`` YokkaichiCityFureai-Farm'' where you can interact with animals in nature and experience dairy farming, and ``Yokkaichi Sports Land'' where you can get your body moving with athletics in the mountains. The two are about 5 minutes away by car, so it's a spot you'll want to visit together when you visit! Here are some points that both families with small children and adults can enjoy!

When many people hear the YokkaichiCity, they probably think of the impressive Yokkaichi Port industrial complex and the cityscape.
However, there are also plenty of spots where you can play in nature, such as moving your body in a lush green area or relaxing and interacting with animals!
This time, we invited a 1st grade elementary school student, his 4-year-old brother, and his mom who want to play with energy to play at two spots: "YokkaichiCityFureai-Farm" and "Yokkaichi Sports Land"!

Here you can see and interact with adorable and cute animals.
As you walk towards the store from the parking lot, you will see a ``Small Animal Play Area'' with goats, sheep, ponies, miniature pigs, and more. Children will be excited to see the animals up close! I approach it and call out its name.

The children were a little nervous as they approached the large cow, but the cow was calm, so they felt safe.
Today's cow was 4-year-old Tyrol, who is said to have a gentle personality. First, I gently stroke it to say "Nice to meet you!"

A spot where you can enjoy indoor and outdoor activities filled with nature, such as athletic courses and super slides.
First, experience the athletic course built in the mountains, which is about 1.2 km long and has 30 points of wooden play equipment! There are ups and downs, so you can feel like you are trekking.
When you experience it, it feels like it's much longer than 1.2km! ?

Wooden play equipment comes in a variety of types and difficulty levels.
Clear the first “crossing stick” easily!

Young children can also choose challenges according to their level of difficulty.
However, if you are with an adult, most of the play equipment is flat!

On the way, Mom was a bit nervous, saying, ``I can see the bottom through the gap in the trees!'' It's quite a thrill even for adults.
This athletic course is enjoyable not only for families with children but also for adults, and a lap around the up-and-down course will keep you warm even in winter.
It's good exercise while having fun.
In the past, there was even someone who completed seven laps around this course!

The sensation of sliding down is so addictive that you'll want to try it again and again.

Children are excited to see the large and realistic dinosaurs!
Recommended for a short break. Once you clear the course, you will feel a sense of accomplishment! The children also seemed to have fun with the thrilling play equipment, which was different from the usual parks.
Everyone did their best!

This is a "super slider" that slides down a winding course with a total length of 150m.
It's like a roller coaster and extremely exhilarating! You can adjust the speed with the bar at hand, so you can enjoy it at your favorite speed.
The older brother was also excited, saying, “That was fast! Let’s try again!”

YokkaichiCityYokkaichiCity has a strong image of being an industrial city, but the western part of the city is full of nature. YokkaichiCityFureai-Farm is a dairy cow breeding farm surrounded by nature in the Mizusawa area, which is a tea producing region. You can also enjoy milking a cow and a butter making class (reservations required). You can also interact with small animals such as miniature horses and goats. There is a shop in the administration building where fresh milk, yogurt, and ice cream are sold.
