Enjoy the first sunrise of the year at Choshi's highest point, the Earth Round Hill Observatory. Around 6:00 AM, and again around 6:30 AM, the Choshi Hanedaiko Preservation Society will perform the traditional New Year's drumming and a lion dance. Experience the curvature of the Earth on the 330-degree horizon, then warm up at the popular third-floor lounge, Cafe 330°. The first-floor shop also offers a variety of Choshi souvenirs, perfect for commemorating your visit.
