Mother Farm

📍 Chiba, Futtsu

A huge hilltop farm-park on the Boso Peninsula with sheep races, hand-feedable capybaras and alpacas, seasonal flower fields, and Tokyo Bay views — wholesome chaos with a Ferris wheel.

High on the hills of the Boso Peninsula, with Tokyo Bay glinting below, Mother Farm is a sprawling farm-park built for a very specific kind of joy: feeding fuzzy animals, watching sheep do undignified things, and wandering through fields of flowers.

Why It’s Interesting

It’s wholesome, a little chaotic, and bigger than you expect. There are sheep races and shearing shows, capybaras, alpacas, and cows to hand-feed, a small amusement area with a Ferris wheel, and — the secret weapon — seasonal flower fields that wash the hillside in nemophila and poppies in spring, kochia and cosmos in autumn. The bay views are a bonus most farms can’t offer.

Best Time to Visit

Year-round, with the flower displays peaking in spring and autumn. Animal shows run daily — check the day’s schedule at the gate.

Getting There

Easiest by car over the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line (pair it with a stop at Umihotaru), or by bus from Sanukimachi Station.

Capybaras AND sheep, all fuzzier than me. A field of rivals. I don't like them.
