Located next to Tokyo, Chiba Prefecture offers a well-afforded environment for living backed by sophisticated infrastructure of transportation, education, medical services and shopping, as well as abundant job opportunities. Chiba is also rich with the natural environment embracing sea shores and satoyama, or hills of harmonized wilderness and human care. This brings about attractive tourism resources, historical/cultural assets and dainty agricultural and marine products. In this way, Chiba is a heart-warming place for residents and visitors alike.
Citizens of Chiba Prefecture engage in the prefectural administration in the environment, welfare, education and various other fields. They initiate and carry out plans from the very early stage and onward (promotion of a true decentralized society).
