A Sunflower Paradise at Narita Yume Bokujō
Visiting Narita Yume Bokujō in the first week of August was an enchanting experience. The farm boasts two distinct sunflower fields. The first, adorned with shorter sunflowers, was nearing the end of its season with many having dried up. However, the second field, filled with tall sunflowers, was a sight to behold. The vibrant yellow petals against the clear blue sky created a picturesque scenery that left an indelible mark on my memory.
For those wishing to immerse themselves in the tall sunflower field, there's a nominal entrance fee of 300 yen. The best part? You can re-enter as many times as you'd like throughout the day.
The farm itself has an entrance fee, but it's well worth it. Not only are you greeted with a plethora of handmade products, but there's also a delightful array of food options. From scrumptious pizzas to delectable desserts, there's something for every palate. A special mention goes to the sunflower genjer ail, a unique and tasty treat that's a must-try.
Narita Yume Bokujō is a family-oriented destination, offering a range of activities that both kids and adults can enjoy. Whether you're a sunflower enthusiast or just looking for a fun day out, this farm has something for everyone.
There are multiple shops to buy souvenir, plushie, food, and other items to remember the trip.
A few practical tips: there's ample parking available, making it convenient for those driving down. However, having a car is essential as the farm is a...
Read moreWe’ve been here three times now, each time during Golden Week, and the overall experience has gotten better with each year past the Pandemic restrictions. There’s lots and lots for kids to do at this farm. The animal petting areas are especially nice. The one disappointment this time around is that the “Turf Slide” (芝すべり) was resurfaced with a new type of artificial grass, and it’s noticeable slower and less slippery than it used to be, to a degree that kids are coming to a complete stop only halfway down the hill. Arguably, the Turf Slide is one of the biggest draws for kids, so it’s a bit disappointing to see that it’s been sort of ruined by the renovation. Another big detraction for the farm is that the majority of food services (restaurants, etc.) close up a full hour before the park closes, with last orders happening 30 minutes prior to that. This is particularly inconvenient when guests have hungry kids who’ve had a busy day exploring attractions. Otherwise, the entire family should be able to find lots of interesting...
Read moreIt's not every day that you get to experience what it's like to live on a farm in the countryside. But I got to do just that at Narita Yume Farm. People can go inside the animal enclosures, and I was shocked at how friendly the animals were. Those cute goats and sheep came right up to us, almost like pets! There are also spots where you can buy food and feed the animals from outside the gates. From there, we went to the "Usafuwa" rabbit room. The rabbits are free to go anywhere in the room, and you can lure them close with treats. Those balls of fluff were very gentle, so we had a great time earning their trust enough to pet them. There's pizza, pasta, and all sorts of Japanese food, but if you only have time to try one thing, I can't recommend their hand-made ice...
