The next journey of enquiry and discovery takes place on the Uchibo and Sotobo railway lines in Chiba Prefecture. Two pairs of travellers will go around Boso Peninsula over three days. Gitan Otsuru and Jun Shibuki will be in charge of the first half of the trip, while Mami Kumagai and Taku Suzuki will take over the
The first pair of travellers will start by riding on the Uchibo Line. Established in 1912, it was originally called the Kisarazu Line, operating from Soga Station to Anegasaki Station. The entire line was established in the Taisho era and in 1972, its name was changed to the Uchibo Line.
The travellers then drop by Fresh Mart Sanpei, a supermarket that has been loved by the locals for 50 years. It was originally a butcher's shop, but now sells everything from groceries to household goods. This includes about 50 kinds of meat such as beef, pork and chicken. The owner suggests Mr Otsuru and Ms Shibuki check out a restaurant behind the supermarket. Yakitori Sanpei, a small eatery, opened in 1984 and has only eight counter seats.
The two travellers continue asking locals for recommendations. A store owner at Kanaya Harbour tells them loquats are famous in Boshu and they should check out the souvenir shop next door. Shokusai Ichiba sells nearly 2,000 local products. It has a dedicated corner for about 200 loquat products such as cookies, sweets and juices. Its most popular product is loquat jelly, which has even been presented to the imperial family.
