In Bokka no Sato, there are various activities to experience like horseback riding, feeding horses and milking cows. Milking a Jersey cow is particularly popular! Although you can’t drink the raw milk you squeeze out, you can enjoy ranch-specific things like just squeezed Jersey milk and soft serve ice cream made from that Jersey milk.

Beautiful Flowers Painting the Vast Site
In the flower gardens, you can enjoy beautiful flowers of the four seasons such as tulips during spring, lavenders during summer and cosmos during autumn. Of the four seasons, spring is the best. You can see a beautiful spread of pink moss which is like a carpet laid down in the gardens, and diverse colors of 300,000 tulips of 30 varieties.

Bokka no Sato is Also Fun in Winter
Because Bokka no Sato is located at an altitude of 1,000 m, there is a large amount of snow accumulation and thus you can’t enjoy things like seeing flowers. Instead, thanks to the vast grounds, from December to March you can experience a snow activity like sledding or creating a kamakura (an icy room made by carving out a mound of snow). It is highly recommended to visit Bokka no Sato during winter as well, because you can have fun interactions with animals including milking regardless of the season.
