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.

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.
