# Mother Farm

A pushchair can be wheeled straight into the Fureai paddock, where the animals are not penned and you walk among them. On wet days they move into the barns, and the barns are open to walk through. They return there before closing, so a late arrival still finds them. Hand-milking a cow and touching rabbits and guinea pigs run at set times. Up the hill sit a funfair with a Ferris wheel and a zip line, and orchards for fruit picking.

## Family facts (value + conditions + source + verified date)

| Feature | Value | Conditions | Verified | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stroller friendly | Yes | Rentals at both information centres, ¥1,000 a day. Pushchairs can go into the Fureai Farm and the indoor show halls, though at busy times the halls ask you to use the marked parking spot outside. On the shuttle buses a folded pushchair is fine, but space is limited and you may wait for the next bus. The Mother Farm Tour DX does not take pushchairs at all — leave it at the rack by the Farm Station and carry your valuables. Stay with your pushchair around the animals: contact can knock it over. | 2026-08-15 (web) | [source](https://www.motherfarm.co.jp/service/kids/index.php) |
| Stroller rental | Yes (20) | Twenty A-type pushchairs, ¥1,000 per chair per day, for one child from 1 month to 48 months (up to 20 kg), at the Makiba and Yama-no-ue information centres. Numbers are limited and they may run out, so bring your own if you can. Rentals stop on the Golden Week dates 29 April and 2-5 May. | 2026-08-15 (web) | [source](https://www.motherfarm.co.jp/service/kids/index.php) |
| Nursing space | Yes (2) | Baby rooms sit beside both information centres, near each gate, with a nursing room, baby beds, a sink and a microwave. Hot water comes from an electric pot at the Makiba room and a water heater at the Yama-no-ue room. | 2026-08-15 (web) | [source](https://www.motherfarm.co.jp/service/list/index.php) |
| Diaper changing table | Yes | Baby sheets for nappy changes are in the multi-purpose toilets and the women's toilets across the site, and there are beds in both baby rooms. Nappies and wipes are sold at the two information counters while stocks last. | 2026-08-15 (web) | [source](https://www.motherfarm.co.jp/service/kids/index.php) |
| Family restroom | Yes (10) | Ten multi-purpose toilets around the site — Makiba car park, beside the Makiba shop, by the Fureai Farm, by the barbecue terrace, by the horse paddock, by the observation hall, inside FARM DINER, by the East orchard, at the Farm Station and by the dog run. All are wheelchair-accessible and have a baby chair and a baby sheet; two of them, beside the Makiba shop and inside FARM DINER, are fitted for ostomates. | 2026-08-15 (web) | [source](https://www.motherfarm.co.jp/service/list/index.php) |
| Outside food allowed | Yes | Two free rest areas, beside Makiba CAFE and on the first floor of the observation hall, can be used for eating. Three areas let you put up your own sun shade — Midori-no-hiroba and the spot in front of the card maze in the Yama-no-ue area, and beside Tonton CAFE in the Makiba area — though large tents and tarps are not allowed. Inside the restaurants, only baby food and allergy-safe food may be brought in. | 2026-08-15 (web) | [source](https://www.motherfarm.co.jp/service/list/index.php) |
| Steps & slope caution | Barrier-free | Almost all the walking paths are paved and take a wheelchair without trouble, but the site is hilly, with slopes, inclines and steps to take care on. Wheelchairs are lent free at both information centres, and a powered WHILL chair costs ¥1,000 for two hours or ¥2,000 a day at the Makiba centre. On the shuttle buses a wheelchair must be folded and the user able to climb the step with help. The Mother Farm Tour DX takes wheelchairs as they are — the third and last carriage of the tractor train has a ramp and a wheelchair space, two chairs per departure. | 2026-08-15 (web) | [source](https://www.motherfarm.co.jp/service/barrierfree/index.php) |

| Indoor / outdoor | Indoor & outdoor | A hillside farm walked outdoors, with indoor halls such as the Agrodome and the rabbit-and-guinea-pig house. On rainy days the animals of the Fureai Farm are in their barns, and the barns are open to walk into. They also go back to the barns 30 minutes before closing, and can be seen inside until the gates shut. | 2026-08-15 (web) | [source](https://www.motherfarm.co.jp/service/faq/index.php) |
