What to do in Chiba? A region with a thousand faces

Little known to tourists, Chiba prefecture, located east of Tokyo, is worth a detour. Between the long beaches of the Pacific coast, the overflowing entertainment of Tokyo Bay, and the wilder and unspoiled south, here is our selection of the most beautiful sites to discover in Chiba.

Where is Chiba?

Chiba Prefecture is located east of Tokyo, neighboring Ibaraki and Saitama. Both rural and urban, it conceals many treasures. Chiba is a territory of more than 5,000 km ², with more than 6 million locals scattered in 37 towns and 6 districts, a stone's throw away from the capital. Daily commuters to the capital crowd the Sobu line connecting the cities during rush hours day and night. Along the Edo River, bordered by Tokyo Bay on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other. It is the Edo River which delimits the border between the prefectures of Tokyo (west bank) and Chiba (east bank).
