Chiba
Just across Tokyo Bay — yet a world apart. Chiba’s ancient cedar forest, hilltop temples, surfable Pacific coast and world-famous theme park make it Tokyo’s most rewarding day trip.
東京湾を挟んで広がる千葉。成田山・九十九里・房総の海と東京ディズニーリゾート、どこを切り取っても魅力的。
Chiba Prefecture wraps around Tokyo Bay and stretches south to the Boso Peninsula’s rugged Pacific coastline. It’s home to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple — one of Japan’s most visited Buddhist sites — and the sprawling flower fields of Hitachi Seaside Park are just over the border. Chiba’s own Nokogiriyama (Saw Mountain) and Kujukuri Beach draw nature-seekers, while Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea sit officially within Urayasu city.
東京湾を囲む千葉県は、成田山新勝寺・房総の海・九十九里浜・のこぎり山と多彩な魅力を持つ県。東京ディズニーリゾートが立地することでも知られ、国内外から多くの旅行者が訪れます。
