The Umihotaru PA, an engineering marvel, is a rest stop found on a man-made island right in the middle of Tokyo Bay! It’s part of the Tokyo Wan Aqua-Line Expressway, a combination bridge and tunnel that takes you across Tokyo Bay from Kisarazu City in Chiba to Kawasaki City.
Even if you don’t have a car, you can get there by the bus that runs between JR Kisarazu Station (East Exit bus stop no. 7) and JR Kawasaki Station (East Exit bus stop no. 22). Bus schedules vary by day, and we caution those planning to stay for sunset not to miss the last bus. If you drive there in your own vehicle, please be aware that this is a toll road and fares vary depending on day and time. More English info at: https://www.umihotaru.com/en/traffic/

A “Yellow Spring Road” in Winter: Nanabatake Road | Open from Tomorrow, January 11 – March 9, 2025
You may associate January in Japan with a snow-capped Mt. Fuji or powdery ski slopes, but on the Chiba peninsula south of Tokyo, the colors of spring are already brightening up the landscapes. Here you’ll find the Nanabatake Road, a vast field of yellow nanohana flowers. The nanohana are planted and cared for by the locals of Kamogawa City, who invite visitors every year to come take a stroll through their beloved flower fields. The Nanabatake Road will be open this year from tomorrow January 11 through March 9, so if you need to add some color to a bleak Tokyo winter day, hop on a train and come check out Chiba!
Access: Nanabatake Road is about a 20-minute walk from JR Awa-Kamogawa Station. You can get there by a limited-express Wakashio train from Tokyo Station in about two hours.

🚴♂️ Explore the countryside outside Tokyo by bicycle with Boso Adventure Tours
Although northwestern Chiba shares a border with Tokyo, the southern end of the prefecture sits a world apart from the capital’s metropolitan sprawl. With Tokyo Bay on one side, and the wide expanse of the Pacific on the other, it is here in the hills of the Boso Peninsula where visitors can experience the charms of the Japanese countryside, just a short trip from Tokyo.
If you are looking to get off the beaten path during your next Tokyo trip, Boso Adventure Tours is here to help. Kenji Setogawa, founder of Boso Adventure Tours, sets out to make the Boso area accessible to visitors from all over the world. While cycling is their specialty, the tours on offer here involve a variety of experiences, including: hiking, farm-to-table dining experiences, cultural tours, and interactions with local craftspeople.

Mt. Nokogiri makes for a one-of-a-kind day trip adventure from Tokyo with its stunning seaside views, mind-blowing sheer vertical cliffs, and historic Buddhist sites! Although many visitors opt to ride the Nokogiriyama Ropeway to the mountaintop, this cable car occasionally needs to be shut down for repairs, with the next scheduled maintenance occurring from January 14 to February 14, 2025. Luckily in our opinion, the easily-accessible hiking trails are the best way to experience this unique mountain. You can access the trails by taking the JR train lines to Hama-Kanaya Station or by taking the Tokyo Bay Ferry from Kurihama.

✨ Have a happy winter holiday at Country Farm Tokyo German Village! ❄️
It’s time once again for the annual winter illuminations light display here at Country Farm Tokyo German Village. This German-inspired family theme park found here in Chiba transforms to a wonderland every winter, and this year the stunning show will last until April 6! You can spend a whole evening here strolling through the colorfully lit hillsides, but our top recommendation is to take a ride on the park’s Ferris wheel to see all the lights at once from high above!
