Takachiho Farm — Attraction in Miyakonojo

Really nice spot to escape the routine, it offers many activities which include, pony riding, sheep and goat petting and feeding, bouncy castle, picnic area, cow and other farm animals watching, bunny feeding, and there is a pavilion where they serve snacks and drinks including beer, as well as a restaurant cafe with a few more options to eat. There is a market where you can find very nice cheeses, I recommend the smoked ones, sausages are a good item to be consider. At the market you can find few deserts and cakes as well as omiyage and there Is a souvenir section with dozens of stuffed animals to choose from, and a small shochu counter honouring the local breweries. In my opinion the thinks you cant miss are the soft serve ice cream and the milk shakes. Important to mention that the toilets are impecable and provided with antibacterial soup that comes really handy after petting the animals, there are a lot of hand sanitizers around the entire place. There is a very nice area where warm water is flowing in which you can submerge your feet for a nice warm clean up while you enjoy a breathtaking view of kirishima mountain. Absolutely...

Fun experience. It was a shame I didn't get a chance to do the activities but it was nice going to see the scenery. They have 2 food places. One is like a food court with a good price point for food and the other is a restaurant still with a good price point but obviously the food court would be cheaper. I opted for the food court. The milk and the soft serve is a must try. It is absolutely delicious. You can also buy local produce in the store. I got some prosciutto for the car ride and I wish I bought more. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you...

We enjoyed the beautiful expansive scenery and sheep feeding at this charming farm.

For just 200 yen for a pack of snacks, we had a great time getting close to the sheep. If you visit, consider going on a weekend when activities like horse riding are available. Also, the milk ice cream there is a must try. But most importantly, the admission is free of charge. So you can't find any reason not to pay a visit.

P.S. Shout out to the helpful staff there to help us to call a taxi back to the station. It turned out calling a taxi there was much harder...
