What is Tako Town?

Tako Town is located in the northeastern part of Chiba Prefecture, on the Hokuso Plateau, to the east of Narita Airport, Japan's main gateway. Along the Kuriyama River that runs through the center of town, visitors are greeted by the beautiful rural landscape and the Hydrangea Promenade, where they can enjoy seasonal flowers such as cherry blossoms, hydrangeas, and cosmos. The fertile soil produces agricultural products that are "the blessings of Tako that bring happiness," such as Tako rice, which has been crowned the best-tasting rice in Japan, and Yamato potatoes, which boast one of the highest production volumes in the country. We will introduce you to the charms of Tako Town, which is rich in nature and history, while being just the right distance from the city center.

Tako, a town steeped in history

When the ice age ended 10,000 years ago, the climate began to warm, and by about 6,000 years ago the sea had spread to the lowlands of Tako. Eventually the water gradually receded, the ground rose and land appeared. Rice cultivation began in the Yayoi period, and in ancient times large burial mounds were constructed. In the Middle Ages, it prospered as the Chiba clan's estate, Senda-sho, and in the Edo period it flourished as the castle town of the Tako domain. It continued to develop after the Meiji period, and in recent years it has been carving out new history as an area adjacent to Narita Airport. There are many historical sites remaining within the town that tell the story of its dynamic history to the present day.
