A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
鋸南町
On the western Boso Peninsula, Kyonan offers mountain and coastal settings and a repurposed school. Choose Nihonji or Hota to suit your ability, planning separate transport to inland Sakuma Dam Park.
This guide covers places within Kyonan, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.
01A first-visit stop
日本寺
The temple area on the mountain’s southern side has stone-carved Buddhist figures and mountain scenery. The mountain also spans Futtsu; this guide covers Nihonji on the Kyonan side. The photo shows its entrance in 2023. Check steps, admission and current access.
Getting there
Check the Nihonji-side entrance and currently open routes
02A first-visit stop
道の駅保田小学校
A former elementary school repurposed as a visitor and community facility. It is a roadside station with information and shops, rather than an operating classroom site. The photo shows its exterior in 2024; check individual shop arrangements.
Getting there
Check transport to the facility in Hota
A first-visit stop
佐久間ダム公園
Walking areas surround an agricultural reservoir in Kyonan’s hills, with seasonal cherry blossoms and narcissus. This is distinct from the same-named dam in Shizuoka. Follow marked waterside paths.
Getting there
Check separate transport to the park in Kyonan’s Okuzure area
02 · A LITTLE BITE
Chiba’s official tourism guide describes namero as a Boso dish of finely chopped fish, miso and aromatics. When choosing seafood in Kyonan, ask about ingredients, preparation and current availability.
