Niemon Island

445 Futomihama, Kamogawa, Chiba 299-2863, Japan

Niemon Island is a place rich in local history.  According to legend, it was the refuge for a defeated shōgun, and also hosted Nichiren, founder of Japan’s Nichiren Buddhism.  To access the island, you’ll have to catch a ferry, which is approximately 12 minutes’ walk from Futomi Station.  Once there, you can explore the island’s rugged shoreline, and venture into its numerous seaside caves.  Also of interest are a Haiku monument inscribed with poems detailing the island’s beauty, and an 800-year-old residence of the island’s first owner, Hirano Niemon.
