This is one of the most favorite place i have been to in Hokkaido area. The farm is located in the middle of nowhere which was excellent. The freshness of the place really is so great. Less touristy area and not a lot of people come here. I consider this a hidden gem.
The food is amazing here. Local cooking style, farm style, and casual style. The selections of beef showcase the yumminess of Biei beef cooked in different style. You can also ask for a plate that features all the different cuts of the beef, or you can get japanese stew which is delicious. Always pair the beef with local Furano wine. Rose is best as I find red wine to be a little light, but still very good. If you dont like wine, just go for sapporo beer.
Definitely walk around the vicinity to see all the farm animals and play with them. They are mostly harmless. Just dont feed them random stuff. Do respect them and respect the japanese culture. I love the free range style farm. The llama looking animal is super cute. Take a selfie with him!
Most of the staff were very friendly too and the place is very clean.
Do buy some souvenir home. The biei beef jerky is an excellent choice. I love everything about this place. I must go back again!
Also if you are already on the way to Biei blue pond, you should stop by here. Its not...

After we’re done with the farm, we went back to the restaurant and ordered a steak and Hamburg. There’s a QR code on the table where you can scan and order through there with English menu available too.
Waited for 15-20mins and the steak was wonderful. Very nice and loved it a lot. The Hamburg was average though. But the underdog was clearly the bread and butter. Please do yourself a favour and order the bread instead of rice. The bread was AMAZING, you won’t regret it.
When I paid for the meal, I casually asked the cashier whether is it possible to buy the bread and butter but unfortunately it’s home made and they don’t sell it, that was my only real disappointment from...
Read morevery true experience from the comments! foreign travellers are treated very inferiorly at this restaurant! we arrived at around noon and there were many empty tables at ground floor, yet we were told to wait 30mins up and had to wait outside. So we were a group of 6 people with kids, the wait wasn't feeling quite right for us after 10mins in the hot sun, so we decided to tell them we are giving up waiting, guess what? tables were immediately available then! and we were asked to go to 2nd floor (only 1-2 tables are occupied at first floor).
while the food I think was okay, the whole experience was very unpleasant, I strongly advise foreigners not to come to this restaurant and seek food elsewhere, such a shame to the racist or whatever...
