“Chiba” is located within the

Tokyo metropolitan area

and has mild climate and many sightseeing spots.

Surrounded by sea and rivers on all four

sides, Chiba is blessed with the nature full of water

and greenery.

Under the influence of the warm current

(Kuroshio Current) that flows offshore, the land is

seldom frosted even in winter. The precipitation is

heavy in summer and light in winter.

Its eastern part faces the Pacific Ocean and

western part faces Tokyo Bay. Besides, its northwest-

ern part borders on Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture,

and northern part borders on Ibaraki Prefecture.

With a total area of 5,156.64 sq km, Chiba is

composed of Boso Kyuryo (hills) with a series of 200

to 300-meter-high mountains, comparatively flat

Shimosa Plateau, a far-reaching Tone River basin,

and the coast of Kujukuri. The total length of coast-

line of Chiba Prefecture is about 530.5km, showing

various sceneries.

Grand Festival of Sawara佐原の大祭

This is a grandiose festival which is held for two days in the end of September. The 18 “mikoshi” (portable shrines) are shown, representing three districts of Ohara, Tokai and Namihana. On the first day comes the climax when about a dozen of the shrines are carried into the sea at a time and washed by bearers. They valiantly and gallantly carry and throw mikoshi into the sea. On the second day, the festival is rounded out with the ceremony called “O-Wakare Shiki”, where the participants gather together in Ohara elementary school at the signal of a firework after dark and hoist the mikoshi high into the air, feeling sorry for the end of the festival. The town is filled with passion and gentleness of men of the sea.

Ohara Hadaka Matsuri大原はだか祭り

MatsuriThe word of “Matsuri” means festival in English. It’s the nominal of the verb of “Mats-uru”, which means “Enshrine” in Japanese. In ancient Japan, people who presided over the rituals also took the helm of politics and they were sometimes viewed as one. Although the religious or political atmosphere has been diluted by time, you can still get a glimpse of their elements in the festivals below.

Mt. Nokogiriyama is a 329.4-meter-high mountain, which constitutes a part of Bosokyuryo Hills. The mountain con-sists of tuff that was suitable for construction and it used to be a quarry from the Edo Period. The shape of the ex-posed mountain surface took on a saw-toothed shape, giv-ing it a name of “Nokogiri”, which means “saw.” The view from “Jigoku-nozoki”, which is situated near the top of the mountain is both beautiful and thrilling. This place is very unique in Japan in that the slope on the south side of the mountain is the temple grounds. The temple, Nihonji was built by the Buddhist monk called Gyoki at the behest of Emperor Shomu about 1,300 years ago. You can visit the largest Buddha statue carved on a rock face with a height of 31 meters, Hyakushaku-Kannon statue, which might remind you of the Bamiyan Buddha and the 1,500 stone figures of Arhats.

SakeChiba is blessed with natural resources, which pro-

duce pure water and good rice. Junmaishu, made

from the rice and very delicately aged, deserves

the title of very deliciousness of Chiba.

Loquat JellyChiba is one of the best producers of loquat in Japan.

Thanks to the mild climate all the year around, the southern

part of Chiba Prefecture produces renowned “Boshu Biwa

(loquat)”that boasts 250 years of history and rich sweetness.

Please enjoy this palatable fruit in jelly.

Soy sauceChiba is the largest producer of soy sauce in the nation. Of all the

places, with an abundance of water, Choshi City and Noda City

make the brand-name soy sauce. Please enjoy this product of Chi-

ba which mostly or partly flavors Japanese and world cuisines.

Boshu-Uchiwa (fan)Chiba’s Boshu-Unchiwa is considered as one of

the three major fans along with Kyoto’s Kyo-Uchiwa

and Kagawa’s Marugame-Uchiwa.

mous for bamboo, a prime ingre-

dient of fan and all 21 processes

are done by hand.

You can sense the craftsmanship

from the works.

ture produces the most in the country. How-

ever, peanut is the most well-known prod-

ucts among other things. It is made with
