Journeys in Japan - Season 7 - Eps 36: Isumi-Ichinomiya: Fresh Air and Laid-Back Living
The Isumi-Ichinomiya area lies on the east coast of Chiba Prefecture, facing out toward the Pacific Ocean. It's just an hour from Tokyo by train, but it feels much further away. Thanks to the mild climate, it is much cooler in the summer. With its long, sandy beaches and quiet farming villages, it feels as relaxed as an overseas resort. In recent years, a growing number of people have moved to Isumi-Ichinomiya, including many foreigners resident in Japan. Leaving behind the busy pace of life in Tokyo or other cities, they have been able to put down strong roots in this tranquil environment. English teacher and vocalist for a hard rock band, Robert Beaupre explores the Isumi-Ichinomiya area.
