Visitors to Chiba City can enjoy more than 40 new shops and food stalls after the JR Chiba Station remodel opened at the end of November. Among the new highlights are ramen shops, a drugs store, traditional sushi shops, coffee shops, cafes and a huge Perie market and shopping area in the middle of all of it.
The Perie market area houses everything from an extensive wine and alcohol selection to fresh fish and meat to vegetables and other produce, plus omiyage (traditional Japanese gifts), tempura, sweets, and many other foods.
