Tateyama, Port settlement and city in Chiba Prefecture, Japan.
Located at the southern tip of the Bōsō Peninsula, Tateyama faces the Pacific Ocean and the entrance to Tokyo Bay with a 110 square kilometer area.
The Satomi clan governed the region from Tateyama Castle during the Sengoku period, before the area transformed into Tateyama Town in 1889 and a city in 1939.
The city celebrates maritime traditions through festivals, including summer fireworks at Tateyama Bay and the September Yawatan-machi Festival that draws local communities together.
Visitors can reach Tateyama from Tokyo via express bus in 80 minutes, with the Tourist Information Office providing translation services for international travelers.
The National Tateyama Maritime Poly-technical School prepares students for maritime careers while the JMSDF Tateyama Air Base serves military operations in the region.
