Yokoshibahikari (横芝光町 Yokoshibahikari-machi) is a town located in Sanbu District, Chiba, Japan.
It was formed by the merger on March 27, 2006 of the towns of Hikari, from Sōsa District, and the town of Yokoshiba, from Sanbu District. Sōsa District was dissolved as a result of this merger.
Yokoshibahikari features quite a unique topology: the town is a collection of quarters scattered over the large countryside extending from Yokoshiba's JR station on the Sobu Main Line to the (almost) 8km far coastline. Given such sparse structure, it takes quite a long time for the bus lines to serve the whole town.
