn more in English on their website: funakatasoko.com or follow: @funakatasoko

If you can’t make it here next weekend, you can still see the floats on display at any time of year at the Suigo Sawara Float Museum.

Enjoy fresh catches of Japan’s “Ise Ebi” lobster along Chiba’s Pacific coast! Restrictions put in place here to prevent the overfishing of Ise Ebi are lifted in August, making the time period from August to October the best time to crunch these crustaceans. Coinciding with this season is the Ise Ebi Festival, held in the town of Onjuku from September to October, when visitors can casually sample many kinds of Ise Ebi dishes. Whether as melt-in-your-mouth sashimi, grilled on an open fire, or in miso soup, your taste buds will certainly thank you for taking the trip to Chiba to try Ise Ebi at its freshest!
