Its a great seaside town with lots of beaches and a few good places to eat. I recommend Tensaku especially. It's in the southern part of the town near the Shiokaze Ookoku. My friend is the future mayor, Taiki Oshimoto. He's one of the nicest people in the world.

Chiba Prefecture was established on June 15, 1873 with the merger of Kisarazu Prefecture and Inba Prefecture.
Chiba borders Ibaraki Prefecture to the north at the Tone River, Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture to the west at the Edo River, the Pacific Ocean to the east and Tokyo Bay around its southern boundary.
Chiba's population is one of the wealthiest in Japan due to the prefecture's strong commercial and industrial sectors.
