Everything about Boso Peninsula totally explained
Bōsō Peninsula (房総半島
Bōsō-hantō) is a
peninsula in
Chiba prefecture on
Honshū, the largest island of
Japan. It forms the eastern edge of
Tokyo Bay, separating it from the
Pacific Ocean.
Most of the peninsula is hilly, with some points as high as 400 m above
sea level. While the western part of the peninsula is highly urbanized (centered on the city of
Kisarazu), the other coastal lowlands and interior river valleys are chiefly used for growing
rice.
The
Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line, a
bridge-
tunnel across Tokyo Bay, connects Kisarazu with the city of
Kawasaki in
Kanagawa Prefecture.
The peninsula gets its name (and the
kanji) from the former
provinces that were located there:
Awa (安房) contributed the first kanji, while
Kazusa (上総) and
Shimousa (下総) contributed the second.
