Yabusame (traditional Japanese mounted archery) at Kippo Hachiman Shrine in Kamogawa City

Date: Sunday, September 27th, 2023, around 3:30 PM
Location: Nakano, Kamogawa City, Chiba Prefecture
Parking is available at Nagasa Gakuen and Kokuhobyo Hospital. Expect congestion, so please arrive with plenty of time to spare.

The "Yabusame of Kippo Hachiman" is held annually on the last Sunday of September as part of the festival of Hachiman Shrine in the Kippō district, conducted in a traditional manner as a sacred ritual. According to shrine tradition, it dates back to the mid-Kamakura period. Riders gallop along a 210-meter course and shoot arrows at three targets, repeating this three times.

A notable feature is the distance to the targets. The primary purpose of the event is to pray for a bountiful harvest and to predict the success or failure of crops. It is believed that the omens from the heavens (divine messages) are conveyed not just by hitting the target but also by the outcome of the arrows, making misses significant as well. The archers (negi) are required to purify themselves through a week of ascetic practices.

Starting from September 1st, the Kyonan Town Tourism Association is participating in the JR Thank You Chiba Free Pass.

This free pass offers unlimited rides in the free area within Chiba Prefecture for two days, making it a very cost-effective ticket. 🎫

Those who present this free pass will receive free bicycle rentals 🚲 from the tourist information centers located at Hota Station and Awakatsuyama Station.

It's a great opportunity to discover hidden gems in Chiba Prefecture. We encourage everyone to take advantage of it!

A pear PR event will be held at KamaSta!
The first 1,000 visitors will receive delicious 🍐 Kamagaya pears 🍐 as a gift!

At the exhibition booth in front of the stadium, we also plan to sell pears and more✨
Join us for a special day where you can enjoy both Kamagaya pears and KamaSta.

【Date】Saturday, August 22

The view from the terrace at Futtsu Kanaya "the fish" in the Inner Boso
A midsummer blue sky, white summer clouds, and the shimmering sea
Fishing boats moving through this scenery—how's the catch?
It felt like a scene from a summer vacation sketchbook.

This is a shot taken just before dawn in Minamiboso City, Chiba Prefecture.
The spray from the waves enveloped the port town in thick fog.
The ethereal atmosphere was wonderful.

Kyonan Town announced the blooming of the Yoritomo cherry on January 20. Having received Kawazu cherry trees from Kawazu Town, Kyonan Town calls them "Yoritomo cherry" in honor of the historical episode in which Minamoto no Yoritomo, defeated in battle, is said to have landed at Ryugashima Coast and planned his comeback.

You can enjoy daffodils well into this month, so you can admire daffodils and Kawazu cherry blossoms together.


From Saturday, February 7, the Hotagawa River–Yoritomo Cherry Village Development Committee will place bamboo lanterns along the Daffodil Lane at Sakuma Dam Park and illuminate them at night.

The floral relay continues, so everyone, please come and visit.

I thought the autumn leaves were already over in mid-December, but when I went shopping in Chiba on the Boso peninsula, I stopped by a water mill while exploring the sights and found a beautiful display of autumn leaves. There was no parking lot, and the water mill caught my eye. The maple leaves were a vivid red, and the fallen leaves were beautiful too, so I enjoyed the last bit of autumn this year.

Behind the castle stood Mt. Fuji 🗻, and above it hung Yuzuki 🌕.
I savored late autumn with the crimson sunset and moon-viewing.
