Chosei District

Chosei District spans from the Boso Hill Range inland down to Kujukuri Beach along the Pacific coast, covering six municipalities. The area combines rural towns with natural coastal features.

The district was established in 1889 when two earlier districts were merged together, starting with three towns and seventeen villages. Its administrative structure has since evolved through various reforms.

The communities within this district celebrate traditional festivals and markets where you can find local farm products, handmade goods, and seasonal events throughout the year. These gatherings reflect how residents connect with their rural surroundings and keep their customs alive.

The Sotobo railway line and Kujukuri Toll Road connect this area to larger cities, making travel around the region straightforward. Spring and autumn offer pleasant conditions for exploring the towns and countryside.

Natural gas and iodine are extracted from the Minami Kanto gas field beneath the district, an industrial activity most visitors never notice. This hidden resource extraction has shaped the region's economy for generations.
