Mother Farm in Chiba
Last updated: September 13, 2026
Mother Farm spreads 250 hectares across the hills of Futtsu, Chiba — a working farm, petting zoo and amusement park in one, its pastures and flower meadows rolling over the Boso Peninsula within easy reach of Tokyo. Watch the sheep parade cross the hillside, feed alpacas, ride horses and pick seasonal fruit and flowers to carry home; a theme-park corner adds zip lines and rides, and the farm's own restaurants serve what the pastures produce. It's the rare day out that works equally for toddlers, teenagers and anyone who needs a horizon.

Frequently Asked Questions
The signature Sheep Parade sends a flock streaming across the hillside, and around it the day fills itself: feeding alpacas and sheep in the petting zoo, horse riding, seasonal fruit and flower picking, handmade crafts, and zip lines and rides in the theme-park area. As a working farm it also sells its own fresh products to take home.
Take the JR Uchibo Line to Kimitsu Station — around 90 minutes from Tokyo — where a direct local bus climbs to the farm in roughly half an hour. Driving via the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line takes about an hour and a half from central Tokyo.
It's built for them. The petting zoo puts sheep, goats and other farm animals within arm's reach, the flower meadows are made to be played in, and the harvesting and craft activities are pitched so small hands can join — with enough rides and zip lines to keep older siblings busy.
