[2025 Miyakonojo Attraction] Travel Guide for Takachiho Farm (Updated Mar)

One of our favorite spots in Miyazaki, Southern Kyushu - Takachiho Ranch💓💓💓 Here you can get close to cows, sheep and horses. For those of us living in the city, it is a great experience of nature! The animals are very cute and well-behaved 😛 The scenery of Takachiho Ranch itself is also beautiful and fascinating. The vast grassland makes people forget their worries and feel refreshed. There is also free milking experience on Saturdays and Sundays, but it’s a pity that I missed it this time. Of course you have to drink a bottle of ranch milk when you come here. Although it is available in supermarkets, the milk you drink at the ranch is the freshest and tastes the best😌A must try☺️ The transportation to the ranch is very convenient. You can take the Takasaki bus of Miyazaki Kotsu from Kirishima Jingu Shrine and arrive at Takachiho Ranch in 7 minutes. However, on the return trip, the bus was delayed by about 15 minutes🤫 －－－ Takachiho Ranch Address: 5265-103 Yoshinomoto-cho, Miyakono-shi, Miyazaki Prefecture #Japan Attractions
