With its lush greenery, clean air, and other natural advantages, Tochigi Prefecture has a thriving dairy industry. This farm is located in Nasu Kogen, one of the prefecture’s most popular tourist destinations. It is open year-round and admission is free.
Cows, sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, rabbits, and other animals live on the farm in environments that closely resemble their natural habitats. Visitors can interact with them through activities such as feeding and horseback riding. Other activities include rainbow trout fishing, archery, and miniature golf.
One treat not to miss is the farm’s signature Premium Soft-Serve Ice Cream. It is made with milk from Guernsey cows, a rare breed with only around 200 cows in Japan. The milk won the Grand Gold Prize at the National Local Milk Grand Prix and has been certified as a Nasu Brand tourism specialty. It has a rich, sweet flavor and creamy texture, followed by a clean finish. Beyond desserts, visitors can savor other farm-fresh dishes at the on-site restaurants, including juicy house-made hamburger steak prepared with fresh farm-raised beef and grilled lamb at the jingisukan restaurant.
The farm shop sells ice cream, yogurt, jam, and other products made with its prized Guernsey cow’s milk. These products are also available through the online store if you would like to order more.
