Beschrijving
Private day tour from Tokyo to Choshi, Chiba: a ride on the two-carriage Choshi Electric Railway, Japan's first sunrise at Cape Inubo, and a soy sauce factory tour.
Choshi sits at the easternmost tip of the Tokyo region, where Japan's day is said to begin, and this private full-day tour from Tokyo reaches it by a small retro railway that the town itself keeps running by selling rice crackers at every stop. Private, per-group, up to six guests.
We leave Tokyo around 07:30 for the roughly two-hour drive to Choshi. The day's first stop is a ride on the Choshi Electric Railway, a two-carriage line that famously stays in business partly on senbei cracker sales, rattling through cabbage fields to the coast. From the railway we walk to Inubosaki Lighthouse, marking Cape Inubo, one of the points in Japan associated with the first sunrise of the day; you can climb the tower for a view over the Pacific in one direction and the fishing port in the other. After the lighthouse we visit the Yamasa soy sauce works, one of the breweries that made Choshi's name, for a self-guided walk through the production hall with your driver-guide explaining the brewing process as you go. Lunch is at your own choice at the Choshi fish market, known for fresh catch straight off the boats.
The railway ride and lighthouse entry are included in your price, along with the van, driver-guide, fuel and water. The fish market lunch and any soy sauce you buy to take home are your own cost. The Yamasa factory tour depends on a reservation slot for your visit date, which we arrange in advance.
This suits travellers who like small, slightly eccentric rail lines and coastal scenery, and anyone wanting a taste of an authentic Japanese fishing town rather than a resort coast.
If any included stop, ticket or activity cannot run on your date because of weather, closure or availability, you can take a full refund of your booking, guaranteed; an equivalent alternative is offered only if you prefer it.

BELANGRIJKE INFORMATIE
Pickup is around 07:30, back in Tokyo by early evening, about 10 hours door to door. Walking includes lighthouse stairs, so wear closed shoes; the coast can be windy year-round, so bring a layer even in summer. This runs year-round. The soy sauce factory tour needs a reservation slot, which we book ahead of your date; if the slot is unavailable we substitute extra time at the market and lighthouse and your price does not change. If an included stop cannot run because of weather, closure or availability, you get a full refund, guaranteed; an alternative is offered only if you prefer it. We will send your pickup time and meeting details before the tour
