Chiba

Chiba prefecture, is located eastwards of Tokyo. Because it is the location of Japan's busiest international airport, Narita, it is very likely that travelers will pass through Chiba at some point. From exploring Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Sea to relaxing on the beaches, there is much more to do in Chiba than passing through its airport. There are also some important historical and religious sites such as Naritasan Shinshoji Temple and beautiful natural scenery including the Boso Peninsula and Mt. Nokogiri.
