Family trip to Heidi Farm. Experience feeding baby goats, see various animals, ride horses... While exploring the farm, we climbed up a slope and found something interesting. It's the Cafe Train Clara at Heidi Farm (Naganuma Town). - About Heidi Farm... Website available ⇒ http://heidi-farm.com/ - There are 2 dining options. This time, we didn't do any research beforehand, but later found out that there are the following 2 options: 1. Cafe Train Clara 2. Genghis Khan BBQ Pavilion - Inside the store. The interior resembles a train with tables between facing seats. - Order. Noodles, udon, ramen, grilled rice balls, and more food items. Hot and cold drinks include coffee, milk, cocoa, etc. Special farm menu includes Sausage Assortment (3 types) for 250 yen, Focaccia Sandwich with a drink for 500 yen, Pumpkin Potage for 200 yen, Soft Serve Ice Cream for 250 yen, and more. - Our order this time. We ordered noodles and the Sausage Assortment from the original menu. Purchased from a ticket machine, got a number, and waited at our table. The view outside is serene and peaceful, making it a nice place to relax. - Enjoy your meal. The miso ramen for 550 yen, udon for 420 yen, and tempura soba for 470 yen were decent. The Sausage Assortment was reasonably tasty. The location and atmosphere made the dining experience enjoyable. - Bonus 1. You can borrow a kite at Clara. There is a kite flying area in front of Clara where children and families are having fun flying kites. The pleasant breeze makes it easy to fly kites, and kids quickly get the hang of it. - Bonus 2. Enjoy the Heidi Fortress adventure maze and park golf on the vast lawn. The kids had a great time playing. - Thank you for the meal. This time we visited Clara, so next time at Heidi Farm, we'll try the Genghis Khan BBQ Pavilion. Thank you for the meal, we'll be back.

It's been a long time since I've seen a review like this (laughs). Look, touch, and enjoy the animals and nature to the fullest! Educational farm, petting farm, experience farm, Heidi Farm, there are so many options it's easy to get lost. Let's have fun together! The history of Heidi Farm - This Heidi Farm was established in 1970 as the beef cattle division of Kanekawa Farm in Yasutaira Town, Yufutsu District (raising 400 dairy cows and 50 beef cattle). The dream of the farm owner was to start collecting livestock breeds on this 100-hectare land, improve the beloved livestock, and preserve the significance of the breeds. Cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, birds, and other breeds were housed and exhibited in each livestock barn. This division was opened to the public as Heidi Farm in 1976, and later became widely known as an educational farm, petting farm, and experience farm. The information was obtained from a flyer distributed after purchasing the entrance ticket. As for the Golden Week, everyone is in high spirits. Even some old men are happily singing yodeling songs, that's how joyful they are. Why would an old man like me be at Heidi Farm during Golden Week? Where even is Heidi Farm? A normal reader would naturally have these questions. Correct, let me explain. The purpose is one - to experience feeding baby goats, that's it. During Golden Week, there are many opportunities to touch baby animals born in the spring at various facilities. For example, at Fuji Safari Park, you can hold and take photos with lion cubs. Similarly, at bear farms, you can hold and pet bear cubs. I have had experiences in the past such as holding lion or cheetah cubs for photos, or being licked by bears, which led me to where I am now. Baby goats and lambs are fed three times a day - at 11:00, 14:00, and 16:50. I arrived at the park around opening time and fed sheep, pigs, cows, rabbits, made and ate cottage cheese (actually, it's cottage cheese, not tofu, haha), and tried sheep wool processing to pass the time. The baby goats and lambs in the morning were very hungry and would rush towards anyone holding a feeding bottle. They are so cute and desperate as they suck on the bottle, it's hard to describe their cuteness. You must make the most of such an opportunity. This farm can be broadly categorized into "Animal," "Play & Adventure," "Learning & Experience," "Romance," "Camping," and "Gourmet." While it may sound impressive, the reality is not that grand. The gourmet options include a shop near the entrance, a shop near the horse riding (pony riding?) area, an unmarked shop near the park golf course, and the main "Genghis Khan BBQ" (Heidi Course [3-4 servings] @ 3000 yen, Clara Course [5-6 servings] @ 4500 yen, Genghis Khan all-you-can-eat @ 1700 yen, BBQ all-you-can-eat @ 2500 yen, etc.).
