Eat, buy, play... `` IganoSatoMokumokuTezukuriFarm'' is like a ``food amusement park.'' You can spend a full day having fun.
On the spacious premises, there is a buffet at Papa Beer Restaurant lined with fresh local vegetables, bread from Wheat Factory with the aroma of freshly baked bread, parfait from Tomato Cafe topped with sweet and sour ripe tomatoes, and handmade ham made by artisans trained in Germany. Sausage, local beer made from malt on the farm, freshly squeezed Jersey cow soft serve ice cream, etc... Are there so many things you want to eat that no matter how many stomachs you have, it's not enough? !
There are many animals on the farm, including Jersey cows, horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, and miniature pigs, and you can try your hand at milking a cow or feeding a calf. The cute show by Gekidan Mini Buta is also popular.
There are lots of seasonal events such as popular handmade wiener classes, which are popular for their unique taste, wiener factory tours, bread and pie making classes, seasonal harvest experiences, open-air markets, and more! Some programs require reservations, so plan ahead so you don't miss your chance.
``Noten Mokumoku no Yu'' has three open-air baths with a rustic feel. Enjoy the benefits of ``Konohagakure no Yu,'' where you can admire the sky, ``Shiki no Yu,'' where seasonal fruits float, and ``Namagen no Yu,'' where you can soak slowly in lukewarm water. It's OK to use it for a day, but since you're here, you'll want to soak in the hot springs and gaze at the starry sky.
If you want to stay overnight, go to OKAERi Village. These cute cottages have unique names such as ``Pig and Toothbrush House'' and ``Strawberry and Bee House.'' If you wake up early and experience harvesting in the morning, you will feel refreshed.
The Marubashira district of IgaCity is dotted with potteries amidst the idyllic rural landscape of the mountain village. Iga-Yaki is characterized by its reddish-brown texture and beautiful green vidro glaze, and there are many unique pieces with ``unconventional beauty'', making it a fun pottery to choose from.
Established in 1832, Haseen has many buildings that have been designated as nationally registered tangible cultural properties, and the large-scale climbing kiln is a must-see. You can feel the Japanese tradition just by walking around. At Taishokan, where you can feel the romance of the Taisho era, drinking coffee from Iga-Yaki will warm your mood. I'm also happy to be able to purchase Iga-Yaki outlet products. The "Kiln Market" held on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th of May every year is also popular.
You can easily experience authentic pottery at the Iga-Yaki Traditional Industry Center. The journey takes 1 to 2 hours. Beginners and children alike, let's try!
"Gallery Yamahon" is a gallery where you can find beautiful pottery, crafts, miscellaneous goods, and art. It has a secluded atmosphere, like a hideaway, and the attached Cafe Noka also has a quiet and unique atmosphere. Drive slowly while admiring the Satoyama scenery so you don't miss anything.
The interior of the small cafe is clean and white, creating an artistic space that looks like an arrangement of a warehouse. It's the kind of place where you can indulge in a book while listening to the soft bossa nova music.
The rare cheesecake here has a high reputation through word of mouth, and you can enjoy the smooth, fluffy melt-in-your-mouth texture and crispy biscuit crust.
