    Tokyo Narita Airport Makuhari Shintoshin Haneda Airport NNearbyearby ! Tokyo Bay CHIBA Aqualine Chiba GUIDE Digest Edition English Welcome to Chiba Prefecture! Chiba Prefecture is home to Narita Aiport making it the gateway to Japan. It neighbors Tokyo and is easily accessed from Haneda Airport as well. Visitors can experience Japanese culture and enjoy uniquely Japanese scenery. Welcome to Chiba Prefecture! Chiba Prefecture borders Tokyo to the east and is home to Narita Aiport which welcomes more than 15 million international tourists annually. While Narita Airport is a Japanese airport that is well known around the world, most people arriving from abroad end up traveling to Tokyo right away. This is such a pity. In Chiba Prefecture, visitors can relax alongside gorgeous nature and beautiful oceans and enjoy a variety of experiences. The prefecture also features many historical locations where visitors can experience firsthand the culture and traditions of Japan. Because Chiba does not get as crowded as Tokyo, visitors can enjoy temples, museums, and other historical buildings at a leisurely pace. Chiba, with its oceans and temperate climate, is also great for enjoying cuisine packed with agricultural and livestock products and fresh seafood. We hope everyone who reads this pamphlet has a wonderful time experiencing the nature of Chiba Prefecture and the culture and traditions of Japan! A SHORT TRIP FROM NARITA AIRPORT Narita Boso-no-Mura The history of Naritasan Shinshoji Temple stretches back to the year Boso-no-Mura is a representation of a Japanese townscape 150 years 940.

The Onnagawa Formation is one of such deposits, which shows cyclic sedimentary rhythms reflecting oscil- lations of the marine environment in the Japan Sea. However, the age of the Onnagawa Formation is still poorly con- strained due to the poor preservation of siliceous microfossils. To better constrain its age, we performed U-Pb dating of zircon grains from a tuff layer from the middle part of the Onnagawa Formation, and obtained an age of 11.18 ± 0.37 Ma.
