Chiba Prefecture, encompassing the warm Boso Peninsula, is a haven for Pacific seafood and the historical culinary heritage of Naritasan. This model course begins with thick, crispy "Gold Horse Mackerel" and traditional herb-infused minced fish "Namerou". Climb Mount Nokogiri to peer over the steep cliff edges of "Hell's Lookout", then check into the ultra-luxury ryokan "Kamogawakan" in Kamogawa. Dinner showcases premium spiny lobster and seasonal Boso delicacies. The next day, enjoy energetic killer whale shows and conclude with historic grilled eel in Narita.

Day 1: The Ultimate Crispy Gold Horse Mackerel and a Scenic Spa Resort

Begin at Chiba Station. Drive south along Tokyo Bay to "Kanaya" in Futtsu to savor legendary "Gold Horse Mackerel". Unlike migratory fish, these harbor-dwelling mackerel are exceptionally thick and tender, served as fluffy pan-fried cutlets alongside authentic seaweed-minced raw fish. Afterward, take a cable car up the dramatic "Mount Nokogiri". Walk out onto "Hell's Lookout"—a thrilling rocky ledge jutting out over a 100-meter sheer drop with panoramic views of Tokyo Bay.

In the afternoon, check into "Kamogawakan", an elite hot spring resort facing the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy their sky-view infinity foot bath filled with therapeutic hot spring water. For dinner, indulge in a private room to feast on their flagship "南房総プレミアム磯会席" (Premium Boso Coast Banquet), highlighting exceptionally sweet "Spiny Lobster sashimi", local red snapper, and tender Hitachi beef steak.

Day 2: Dynamic Orca Shows and the Famous Naritasan Pilgrimage Grilled Eel

On the second morning, explore the world-renowned "Kamogawa Seaworld". Witness their magnificent, high-energy killer whale performances where giant orcas leap gracefully, splashing the cheering audience in a beautiful beachfront stadium.

Afterward, take a pleasant drive to Narita City to visit the grand "Naritasan Shinshoji Temple". For lunch, visit "Surugaya" standing along the historic lantern-lit approach since the Edo period. Feast on elite "Narita Unagi"—freshly prepared eels grilled masterfully over premium Bincho charcoal, glazed in a sweet soy recipe that yields a deeply aromatic taste. Return to Chiba Station.
