A Campsite Where Stars Gather, Open for a Limited Summer Season
Nestled amidst a gentle breeze and lush forests, the expansive grasslands of Kokoro Farm in Chiba transform into "Ichibanboshi Village," a summer-only campsite, from Sunday, July 14th to Sunday, August 18th, under the full production of Taiyo to Hoshizora Circus.

For All Adults and Children with a Spirit of Adventure
Just about 70 minutes by car from Tokyo, Kokoro Farm in Chiba, a natural space surrounded by rich forests spanning an area equivalent to approximately 13 Tokyo Domes, awaits. Passing through a single forest road reveals a vast meadow, where a grand zelkova tree welcomes us. And at night, this place, where one can gaze up at a sky full of stars, becomes "Ichibanboshi Village," a "phantom world" for all adults and children filled with curiosity and a spirit of adventure.
Here, in addition to regular camping and auto-camping, numerous workshops, activities, and experiential programs produced by Taiyo to Hoshizora Circus are available. Weekends are packed with special events like a mobile cinema and live performances by musicians.
The opening event on Sunday, July 14th, will feature a stage performance starring Hiroshi Mikami. Attendees can experience Mr. Mikami's dramatic reading and a visual installation by director Hisashi Kikuchi under the beautiful starry sky.
Furthermore, on Saturday, August 17th, and Sunday, August 18th, a highly anticipated event for both adults and children to enjoy on equal footing,“Taiyo to Hoshizora Circus”will visit "Ichibanboshi Village."
Why not create some special summer memories with your cherished family and friends in this vast meadow, a short distance from the city?
