[Chiba, Katsuura] Ochanoma Guesthouse
I went to Ochanoma Guesthouse in Kenkatsuura, Chiba!
It's about a 15-minute walk from Kazusa-Okitsu Station, and the sea stretches out in front of you!
It's a renovated old house, so it feels like grandma's house.
It's great value for money, with a one-night stay and two meals for under 5,000 yen!
For dinner, we had bonito and tuna caught in Katsuura.

[Chiba Prefecture] Set lunch using local fish from Katsuura
At "Kakui" in Katsuura, I had a set meal of boiled golden-eyed snapper and local fish sashimi.
If I go to Katsuura, I definitely want to visit this restaurant again.
The menu is rich, but many items sell out depending on the supply situation and time of day, so it's best to come with the intention of deciding on the menu on the spot.
Free parking is available, and it's convenient that you can use electronic money.
Address: 17 Kushihama, Katsuura City, Chiba Prefecture
Atmosphere/Facilities:
Relax in a box seat with a view of the sea
Recommended points:
Enjoy fisherman's cuisine made with fresh seafood caught in Katsuura. The main course and the small bowl of salted fish are excellent.
Average price: 1,500 to 2,500 yen
Budget per person: Lunch is around 2,000 yen
Rating: ★★★
(If you want to relax, weekdays are recommended!)

[Katsuura, Chiba] Pikaichi Ramen
"Pikaichi Ramen" in Katsuura City, Chiba Prefecture
This is a restaurant where you can eat Katsuura tantanmen, a popular B-class gourmet dish😊
You can adjust the spiciness of tantanmen, so even those who don't like spicy food can eat it😋
A drive to Katsuura is recommended on a hot day.
When you head towards Onjuku Dam, the cool air feels good even in summer.

Moriya Beach, one of the 100 best beaches in Japan
Moriya Coast, a 10-minute walk from Kazusa-Okitsu Station on the JR Sotobo Line, is famous for its crystal clear water. There is also a parking lot, so you can go by car.
On Oshima Island offshore, there is a red torii gate, which is also the symbol of Moriya Coast. You can walk across to Oshima Island at low tide during spring tides, so it might be a good idea to go at that time!
There are many beaches with calm waves in the surrounding area, such as Ubara Coast and Okitsu Coast, so why not try looking for a spot that suits your taste?

I had so much fun going to the Nihon Sandai Morning Market
Katsuura Morning Market in Katsuura City, Chiba Prefecture, is one of Japan's three major morning markets, boasting a history of over 400 years. It is a lively market lined with fresh local seafood, seasonal vegetables, and handmade processed products.
It is held every morning from around 6:30 to around 11:00, and is crowded with locals and tourists.
One of the attractions is the warm exchanges you can have with locals and learn how to cook ingredients.
The "Katsuura Asaichi Share Marche" is held on the second and fourth Sundays of every month, adding to the fun.
Katsuura Morning Market, where history and humanity live on, will provide visitors with a heartwarming experience.

Large volume tuna sashimi set meal
At Kanemasa Shokudo in Katsuura, Chiba Prefecture, you can get a large set meal with 15 thick slices of locally caught tuna for only 1,300 yen!
The thickness and softness of the tuna was impressive... I could tell right away that it was very fresh tuna!!
The set meal also came with a generous serving of rice and clam soup, so I was very satisfied!
There were many locals there, and we lined up for about 30 minutes that day.
Kanemasa Shokudo is so delicious and popular that people line up, so if you're in the Katsuura area of Chiba Prefecture, be sure to stop by!

We headed for "Ubara Utopia" on the first day, but the navigation system was wrong, so we tried again on the second day! !
On the way to Katsuura Underwater Park, we found a sign and a parking lot.
There is a free parking lot that can accommodate about 10 cars and a toilet.
It takes about an hour to hike around the 2,300m hiking trail
At the entrance to the hiking trail, there is the long-established Ubara Ryokan, which has been in business for over 100 years.
There is a dimly lit hand-carved tunnel just inside the entrance.
After passing through one, another one appears... it's a little scary...
After passing through there, you go through a tunnel of trees like a jungle. It makes you feel like you're an explorer...

I was heading to Ubara Ideal, but the place I was guided to by NAVI was wrong, and I ended up on the beach.
Then...I discovered a white torii gate on the beach!!
After doing some research, I found out that Ubara Beach was the end of the hiking course of "Ubara Ideal".
This is apparently the first torii gate of Yasaka Shrine, and the way it stands, splashing with the waves, was very powerful and majestic.

Kumano Kodo|Okumo Totsu covered in snow
Although the Kumano Kodo Trail is steep, it was snowing along the way. After walking through the snow, you will see spring scenery. It's like walking into a mountain and passing through four seasons.
We chose to stay in Nachikatsuura that day. It is a small fishing village with the freshest tuna. The local cats are all fat. I guess the cats’ stomachs are full of baby fish😝

Every year on March 3rd, the Hina Matsuri, or Doll Festival, is celebrated all over Japan. On this occasion, also known as Girls’ Day, families display ornately decorated dolls as an expression of hope for the healthy growth of girls.
Some localities, like Chiba’s Katsuura City, hold community-wide events. During the festival period (February 22 – March 3) you’ll find spots all around town that are beautifully decorated with Hina Dolls, with the main attraction being the 1,800 Hina Dolls that adorn the steep staircase leading up to Tomisaki Shrine. It’s a stunning sight you won’t want to miss if you’re in the Tokyo area during this time. Here’s how to get here by train from Tokyo:
🚉 Tomisaki Shrine is about a 10-minute walk from JR Katsuura Station.

[Tokyo → Katsuura] A quiet port town accessible from Tokyo. A hidden gem with few tourists❗️No Filter❗️
"If you go to Katsuura, you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the many local attractions while spending time at a leisurely pace! ( ˶ ᷇ 𖥦 ᷆ ˵ )"
① 📍 Tomisaki Shrine
・The stone steps leading to the torii gate and the lanterns give you a unique feel of a Japanese shrine.
・If you climb the stone steps, you'll see the shrine grounds overlooking Katsuura city!
②~③ 📍Spice Coffee House
・You can drink delicious coffee made with carefully selected beans
・I was personally interested in the beans from Pu'er, which is famous for its Pu'er tea
・In addition to coffee, they also have matcha latte, roasted green tea latte, chai, etc., so I recommend taking it out and drinking it on the beach
⑤~⑦ 📍Katsuura Central Beach
・There is a torii gate at this beach, making it a great photo spot
・Especially at sunset, the combination of torii gate, sea, and sunset is a spectacular sight
⑧~⑩ 📍Keyaki Restaurant
・A restaurant where you can eat Katsuura's local gourmet dish, "Katsuura Tantanmen"
・Katsuura Tantanmen was very delicious with the moderate spiciness of chili oil and the sweetness of onions
・In addition to Katsuura Tantanmen, you should also try "Namero"! It is a local dish from Chiba Prefecture that is made by mixing fresh fish and seasonings such as green onions like mince! The key is to add vinegar at the end.
"Katsuura has a Japanese-style townscape, the sea, delicious food, and there are few tourists, so it's recommended for those who want to relax! Please visit once (*´﹀`*)"
*Please be careful of the train on the way back!!! There are few trains.

I stayed at Harvest Katsuura
#0yentripnovember Harvest Katsuura is a members-only hotel on a hill. It opened over 40 years ago, but the rooms have been fully renovated and are very clean! The view is great, and you can see the pool and the sea from the balcony. Katsuura is famous for being cool in the summer, so I recommend staying there in the summer.

Katsuura, Chiba Prefecture, seafood gourmet trip🐟
#0 Yen Trip November Katsuura City faces the Pacific Ocean in the southern part of the Boso Peninsula. We went on an overnight trip in search of beautiful sea and delicious seafood. In the evening, we enjoyed plenty of seafood at Kappo Nakamura. The sashimi was fatty and melted in the mouth. And very plump.
In the morning, we had a seafood bowl at the famous Katsuura Asaichi. It was a special price, so I highly recommend it!!
