    Chiba Pref. Katorishi Katori 1697-1
    Katori Jingu shrine is located in the Katori district of Katori City. It is the Grand Head Shrine of all the Katori shrines in Japan, of which there are around 400. The shrine is dedicated to the worship of Futsunushi-no-okami, a deity who appears in the Japanese legend “Izumo no Kuniyuzuri.” The Main Hall and the Rou-mon (two-storied gate), which were built in 1700, have both been designated as national Important Cultural Properties.

    Katori Jingu Shrine is amazing! I found out about this place through Katoris official English Facebook page, Little Edo Sawara. They talk about the history of the shrine and have amazing pictures...

    This shrine is located in Narita City, Chiba Prefecture. The over 1,300-year old large Japanese cedar tree on the grounds is said to be the biggest in eastern Japan, and has now become popular as a power spot. Besides the Setsubun Festival and Otaue Festival (rice-planting festival) held in February and April, there is also an annual festival praying for bountiful harvests and to ward off evil on the last Sunday of July.

    Chiba Sakura-shi Kaburagimachi 933-1

    Makata jinja is a nice old shrine. Very popular spot for local hatsumode (first shrine visit of the year). You can buy fortune amulets (omamori) from the shop also. In the back, there is a big tree...

    Chiba Katori-shi Sawarai 1020

    佐原の大祭とは東の八坂神社の夏祭りと西の諏訪神社の秋祭りの総称だそうで、その意味では佐原を代表する二つの神社の一つだ。伝統的な街並みから少し離れているので、佐原駅へ戻る時に迂回する感じになる。かなりの急階段を登るので、覚悟が必要。

    Chiba Narita-shi Nagoya 898

    ここの参道は舗装されておらず、土がむきだしで、所々に木の根っこなどが出ていました。周囲は高い木々。空気が新鮮で歩いていて気持ち良かったです。

    Chiba Katori-gun Kozakimachi Kozakihonshuku 1944

    日本酒の蔵元「寺田本家」を訪問したついでに来ました。 なんじゃもんじゃの木(クスノキ)の大きくて、この日は真夏日でしたが涼しげでした。駐車場への入口は狭いので対向車がいると通れませんが、交通量は少ないので、万が一の場合でも少し待てば大丈夫です。細い入り口を抜けるとすぐにトイレと中さy場がありますが、平日なら一気に上(境内わき)の駐車場まで登っても大丈夫みたいです。下の駐車場から歩いても、数分で境内...

    Chiba Tomisato-shi Takamatsu 101

    静かに厳かな神社です。由緒など詳しいことは判りませんがなんとなくひきつけられるものがあって通ってしまいます。6月と12月には茅の輪くぐりというのがあってそこでいただくお守りを半年間飾るのが私の習わしです。

    Chiba Sakura Hachimandai 2-1-1

    春に訪れる際は、住宅街の中にある桜が駐車場へ入る細道の目印です。 このあたりの総鎮守ですが、ひっそりと佇んでいます。木々に集う鳥たちが遊んでいました。 御朱印は拝殿に向かって左に建つ社務所でいただけます。

    Chiba Sakura-shi Nakashizu 4-chome 16-27

    Quiet spot between houses. A bit far from stations (about 20 min walk from both Shizu or Yuukarigaoka stations). Easiest way to get here is by own car or a bus towards Minami Nakano from Shizu...

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.
