There were many areas for hiking, lots of parks, and beautiful countryside. There were also many lakes, ponds, and streams. Another plus was that it was close to the sea, and the beach in this part of Chiba is clean, and actually has decent surf.

More good things were that the cost of living was very low, but it was only an hour by bus from Tokyo Station.
Looking at Google Earth, certain parts of Chiba look very nice indeed. Togane looks like it may be a bit too rural for my tastes, but I'll have to checkout some of the other cities on the peninsula.
