Kujigahama Shiosai Park: A Scenic Spot to View the Lighthouse

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.
