Agri Park, Educational farm in Niigata, Japan.
Agri Park is an educational farm in Niigata that combines areas for agricultural training, livestock interactions, cooking workshops, and hands-on farming experiences. The facility also features accommodation cottages, a restaurant serving regional dishes, and a direct sales market selling products from local farmers.
The facility opened in 2014 as Japan's first public educational farm of its kind. It was developed as a major initiative to bring practical farming education to the general public.
The park brings together local farming practices through activities like vegetable harvesting and making pizza with regional ingredients that visitors can participate in. These experiences reveal how the community connects with seasonal rhythms and the land.
The site is easily accessible with wide pathways that allow comfortable movement throughout the grounds. Visitors should wear comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes since you will spend time outdoors and interact with animals and soil.
Students from nearby schools come here to learn farming techniques, milk cows, and feed goats and sheep. These regular visits make it an important learning place for young people in the region.
