The Boso Peninsula (房総半島, Bōsō Hantō) is a peninsula east of Tokyo Bay that covers almost all of Chiba Prefecture. The peninsula with its mountainous interior receives a relatively higher level of rainfall than the rest of Chiba, the result of which is a luscious green scenery. From Tokyo the Boso Peninsula is usually accessed via the Aqua Line expressway.
