Futtsu City facing Tokyo Bay and the west coast of the Boso Peninsula are known as prime locations from which to view beautiful sunsets. The sunset over the ocean takes on a different look every day depending on the season and weather, and it soothes the hearts of those who see it. This time, we would like to introduce you to some spots with breathtakingly beautiful sunsets that are recommended by locals.

One of the most popular spots is Cape Futtsu. From the Meiji Centenary Observation Tower at the tip of the cape, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of Tokyo Bay, and at dusk you can enjoy the fantastic gradation of the sky and sea dyed in madder red. On days when the weather is nice and the air is clear, the silhouette of Mt. Fuji stands out clearly beyond the setting sun, creating a spectacular view that looks like a painting.

The next recommended area is around Kanaya Port, located slightly south of Cape Futtsu. There is a ferry pier and a seaside cafe where you can relax and watch the sunset while drinking coffee. In particular, the area around the seaside commercial facility ``The Fish’’ has a beautiful contrast between the passing boats and the orange sky, creating a romantic atmosphere.

If you head further south toward Tateyama, the Hojo Coast is also famous as a sunset spot. It has been selected as one of Japan’s top 100 sunsets, and the coastline lined with palm trees gives it the feel of a tropical resort. Walking along the shore and watching the sun set quietly into the sea is a special moment that will make you forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The 30 minutes before and after sunset is a magic hour when the color of the sky changes every moment. In order to see the beautiful sunset view, we recommend arriving at the spot a little early and taking your time to enjoy the changing colors of the sky.
