"Kisarazu, city, southwest-central Chiba ken (prefecture), Honshu, Japan. It lies in the delta of the Obitsu River, on the west coast of the Bōsō Peninsula and on the east coast of Tokyo Bay, about 20 miles (32 km) southeast of Tokyo.

Kisarazu prospered as an early regional commercial and post town. During the Edo (Tokugawa) period (1603–1867), Kisarazu obtained the exclusive right of sea traffic between the western Bōsō Peninsula and Edo (now Tokyo). Kisarazu declined in the late 19th century with the introduction of steamships and the opening of a railway from Tokyo along the coast of the Bōsō Peninsula. The expansion of the Keiyō (Tokyo-Chiba) Industrial Zone on reclaimed lands had reached the city, however, by the early 1970s.

Chemicals, iron, steel, and electrical machinery are produced there. The city is also the southeastern terminus of the Trans-Tokyo Bay Highway. The last large stretch of natural beach within Tokyo Bay is at Kisarazu and is a popular recreation area. Pop. (2005) 122,234; (2010) 129,312."

"Sawara (佐原) is a small town northeast of Narita City that prospered during the Edo Period (1603-1868) as a transport hub for rice shipments into Edo. Sawara's historic center lies along a canal, and is known as "Little Edo" for its small district of preserved and restored traditional residences, merchant shops and warehouses from the Edo Period.

The canal is crossed by a number of bridges, the most interesting of which is the Ja Ja Bridge that spouts a twice hourly waterfall from its span into the canal below. Flat-bottomed boat tours of the canal depart from here.

Also found near the Ja Ja Bridge are the Ino Tadataka Museum and his former residence. Born in Sawara, Ino Tadataka was an Edo Period surveyor who made highly accurate maps of the entire Japanese archipelago for the Tokugawa Shogunate. The museum is dedicated to displaying his work and his techniques with excellent displays and description in English.

The town is also known for its festival, the Sawara Matsuri, where floats topped by giant dolls, representing mythological Japanese warriors and heroes, are wheeled through the streets. The festival is held twice yearly in July and October. A few of the floats and other festival items can be seen year round at the Dashi Kaikan museum a short walk from the canal."
