Experience Milking Cows and Making Butter at a Farm on Awaji Island

"Awajishima Ranch" is a tourist ranch where you can learn about the importance of dairy farming by enjoying activities like "milking cows," "making butter," and "feeding milk to calves." There are plenty of activities to enjoy in nature, such as the "Pony Merry-go-round," where you can ride ponies (children aged 4 and over and weighing less than 30 kg only). On weekends, the ranch is bustling with families from all over Japan. In the spring of 2025, a newly renovated restaurant will open with seating for 200 and facilities for groups, serving Kobe and Awaji beef in a variety of dishes such as yakiniku, steak, sukiyaki, and shabu-shabu.
