Uchibou

Japanese: 内房 - うちぼう

This coast faces the Uraga Strait in southwestern Chiba Prefecture. It stretches from Cape Isone at the base of Cape Futtsu to Cape Sunosaki in Tateyama City. The alternating sandy and rocky coasts create a beautiful natural landscape. The JR Uchibo Line and National Route 127 run along the coast, and the Tateyama Expressway and the Futtsu-Tateyama Road are located inland. It is connected to the Miura Peninsula on the opposite shore of the Uraga Strait by ferry, making transportation convenient. Since the Showa era, swimming beaches have been opened in various places, and there are many guesthouses. Almost the entire coastline, including the tourist spots of Mt. Nokogiri and Cape Daibusa, belongs to Minamiboso Quasi-National Park. Flower cultivation is thriving, and loquats are a specialty of Minamiboso City.

Nokogiriyama Ropeway
It connects the northern foothills of Mt. Nokogiri, towering over Tokyo Bay, to the summit. The photo shows Kanaya Port in Futtsu City as seen from inside the gondola. Mt. Nokogiri, which belongs to the Minami-Boso Quasi-National Park, is known as a scenic spot for its oddly shaped rocks and stones, and at the summit there is an observation deck jutting out from the cliff called "Hell's View."

千葉県南西部の浦賀水道に面する海岸。富津岬(ふっつみさき)付け根の磯根(いそね)崎から館山(たてやま)市の洲崎(すのさき)に至る。砂浜海岸と岩石海岸が交互に続き、美しい自然景観をなす。海岸沿いにJR内房線と国道127号が走り、その内陸側に館山自動車道、富津館山道路の自動車専用道が通じている。浦賀(うらが)水道を挟み対岸の三浦半島とフェリーで結ばれ交通も便利。昭和に入って各地に海水浴場が開かれ、民宿が多い。鋸山(のこぎりやま)や大房(だいぶさ)岬の観光地を含め海岸線のほぼ全域が南房総国定公園(みなみぼうそうこくていこうえん)に属す。花の栽培が盛んで、ビワは南房総市の特産。
