You won’t see the Ubarakan featured in most travel guides aimed at foreign tourists. But if you’re looking for a truly authentic experience in Japan, a stay at this ryokan inn is one of our top recommendations. For over a century the Goto family has welcomed guests here on the Ubara coast: one of the most scenic, yet lesser-known, seaside spots outside Tokyo. With its stunning views, hand-carved tunnels, hot spring cave baths, and fresh seafood course dinner, Ubarakan offers the kind of memories you’ll only make in the quiet corners of Japan.

An aquarium where you’re the one in the fishbowl! This is not your usual observation tower, as instead of climbing to the top for a panoramic view, visitors here descend stairs that lead to the ocean floor, eight meters below sea level. Windows at the bottom allow you to see dozens of fish species swimming around in their natural environment. Think of it as an open-water aquarium, tucked along the Chiba coastline.
Location information: Katsuura Undersea Park かつうら海中公園, Katsuura, Chiba, Japan.

🌸 Cherry Blossom Preview for Tateyama Castle, Shiroyama Park, Tateyama, Chiba:
At the time of this post, forecasts call for the cherry blossoms to start blooming on March 21, the bloom to reach 50% in late-March, and the full bloom to start around April 1 (source: Weathernews). Usually, the peak sakura bloom lasts less than a week but please be aware that actual conditions vary from year to year. These video clips were taken last year on April 8, but this year blooms across Japan are predicted to arrive slightly earlier than last year.
In recent years, peak cherry blossom viewing occurred in Chiba during late March and early April. As the sakura bloom arrives in Chiba, we’ll do our best to post real-time updates from our favorite sakura spots, so please keep an eye on our posts and stories.
