Open-minded and free. The “pioneering spirit” inherited in Chiba.
Boso, a place cultivated by migrants who came across the sea. A modern city on the shores of Tokyo Bay that has generously embraced nature and people, and at the same time, developed along with civilization. In Chiba Prefecture, there is “diversity” that warmly watches over them. The free and abundant creativity that can be called the “pioneering spirit” that has been handed down from ancient times—that is the “Chiba -ness.”
