Kitakitsune Farm (Fox Farm) — Attraction in Kitami

Very concerned about the "fox farm" and I do not recommend this place to anyone. First of all there were many signs telling what not to do but nothing about the red fox or why these foxes are even there. I asked and was told they just live there and reproduce. I was hoping it was a fox rescue or at the very least a place to learn and study the red fox. Upon entering there were a couple of foxes pacing as if looking for a way out. Then as we stepped into the the enclosure there are about 20+ young foxes in a glass enclosure. Some sadly just pacing back and forth. In my opinion way too many for comfort. Then we saw 2 very sad looking raccoon dogs in another glass enclosure. The outdoor enclosure was long but many were pacing and some looked very sickly and all were scratching. For me, it was a very sad...

Taken in feb during winter. Its a small fox zoo. Amazing place to get close to the foxes. There are racoon dogs there too.

Its opens at 9am to 4pm and admission fee is 500 yen for adults.

Once inside you got to keep moving there is one fox that seems to keep following you. The keeper mentions that its looking for food and will bite if we are not careful. However if rules are followed it seems fine. We just kept walking around and there was no issue.

Most of the other foxes were just minding their own business. Its quite interesting to note that they are quite active during winter. Keep a lookout and you will find foxes up on...

北狐牧場（北きつね牧場）位於北海道北見市，是一個專門保護和飼養北海道特有的北狐（Vulpes vulpes schrencki）嘅設施。牧場環境接近野外，無高圍欄或鐵線網，讓狐狸自由活動，營造出較自然嘅生態環境。遊客可以近距離觀察狐狸，但避免直接接觸，以免影響動物習性。

相比宮城藏王狐狸村，北狐牧場面積較細，但勝在狐狸更自由，冇被圍困係限定範圍內。不過，狐狸村提供付費抱狐狸活動，令遊客可以直接接觸狐狸，更具互動性，而北狐牧場則以觀察為主，較注重保持狐狸原始生活方式。如果鍾意純粹欣賞狐狸自然生態，北狐牧場會係個好選擇；但如果想更近距離接觸狐狸，藏王狐狸村可能會更適合。

The North Fox Farm (北きつね牧場) is located in Kitami, Hokkaido. It is a facility dedicated to protecting and raising the Hokkaido-native Ezo red fox (Vulpes vulpes schrencki). The farm has a natural environment without high fences or wire mesh, allowing the foxes to roam freely. Visitors can observe them up close but are advised not to touch them to maintain their natural behavior.

Compared to Miyagi Zao Fox Village, the North Fox Farm is smaller in size, but the foxes have more freedom as they are not confined within a designated area. On the other hand, Fox Village offers a paid fox-holding experience, allowing visitors to interact with the foxes more closely. While the North Fox Farm focuses on observing foxes in a natural setting, Fox Village provides a more interactive experience. If you prefer to appreciate foxes in their natural habitat, the North Fox Farm is a great choice; but if you want direct contact with them, Fox Village might be better suited for you.
