Niseko Ostrich Farm (Daini Arishima Ostrich Farm)

At the foot of the graceful Mount Yotei, a vast ranch raises ostriches and cattle in open pastures. The surrounding area is designated as a scenic viewpoint in Niseko Town, known as "Furusato Viewpoint," offering spectacular views. Amidst the grand landscapes characteristic of Hokkaido, visitors can relax and enjoy the pastoral scenery of freely roaming ostriches and cattle. The spot is also popular for taking commemorative photos with ostriches against the backdrop of Mount Yotei.

During the grazing season, visitors can feed the ostriches at any time using vending machines (for a fee). The sheer size and presence of the approaching ostriches can be quite overwhelming when feeding them.

The farm also processes and sells products made from ostrich eggs and meat, handling everything from production to sales. The farm prides itself on its ostrich eggs, which are raised without any antibiotics that could negatively affect intestinal bacteria, and are bred through natural mating and free-range practices. These eggs boast one of the highest fertilization rates in Japan. The "Dorayaki Sand," made with these vibrant eggs, is a famous souvenir from Niseko Town.
