Let's play with cute and fluffy animals!

Many animals live in Komorebi-Mori no Iba Ride, and you can observe and interact with them. It is a valuable experience to actually feel the touch and warmth of the animals' fur, which is something you cannot see just by looking at pictures. On weekends and holidays, events such as "photo shoots with owls" and "Usampo" are also held.

Fureai Farm

Horses, sheep, goats, donkeys, and other animals live in the peaceful "Fureai Farm," and visitors can purchase food to feed them. The horses and goats up close are quite impressive. The goats and alpacas grazing in the park sometimes come close to visitors, but they are very docile, so do not chase them or forcefully touch them.

Adults can also play! Big Playland

There are many activities in the park that allow visitors to enjoy nature and exercise their bodies. In particular, "Big Playland," one of the largest air playgrounds in Japan, which is available only on weekends and holidays, is very popular! Visitors can play using their whole body by bouncing and climbing over the 250-meter-long air athletic playground equipment. Even if you fall down, it doesn't hurt at all, so it's just a lot of fun! Of course, adults are welcome to use the course alone; it takes about 20 minutes for an adult to complete one lap, which is satisfying and a great way to get rid of the lack of exercise you get every day!
