      With fashionable towns (Yokohama, Kamakura) and the Shonan area, Kanagawa is “special”, but from the point of view of Tokyo there is no differentiating among “Guntama-Chibaraki” (Gunma and Saitama, Chiba and Ibaraki), Kanto’s other four prefectures are all one lump.

      The TV program Wandering Tamori is visiting the Chibaraki area, where Chiba and Ibaraki prefectures meet at the Tone river. It is an area with strong ties. Chibaraki is not just a one-off nickname; it is used by local people, and even recorded in Ibaraki prefecture’s history.

Usage notes

Chiba and Ibaraki are neighboring prefectures in the Kanto region. Communities on both sides of the river that divides the prefectures share connections. The area is sometimes distinguished from the more urban region of Eastern Tokyo.
