Surf, SUP, or simply relax in the Japanese seaside
Chiba Prefecture
The Chiba coast is a well-known location in the surfing world, having hosted the first-ever Olympic surfing event during the 2020 Tokyo Games. Take a trip down the coast to the Pacific-side city of Katsuura, where you'll find Malibu Point: a hub for marine-sport enthusiasts and lovers of the Japanese seaside. You will have an unforgettable time there meeting the friendly staff, trying out a surf lesson & SUP tour, dining on local cuisine, and staying the night right along the shore.
With its ocean-view rooms, cafe, shop, local guides, and water-sport rentals and lessons, Malibu Point is ready to help you dive right into your Japan ocean adventure. If your ocean activity of choice is surfing, SUP, kayaking, snorkeling, or bodyboarding, Malibu Point is your one-stop-shop for equipment rentals, board storage, or even brand-new custom and local goods. For those who would like a surfing, SUP, or yoga lesson, Malibu Point offers those as well. Malibu Point is located in Katsuura City, and Katsuura Station is just an hour and 30 minutes away from Tokyo Station via the limited-express train.
How to get there
From JR Tokyo Station, take the limited express Wakashio (about 1 hour and 30 minutes) or the regular Sotobo Line trains via the Keiyo or Sobu Lines (about 2 hours) to JR Katsuura Station.
