Chiba Prefecture is a prefecture of Japan located in the Kanto region and the Greater Tokyo Area. Its capital is Chiba City. Chiba borders Ibaraki Prefecture to the north at the Tone River, Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture to the west at the Edo River, the Pacific Ocean to the east and Tokyo Bay around its southern boundary. Chiba is one of Japan's largest industrial areas, thanks to its long coastline on Tokyo Bay. Chemical production, petrochemical refining, and machine production are the three main industries in Chiba today; together, they account for forty-five percent of the prefecture's exports.
