About this event
How about viewing the first sunrise of the year at Choshi's highest point, the Earth Round Observation Hall? From around 6:00 AM and 6:30 AM, the first drum performance of the New Year and a lion dance showcase by the Choshi Hanedaiko Preservation Society are scheduled. After experiencing the curvature of the earth along the 330-degree horizon, you can warm up at the popular 3rd-floor lounge 'Cafe 330°.' The 1st-floor shop also stocks Choshi souvenirs, which are recommended for commemorative purchases. On New Year's Day only, the facility opens early at 5:30 AM. Admission fees are 420 yen for adults, 200 yen for children, and 360 yen for seniors aged 65 and older.
