Chiba Prefecture’s appeal is wide-ranging, including nature, tourism, food, and industry.
Despite being close to Tokyo, it is rich in nature, including the sea, mountains, and
satoyama (secondary forest), making it a popular leisure and relocation destination. It also
has a wide range of tourist facilities, including large theme parks and outlet malls. For more

Here, I will introduce the area around Kain Tulog.
Chiba Park
A place of relaxation for Chiba citizens. You can ride a boat on the pond. Would you like to
jog with me? The cherry blossoms are beautiful in spring. Lotus flower in June. There is a bakery “Bread, Espresso &”. I recommend “Mou” cube-shaped bread.
Natural Hot Spring
Raranoyu is 30 minutes away from Kain Tulog. Take the suspended monorail listed in the Guinness World Records. The natural hot spring is an open-air bath. There are many different kinds of baths and sauna. Raranoyu also has a restaurant and massage.
Chiba Shrine
One of Chiba’s most famous shrines. It is said to bring benefits, including matchmaking, easy delivery, traffic safety, passing exams, and business prosperity. Many Japanese visit shrines on New Year’s Day and Shichi-Go-San for the healthy growth of children.
Fishing in Tokyo Bay
You can go fishing in Tokyo Bay. The target fish are horse mackerel, mackerel, hairtail, sillago, Spanish mackerel, octopus, etc. The boat house will provide you with the equipment and bait. There is a toilet on the boat. The cost is about 10,000 yen. Take the first JR train in the morning from Chiba to Funabashi. You will take home the fish you caught and cook them by yourself. It will be a great experience.
Izakaya
If you are visiting Japan, eat, drink, and have fun at a Japanese style izakaya are a must-do experience. Izakaya are popular places for socializing, often frequented by groups of friends and co-workers after work. The photo is “You Rou No Taki” historic izakaya dating back to 1938.
Convenience Store
The nearest store is 7-Eleven. It’s open 24 hours. There is a Lawson between JR Chiba
Station and Kain Tulog. They have a wide selection of products. There is also an ATM.
100-Yen Shop
There is a DAISO near Kain Tulog. It’s cheap but the quality is not bad. It’s stupid to buy the
same thing at a high price, so go to DAISO first.
Ramen Shop
Gan Gan Bouzu is a 2-minute walk from Kain Tulog. It is a ramen shop that is always crowded. They offer rich and mellow tonkotsu ramen, dried sardine ramen, green onion ramen, Japanese-style tsukemen, and more. You can ask one free refill. Takana, leaf mustard, is a free topping. If you wake up early, you can enjoy morning ramen (8:00-10:00).
Due to space restrictions, I have only introduced eight places, but there are other
recommendations. I will be happy to provide information, so please feel free to ask.
