#Seasonal places in Japan #Amazing views Is this really Chiba?! A mystical view that will make you doubt your eyes. Introducing the Torozaka Daishi cut-through tunnel in Futtsu, Chiba Prefecture✨ When I was hooked on driving, I happened to stop by this spot in Chiba☀️There are many people touring there, and it seems to be a famous spot that only those in the know know about! On a clear day, if you go when the sun is rising (1pm-3pm), you can see a mystical view!

I would like to introduce Mother Farm in Chiba Prefecture. At Gensen Mother Farm, we are also holding an event to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Chiba Prefecture. First of all, our business hours are 9:30-16:30. If you are coming by train, there is a shuttle bus from Kimitsu Station, so please use it. It costs 720 yen, so we recommend going by car. At Mother Farm, you can touch alpacas, touch cows, meet sheep, and also understand the work of the zoo. At the shows, there is a sheep parade, a jeep show, and a piglet race. Of course, there is also a horse riding experience. There are also many delicious foods, such as Genghis Khan, soft serve ice cream, and steak, so why not try them? The soft serve ice cream caramel nuts were delicious! We also experienced strawberry picking, which changes with the seasons, and it was delicious! Mother Farm is definitely a tourist spot in Chiba Prefecture! #domestic travel #gourmet food #couple trip #gourmet trip #japan #chiba prefecture #mother farm

It’s a nice experience with nature and animals. The milk, dairy products such as cheese is so good and fresh at the shop in Mother’s farm. It’s located on the top of the hill, so you should avoid some windy weathering day. There is a huge farm with flower fields, mini zoo inside there and some adventure to play and feel the nature of Japanese farming. It’s quite far but a good place to visit. #motherfarm #japan #countryside #chiba

Gigantic statue of the Kannon (Goddess of Mercy) built on top of a hill in Futtsu, Chiba. The structure, designed by Masae Usami and built in 1961, is 56 meters high and provides views of the surrounding Boso Pennsula and Tokyo Bay. It was built as a monument to world peace and memorial blocks to this sentiment can be found surrounding the statue. You can climb the structure all the way up to the forehead of the statue, but the final two floors can only be accessed via a narrow stairway and ladders and only small holes in the wall provide any views. The better panoramas are provided by the arms of the Kannon where you can walk out and see the area behind white fencing. You will need your own transport to get to Tokyo Wan Kannon (東京湾観音), but the landmark is really only worth a brief stop over on the way to Mount Nokogiri or elsewhere.

Mother Farm is a theme park located near the summit of Mount Kinuki in Futtsu City, Chiba Prefecture.

It's a mountain, but you don't have to climb it^ ^ You can drive right up to the top of the mountain, and there's even a ropeway, so it's recommended for those who aren't very physically fit🏃‍♂️ It's called "Nokogiriyama" (Saw Mountain) because the top of the mountain is jagged like a saw! You can climb to the top and enjoy the view! There's also a thrilling spot that juts out from the mountainside and a large Buddha statue! You can get there in no time from Tokyo if you use the Aqualine🚗 What's more, it's faster to come from Kanagawa Prefecture than to travel within Chiba Prefecture⁈If you look closely at the map, you'll see that the area around Kanaya is very close to the Miura Peninsula, and it takes 40 minutes by ferry⛴ If you time it right, you can watch the sunset from the boat, so it's recommended🌅 #Chiba Prefecture #Amazing View #Futtsu City #Nokogiriyama #Spring Trip #Trip to Enjoy Spring #Ferry #Amazing View

Standing in the Minami Boso Quasi-National Park (Ōtsubo Mountain), the 56-meter-tall Tokyo Bay Kannon was built in 1961 by Masue Usami with the vision of world peace. The statue holds a jewel symbolizing prayers for a peaceful world, and its serene face reflects wishes for the happiness of all. From the top of the statue (the height of the crown), visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of Tokyo Bay. On clear days, Mount Fuji and the sunset are also visible, adding to the beauty of the scenery. Compared to the ground level, the breeze at the top is refreshing and pleasant.

Experience relaxation and joy at "Mother Farm," where nature and smiles come together. "Mother Farm," located in Futtsu City, Chiba Prefecture, is a "natural theme park" offering animal interactions, seasonal flower fields, breathtaking views, and delicious food. I visited on a sunny spring day and was first greeted by sheep leisurely grazing on grass. At the petting area, you can interact with goats and alpacas, bringing smiles to both children and adults alike. The "Flower Slope" within the farm features a stunning display of nemophila and rapeseed blossoms, creating a picturesque contrast of blue and yellow. The farm's unique gourmet offerings, such as soft-serve ice cream and Genghis Khan barbecue, are exceptional, and dining amidst nature adds a special touch to the experience. While there is an admission fee, the time spent enjoying animals and nature is worth far more than the cost. Whether you're traveling solo or as a couple, this is a place where you can unwind and enjoy a rejuvenating holiday.
