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.

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!

    PROCEEDINGS - AAG MIDDLE STATES DIVISION - VOL. 21, 1988 THE SEARCH FOR QUAUlY OF LIFE IN JAPANESE PlANNED COMMUNmESe Gary R. Hovinen Department of Geography Millersville University Millersville, PA 17551-0302 Japanese cities have gained a reputation for having a low quality of life in the midst of rising affluence. But Japan has also undertaken since the 1960s an ambitious national effort to develop large-scale planned communities in existing metropolitan areas. How successful have planners been in carrying out plans for these new towns? Furthermore, have residents of the new towns judged them to be successful thus far in providing a reasonable quality of life? This study will address these questions by focusing on Tama and Chiba New Towns, two of the earliest planned communities in the Tokyo metropolitan area. A study of the degree of success of these two Tokyo-area new towns can provide useful comparative information for new town planning in other countries and add to the knowledge about new town developments throughout the world. Comparisons might be made, for example, between Japan and developed countries in Europe and North America as well as between Japan and the densely populated but less developed countries of East and Southeast Asia. This study of Tama and Chiba New Towns was conducted in 1987 through field investigation, inter­ views, and use of published and unpublished planning documents provided by planners and government officials. Both English-language and Japanese-language sources were used. Tama and Chiba are located on oppOSite sides of the metropOlitan area and are both 25-40 . kilometers from central Tokyo (Figure 1).

  • Chevkinite-(Ce) in Tuff at Heguri, Boso Peninsula, Chiba Prefecture, Japan
    Bull. Natl. Mus. Nat. Sci., Ser. C, 38, pp. 7–13, December 22, 2012 Chevkinite-(Ce) in tuff at Heguri, Boso Peninsula, Chiba Prefecture, Japan Ritsuro Miyawaki1*, Satoshi Matsubara1, Kazumi Yokoyama1, Koichi Momma1, Takashi Sano1, Yukiyasu Tsutsumi1, Masako Shigeoka1 and Katsumi Nishikubo2 1 Department of Geology and Paleontology, National Museum of Nature and Science, 4–1–1 Amakubo, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305–0005, Japan 2 Fukuei, Ichikawa, Chiba 272–0137, Japan Abstract Chevkinite-(Ce) occurs in the rhyolitic tuff of the Mineoka group from Boso Penin- sula, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. It forms as black tiny crystals less than 100 μm across in association with zircon, quartz, K-feldspar and analcime. Optically, chevkinite-(Ce) is pleochroic in brown and blackish brown. The electron microprobe analysis gave the following empirical formula: (Ce1.57La0.83Ca0.58Nd0.56Pr0.15Y0.09Th0.08Sm0.05Gd0.04Dy0.02)Σ3.97(Ti2.74Fe1.84Al0.14Mg0.05Nb0.05Mn0.02)Σ4.84 Si4O21.25F0.18 on the basis of Si＝4. It is non-metamict and gives sharp X-ray diffractions. The unit cell parameters were refined from data of a single crystal on a 4-circle diffractometer; a＝13.3949(12), b＝5.7293(8), c＝11.0523(10) Å, β＝100.636(7)°, V＝833.62(16) Å3 and Z＝2. The refinement of crystal structure converged to R1＝0.0371 and wR2＝0.1304 for 1984 indepen- dent reflections. Key words : chevkinite-(Ce), crystal structure, Chiba, Japan, rare-earth Introduction zircon-bearing heavy sand sample for the dating Chevkinite-(Ce) is a silicate mineral of rare partitioned from pale green tuff between the earth elements (REE), iron and titanium, and is a shale strata at Heguri, Chiba Prefecture member of the chevkinite group minerals having (35°6′13″N, 139°55′44″E).

  • 1 Sustainable Development of Tokyo Bay: Collaboration of Anti-Recla
    Sustainable Development of Tokyo Bay: Collaboration of anti-recla mation movement and urban fishery Kenji YAMAZAKI (Meiji University) Tomoko YAMAZAKI (Iwate University) 1. Issue of Research It is necessary to look at the history of our association with this body of seawater when studying the sustainable development of Tokyo Bay. Many people live this stage of sea. The association has changed over time, but there has always been a view of “learn from the sea ”. However, during the high economic growth period following the end of WWII, a general trend was born to treat this sea as an object of real estate to be exploited. This resulted in the reclamation of coastal areas and construction of many factories thereon. The water from these factories was directly dumped into Tokyo Bay. The growth of the economy also resulted in a rapid increase of population. Here again, all waste from this growth flowed into Bay. Tokyo Bay was on the way to certain death. The movement to revive Tokyo Bay, however, was initiated among the local inhabitants and activities of fishermen. When we open the history book on the environmental pollution, it becomes clear that “the fishermen have been sensors for pollution and subjects of experimentation.” Fishermen were the first to be affected by pollution in the cases of Minamata, the second Minamata, Yokkaichi and Ashio incidents. By focusing on the activities of fishermen, we can understand the requirements for the sustainable development of Tokyo Bay and we can see the true nature of the issue . Should we plan to stimulate a spending spree by constructing a casino that overlooks the night scene of Tokyo Bay or should we strive to regain a blue sea where fishermen can maintain their living? The choice is obvious.
