Sodegaura, Industrial city in Chiba Prefecture, Japan

Sodegaura extends along 28.7 kilometers of Tokyo Bay coastline, featuring extensive areas of reclaimed land for industrial development and residential zones.

The area holds references in the Nara period chronicle Kojiki and transformed from Kimitsu District territory to an independent city in 1991.

The city schedules seasonal celebrations including the Koinobori festival, displaying carp streamers from April to May to honor Children's Day.

The transportation network includes the JR East Uchibō Line, Kururi Line, Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line, and Ken-Ō Expressway for regional connectivity.

A section of coastal highway earned the nickname 'Chibafornia' due to its resemblance to Southern California's coastal roads.
