I went to Koiwai Farm Makibaen in winter❄️ Normally, there is an admission fee, but in winter it is limited (February 25th to March 18th in 2022). In winter, it becomes a snow land, and children can enjoy sledding☺️ It was extremely cold, but since I came all the way to Koiwai Farm, I had their famous soft serve ice cream🍦! It's made with fresh milk, so it's super fresh! It was cold, but I'm glad I ate it♫ 📍36-1 Maruyachi, Shizukuishi-cho, Iwate-gun, Iwate Prefecture, 020-0507 #KoiwaiFarm #SoftServeIceCream #trip2022

The weather was clear and I could see far into the distance, so the scenery was amazing! Speaking of farms, it's soft serve ice cream! I don't usually eat cold things, but when I tried it, it was so delicious that I could easily eat two! There is also a steam locomotive preserved on the premises, which is reminiscent of Night on the Galactic Railroad. (Because it is a place associated with Miyazawa Kenji) Unluckily, I didn't get to see any cows, but I had a great time!! #SummerShortTrip

The area around the farm is also a tourist attraction because it has a variety of nature in all 4 seasons. The farm organizes various activities.

Visited during autumn. It is a very large farm. There is a small area for taking pictures. The buildings and places look shabby and old, but they are clean. Surrounded by mountains and nature. When I went, it seemed like many shops were closed. It looked quiet and there was nothing much. There were few animals to see. The rabbit area was very smelly. Went into a milk and yogurt shop to try milk, yogurt, and ice cream. It was delicious, fresh, and very fragrant. The milk was smooth. Anyone who comes here must come and eat. Walking around, there were not many activities. Went to eat lunch at a barbecue restaurant. There was beef, lamb, and a set menu. The beef was delicious, but the lamb was very tough. I couldn't chew it. If anyone comes, I recommend ordering beef. It is much more delicious. Overall, anyone who is free can come and visit, but it is not a place you must come to. If you can, skip it.

This is probably the most famous farm in Japan. Koiwai Farm. It is located in Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture. From Morioka Interchange, it is about a 2.30-minute drive on the back roads. The farm itself is said to be the largest in Japan. The area that can be visited has also expanded considerably. There were three very good points. 1. You can do archery 2.

I went to Koiwai Farm. This facility itself is a cultural asset. The fact that it is still operating as a cowshed is a truly precious cultural asset. In addition to the exhibition room, you can visit cowsheds 1 to 4. I took a look around, and there were so many dairy cows. Everyone was so relaxed, it was like time had stopped. You can enter this facility directly, but if you buy a ticket at Makibaen, you can also get a ticket to enter the farm. I recommend entering Makibaen first. #DomesticTravel

Fresh milk on the farm, absolutely fresh, and the whole person is warm. Especially suitable for a family size to play.
