you obviously avoided kahin-makuhari and the surrounding cities...which is hardly "crappy" or "lacking anything worthwhile" its quite nice and growing a lot. bay town especially, where it takes A LOT of money to live hardly "a place to live if you can't afford Tokyo". Much of which has grown a lot over the past 5 years. Any of the cities on the keiyo line from kaihin to tokyo are worthwhile destinations (including tokyo disney).
but yes, most of the inaka of chiba is the same as the inaka everywhere else...it's just chiba has more inaka than most places.
