What Chiba places, cuisine, events, experiences enrich your Japan life?
The Chiba Prefecture government's international affairs division invites foreign resident volunteers to share the Chiba spots we love. I can't attend because of work obligations, but I can share your faves by email. What in Chiba lit you up - food, shops, nature, festivals, events, and experiences? Conversely, what didn't work out or confounded you? Photo tax - irises at Noda City's Sogo Park.

Honestly, I haven't explored Chiba as much as I would have liked. It's one of those prefectures that was right next door when I lived in Tokyo, and I think to a degree that means it gets pushed down the list a bit. Most of my visits have been for the obvious tourist favorites of Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea, which probably isn't what they want to hear. I'm sure they want to disperse visitors out a bit ;) I would like to delve more into the cultural side of the prefecture on future visits. I saw a review of yours about Boso Village and thought it looked really interesting.

@BigfamJapan I feel you on that, my kids love going, but it isn't enjoyable when it's packed to the brim and you're queueing for most of the day!

@genkidesu I'm glad I went to Disney Sea in the 2010s before international tourists numbers started rising. I'm glad I did but once was enough.

@BigfamJapan I find that, on excursions down the Boso Peninsula, ocean views instantly revive me! I love mountain scenery, too, but I'm a coastal kid after all.

@genkidesu On the winter break, I intend to visit some more Chiba destinations and blog about them. It's a bit far away from your region, so I can imagine you'd want to hit the highlights, specifically the Disney Resort.
