Chichibu Highland Ranch (Sainokuni Fureai Ranch)

Chichibu Highland Ranch, located in Saitama Prefecture, is a serene and picturesque ranch surrounded by nature. With easy access from Tokyo, it’s an ideal destination for a relaxing day trip. Once on the grounds you’ll find rolling hills dotted with cows entrusted by local dairy farmers, grazing peacefully and offering a soothing sight to visitors.

The ranch keeps a special corner called Sainokuni Fureai Ranch where you can meet furry friends like rabbits, goats, and fluffy sheep. You can also check the special showcases that detail local dairy farming or try for more hands-on fun like making your best dairy favorites with fresh milk.

For more tasty treats, try the special shops like Kato Ranch, known for its gelato made from locally sourced milk, and the Milk House, famous for its rich and creamy soft serve. Just be sure to know that these shops are only open on weekends and holidays during the months from April to November.

A bonus perk at the Chichibu Highland Ranch is its picture-perfect seasonal beauty. Book a trip from spring to early summer to find fields of vibrant poppies in bloom a gloriously green and cool retreat in summer, or the shimmering hues of foliage in fall. Look no further for a total reset in the arms of nature’s splendor.
