浅間牧場

It's just a large ranch. I wanted to see a cow, but I couldn't reach it. I tried again with shoes and clothes. It was too wide and I could see the cows grazing from a distance. I can't seem to get close without a guide. It's cold seasonally, so I want to go for a walk when it gets warm.

If you park in the parking lot and go up the hill a little, you can see Mt. Asama and the magnificent scenery. The top of the hill is a large lawn. Very good for a walk. The soft serve ice cream is delicious, and the restaurant is also delicious. It's a hidden spot

It feels very good on a sunny day. There is a space in the foreground where small animals can be fed, and I often stopped by when my children were small. If you go up the hill in the back, there is an observatory, overlooking the surrounding mountains. (However, there are no cows.) There is also a tree that was the setting for old movies. If you have time, go to the mountain in the back and you will see cows grazing and stag beetles in the morning. Dragonflies are flying and it is a ranch that children will love.

A ranch at the foot of the mountain. There were no cows on the ranch, and there were some goats, sheep, and rabbits in the hut. You can also feed. It's disappointing to come to the ranch, but the view from the top of the mountain is the best. You can spend a relaxing time with a panoramic view of Mt. Asama. You can have a rest at the ranch teahouse where you can eat ice cream and drinks. It is a good facility for families with children.

At a ranch operated by Gunma Prefecture, we take care of calves from dairy farmers in the prefecture and raise them. Even in the summer, there are various well-maintained hiking trails around this ranch, which is relatively cool, so it is a recommended place for families, families with children (preschoolers to lower grades of elementary school), and those who want to walk well. is. First of all, if you have children or an elderly family, drive to the "second parking lot". We recommend that you stop. In addition to a wheelchair-accessible parking space, the second parking lot also has a wheelchair-accessible restroom. Before entering the parking lot, there is a tire disinfection tank, but it is shallow (about 10 cm deep), so please pass through with confidence. During the grazing period (from mid-May) You can see cows at the ranch in front of the parking lot. (When heading to the ranch, thoroughly disinfect the soles of your shoes with the lime at the entrance to the parking lot.) Even outside the grazing period, there is a high probability that cows can be seen in the barn on the way from the second parking lot to Tenmaruyama (a little less than 1km from the second parking lot, so even children can walk). (It may not be available.) Even if you can't see the cows, the area around the second parking lot is a place where children can enjoy themselves. On the hill on the north side of the parking lot, there is an eastern house and a bench, and it is a little open space, so you can run as much as you want. You can search for insects unique to the mountains (Camponotus japonicus, Lethe sicelis, etc.). For those who want to walk a little harder, we also recommend enjoying the round trip to Tenmaruyama. Tenmaruyama is not a so-called "mountain" but a small hill, so if you are an older person or an elementary school student, you can walk enough. If the weather is nice, from the top of Mt. Tenmaru, You can see Mt. Asama well. (There is a sign for bear appearance information. If you walk alone, don't forget to use a bear bell to appeal your existence.) Furthermore, the number one recommendation is For a limited time, a local guide (Geopark guides at the northern foot of Mt. Asama) will guide you through a "tour inside the ranch". (A ranch version of a "backyard tour" at a zoo or aquarium?) In the center of the ranch, which is normally not accessible, you can enjoy the vast scenery that you can't imagine in the mountains of Gunma, and you can hear interesting stories about this land. It seems that a tour is held every weekend (Saturday and Sunday) in August. (Details are introduced on the official website of the Geopark at the northern foot of Mt. Asama) It is a place where you can enjoy not only summer but also autumn leaves, winter scenery, and the breath of spring.
