I took my son to seaworld as a kindergarten graduation trip last spring and we had a wonderful time! The park is perhaps not as spectacualar as San Dieago Seaworld, so do not expect quite the scale and showmanship of the Seaworld Parks in the USA, but it is not nearly as costly to go to this park for admission fee. The seaview was and extra bonus as Kamogawa has a nice, large beach along the pacific with a great panaramic view from Seaworld. We were plenty impressed with the shows, but even more impressed with the aquarium indoors! A great collection of sea life on display inside as well as outside. The cafeteria was afforable and had some nice children's sets. I recommend going on a weekday if you can and enjoy the time at seaworld without crowds. It makes a nice day trip from Tokyo by bus and even the experience of the bus ride going out to Kamogawa via aqualine was an enjoyable experience.

This is the Buddhist temple of the Nichiren sect built in the place where Nichiren was born. This is a sacred place located in Kominato, in Southern Chiba, facing the Pacific Ocean. Nichiren was born in 1222. His father was Nukina Jiro Shigetada, and his mother was Umegiku. On the occasion of Nichiren's birth, legend has it that lotus flowers bloomed on the seashore, a large number of red snapper gathered, and spring water gushed out into the yard of the house. These places are now preserved as Renge-ga-fuchi, Tae-no-ura, and Tanjo-ido. The entrance gate is particularly grand. There are gift shops adjacent to the temple where you can purchase local delicacies mostly fish products.

Tainoura is the sea in front of Amatsu-Kominato, a part of Kamogawa City since 2005. Fishing is banned in Tainoura. Amatsu-Kominato is where the founder of the Buddhist Nichiren sect was born. Legend says thyat when Nichiren was born breams danced in the sea, and ever since the local fishermen gave up fishing in the area. The sea bottom is only ten to twenty meters deep and it is uncommon for breams which tend to live in deeper waters to habituate in such shallow water. This was the first time to explore in detail including a cruise. It's quite a spectacle to see breams grouping as well as the small Islands and the shoreline.

About thirty minutes' drive inland from Amatsu-Kominato brings you to this sacred temple of the Nichiren Buddhist sect founded by Nichiren. It is located on Mount Kiyosumi which rises to about three hundred fifty meters above sea level. It is set beautifully in the mountain forest. One can understand why Nichiren developed his teaching here.You should also take a walk up to the top of the mountain. This is a popular place to greet the first sunrise of the year.

It needs some uphill work to the top.
But all effort is well paid off with the Panorama view of Kamogawa of the mountain and ocean.
There are love padlocks left at fences as a symbol of love and commitment.
Some couples come to the shinto shrine famous praying for love.

私は泳げないので、海水浴に来たわけではありませんが、大変広く、水の綺麗な海水浴場でした。私の住んでいる神奈川県にも海水浴場は沢山ありますが、狭かったり、水質が今一つだったりで、こんなに素晴らしい海水浴場は初めてといっても過言ではありません。外房ということで波は多少荒めで、泳ぐには注意は要りますが、サーフィンには持って来いだと思います。広いため、他の人を気にせず楽しめるメリットもあります。今年はあと1週間ほどで海の家はおしまいですが、一度行ってみる価値は十分あると思います。

本州との距離は200メートル。多分、本州にいちばん近い有人島です。個人所有ですが、観光可能で、手漕ぎの渡し船が出ています。島主１戸だけの居住です。電線がつながっていて、それもそうだなと納得する一方で、橋をつければ、便利なのになーと思うのでした。

農産物（野菜や果物、米）や植木、花が販売されているエリアとお菓子などのお土産品の販売と食堂エリアがあり、それなりに楽しめると思いますが、今時の綺麗な雰囲気の道の駅のような施設ではありませんので、めちゃくちゃ期待して行くと「あれ？」と思うかもしれません。個人的にはこちらの木工品（地元のかたが小さな椅子やテーブルとか作って販売されています）がお気に入りで、施設の外エリアに色々な動物を木で彫ったチェーンソーアートも面白くて好きです。
あと、エアプランツも販売されていて、少しだけ安いかも・・・！
大きめの物も販売されていますが、時期によってはぼろぼろだったりしますのでご注意を。
近くに、カステラの専門店と手作り豆腐のお店もあります。

源頼朝が戦いに敗れ安房に逃れたときに、源氏の再興を伊勢の大廟に祈願し後に成就したことで、伊勢より神霊をここに移してお祀りした、という由緒ある神社です。参道を通り社殿の前まで進むと、おごそかな雰囲気がひしひしと伝わってきて、神妙な気持ちでお参りしました。境内には亜熱帯の樹木である「まるばちしゃの木」があり南房総らしい雰囲気も漂う神社でした。
