Forest of Wakatake Wakayama Farm

An extraordinary experience in a bamboo forest as far as the eye can see

Wakayama Farm is located in the northern part of Utsunomiya City with the Nikko mountain range behind it. The farm is vast, covering about 24 hectares. For three generations, the farm has been growing mainly bamboo shoots and chestnuts using a natural recycling farming method, based on the principle that "agriculture is all about soil cultivation.

The beautiful bamboo grove, which has been cared for by facing the bamboo and soil for generations, is a rare and unique space. Wakayama Farm opens its farm to the public in the hope that visitors will feel closer to bamboo, so why not take a walk through the bamboo forest and forget about everyday life?

In a forest, there are usually many different kinds of trees and many different scents. Unlike a forest, however, the bamboo forest here has only bamboo, so you only smell the scent of bamboo. This makes the air feel even cleaner.

Since this place has been used as a location for famous movies, it is good to visit while thinking about the movies.
Concerts and other events are sometimes held, so you may be able to have a special experience in the bamboo grove.

Wakayama Farm for everyone to enjoy

At Wakayama Farm, you can enjoy camping in a "field camp," setting up a hammock tent in a bamboo grove as far as the eye can see, and being surrounded by the sound of bamboo grass.
We have a full lineup of rental items so that you can enjoy your stay even if you don't have anything to bring. Hammock tents are tied between bamboos. They combine the comfort and floating feeling of a hammock with the security of a tent, and are popular with both beginners and experienced campers alike. If you take your family, it will be a valuable experience for your children to enjoy "camping in the wild," which is something they don't get to do very often.

In addition, Wakayama Farm has Wi-Fi that covers the entire area. Therefore, you can also telework in the bamboo grove!
Working while swaying in a hammock, surrounded by the sunlight streaming down through the trees and the sound of bamboo branches, is an experience that is hard to find. It is a rare experience to work while swaying in a hammock, surrounded by sunlight filtering through the trees and the sound of bamboo branches. You may even come up with new ideas in this unusual space.

Wakayama Farm offers not only a walk through the bamboo grove, but also many beautiful photo spots and various fun experiences. The "Hammock in the Bamboo Grove" is an experience where visitors can choose their favorite spot in the bamboo grove, set up a hammock, and relax while listening to the sound of bamboo bamboo branches.

The "Bamboo Cari" are also decorated and you will be enchanted by the extraordinary space in the daytime, but the "Bamboo Forest Light-up at Night" will fascinate you with the lighting up of the bamboo forest, which is different from the usual illuminations.

The wonderful thing about Wakayama Farm is that you can enjoy it in various ways depending on your situation: you can visit the photo spots with other women, or you can relax with your loved one and see the bamboo grove light-up together!
