About
Stretching from the eastern outskirts of Tokyo to the rural Bōsō Peninsula, Chiba is both one Japan's largest industrial areas and its second-highest agricultural producer. If you've eaten vegetables in Japan, chances are some of them came from Chiba, which leads the nation in producing carrots, cabbage, daikon radish, corn, and more. The area is also well-known as a producer of peanuts. Chiba's capital is Chiba City, a large urban area along the western coast. Other major cities include Ichikawa, Kamogawa, and Narita, the latter of which is close to the famous Narita Airport, Japan’s largest international airport. Major tourist attractions like the Tokyo Disney Resort and Kamogawa Sea World make Chiba a must-visit destination for travelers from near and far alike.

【About Chiba City (千葉県千葉市)】
Chiba City is the capital of Chiba Prefecture and about 40 km east of Tokyo. It's also one of the Kanto region's primary seaports, giving the city a nautical atmosphere akin to other port cities like Yokohama and Kobe. A heavily residential area, there are also several major urban centers across the city, including the famous Makuhari Messe. Chiba City is famous for the Chiba Urban Monorail, the longest suspended monorail in the world. Other sights of interest include:
Chiba Shrine- a landmark with over a thousand years of history. Myoken, the North Star deity which the ancient Chiba Clan worshipped, is enshrined here and protects over the city. Unlike the major shrines in cities like Tokyo and Kyoto, where you'll likely be funneled into a crowd of other tourists, here you'll be free to explore the shrine grounds and discover its hidden charms at your leisure.
Chiba Folk Museum AKA Chiba Castle - the museum was built to resemble a traditional Japanese castle, hence its nickname "Chiba Castle." The museum's exhibits occupy five of the castle's floors, featuring historical materials and artifacts related to Chiba City. On the top floor an observation deck awaits, offering a full panorama view of the city!
Nighttime at Chiba Port Tower - Chiba Port Tower is Chiba's highest lookout point. While a bit more quaint than Tokyo Tower or Sky Tree, the souvenir shop on the bottom floor and expansive views accentuated by the sea make it an experience you can only get here on the corner of Chiba's main port. Like other lookout towers, you'll have a panoramic view of the surrounding area, with coin operated binoculars at the most picutresque points.
Transportation in and out of the city is easy, and whether you're going down the coast for sun and surfing or westward for a trip into Tokyo, Chiba City is a great place to live and work.
