Tateyama Onsen Chiba

Tateyama, at the southern tip of the Boso Peninsula in Chiba Prefecture where Tokyo Bay meets the Pacific Ocean, is the terminus of both the Uchibo and Sotobo coast railway lines and a significant port city whose strategic position at the mouth of Tokyo Bay has given it a long and important maritime heritage since the Edo period. Tateyama Onsen Chiba provides chloride-rich coastal thermal waters from the marine geological formations of the Boso Peninsula tip, offering warming maritime baths in a city that combines fishing and maritime trade heritage with the natural beauty of the dramatic cape coastlines where bay and Pacific converge. The famous Tateyama Bay views of Mount Fuji on clear winter days, the Tateyama Castle ruins above the city, and the flower sea of Nokogiriyama's sculpted hilltop above the bay make Tateyama a rewarding coastal thermal destination at the very tip of Chiba's Boso Peninsula.
