Walking in Byobugaura with a spectacular view of the cliffs and the sea, called the Dover of the Orient.
Byobugaura, located in Choshi City, Chiba Prefecture, is a place where one can feel at home simply gazing at the magnificent scenery created by the sea and the land. The long stretch of cliffs, also known as the "Dover of the Orient," offers a unique landscape that is both rugged and beautiful at the same time. Walking along the promenade while listening to the sound of the waves, the hectic pace of daily life seems to gradually fade away, making it a perfect place to reset your mind. The colors of the sea and the sky change with the seasons and the time of day, giving a different impression each time you visit. Even if you have no special purpose, just admiring the scenery and feeling the breeze will make you glad you came.
Key points for photography
The key to taking photographs is to be conscious of how to capture the "sense of scale" and "movement" that is unique to Byobugaura. If you want to emphasize the grandeur of the cliffs, you can make the size of the cliffs stand out more by putting people, boardwalks, and rocky areas at the edges of the image in a small size. If you use a wide-angle lens to look up at the cliffs from below, it will be easier to convey the unique power of Byobugaura, which looms like a wall. If you want the sea to take center stage, aim for the moment when the waves crash against the rocks and capture the white spray of the waves in the frame. On windy days, the movement of the sea surface and clouds becomes more dynamic, so by capturing a wider view of the sky, you can express the power of nature in a more impressive way.
