大笹牧場, Mountain ranch in Nikko, Japan.
Ozasa Ranch operates in the Kirifuri Highlands at roughly 1300 meters elevation, where visitors can purchase fresh dairy products and interact with grazing cattle. The property includes a restaurant, small shop, and grassy areas where animals roam freely.
The ranch was established to raise Brown Swiss cattle, a breed selected for producing milk with higher fat content and richer flavor. This choice of livestock shaped the type of dairy products made on site.
The restaurant serves Genghis Khan meals, a Japanese take on grilled meat cooked at your table with regional vegetables and sauces. This style of dining has become a local favorite at the site.
Visit early in the day to see the animals most active and avoid crowds later on. Bring comfortable walking shoes since the pasture paths can get muddy after rain or morning dew.
The ranch makes specialty dairy items such as custard pudding and milk waffles using milk from its own herd. These products are sold through an online store and local shops, reflecting the quality of milk produced here.
