The road leading to the farm is slightly winding and narrow. We didn't expect to see many people going to such a place which was on the outskirt of Tokyo but we were wrong. When we reached there, the car parks were crowded.
Prior to going there, we bought the entrance fee at special rate of 1350 yen at Lawson convenience store or one can even purchase them at other convenience stores.
We, a family with 2 teenage sons have much fun going round the farm to see the capybara, horses, rabbits, sheep, goats, ostrich, etc; amusement park with even a bungy jump; souvenir shops, shops selling foodstuff like cheese, milk, yogurt, ice cream, etc and BBQ stall of sausages and pork was yummy. There are pig and duck races too. So much to see, eat, enjoy and fun, half a day is not enough. Each season has its own attractions and beauty with the flowers blooming. We couldn't wait till 4.45pm for the full lights illumination as we have to get to the airport.
2. Mt. Nokogiri Ropeway

The ropeway station is located about a 10 minute walk from Hamakanaya Station (head out of the station and go straight until you see the main road by the water, turn left and walk until you see the large ropeway billboard and bear left).
The fee is 500 yen for a single trip up (or down) or 930 yen return. As I hadn't at the time considered returning from Nokogiri to Hota station by foot, I purchased a round trip ticket. Next time, I would purchase a single trip and start or finish with the ropeway.
The cable cars operate every 10 minutes and there was a reasonable number of commuters on a Saturday (you may have to wait for the next car). As each car can fit about 30 people, you may not get the best view on the ropeway which is a shame because it is magnificent. Each trip up or down takes about 5 minutes.

とても大きな公園の一番先端が、富津岬です。
そこには展望台があり、遠くまで見渡せるようになっています。
夕日の１時間前に行きましたが、海面にうつる太陽がとてもきれいでした。
堤防もあるので、そこを渡れば本当の先端まで行けます。
ここから見る夕日は、さぞかしきれいだと思うので、また行きたいと思います。

5. Tokyo Wan Kannon

Reviewed By yamanote - Tokyo, Japan
A slightly odd attraction, located on a mountain top overlooking Tokyo Bay, Tokyo Wan (Bay) Kannon is worth a visit for those visiting the southern Boso area of Chiba Prefecture or for those just looking for an unusual less traveled attraction.
Tokyo Wan (Bay) Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of mercy, stands 20 stories tall and commands a stunning view of Tokyo Bay. On a clear day the grounds offer one of the most beautiful views of Mt. Fuji, Tokyo Bay/Uraga sea passage, and sunsets over the Miura Peninsula.
Completed in 1961, the Kannon was build as a symbol of world peace. The giant statue can be entered for a fee of 500 yen, and a narrow circular staircase leads all the way to the top of the stature, a total of 324 steps. Along the way are alters to assorted deities, including the 7 gods of happiness.
The grounds also have a small restaurant and shop, serving light food and drinks.
Operating hours for the stature and visitor centre are 0800-1600 and the facilities close at 1700. Its ok to stay on the grounds later to see the sunset.
The closest station is Sanuki on the Uchibo line. Its a short 2km taxi ride to the Kannon. By car, its located close to the Futtsu Chuo exit of the Tateyama Expressway and is easily reached from the Tokyo Bay Aqualine bridge-tunnel.
Its best to combine a visit to Tokyo Wan Kannon with a visit to Nokogiriyama and the Tokyo Wan Ferry, located further down the Uchibo line towards Tateyama.

バスツアーの昼食で寄りました。食事は「カキなべ」でした。ご飯はセルフサービス。ささっと食べてお土産売り場へ行きました。「手づくりできたて工房見波亭」の「のこぎり山バームクーヘンを買いましたがとても美味しかったです。その他新鮮な海鮮が食べられる「まるはな」、お寿司は「船主」で食べられますよ。今回は見るだけでした。すぐ近くに東京湾フェリーの金谷港があります。

富津中央のインターより車ですぐの場所にある、高設栽培のイチゴ狩りの施設です。イチゴのビニールハウスが沢山あり、受付で代金を払い、手洗いをしてからイチゴ狩りをします。高設栽培なので食べやすく、年配者を連れて行くときにはとても便利です。ﾊﾞﾘｱﾌﾘｰ対応です。トイレも水洗式でとてもきれいです。しかし、ｺﾝﾃﾞｰｽﾐﾙｸは別売となります。

子供の頃、はるばる電車とバスで行きました。
でも、「猿が山へ帰って？しまい殆どいない」と言われ・・・。
金網越しに、ほんの数匹の猿を見ただけでした。
が、確か無料で餌を頂き猿にあげました。
入園料も無しにして貰えた記憶があります。残念でしたが、対応が良く良い想い出として時々笑い話になっていました。
今回、近くまで行ったので寄ってみました。
猿はちゃんといました（笑）
当時よりきれいになっている印象でした。

Situated in Kanaya (JR Hama-Kanaya Station) in Futtsu, Chiba Prefecture. The park is laid out along the bay area and is the ferry terminal as well. The park offers wonderful views over the Tokyo bay where one can see large ships passing by and the wonderful cloud formations over the bay. There is a large market area and some food joints as well.
It is a 15 minute walk from the JR Hama-Kanaya station on the Uchibo Line.

日帰りバスのミステリーツアーで「昨年、世界最大級になった●●●●●の見学」が火力発電所でした。恥ずかしいのですが富津に発電所があることも知りませんでした。個人ではなかなかいけない所だと思います。世界最大級になったのは５０４万ｋＷの発電量だそうです。広さは東京ドームの２５倍、発電所構内に観光バス（予め予約済）で乗り入れ、専任ガイドさんが乗り込んで約２０分間施設の中をゆっくり回りながら説明を受けました。構内は写真撮影禁止です。
発電所の建物、発電のしくみ、燃料となる天然ガスを入れるタンク、燃料を積んだタンカーの停まるところ等とても解り易く、大人の社会見学として◎でした。
見学当時は気が付かなかったのですが、ここも海のすぐ側にあり、地震や津波が来たら大変なところだと今は思います。日常の電気を使う生活を見直すきっかけになると思います。
