Chosei

Chosei is a village in Chiba Prefecture featuring flat terrain that extends toward the Pacific Ocean coastline. Agricultural land dominates the landscape, shaping how residents live and work across the region.

The village was formed in 1953 through the merger of several small hamlets from the former Kazusa Province. This consolidation created the current municipality, which has maintained its independent status since then.

The village maintains traditional local governance with a 15-member council system, representing community interests and preserving municipal independence within Chiba Prefecture.

The village has schools serving children and teenagers from the area. The best time to visit is during warmer months when farming activity is visible and coastal areas are accessible.

Chosei remains the single municipality classified as a village in Chiba Prefecture, specializing in melon and tomato cultivation alongside natural gas extraction.
