Choshi
Chōshi occupies a low coastal plain at the mouth of the Tone River in Chiba Prefecture, on the eastern edge of the Bōsō Peninsula. The Tone, Japan’s second-longest river, reaches the Pacific here after a broad lower course that has long supported transport and settlement. Chōshi developed as a fishing port and a centre of soy-sauce brewing; Yamasa traces its local origins to 1645. On a nearby Pacific headland, Inubōsaki Lighthouse was completed in 1874 and remains a defining coastal landmark. Port facilities, residential districts and riverside embankments reflect a city shaped equally by the open ocean and the Tone’s wide estuary.

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.

Chiba Prefecture occupies the Bōsō Peninsula on Japan’s Pacific coast. Its western shore faces Tokyo Bay, while the Pacific shapes the peninsula’s eastern and southern coasts; the Tone River marks much of its northern boundary. The prefecture combines Tokyo’s commuter cities with rice-growing countryside, fishing ports and beaches farther along the peninsula. Narita is home to Naritasan Shinshō-ji, a major Buddhist temple founded in 940, as well as Narita International Airport. Kujūkuri Beach follows a long sandy stretch of coast, and the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line connects western Chiba with Kanagawa.
