Boso Peninsula (房総半島) is a peninsula in eastern Chiba. The peninsula has some of the best and easiest accessible beaches in the Tokyo area and attracts many Tokyoites for that reason. The peninsula is also known for its flowers with there being many flower farms in the area.
For a rural area the Boso Peninsula is covered by surprisingly good public transport options. Trains regularly circumnavigate the coast while the interior is covered by trains infrequently. Depending on where your destination is you may need to hail a taxi from the station though buses also serve most tourist destinations.
