Finally

What did you think. I explained Chiba Kita, which is easily accessible from central Tokyo and is blessed with stable and good waves throughout the year. I hope you learned why it is so popular not only with neighboring prefectures but also with surfers all over the country. Moreover, compared to Shonan, which is also famous as one of the best surf spots in the Kanto region, the sea in Chiba is less crowded. If there is less congestion, even beginners can easily practice at their own pace ♪

For those visiting by car, we recommend the Taito area, which is fully equipped with parking lots and other facilities. By the way, at the southernmost tip of the Minamiboso area, there is a famous surfing point "Chikura". It has the characteristic that it becomes shallow at a stretch from deep offshore and the waves are fast. As the size increases, it transforms into a tubey wave, so if you improve, please go to Chikura!
