[2025 Choshi Attraction] Travel Guide for Inubōsaki (Updated May)

Transportation: Take the JR Narita Line/Sobu Main Line to Choshi, transfer to Choshi Electric Railway, and walk about 7 minutes from Kujigahama Station. Visit Time: Late April 2025 After exiting Kujigahama Station, follow Google Maps to navigate through quiet countryside roads. In about 7 minutes, you'll be greeted by the stunning coastline. Previously, I saw recommendations for photographing the Inubosaki Lighthouse from Kujigahama Shiosai Park, and after visiting, I can confirm it's a great spot! The expansive ocean connects seamlessly with the prominent cape, where the pristine white lighthouse stands. On sunny days, sitting by the seaside, enjoying the sea breeze and the sound of waves, is incredibly relaxing. For slow travelers, this is a spot that invites you to pause and unwind. The paths in Shiosai Park are easy to walk, and if you want to get closer to the water, there’s a gentle sandy beach area with stairs leading down to the shore. However, April might still be a bit chilly—I only saw one person collecting seaweed on the beach. From Shiosai Park, it’s about a 10-minute leisurely walk to Inubosaki Lighthouse. You’ll need to climb a set of stairs to reach the cape where the lighthouse is located, but the stairs are not steep and are quite manageable. Note that there are no food vendors in the park, so it’s best to eat beforehand or dine at the souvenir center near the lighthouse. The seaside can be windy, making it feel colder, but sunny days can still be quite warm due to the lack of shade. Be sure to dress warmly while also taking precautions against sun exposure.

Located in Choshi, Chiba, Inubosaki is an interesting place that juts out into the Pacific Ocean.

#100TravelStyle If you take the Choshi Electric Railway from Choshi, the station before the last stop, Tonokawa, is Inubo. Before you arrive at the station, you hear an announcement from MoeAzu, and then you arrive. The station name includes the sponsor's name. Chiba-kun will greet you inside the station (lol) You can also walk to the lighthouse in just under 10 minutes. There's also a hot spring, so why not spend the weekend there? #Inubosaki

Very relaxing area. I've been here three times this year. You can take a walk or sit by the shore. I think pets are allowed as well. It's ¥200-300 yen to go on the lighthouse to view. You have to go up narrow stairs, and to see the magical view on top of the lighthouse. This is lighthouse at Cape Inubozaki is enchanting- it is a national heritage structure and the museum has all details on the operational part of the lighthouse since the beginning of the; views from the top of the lighthouse is mind blowing- you get a 360 degree view of the Pacific Ocean and also boasts of the first sunrise. It was fun for me. No time limit after you first enter.

This is not "Iwashita's Shinshoga Station," but the station sign for Choshi Electric Railway's Inubo Station. This is due to the "Chodenn Naming Rights" system, which allows individuals and groups that invest in Choden to obtain the right to name "secondary station names," and one of the secondary station names is "Wataya Iwao (Umikajima Station), which is clearly the name of an individual (one of the main shareholders). There is also a shop inside Inubo Station, which sells Choshi Electric Railway-style wet rice crackers, flight tags, key chains, local sake, and more. Am I the only one who can't help but reach for these things when I learn about the history of the Choshi Electric Railway? #Me and Travel
