Urayasu City is an area that combines an open environment facing Tokyo Bay with the convenience of a city. It is known nationwide as home to Tokyo Disney Resort, and its townscape has a resort-like feel to it. The Shin-Urayasu area is lined with high-rise condominiums and large commercial facilities, providing a good living environment. On the other hand, the area around Urayasu Station still has an old-fashioned shopping street where you can enjoy a friendly atmosphere. You can easily access Tokyo, Otemachi, and Shinjuku using the JR Keiyo Line and Tokyo Metro Tozai Line. This area is recommended for working adults in their 20s and 30s who want to balance a calm environment by the sea with the convenience of a city.

Voice of area responsible
When I'm in charge of Urayasu City, I often hear people say, ``Even though it's close to Tokyo, it has a calm living environment.'' Commuting is extremely convenient as you can use the Tozai Line and Keiyo Line. However, the Urayasu area has many parks and walking paths along canals, and many people enjoy jogging and cycling. Shin-Urayasu has a large shopping mall, and there are plenty of options for shopping and eating out. Additionally, there is a Disney resort in the Maihama area, making it a popular spot for holidays. It is chosen by many people as an area where it is easy to balance work and private life.
