I had a salmon and avocado burger and an Admaya Japan (apple lemon) drink. The burger had herbs in the buns, which made it refreshing. The combination of salmon and avocado was classic! The potatoes were from Hokkaido and were deliciously sweet and fluffy. I wasn't expecting much from the cafe on the farm, but both the burger and the herb tea were delicious. The cafe also serves as the reception for horse viewing. After lunch, we received an explanation from the staff and got to see the horses on the farm. Tanino Gimlet, who won the Japanese Derby, also lives here. He was impressively muscular with amazing leg muscles, a really handsome horse! ✨

The day after a fun Seinai banquet, my friend took a day off and we decided to have lunch at Yogibo Versailles Resort Farm CAFE. We received a lecture on the rules and regulations at the cafe, including not feeding the horses, and then went to see the horses. It was nice to see retired racehorses living leisurely without having to earn money anymore. We returned to the cafe, took off our shoes, and ordered at the counter using a pre-payment system. I ordered the special hamburger with fries for 1500 yen, with an additional 200 yen for iced coffee. My friend ordered the same burger with a blend of orange juice for an extra 300 yen. We both wanted the cat set, but unfortunately it was not on the menu. While waiting, I went to get some self-serve lemon water, and our drinks were ready for pickup. The first impression of the burger was the thickness of the tomato slice (about 1.5 cm!), and the beef patty made entirely of Bira-tori beef was flavorful and juicy. Despite not being a large burger, the wax paper used was on the smaller side, so be careful of drips and spills. My friend ate it gracefully, so maybe I was just eating it the wrong way. Overall, opinions may vary, but it's worth following the rules, buying some goods, and supporting retired racehorses in a small way. On a sunny day, why not take a drive to meet the horses? Thank you for the meal.

I visited a cafe that seemed to have a great location where you can play with thoroughbreds while in Makkawa. The cafe is located in a spacious container cafe within a ranch. The food menu is limited, but there is a variety of drinks available. I ordered soft serve ice cream and my companion ordered a cafe latte. We sat at a table where a cat was sleeping on one of the chairs. It seems that there are Yogibo bean bags available, but I didn't see any on this day due to light rain. The horses were peeking out from their stables. The "Hokkaido-produced 100% milk soft serve ice cream" was a bit small but smooth and delicious with a good milk flavor. The cafe latte was served in a paper cup and my companion found it to be "just delicious." We wanted to walk around the stables after finishing our food and drinks, but it started raining heavily so we had to give up. It would have been more enjoyable if the weather was better. Horse lovers might still enjoy the visit. Thank you, Yogibo!

Despite the pouring rain, all 14 parking spaces were full. It's so popular here that it's impossible to come on a weekday before 2:30 pm. I heard that they were open on November 3rd, so I decided to visit. It was raining, but I went anyway. I thought it was a cafe, but it turned out to be a stable, with the black building at the back being the cafe. I couldn't quite figure out the opening hours from the website, so I went in the early afternoon. There are three four-person tables and one two-person table. There are two cats at the cafe, so be aware if you have a cat allergy. It was packed when I arrived around 1 pm. People kept coming one after another. Despite being in a remote area at the back of a ranch, it's a seriously popular spot. You need to check in at the cafe if you want to see the horses. For dining only, it's fine. I ordered the 100% Hokkaido beef hamburger with fries for 1,500 yen (drinks are extra). The burger was smaller than I expected, with a patty that was pure meat. It was delicious. It came with tomato, lettuce, and sliced onion. The fries were different from the photo, but still tasty. The burger felt a bit pricey with the drink, totaling 1,700 yen for this amount. They also offer Hokkaido 100% milk mini soft-serve for 300 yen. The normal size is 450 yen. They have milk, coffee, and mix flavors. I noticed a "White Strawberry Parfait" for 1,000 yen after finishing everything. They offer self-service lemon water. They sell carrots to feed the horses and raincoats for 400 yen. They also have merchandise like famous horse T-shirts and mugs. Sapporo Classic beer is available for 800 yen, but it's a bit expensive. This place is better for a sunny day to leisurely watch the horses. They have herbal teas named after horses like "Admire Japan (Apple Lemon)," "Rose Kingdom (Green Mineral)," and "Etakowo (Calm)" for 600 yen each. They also sell roasted coffee beans like "Tanino Gimlet Blend" and "Rose Kingdom Blend" for 1,620 yen each. I would like to revisit on a sunny day. Next time, I'll try the parfait or cake set. Thank you for the meal!

There is a ranch where retired horses can live, not just for breeding racehorses. There are many past G1 horses, so horse lovers will love it. Due to Admire Japan appearing in a Yogibo commercial in August, it gets incredibly crowded on weekends. I went on a weekday, but the parking lot was full and the cafe had long lines. The staff, who are not originally in the food industry, seem flustered. I gave up on the hamburger set with Bira-tori beef, which had a one-hour wait, and just ordered soft serve ice cream. It was probably not original, but it was delicious. I want to go see Tanino Gimlet again!

I wanted to go here, it's a cafe where you can have breakfast in front of a soba restaurant while watching retired horses. No reservation is needed. Menu items include coffee jelly for 600 yen and iced cafe latte for 600 yen. The cafe is a bit hard to find but located towards the back. Once you check in at the cafe, you can visit the horses for free. We shared a hamburger and sandwich among three people. The hamburger set uses 100% Hirauchi beef without any fillers, making it meaty and delicious. It comes with potatoes and a drink. The cat set includes a drink and a salmon and avocado sandwich with sliced onions and lettuce, making it light and crispy. Carrots are also sold for 300 yen. Even if you're far away, the horses will come running towards you. There are also cats and dogs around, with the dogs being friendly towards people. You can even experience horseback riding and meet the horses from commercials. The cafe sells various goods, and you can support retired horses by purchasing them. The cafe is run by a female staff who is very polite and makes you feel at ease. It's a relaxing atmosphere. I was very healed and would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

I didn't go anywhere for Golden Week, so I stopped by for a drive. I had the Nyanko Set for 1,000 yen (salmon avocado sandwich and a drink). I ordered a hot coffee. The salmon tasted really good, but I wish the avocado had a bit more flavor. Next time I go, I plan to try the strawberry parfait! I love horses, so the delicious food and interaction with horses provided a relaxing and healing time, washing away all my worries.

The cafe at the horse ranch serves a hamburger made with Hidaka beef that is incredibly juicy and full of volume. It is one of the most delicious burgers I have ever eaten, rivaling the top two. The buns are also special, made with Hidaka kombu, and all the vegetables are from Hokkaido, which is great. I was healed by a cat taking a nap in the sun, and I definitely want to come back here on my next trip.

I wanted to visit a place that I thought was related to Yogibo, but it turns out it's a ranch they are affiliated with. It's a ranch where retired horses live, and there were horses in various areas. There is also accommodation on the premises, but the exterior is simple. You can see the horses 360 degrees all day, with Yogibo bean bags available indoors. It's an accommodation on a Thoroughbred ranch. As you pass by the stables where the horses are, you will find a cafe at the end. I was a bit surprised by the simple exterior of the cafe made from a container, but the staff greeted me with a smile and the interior was a cozy space. There were also horse-related goods, and two cats were sleeping. Of course, the beds were Yogibo bean bags, luxurious (;・∀・) The menu consisted mostly of drinks with few food options. I chose the mini soft coffee mix. The coffee flavor was strong compared to the subtle taste of the white. They served lemon water in a nice glass, and it felt like they put effort into it. There were horses outside as well. When I tried to give them carrots for 300 yen, it started pouring rain, so I had to give up. There were horses, sheep, cats, and even a dog. It's a place that animal lovers would adore. The dog brushed against me, and the staff apologized and offered a service. It was a lucky encounter. This place is like the Palace of Versailles for animals. It was a fun place! I will go back on a sunny day for a rematch! A must-see for horse lovers! Thank you for the wonderful experience♡

After enjoying delicious cutlet ramen, I visited this cafe. I had no trouble setting the address on my car navigation system, so it must not be a new building. Checking the cafe's website, it seems to be located inside a ranch, with accommodation facilities available in addition to the cafe. This area has many ranches, and it is a peaceful place with not only horses but also cows. I had never driven on the road leading to the cafe, so I had no idea where it was. I found a ranch sign on the south side of a T-shaped intersection, but according to the map on Tabelog, the cafe is actually located on the north side, so if I hadn't checked the map, I would have been confused by entering the south side property. I drove about 100 meters north at the intersection and entered the ranch's premises. There was one car parked, so I thought the building opposite it was the cafe, but there was a sign at the entrance, and I realized that the cafe was actually on the opposite side of the stable. The shape of the cafe indicated that it was made using container houses. Inside the cafe, there were three other customers, but it was hard to tell if they were customers or ranch staff from their attire (laughs). There were two cats inside, and one of them was sleeping on a chair at a table seat. A young man and woman were running the cafe, and the male staff moved the cat for us. It's nice to have a cafe where cats can relax (laughs). After warming up with cutlet ramen, I felt like having something cold, so I chose the strawberry parfait, and my wife had a hot coffee. The strawberry parfait that came out seemed a bit small considering the price of 750 yen, but the soft serve ice cream was delicious. My wife's coffee was brewed by a coffee machine and she said it tasted good. However, the coffee cup was a paper cup, and the strawberry parfait came in a plastic container. It would make sense if it was for takeout or terrace seating, but it felt a bit underwhelming when enjoying it inside while watching the horses. Perhaps one of the reasons is that the cafe doesn't seem to have a large kitchen for washing dishes. I mentioned that I was confused because there was no signboard on the road, and it seems that they have received similar feedback before. In such cases, it is necessary to respond quickly with light footwork. Instead of commissioning a metal signboard from a professional, they could simply create a wooden handmade signboard and install it on the road. With spring coming, tourists who love horses are likely to visit, so I hope for a positive development in the future. Oh, by the way, my wife was puzzled when trying to pay with aupay. When I peeked at the screen to see what was wrong, it was out of service (surprise). Even though it's not deep in the mountains, au has no service there. The female staff kindly provided us with the Wi-Fi ID and password, so we were able to complete the payment (laughs).

You can enjoy a meal while watching horses in an antique-style interior. The potato in the hamburger was cold. The meat in the burger was tasty, but the flavor was average.

The cafe latte has a very ordinary taste. The location is good, so I would like to use it to take a break for a bit. The dogs and puppies are very cute here.
