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.

Field report
Mother Farm is a whole hilltop of wholesome chaos on the Boso Peninsula: sheep races, hand-feedable capybaras and alpacas, seasonal flower slopes, Tokyo Bay glittering below, and a Ferris wheel to sort your feelings on afterward.
I entered the sheep race. Unofficially. I rode the fence rail alongside the field, matched the leader stride for stride, and consider myself the moral winner of Heat 3. The capybaras received me as capybaras receive everything: with the serenity of creatures who have never once hurried. I fed an alpaca and was breathed on so hard my fur parted.
Families swarm it on weekends, and the soft-serve (fresh farm milk) has a permanent queue that moves fast. Petting-zoo diplomacy, flower fields, a genuinely great view — an uncomplicated full acorn.
