Kind of like cities in Chiba, it didn't seem to have much personality besides being a suburb of Tokyo (which is a bit of a misnomer, but cause it was at least 45 minutes from Tokyo, if I remember right). It felt like pachinko parlor after pachinko parlor with not a whole lot else to do.

Again, this was years ago, but this impression has been confirmed by other foreigners and Japanese.
