Insider tip — Nagara-machi Fukushi Center serves this small Chiba interior town in the gentle uplands above the Kujukuri coastal plain, where the Sashima and Ichinomiya rivers drain the Musashino loam plateau. The welfare centre spring provides thermal comfort to a quiet agricultural community known for rice cultivation and the traditional craft of bamboo basket weaving that has survived in this inland Chiba valley for centuries.
