Asahi, Coastal municipality in Chiba Prefecture, Japan
Located 50 kilometers from Chiba city, Asahi extends along Kujukuri Beach and encompasses 129 square kilometers of varied terrain at the Pacific Ocean.
The region fell under Chiba clan control during the Kamakura period, with General Kiso Yoshimasa later establishing Ajito Castle in the area.
The city maintains strong ties to traditional Japanese festivals, including seasonal celebrations and the Iioka Shiosai Marathon at Kujukuri Beach.
Asahi operates 15 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and connects to major transportation networks for efficient travel within Chiba Prefecture.
The agricultural production in Asahi ranks first in Chiba Prefecture and ninth nationally, supported by fertile land and maritime resources.
