Comment
Kujukuri Beach stretches for a total length of approximately 66 km along the eastern shore of the Boso Peninsula in Chiba Prefecture, between Cape Gyobu in Asahi and Cape Taito in Isumi. Its name comes from the legend that Minamoto no Yoritomo stuck arrows into the beach at intervals of one ri (then approximately 660 m) apart, and found that 99 (kuju-ku) were needed to measure the entire distance from Cape Gyobu to Cape Taito. It is one of Japan’s longest sandy beaches, and the serenity and grandeur of its scenery have made it widely loved; in summer it is a popular resort area, particularly for sea bathing and sports camps.Interesting fact
