九十九里浜
This beach is, for many travelers, their first glimpse of Japan: it's the long coastline you see from the plane coming in over the Pacific into Narita. The name means "99-ri coast", where a "ri" is an old unit of length equal to about 654 m. The coast is in fact around 60 km in length. There are numerous small towns along the coast, from Iioka on the north to Ichinomiya on the south.
