Chiba

Global MICE Cities

The City of Chiba is conveniently located only 30 minutes from Central Tokyo, Narita Airport and Haneda Airport. It is an ideal location for business gatherings with Japan’s top convention complex, Makuhari Messe, with large number of hotels, meeting venues and commercial facilities located within and nearby. The city boasts Japan’s longest man-made beach as well as verdant metropolitan parks and foothill villages, providing a balance between the sea and greenery that remind visitors of the proximity and abundance of nature. You can enjoy a wide variety of unique venues for unforgettable events, from parties in the sky on the Chiba Urban Monorail, -the world’s longest suspended monorail system, to receptions in the highly sophisticated neo-Renaissance atmosphere of Sayado Hall at the Chiba City Museum of Art.
