    Chiba Pref. Chibashi Chuou-ku Chuou 3-10-8
    The collection at Chiba City Museum of Art focuses on works by artists with a close connection to the Boso Peninsula and paintings of scenes from the Boso Peninsula. Its collection includes paintings from the Edo period (1603?1868), woodblock prints from the Edo through early Showa periods (1926?1989), and Japanese and Western modern art. It has no permanent exhibits but instead sponsors rotating exhibitions and exhibitions of its holdings, lectures, and workshops. The museum is housed in the remodeled and restored Chiba branch of Kawasaki Bank and shares the building with the ward office of Chuo-ku. There is also a restaurant and a library in the building.

    Not a grand gallery but provide a good glimpse of works from local artists. The set up is nice and is worth a visit if you are in the area. The very friendly atmosphere made me feeling welcome...

It has a great view of the bay and easy access to Tokyo Disney Resort.

    素泊まりなら、料金が安くて子供の添い寝も無料とコスパ良し。 近所はコンビニもないので、舞浜駅で事前に準備しておくと安くあがる。ホテルにもレストランや売店があるが、割高。朝食は結構な金額なので、ディズニー目的なら開始時間も遅いし不要。 スパがあるので、ディズニー前泊、ディズニー後泊どちらも疲れが癒せます。 部屋は壁紙剥がれてるとか細かいところはあるが、料金考えたら問題なし!
