Watanabe Experience Ranch
Meet 120 Dairy Cows on the Grasslands of Mashu
Located near Lake Mashu, Watanabe Experience Ranch is a welcoming, family-oriented farm where visitors can interact with 120 dairy cows.
With a history dating back to 1955, the ranch is set on 70 hectares of rolling grassland at the foot of Mt. Mashu, offering a glimpse into everyday life on a working dairy farm. The popular “Cow's Udder Milk,” made with raw milk freshly milked that morning, is a special treat. Served chilled, it has a rich, mellow flavor and a subtly sweet aroma.
During the dairy farming experience, visitors can try milking and feeding the cows while feeling their warmth in the barn. There is also a refreshing tractor tour, where guests ride in a passenger cart pulled by a large tractor, enjoying the breeze as they travel across the vast grasslands. In the butter- and ice-cream-making workshops, visitors can watch fresh cream transform into butter and enjoy the simple pleasure of tasting what they have made themselves.
With opportunities to meet animals, make things by hand, and taste the results, Watanabe Experience Ranch is the perfect place for families to enjoy memorable farm experiences together.
