A Stunning Spring Sight in Chiba: The Yellow Nanohana Flowers at Mother Farm
Yellow nanohana flowers are currently adorning the hillsides at Mother Farm, a scene expected to last through early April! Flower fields aren’t all you’ll find here at this ranch-style theme park in the hills of central Chiba though, as you and your family can also enjoy interacting with animals in a beautiful and expansive natural setting. Visitors also flock here to get a taste of local dairy products, and some even try out different agricultural experiences like cow milking. Come this spring if you can, or visit any time of year to see the seasonal sights and meet the animal friends that await here at Mother Farm!

Footage from February 18, 2024 – so I would expect this year’s peak bloom to come soon.
Kangunzuka in Katsuura City, Chiba is one of my favorite local places to enjoy Kawazu cherry blossoms because it also offers a stunning ocean view. I took these videos on a visit there last year.
