Katsuura, Coastal fishing port in Chiba Prefecture, Japan
Located in the southeast coast of Chiba Prefecture, Katsuura extends over 94 square kilometers of mountainous terrain bordered by the Pacific Ocean.
The area, under Tokugawa shogunate control during the Edo period, transformed from a village in 1889 to a town in 1890 and achieved city status in 1958.
The Tomisaki Shrine displays 1800 Hina dolls during the Big Hinamatsuri celebration from late February to early March, representing prayers for children's happiness.
The morning market, operating daily except Wednesdays, provides fresh seafood, local produce, and traditional goods directly from fishermen and regional vendors.
The Port of Katsuura ranks second in fishing catch volume within Chiba Prefecture, specializing in skipjack tuna and kinmedai red snapper distribution.
