explanation: Located in the western prefecture, Chiba developed as a castle town of Chiba clan in the middle ages. Since the prefectural office was settled there, the development of Chiba has accelerated thanks to its vicinity to Tokyo especially after the opening of a second railroad, Keiyo line which connects Chiba in less than 30mn to the center of Tokyo. On a reclaimed land, there exist many modern buildings such as "Makuhari messe convention center" and "Marine stadium". The population is 890,000.
