About Koiwai Farm
A large-scale tourist farm with a history of over 130 years, it is also a place greatly loved by the historical figure of Iwate Prefecture, Kenji Miyazawa.
Details
Koiwai Farm is a large-scale comprehensive farm located at the foot of Mount Iwate, spanning the towns of Shizukuishi and Takizawa. It engages in various businesses including dairy farming, forestry, food production, and tourism. On its 3,000 hectares of land, approximately 2,200 dairy cows are raised, producing rich and high-quality raw milk, along with a variety of proprietary brand products such as butter, cheese, and yogurt.
The "Farm Park," which is open to tourists, is located in the central area of the farm and covers about 40 hectares. Visitors can participate in various experiential activities amidst the lush nature in front of Mount Iwate. One of the most popular activities is the "Tractor Sightseeing Tour," where guests can ride on a tractor, enjoy the breeze, and admire the forests, grasslands, and the iconic tree-lined path of the farm. This path has a history of about 100 years.
The farm also offers fun activities suitable for children, such as horseback riding experiences, feeding ponies and rabbits, and hands-on crafting. Additionally, there is a guided tour called "Exploring the History of the Cow Shed," which includes a visit to the "Kamimaru Cow Shed Group," designated as an important cultural property by the national government.
Don't miss out on the various delicious dishes made from farm products. These include Genghis Khan (a grilled mutton dish) made from farm-raised beef, special ice cream made from fresh milk, and pizzas baked with farm-produced cheese.
