closed Tuesday (Open on public holidays)
A surprising restaurant and natural playground
Fureai Farm in Ayabe is a ranch facility with free admission, located about 5 minutes by car from downtown Ayabe. You can feed goats and rabbits (100 yen), spend time relaxing with cats on the cat farm, interacting with animals, exploring the forest, and running around the lawn. The restaurant [Heidi's kitchen] serves the ranches specialty, roasted meat. You can order meat separately or barbecue on your own on the terrace or inside the restaurant. If you make a reservation, you can also enjoy a full-fledged BBQ (starting at 2,800 yen) in the private space of our cottage. Additionally, we have soft-serve ice cream made from rich jersey milk, shakes using ripe strawberries from Ayabe, stews, fries, and rice bowls.
from the chef:
When I took over here 10 years ago, the lawn was full of weeds. When I was at a loss, I met four abandoned cats. When I created the “cat farm,” people started coming just by word of mouth. Since I was already in the restaurant business, I opened a restaurant mainly for local delicious foods. Over time we have received animals such as rabbits and goats, and now here we are. There is also a “Heidi swing” and buggy (500 yen for 15 minutes). I think we’ve created a place where even adults can spend their whole day playing.
