Sosa City is situated in northeastern Chiba, within a 70km radius of Tokyo and about a 30-minute drive from Narita Airport. The northern part of the city retains abundant satoyama (countryside) nature, while the southern flatlands face the Kujukuri Coast. The area enjoys a mild oceanic climate, with cool summers and warm winters, and rarely sees snowfall. An interesting local fact is that the Kujukuri Coast is one of the longest continuous sandy beaches in Japan, stretching approximately 66 kilometers. The property is conveniently located just about 500 meters from the coast, making it ideal for beach access. The closest major landmark is the scenic Kujukuri Beach itself, a popular destination for surfing and seaside leisure.
