Its lush greenery and quiet calm make it feel like you’ve stepped into a story. This one-of-a-kind, breathtaking bamboo forest is also frequently used as a filming location for movies and commercials. Cosplay photo shoots are welcome too, so if you’re interested, apply in advance via the reservation form.

The Bamboo Forest at Wakayama Farm is truly soothing.
The bamboo sways gently, and the sound of the wind feels so soft.
Walking through it naturally makes you slow down. You don’t have to think about anything—just being there feels so comfortable.

At first I thought it was just a place that sold towels, but it turned out to have way more to see than I expected. You can watch how towels are made, and it was pretty educational.

The meat is super fresh and there's a lot to choose from. When grilled, the fat is just right—not too greasy. Pairing it with the side dishes makes everything go down smoothly. The staff are really friendly, too. It's a great place for a meal with friends or family. Eating lots of meat here is so satisfying.
