    Chiba Pref. Naritashi Hanazakichou 527
    This obanyaki treat specialty shop is on the approach to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. Their Amataro-yaki features their own thin, crispy crust and is packed with homemade bean paste. They sell adzuki an (red bean paste) and shiro-an (white bean paste) varieties, and they're a popular snack with visitors walking to and from the temple.

    This is the best red bean bun I have tried in Japan. The red/white bean filling is delicious, soft and sweet. The filling is very full; the bun is very fulfilling. It is of course best to eat it when...

    Chiba Pref. Katorishi Sawara I 569
    This monaka (sweet with red bean jam sandwiched between thin crisp wafers) shop is located along Prefectural Route 55 and was opened in 1927. It manufactures and sells various types of monaka filled with chunky or fine bean paste, white bean paste, yuzu-flavored bean paste using yuzu citrus harvested every year, bean paste using brown sugar or chestnuts. In addition, their bite-sized monaka are very popular even as gifts.

    ドライブがてら友人と、以前食べた事があるひと口最中を買いに行きました。道が狭い上に一方通行が多く、たどり着くまで大変でしたが、1個50円というお手頃価格で美味しい粒あんの最中が買え、行った甲斐がありました。最中は三色とも試食があり、カード決済も出来ます。

    Chiba Pref. Naritashi Kamichou 500
    This is a Japanese confectionery shop, founded in 1899, located on the Omotensando Road in Naritasan Shinsho-ji Temple. It is known as the shop that introduced chestnut yokan, sweet bean jelly, to Japan and the jelly was based on the vegetarian cuisine ‘chestnut soup’ of Naritasan Shinsho-ji Temple. The sweet bean jellies such as the Gokujo-oozao-youkan made by traditional methods, are famous and have been loved for many years as a souvenir of pilgrims to Naritasan. The Peanuts Monaka, a sweet using peanuts, a special product of Chiba, as well as standard Japanese sweets such as kintsuba and dorayaki, and seasonal sweets are also available.

    Ive noticed each time I went to this shop that the shop assistants were not friendly. They had only one kind of yokan (mushi-yokan) for tasting. It was nice to have a tiny piece with a cup of tea...

    Chiba Pref. Sakurashi Shinmachi 222-1
    About a 10-minute walk south from Keisei Sakura Station on the Keisei Line. This is the second location of Ginza Kimura, which began in 1882 and continues to maintain the traditions of Japanese confections. Each is made individually by hand. The “Zourokumochi” — red bean wafer cakes filled with mochi modeled as a tortoise shell—is a Sakura City classic. There is a rest area within the shop, so you can enjoy some sweets or tea on the spot.

    佐倉では有名な和菓子店です。店のつくりも歴史を感じさせます。ドライブで近くまで来るといつもお土産に買います。

    表参道の坂の途中にある手焼きせんべい店です。焼きたての大きな煎餅もありますが、食べ歩き用にフライドポテト感覚の紙容器に入ったものがあります。壊れた煎餅ではなく、味が染みやすい用にわざと割ったとか、ものは言い様だと思いました。

The Boso Peninsula forms the main body of Chiba prefecture, and this is where you’ll find its endless warm water beaches and jagged mountains. Further inland, Narita - most famous as the home of Narita Airport - is a secret haven of tradition and history in the form of centuries-old Shinshoji Temple and quaint wooden Edo buildings. Chiba prefecture is also home to both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea.
