Tateyama
Among the places of Chiba Prefecture, Tateyama stands out for its position on the southern Bōsō Peninsula, facing the entrance to Tokyo Bay. Tateyama Bay forms a broad coastal arc where local waters meet one of Japan’s most important maritime corridors. The city was a centre of Awa Province under the Satomi clan during the Sengoku period. On Mount Jōyama, Tateyama Castle is a 1982 reconstruction housing the Hakkenden Museum, devoted to Kyokutei Bakin’s epic novel Nansō Satomi Hakkenden and its connection with the Satomi family. The surrounding peninsula combines low wooded hills, cultivated land and a deeply indented coast.

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.
