Funabashi

Funabashi extends across 85 square kilometers of flat land on the Shimōsa Plateau, maintaining both urban districts and agricultural zones near Tokyo Bay.

The city emerged from the 1937 combination of a post town and fishing village, developing into a major residential area through railway expansion and port activities.

Local farmers and fishermen supply fresh vegetables, fruits, seaweed, and clams to markets, earning the city recognition as The City's Kitchen.

Nine rail lines with 35 stations connect Funabashi to Tokyo, allowing passengers to reach Otemachi Station within 24 minutes from Nishi-Funabashi Station.

The Sanbanze tidal flats along the coast support traditional fishing methods while providing natural resources for the local fishing industry.
