Yahagi-dai, Hoshikuki-cho

The first neighborhood I lived in
About 20 minutes busride from Central Chiba

Parkside I, Shinden-cho

The second apartment I lived in
5 minutes walk from the school
12 apartments & 1 office

Construction at the Crosswalk

On the way to school one day...
Restaurant behind workers was a favourite

Transliteration is messy
Shop on the left is

Chiba-jo

A replica that serves as museum
In Spring, people gather for picnics
Beneath the Cherry Blossoms

Chiba Minato Park

Late Spring finds
2 "Office Ladies" taking a break

Chiba Port Tower

Portland's Sister Port
The city is in the background
Mostly an empty tower except for
3 floors of viewing and a restaurant

Chiba Port Sunset

Industry is everywhere
Built on reclaimed Tokyo Bay land

Makuhari Office Towers

Also on reclaimed Tokyo Bay
Chiba's most famous district
Has a decidedly Western look

Makuhari Art

In between the skyscrapers
Artists have created a space
For thinking, strolling, resting

Makuhari Gardens

Though only a few years old
This park promises beauty
In the manner of years long gone

Sneak
Peek
Into the
Narita Room

Boso no Mura Museum

A reconstructed village
Recreates Chiba life in the 1800's
