Inhabited by people since the pre-historic era, Makuhari is today a conference city that — thanks to its proximity to Tokyo — is highly regarded as a convenient site for holding various events and conferences. Makuhari lies in Chiba Prefecture, which has a land area of 5,156 sq. kilometers and a population of just over 6 million.

Home to Narita International Airport, Japan's main aerial gateway to the world, Chiba is blessed by rich greenery and abundant marine resources. As such, the prefecture is keen to promote the image of a peninsula filled with greenery, and is working to develop ecotourism and agritourism by collaborating with the prefecture's farmers and fishermen. This new trend in tourism is designed to offer an unforgettable, impactful experience to visitors, and the prefecture very much looks forward to attracting well-traveled tourists who are searching for something different.

Apart from such a trend, there are many things to see and do in and around the Makuhari area. Among them, probably the most popular has been — and still remains to be — Tokyo Disneyland and the adjacent Tokyo DisneySea. The former opened in April 1983, while the latter water-themed park opened in September 2001. Both men and women, young and old from around the globe, have loved the Tokyo Disney Resort as a whole over the years.
