What other travelers are saying about Mother Farm (Mother Bokujo)
September 14th 2025 it was warm weather and since we were up in Mother Farm the breeze is cooler. We sweat a little bit during that day. We took our 11mo old baby, 5yo child and Father-in-law and his wife. The farm/park is beautiful. We didn’t get to the flower field because they cannot walk far. We only get to do the sweet potato harvest and watch the show that started at 1pm. Some of the animals like the sheep are in the barn with the pee and poop around them but it looks like soaking in pee and not too many hays. Some sheep you will see them outdoor. Our 5yo fed the horses. That was fun. We walk around and eat some of the food from the food truck. The restaurant has a long line.
To get there was a little bit of a hassle because we drove and didn’t have ETC to pay for the toll. They dont have card or cash option. I enjoyed seeing the scenic route even though it took us 3hrs instead of 1hr and 20 mins. We didnt purchase the ride around the farm which i thought it would be helpful.

It's a wonderful place and it seems like it's especially made for children, so I think it's a great place to bring the family. If you are lucky, you can watch your child chase a pig around. Watching children chase pigs seems to be a very popular event here. The place is very large and there is a lot of other things to do as well. My only advice is, if you want to take the tractor tour around the farm, you should get there right when they open and get your ticket right away. Space is limited and they sell out fast. The tours are every 30 minutes. Even if you get there a little late, you may have to wait several hours before a tour is available. Overall I think it's a great place and I still recommend it.
Hidden in deep Chiba. Good place to just enjoy with the family with activities such as Cow milking experience, small amusement rides, and other farm animal petting/feeding experience.
An incredibly comfortable glamping experience. We were fortunate to score the NZ Cottage which was similar to a hotel room stay, but with that glamp factor. Just a suggestion for the bedroom window near the roof to be curtained up...
The package comes with half boarding, and the bbq dinner is very well prepared for your cooking. We stayed during autumn, but the tent awning kept us warm during the cold windy night. The seafood option was especially tasty - we'll opt for it tomorrow.
Mother farm itself has many activities to occupy the family. Strongly recommended!!!
Went here last year the animal show was amazing. The trip alone going up a zigzag path reminded me of home. Highly recommend when flowers as blooming since it filled up the whole side of the mountain. If you are into glamping theres also a glamping site.
