Chiba Walking Tour: Shrine, Art Museum & Japanese Homestyle Lunch
Hello! I'm Grace, your local guide and Chiba resident for over 18 years. I love the hidden charms of Chiba City and love to share them with you! We start at Chiba Shrine, a 1,000-year-old sanctuary dedicated to the divine spirit of the North Star. Next, we visit the Chiba City Museum of Art, a century-old Neo-Renaissance building featuring works by local artists. We then head to Chiba Castle (Inohana Castle). Built by the Chiba clan in the 12th century, it now houses a history museum with a panoramic city view — great for photos! We finish with a homestyle Japanese lunch at Kadoya — Tonkatsu or Chicken. I started guiding to share the meaningful experiences I've had traveling the world. Join me for an unforgettable Chiba adventure!
