Introduction of “Chiba City”
Greetings from the Mayor
Welcome to Chiba City.
Located approximately halfway between the air gateways of Japan, Narita International Airport and Haneda Airport, Chiba City has excellent transportation access; it takes less than 30 minutes to arrive to either airport, as well as the capital city Tokyo. As prefectural capital, it is a large, developing city that plays a large role in capital functions. It is also a city that is rich in lush greenery and beautiful waterfronts.
Makuhari New City district, being the base for global business in our city, is packed with facilities such as a baseball stadium where you can watch professional baseball games, hotels, large shopping malls, and outlets malls. Located in the center is the Makuhari Messe, the first full-scale combined-type convention facility in Japan where seven sporting games for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games were hosted.
Furthermore, Makuhari New City district, being designated a national strategic special zone, is making progress in the building of a futuristic city where Japanese and foreign people can interact and new industries are created through the accumulation of a variety of futuristic technology and state-of-the-art research institutes, such as drone delivery demonstrations, ICT use in medical care, and self-driving systems as well as support for foreigners looking to establish companies, etc. The city also has other facilities, such as the Kasori shell mounds, the Chiba City Folk Museum, the Sayado Hall at the Chiba City Museum of Art, and other locations to visit after conventions.
In addition, Chiba City, in collaboration with the Chiba Convention Bureau and International Center, provides one-stop services including a complete support system for holding meetings, introduction to Chiba-exclusive venues, finding volunteers, and more. Its outstanding performance over the years that brought numerous business events to the City has earned a high reputation and resulted in its selection as one of Japan’s Global MICE Enhancement Cities.
We are waiting for you all at the world-renowned MICE city of Chiba.
