Takachiho Farm
Meet the animals against a spectacular scenic backdrop!
This tourist farm spreads across the foot of the Kirishima mountain range. Overlooking majestic Mount Takachiho, its expansive 42-hectare grounds offer animal encounters, dairy farming activities, and farm-fresh food. Opened in 1991 as an interactive tourist farm, it has become one of southern Kyushu's most popular tourist attractions.
The farm is home to Jersey, Guernsey, and Holstein cattle, as well as sheep, horses, and other animals that visitors can meet up close. In addition to touring the cowsheds and pastures, there are plenty of hands-on activities, including horseback riding, milking cows, and making butter.
Farm-fresh food is another highlight. Be sure to try the soft-serve ice cream and cups of milk made with the farm's carefully produced milk, as well as the restaurant's jingisukan grilled mutton. The shop also carries a range of original products, including dairy products, handmade bread, and sausages, making souvenir shopping part of the fun.
After a full day of activities, take a relaxing break in the natural hot spring footbath, which is filled with cold water in summer.
