Mount Fuji from Chiba Prefecture / What to do in wheelchair

Chiba Prefecture on the Boso Peninsula, where Mt. Fuji can be seen across Tokyo Bay, has been selected as one of the 100 best places to see Mt. Fuji in the Kanto region. Mt. Fuji can be seen from Chiba Prefecture without any buildings or other obstacles in the foreground. You can see Mt. Fuji floating in Tokyo Bay from all over the area. Furthermore, to the north of the Uraga Strait, the foot of Mt. Fuji is hidden by mountains such as Tanzawa, but in the Minami Boso area you can see the large Mt. Fuji including its foot.
redlineCome to Minami Boso in Chiba Prefecture to see Mt. Fuji floating in the Pacific Ocean, which rivals the majestic Mt. Fuji from its foot. As you travel south along the Uchibo area, you may feel a strange sensation that "while you are getting further and further away from Tokyo on the land route, the distance to Mt. Fuji is getting shorter."
From the Minami Boso area you can see Mount Fuji across the sea and enjoy the mountain rising against the sunset-tinted sky.The subjects of the collaboration include Tokyo Bay (boats, Umihotaru, Aqua-Line, etc.), the moon (Diamond Fuji and Pearl Fuji), shrines, castles, high-rise buildings (skyscrapers, Tokyo Skytree, Chiba Port Tower, etc.), and illuminations, making this a one-shot that can only be taken in Chiba Prefecture.
If you are in a location with a view of Mount Fuji and the weather is good, you have a chance to see Diamond Fuji for a few minutes twice a year, from the winter solstice to the summer solstice (May) and from the summer solstice to the winter solstice (December).
