Byobugaura is an inlet at the northeast coast of Chiba Prefecture that stages from Cape Inubo in Choshi to Cape Gyobumi in Asahi. Byobugaura is an critical part of the coastal place in Chiba Prefecture, because it connects the northern factor of the Pacific Ocean coast at Choshi to Kujukuri Beach, which covers a big part of the western facet of the prefecture. The call of the inlet is fashioned from the phrase byobu, the Japanese-style folding screen, and ura, which means an inlet.

Byobugaura resembles the White Cliffs of Dover at the English Channel. Byobugaura changed into used as a protective position overlooking the Pacific Ocean as early as the Kamakura length 1185–1333. Tsuneharu Kataoka fl. 12th century, a grandson of the local chief Taira no Tadatsune, used an area 100 metres 330 toes in the front of the existing-day vicinity of Iioka Lighthouse on Cape Gyobumi to build Sanuki Castle.

Kataoka plotted in opposition to the primary Kamakura shogun Minamoto no Yoritomo, and Kataoka, his own family, and nearby supporters had been defeated and killed at Sanuki Castle via members of the Chiba extended family. Byobugaura makes up the southernmost part of Suigo-Tsukuba Quasi-National Park, however because of the threat of violent waves off the inlet there are few recreational centers built within the area.
