Next to Tokyo & Home of Narita Airport
Visit Chiba is the official sightseeing, tourism, and tourist attraction information website of Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Chiba is the home of Narita International Airport and is conveniently located next to Tokyo on a peninsula along Japan’s Pacific coast. 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. Experience Japanese food culture and enjoy fresh seafood too, as Chiba’s mild climate and unique geography make it a hub of agriculture and fishing. We hope to see you soon!

Fire Drill at Kasamori Kannon: One of Japan’s most unique temples!
This week, we went to Kasamori Kannon to see their annual fire drill. This historic wooden building 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.
Google Maps Plus Code: 95XX+VH Chonan, Chiba
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. Luckily, I’ve found that Google Maps has recently become a lot more reliable for countryside buses in Chiba.
The temple hall is open from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM (4:30 from April to September)

It’s Tulip Time in Chiba!
While we’re still waiting for the cherry blossoms to fully bloom, you can enjoy another spring flower display at Sakura Furusato Square right now! Over 700,000 tulips of around 100 different varieties surround the square`s windmill during the tulip festival, which started on March 27th and is expected to continue until April 21st. The grounds are free to enter, but if you’re looking for another activity to do while you’re here, you can rent a bicycle and ride around the lake that`s right next to the windmill. Sakura is located between Tokyo and Narita Airport, making it a great day-trip destination for a spring day out in nature!
