Every day a flock of 150 sheep parades among the hills, led by sheepdogs.

Opened in 1962 on Mount Kinamida, on the Bōsō Peninsula, it is the largest leisure facility in Kanto, with about 250 hectares of pastures, flower gardens and rides. Every day a flock of about 150 sheep is rounded up and led by sheepdogs in the ‘great sheep march’, the park's best-known show.

A farm park opened in 1962 in Futtsu, Chiba, inside the natural park of southern Bōsō. It combines livestock farming, demonstration agriculture and a small amusement park.

ℹ️ Admission: adults (junior high and older) ¥1,800, children (4 years old to elementary school) ¥900. Opening hours are typically 9:00–17:00 on weekdays outside the summer months, longer in high season: check the official calendar. Served by buses from JR stations on the Uchibō Line; large car park for anyone arriving by car.
