Chiba
Chiba Prefecture is best known as home to Narita International Airport — Japan's principal international gateway — and to Tokyo Disney Resort, yet it stretches far beyond theme parks and terminals into a long Pacific coastline, surf beaches, and historic temple towns like Narita. It sits directly east of Tokyo, offering visitors a coastal, food-rich counterpoint (fresh Tokyo Bay seafood, soy sauce heritage) to the capital's urban density.
