Mother Farm

What to know

Mother Farm (マザー牧場, Mother Bokujō) is a vast farm and flower-themed amusement park on the Boso Peninsula, offering a variety of farm-related attractions and activities, including large flower fields, sheep herding demonstrations, sheep shearing, duck parades, piglet races, and a petting zoo with rabbits and guinea pigs.

The flower fields at Mother Farm boast the largest number of nanohana (rapeseed) flowers in the Kanto Region, with around 3.5 million flowers typically in bloom from mid-February to mid-April. Other flowers, like cosmos and salvia, are grown in the fields when the nanohana flowers are not in season. Fruit and vegetable picking is also available seasonally for separate fees.

Other paid hands-on activities offered at Mother Farm include horseback riding, cow milking, feeding farm animals, and making food like butter, cheese, or jam. Additionally, there are a few rides such as a small Ferris wheel, a small maze, go-karts, and a cycle-monorail. Restaurants and gift shops are available as well. Walking from one end of the farm to the other takes about 20-30 minutes, and a mini tractor and bus provide alternatives to walking.

Mother Farm is located toward the interior of the Boso Peninsula's western coast and is connected by bus to nearby train stations.

Buses connect Mother Farm to JR Sanukimachi Station (490 yen one way, one bus every two hours on weekdays, hourly on weekends) and JR Kimitsu Station (720 yen one way, roughly hourly on weekends outside winter, one bus every 2-3 hours on other days).
