Things to do near Club Wyndham Sundance Resort Onjuku, Chiba 

• Onjuku Beach 

 This 2-kilometre stretch of white sand forms a crescent-shaped bay along the Pacific coast, and the swimming and surfing areas are clearly separated for safety. During the summer, beach huts sell fresh lobster and local seafood with spectacular sunrise views over the Pacific. Surfboard rentals cost around 1,000 yen per day.  

• Tsukinosabaku Memorial Park 

This coastal park is named after “Tsukinosabaku” (Desert Under the Moon), a children’s song written by poet Masao Kato in the 1920s. A bronze statue shows a prince and princess on camels under the moon. The monument was erected around 1969 with the poet’s approval. The park provides a quiet space for walks along the shore, and the combination of the statue, sea breeze and ocean views has made it popular with couples. 

• Onjuku Water Park 

Open from mid-July through the end of August, this seasonal facility is located near the beach, and offers water slides and pools for families. It’s a great alternative when ocean waves become too strong for young swimmers.  

• Mexico Memorial Park 

This hilltop park commemorates 30th September 1609, when the Spanish galleon San Francisco, en route from Manila to Acapulco, wrecked off the coast during a typhoon. Local villagers rescued 317 survivors, including Spanish colonial governor Don Rodrigo de Vivero. A 17-meter obelisk erected in 1928 marks this event, which established early ties between Japan, Spain, and Mexico. The park offers sweeping views of the harbour and coastline.
