Daisen Makiba Milk Village sits on a highland about 650 meters above sea level. It is an easy place to slow down, watch the cattle, enjoy the open landscape, and try its popular soft-serve ice cream.
Arriving at the farm
The pasture spreads across the southwestern foot of Mt. Daisen. The day was cloudy and cool, which made it especially comfortable for walking around the grounds.
Cattle at rest
Holstein cattle rested quietly across the field, with farm machinery and the mountain landscape behind them.
Even with the summit hidden in cloud, the combination of pasture, cattle, and Mt. Daisen made this feel unmistakably like the highlands.
Soft-serve at the main building
The rich milk soft-serve is the classic finish to a visit. Opening days and hours can change with the season, so check the official information before traveling.
