Chōshi

Located at the northeast end of Chiba Prefecture, Choshi extends across 84 square kilometers where the Tone River meets the Pacific Ocean.

The city received its official status on February 11, 1933, following centuries of development as a fishing port during the Tokugawa period.

Two major soy sauce manufacturers, Yamasa and Higeta, established in 1645 and 1616 respectively, maintain their production facilities in Choshi.

The Choshi Electric Railway connects the JR Choshi station to Tokawa, providing access to multiple coastal attractions along its 6.4-kilometer route.

The Byobugaura cliffs stretch for 10 kilometers along the southern coast, rising 40 to 50 meters above the Pacific Ocean.
