Things To Do
in Kisarazu

Small fish markets/port stalls sell fresh catch, ready-to-eat seafood and occasional seasonal street-food events—look for grilled seafood and take-home sashimi packs.

Mitsui Outlet Park Kisarazu and the station precincts have food courts and vendors where you can sample sweets, crepes, karaage and quick local specialties.

Greet with a nod or bow and use polite language; showing respect and modesty is valued in interactions.

Remove shoes when entering homes, some traditional accommodations, temples and certain restaurants—look for a genkan (entryway) and indoor slippers.

Keep phone calls quiet on trains and avoid loud conversations in public spaces; queuing in an orderly fashion is expected.

Use both hands to give/receive items like money and business cards; place them on a tray if provided at shops.

Tipping is not customary in Japan and can cause confusion; excellent service is expected and included in the price. If you feel compelled to show appreciation, a small gift or a polite thank-you in Japanese is appropriate.

Cash (Japanese yen) is widely used—many smaller shops, izakaya and markets are cash-only. Credit cards are accepted at outlet malls, larger restaurants and stores; IC transit cards (Suica/PASMO) and mobile payments are increasingly accepted but bring cash as backup.

Mild temperatures and cherry blossoms in late March–April; comfortable for walks and outdoor photography. Expect crowded weekends during hanami spots and pleasant seafood seasonality.

Warm to hot and humid with occasional typhoon activity from late summer—coastal breezes help but beach and water activities are popular. Bring sun protection and check weather for storms.

Cooling temperatures and clear skies, good for hiking and scenic drives with autumn foliage arriving later than in northern Japan. Ideal outdoor season with festivals and seafood availability.

Cool and relatively dry with chilly mornings; rare snowfall at low elevations. Good visibility for long-distance bay views; bring a warm coat for winds on the waterfront.

Closest major airport by travel time (roughly 40–60 minutes by car depending on route via Aqua-Line and traffic). Convenient for domestic and many international flights; accessible by car, taxi and train connections via Kawasaki or direct highway routes.

Primary international gateway for many long-haul flights; roughly 70–120 minutes by car or public transport depending on connections. Trains and buses connect Narita to Kisarazu and the wider Chiba area.
