Tomisato, Agricultural city in Chiba Prefecture, Japan.

Tomisato is a city in Chiba Prefecture characterized by its agricultural landscape and rural character. The area is dominated by farmland and forests that form the visual structure and layout of the region.

The area served as a horse-breeding center under the Tokugawa Shogunate during the Edo period. This chapter ended when the region became an official village in 1889.

The local way of life remains connected to farming traditions, with many residents still engaged in cultivation work across the countryside. The fields and forests shape daily rhythms and how people interact with their surroundings throughout the seasons.

The city is well connected by national routes and expressways that facilitate travel through the region. Since this is a rural area, planning transportation in advance helps visitors move around more easily.

The town was the site of major protests during the 1960s and 1970s when farmers resisted the construction of Narita International Airport nearby. These events left a lasting mark on local memory and reflect how strongly residents are tied to their land.
