Ikaho Green Bokujō, Ranch in Shibukawa, Japan.
Ikaho Green Bokujō is a ranch in Shibukawa set across rolling green fields where visitors interact with animals and engage in farm work. The property includes areas for various hands-on activities, including workshops for making butter and dairy products from milk processing.
The site opened in October 1970 as one of the first places in Japan to offer farm experiences to city residents. This marked a turning point in how urban Japanese people sought outdoor and agricultural activities for leisure.
The name Bokujō refers to pastureland in Japanese, reflecting how the land has been used for animal husbandry. You will notice how the daily rhythm of the property revolves around caring for animals and maintaining the fields.
The ranch is accessible by bus from Shibukawa Station, with services running on multiple days of the week. Wear comfortable clothes suited to outdoor work, since most activities take place in the fields with direct contact with animals.
Herding dogs regularly perform demonstrations showing how livestock are controlled and managed by animals trained for the task. These displays give visitors insight into the skills that were traditionally needed for animal husbandry.
