Areas
Kujukuri and Sotobo Coast
Kujukuri and the Sotobo coast form one practical fishing area along Chiba's open Pacific side. Seasonal inshore fish and bottom species provide varied targets from beaches, ports and rocky ground, but swell and currents require care. Access restrictions vary, so check current local signs and rules before fishing.
