    Day Trip out of Tokyo: Experience the beach
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Tokyo Day Trip out of Tokyo
  • lovely clean air and golden sand

  • It is located about 2 and a bit hours out of tokyo . The beach is called Onjuku beach ( I am pretty sure ) mayb could b honjuku , but first go with on. Anyway it is in the Chiba prefecture.

    The little town you walk through to get to it , is quite cute , kind of reminds me of rodeo drive or a very LA feeling , especially when a Hummer drove through. Anyway warnign stock up on any beverages at the supermarkets in town and also use the toilets. The beach ones are disgusting .

    It is quite difficult to find a place to sit when you get there. The beach is packed. Also I think that is quite a beach for locals. I swear we were the only foreign bunch . But it is good to just sit there and watch everyone. So diffireent to beaches in AUS .

    Don't expect so much out of clean waters and golden sands though, it isn't that clean. But hey when it is 35 deg C , you need to do what you need to do.

    So if you are looking for a place to swim and hang out with friends. I recommend here

     Hello Lavina! Nice little page on Tokyo. Lately I've become more and more interested in Japan and might even travel there one day. You share your birthday with my son who is also 21 today. Happy birthday from Finland!
