Chiba prefecture has many areas with good access to downtown areas, childcare, and education systems. Matsudo City, Kashiwa City, Ichikawa City, Urayasu City, Chiba City Chuo- ku are lined up in the prefecture's best cities rankings. However, in March 2011, because of the Great East Japan Earthquake, liquefaction of Urayasu City became a problem. In this way, when searching for a house, it is necessary to know not only the convenience but also the state of the ground in order to prevent damage if a large earthquake occurs. According to the information of researchers of the strata and ground of the metropolitan area as "commentators of residence and town", the hard areas of the ground in Chiba prefecture are as follows:
- Funabashi City
- Kashiwa City
- Chiba City
- Kamagaya City
- Shirai City
- Sakura City
- Narita City
- Yachimachi City
Chiba, even bring beside the ocean, has many hard ground areas around the south. Very extensive areas such as Narita, Sakura, Matsudo, Kashiwa, and Funabashi are located above Shimosa. In Daichi, the ground is strong as well. On the other hand, landfill sites, such as Urayasu, may suffer from liquefaction once more, therefore it is important to consider this possibility.
There are also plenty of terraces nearby, excluding the Gulf Coast and the seaside. The ground of the Shimousa Plateau is strong, but landfill sites such as Noda City, where liquefaction occurred due to the disaster, and landfill sites such as Urayasu City and Chiba City Mihama Ward have soft ground. Also, watch out for lowland along the Edogawa River such as Matsudo City and Nagareyama City. As in Ichikawa city, there are cases where landfill sites, low land, and mixed earth, it is necessary to know what the local ground is like. The Boso Total Hills along the Boso Peninsula is very robust.
As a result of the Great East Japan Earthquake, the awareness about the safety of homes is getting very high among residents of Japan. Therefore, in recent years, the number of customers who desire properties on hard ground has increased. In order to minimize the damage in the event of an earthquake, it is also important to confirm the ground of the land when purchasing property.
