Mother Farm, Futsu City, Chiba





On Saturday we took grandma to Mother Farm. We had visited here last year during the Golden Week holiday in Japan and decided that Grandma would definitely love this place. Mother Farm is located on some pretty high hills overlooking Tokyo Bay. On a good day you can see Mt. Fuji. We were able to get some great pictures of Fuji still covered in snow.


The first thing we did was head directly for the pig races. Here on the first round, Anna was not picked to run in the race. The crowds were just too huge. The second time around we were able to come back after lunch and get her in after another little girl had a shyness attack and gave up her spot in the race to Anna. I tried to get a video but since I was urging Anna on and not paying attention to the video, she is not in the picture very much.

We ended the day with the milking of the cow and then a great dinner in Kisarazu. According to the guide book, this restaurant is 110 years old. Needless to say, it was a great meal. Unfortunately, Anna slept right through dinner.
