Global MICE Cities

The city also boasts Japan’s longest artificial beach as well as verdant urban parks and foothill villages, providing a balance between the sea and greenery. Unique venues include parties in the sky on the Chiba Urban Monorail, which boasts the world’s longest suspended monorail track, and a reception in the highly sophisticated neo-renaissance atmosphere of Sayado Hall at the Chiba City Museum of Art.
