SAKURA, CHIBA Historic Tour
Sakura is located 30 minutes by train from Narita Airport and approximately 1 hour from central Tokyo. Although it is not a convenient location, the National Museum of Japanese History is located in Sakura. Thanks to the well-designed exhibits, you can learn more deeply about Japan's history and culture. Sakura also has castle ruins and restored samurai residences, allowing you to imagine the era when samurai lived.
