Naritasan Shinshoji Temple
It was built in year of 940 (there are some theories saying different year though). It’s close to Narita Airport (NRT) so many people visit here on their spare time during their transit.
The largest number of people come visit this temple in a year in Japan. On Setsubun, they have an event called “Setsubune” which Kabuki actor Ebizo Ichikawa, Sumo wrestlers, other celebrities throw beans.
Tokyo German Village
It’s a German-village theme park in Sodegaura, Chiba. I know that you might be wondering why “Tokyo” again, and i have no idea. lol

This is a famous beach in Chiba, also popular for surfers! A lot of people come enjoy on the beach, swim, marine activities, etc. Kujukuri Beach is actually very big, and it’s divided into some areas. Some have a facility like shower. You can also do fishing at some places.
Mt. Nokogiri
Mt. Nokogiri is famous for hiking and sightseeing. There are a spot where you can look down from the cliff called “Jigoku nozoki”, a huge statue of Buddha, temple, etc. You can go for a hike as day trip from Tokyo!
I personally did not go to Chiba often before, however there are a lot of attractive things to do and see! The best part is you can easily access from Tokyo, which is perfect going as a day trip or weekend getaway!
