A Day of Learning in Nagareyama📚

#cityplaybook

If you’re interested in Japan’s food culture and history, Nagareyama in Chiba is a perfect place to slow down and discover something new. 🍶🏘️

Start your journey at the Shiro Mirin Museum, where you’ll learn all about traditional sweet rice wine—an essential ingredient in Japanese cooking. The exhibits are beautifully presented, and you can see just how mirin has been made for centuries. Don’t forget to check out the souvenir shop too—there are some unique gifts to bring home!

Then take a stroll through the Nagareyama Honcho Machinaka Museum, a lovely area where historical buildings have been preserved and repurposed as cultural spaces. It’s like stepping back in time!

Why I recommend this area:
・You can get hands-on with Japan’s culinary history in a charming, small-town setting
・It’s a quiet, walkable area that’s perfect for a relaxed cultural day trip

📍Nagareyama, Chiba Prefecture
