Kyonan-town Tourism Association
Feb. 28, 2024
Nice to meet you! This is the Kyonan Town Tourism Association. Kyonan Town in Awa County, at the southern tip of the Boso Peninsula in Chiba Prefecture, is a town rich in nature that continues to charm visitors. With a population of about 6,300 people (as of 2024), the town blends history and natural beauty. Thanks to the Tokyo Bay Aqua-line and the Higashi-Kanto Expressway Tateyama Line, you can reach Kyonan from central Tokyo by car in about 80 minutes, making it easy to enjoy a full day trip. On this Cool Japan Video account, we will introduce sightseeing spots and recommended information about Kyonan Town in Chiba Prefecture. We appreciate your support. ◆History of Kyonan Town, Chiba Prefecture◆ Kyonan Town was formed in 1959 by the merger of Katsuyama Town and Hota Town. The town’s name comes from its location south of Mount Nokogiri, hence Kyonan Town. ◆Sightseeing spots in Kyonan Town, Chiba Prefecture◆ ◇Mount Nokogiri Designated a scenic spot by Chiba Prefecture, Mount Nokogiri is Kyonan’s signature attraction. Its cliffs form a serrated ridge that resembles a saw, as the name suggests. From near the summit, a ropeway ride of about three minutes offers panoramic views of Mount Fuji, the Miura Peninsula, and the Izu Peninsula across Tokyo Bay. Highlights include the nokogiriyama Nihonji Big Buddha, One Thousand Five Hundred Arhats, and Nihonji Temple. ◇Hishikawa Shisenobu Memorial Hall Opened in 1985, the Hishikawa Shisenobu Memorial Hall exhibits works by the Edo-period ukiyo-e artist Hishikawa Shisenobu. Through his detailed works, visitors can appreciate the depth of Japanese art and culture. ◇Sakuma Dam Lake Lakeside Park A 2.4-kilometer promenade around the dam is planted with about 2,200 cherry trees, including Yoritomo cherry blossoms, Yae cherry blossoms, and Someiyoshino, making it one of the Boso Peninsula’s top cherry-viewing spots. ◇Okuzure Suisenkyo About 60 million daffodil bulbs are cultivated along the hillsides and embankments. ◇Mount Daikoku Observatory A castle-shaped observatory crowns Mount Daikoku, overlooking Katsuyama Fishing Port below, and on clear days offers views of Mount Fuji and the Izu Peninsula. ◆Roadside Stations in Kyonan Town, Chiba Prefecture◆ ◇Roadside Station Hota Elementary School This rare roadside station was created by repurposing a closed elementary school. In addition to local product sales, it features a cafeteria serving nostalgic school lunch menus and lodging facilities. ◇Roadside Station Kyonan Facing Tokyo Bay, this roadside station is also popular as a sunset-viewing spot. It is adjacent to the Hishikawa Shisenobu Memorial Hall. ◆Events and festivals in Kyonan Town, Chiba Prefecture◆ ◇Daffodil Festival Kyonan is one of Japan’s three major daffodil habitats, and each year from early December the Daffodil Festival is held at Ezuki Narcissus Road, Sakuma Dam Park, and Okuzure Suisenkyo. You can enjoy the daffodils blooming proudly even in the winter cold, and the carpet of flowers creates an overwhelming spectacle. ◆Why visit Kyonan Town, Chiba Prefecture◆ Kyonan is known for the scenic Kawazu cherry blossoms (Yoritomo cherry blossoms), whose early blooms bring an early sign of spring. With a good selection of hotels and hot-spring facilities, you can relax after enjoying Kyonan’s great outdoors. Create unforgettable memories along this beautiful coastline! We will continue sharing recommended information about Kyonan Town, so please follow us.

With the mild weather, flowers are starting to bloom all over. - Kawazu-zakura along Shibutagawa River…starting to bloom - Kawazu-zakura at Maruyama Castle Park…in full bloom - Plum trees at the Sports Park…in full bloom - Plum trees at Hinata Yakushi…about half bloomed - Okame-zakura along Oyama Shinmichi…buds The forecast doesn’t look great this week, so I worry whether the flowers will hold out until the next sunny day, but let’s hope we can take photos under a blue sky!
