Stroll Through Retro Fishing-Town Streets
About this spot
A fishing town with a history dating back to the Edo period, featuring retro charm with old wooden houses remaining in neatly gridded lanes. Close to Togawa Station, the final stop on the Choshi Electric Railway, the Showa-era atmosphere of shops and sloped streets evoke the town's port-town history. Unlike the grand scenery of Inubosaki Lighthouse and Byobujikaura, discover Choshi's charm rooted in everyday life.

Name: みこしパレード(銚子みなとまつり)
Date & time: 8/9 (Sun) Time TBA
Venue: 銚子市・銚港神社〜白幡神社〜銚子市役所
銚子の夏を彩る「銚子みなとまつり」の中でも大きな見どころとなる、みこしパレードです。2026年8月9日、銚港神社を出発した神輿が白幡神社を経て銚子市役所周辺まで練り歩き、威勢のよい掛け声とともに港町を活気づけます。関東最東端の港町ならではの熱気あふれる神輿渡御を、灯台や断崖、レトロな町並みをめぐった1日の締めくくりとして楽しめます。
Tips
パレードのルート周辺は交通規制が行われることがあるため、公共交通機関の利用がおすすめです。人出が多くなる時間帯もあるので、小さな子ども連れは手をつないで移動しましょう。夜は海からの風で肌寒くなることがあるので羽織ものがあると安心です。
Tips
The lanes are also residential streets, so please be respectful and quiet while strolling. There are many slopes, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Taking the Choshi Electric Railway adds a retro train journey to your experience.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour. Soft afternoon light beautifully illuminates the townscape.
