History
Umakuta-no-sato opened on 21 April 2017. The name Umakuta derives from the Fukuta district in southern Kisarazu, evoking the rich nature and agricultural bounty of this hill-country area. Taking advantage of its position on National Route 410, it has established itself as a local farm-to-table hub for the Boso region.
Access
The station stands along National Route 410 in Kisarazu, Chiba Prefecture (roughly 35.36 degrees N, 140.05 degrees E). It is easy to reach by car from central Kisarazu or via the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line, and most visitors arrive by automobile.

Best season
It can be enjoyed year-round, but spring through autumn is especially lively when Boso produce is at its fullest. If you are coming for seasonal vegetables and fruit, timing your visit to the harvest season is most rewarding.
