Kamogawa-shi
Niemon Island
An island with an area of approximately 30,000 square meters floating in the sea of Minamiboso. Legend has it that in the 4th year of the Jisho era, when Minamoto no Yoritomo was defeated in battle and fled to Awa, he was saved here by Niemon. It is called Niemonjima because the owner, Niemon Hirano, has only lived in one house since ancient times. It takes 5 minutes to reach the island by rowing boat with two turrets. It is a place of scenic beauty designated by Chiba, where you can enjoy swimming in the sea and playing on the shore.
