The Boso Peninsula in autumn is a perfect driving spot where you can enjoy the pleasant breeze and beautiful autumn leaves. It’s easy to access from the city center, and its big appeal is that you can easily refresh yourself on a day trip. This time, we will introduce a particularly recommended autumn Boso drive course.

First, head towards Kisarazu via the Tokyo Bay Aqua Line. After enjoying the panoramic view of Tokyo Bay at Umihotaru PA, head south to Cape Futtsu. In the clear autumn air, the view from the cape that juts out into Tokyo Bay is exceptional. The view from the observation tower is sure to look great on social media.

Next, head inland to Yoro Valley. This place is known as one of the best spots for autumn leaves in Chiba Prefecture. The best time to see it is usually from late November to early December, and you can take a stroll along the promenade along the valley and be soothed by the changing colors of the trees and the murmuring of the river. The area around Awamata Falls is especially popular, and you can enjoy the spectacular scenery unique to autumn.

Enjoy fresh local seafood for lunch. The Boso Peninsula is a treasure trove of seafood. We recommend eating a seafood bowl made with local fish caught that day or the famous fried horse mackerel at a restaurant near the fishing port. Autumn has a lot of fatty fish, which is perfect for satisfying your autumn appetite.

In the afternoon, head south along the coastline toward Tateyama. Along the way, why not end your drive by watching the beautiful sunset over the sea at places such as Hojo Coast, which has been selected as one of the 100 best sunsets? The Boso Peninsula in autumn is full of driving courses that will leave you satisfied with both the scenery and the food. Please use this as a reference for your weekend outings.
