Choshi

The Pacific Ocean and the mouth of the Tone River define the setting of Choshi — fishing boats, sea routes and river traffic have long shaped this eastern edge of Chiba Prefecture. Cape Inubosaki reaches into the ocean south of the city, and its lighthouse, first lit in 1874, remains a prominent coastal landmark. Choshi is also an established centre of Japanese soy-sauce production; the Yamasa and Higeta companies both have roots here. The coastal cliffs of Byobugaura, west of the centre, underline the meeting of the Kanto region and the open sea.
