We visited Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, which is only about an hour away from the city center, with Ms. Renbutsu, who describes herself as an "indoor person." Ms. Renbutsu was also impressed by Chiba City's proximity, which allows for a full travel experience even on a day trip or an overnight stay, saying, "The closeness lowers the hurdle for travel, making it perfect for indoor people." She particularly remembered "Chiba Port Park. The view was great, and it felt like I had come somewhere very far away, making me wonder 'where am I?' The absence of tall buildings around also made me feel liberated from daily life and work, and I felt refreshed." Regarding her usual travels, she shared, "If I travel alone, I would stay in a town with a beach and just stare at the sea, or look for delicious restaurants to eat at. I think the real pleasure of travel is to enjoy spontaneity rather than making detailed plans, so I leave room in my schedule."

Chiba City is accessible in about 45 minutes by train from Tokyo Station, or about 1 hour by car. It boasts numerous tourist spots such as scenic beaches, observation decks, and art museums, making it perfect for a refreshing trip. This time, we introduce spots where you can enjoy both the day and night faces of the city. For the daytime trip, we explored areas like Chiba Minato, where you can enjoy art museums and refreshing seaside. For the evening to night trip, we enjoyed factory night views and local Chiba gourmet loved by locals. At PIER-01, where you can also see factory night views from inside the restaurant, we were very satisfied with local Chiba clams. Furthermore, she enjoyed it, saying, "The restaurant's atmosphere was also wonderful. The high ceiling and large fish tank made it feel like an aquarium. Since it faces the port, you can also enjoy the view, and I'd like to visit privately too."
