Hotels in Yachimata

Yachimata is a small city in Chiba Prefecture, known chiefly for peanut farming — this is one of Japan's main producing areas, and roasted local peanuts turn up in shops and markets around town. There is little in the way of conventional sightseeing, and most visitors passing through are here for agricultural business, family visits, or simply because it sits within striking distance of Narita International Airport rather than for the city itself.

The pace is provincial and quiet, which suits travellers wanting an inexpensive, low-key base away from airport-hotel prices without losing easy access to Narita. Stay here mainly if you need proximity to Narita for an early flight or are exploring Chiba's rural east; otherwise Narita city itself offers more choice and amenities for the same purpose.
