Rokkosan Pasture, Public ranch at Mount Rokkō, Japan
Rokkosan Pasture is a public livestock facility on Mount Rokkō housing sheep, cows, goats, horses, and donkeys. The operation includes highland grazing grounds and an on-site cheese house where local cheese varieties are made.
This facility was established in 1975 and officially opened in 1976 after initial surveys were completed. It was built on Mount Rokkō to enable agricultural operations in this highland location.
The name comes from its location on Mount Rokkō and today it functions as a place where visitors can experience farming activities firsthand. You see people working with animals and practicing traditional crafts like wool processing here.
The best time to visit is during warmer months when animals are most active and all activities are available. The location sits on a mountain, so wear comfortable shoes and prepare for changing weather conditions.
Visitors can help make butter, ice cream, and caramel by hand, turning these into hands-on experiences. These activities vary with the seasons, so each visit can offer something different.
