It was built in 1677 (the Edo era). At that time, many farmers tried to develop this area and building the temple was one of their activities. It is not so huge but has been loved by local people. In September 2007, Chiba was hit by a typhoon, and the temple was destroyed, but people living in the area decided to use the community chest for its restoration. Finally, it was repaired and reborn by local people. It has been a symbol of Oyumino and is still cherished.

Has fireflies in this park, but you cannot see them often because they have been protected carefully.
イオンタウンおゆみ野
It has countless shops, restaurants and big movie theaters. From kids to elder people, all generations can have a fun here.

Nothing spectacular, but during the Sakura (Cherry blossom) season a nice place to get away from the concrete jungle.
カラオケアーサー
The atmosphere of this karaoke parlor is like Ancient Greece and Rome. You can enjoy Karaoke, a Japanese young culture. First, choose one song from song lists (Western songs are popular). Then, you are supposed to sing like a singer with the recorded music. If you have never been to karaoke before, try this in Japan.

Razed in 1516, a reconstruction of the castle tower was built here in 1967 to house the Chiba Folk Museum.
千葉ポートタワー
10 minutes on foot from monorail and Keiyo line Chiba Minato station. Towers like this are a fixture of any self-respecting Japanese city, and here the observation deck (112m) offers views of the surrounding docks, at least for a kilometer or two until they fade off in the smog. Sunset is the most popular time to visit, and you can cap off your visit with all-you-can-eat BBQ at a number of seaside restaurants nearby. Entry ¥420, open daily from 09:00 to 19:00 (or 21:00 in summer).
