Living in Funabashi

Among the best everyday conveniences in Chiba Prefecture, with large commercial facilities and dense shopping streets surrounding the station. You can have access to Tokyo and shopping convenience at the same time, but in return the area toward the south exit is a lively district packed with pachinko parlors and bars, so the atmosphere changes noticeably late at night. It suits people who can tolerate the noise of a lively neighborhood.

It is a core city of western Chiba served by three lines including the JR Sobu Line, the Sobu Rapid Line and the Tobu Noda Line. Department stores and shopping streets are well developed, so daily-life infrastructure is very solid. As a large lively district, the area around the station is crowded and there is also some entertainment district. The Sobu Rapid Line reaches Tokyo Station, and with rents more reasonable than in Tokyo, it is a hub with broad demand from both families and office workers.
