The 50 Best Farms to Visit in Japan, Ranked (And the Famous Names That Didn't Make the Cut)
Updated: 4 days ago
In 1973, the fragrance company buying Furano's lavender oil stopped buying. The lavender fields of Furano, in Hokkaido, faced extinction. At Farm Tomita, the family kept theirs alive on rice income.
Then, in 1976, Japanese National Railways (JNR) put a photo of those purple rows in its national calendar. Photographers came. Then tourists. A failing oil crop became one of Japan's most famous farm visits.
So what are the best farms to visit in Japan today? Our top five are Kyoto Obubu Tea Farms, d:matcha Kyoto, Farm Tomita, Coco Farm & Winery and the Maruyama Senmaida rice terraces. The full 50, with prices, seasons and maps, are below.
The short answer: The best farms to visit in Japan, ranked on a 100-point scorecard, are Kyoto Obubu Tea Farms (Kyoto), d:matcha Kyoto (Kyoto), Farm Tomita (Hokkaido), Coco Farm & Winery (Tochigi) and Maruyama Senmaida Rice Terraces (Mie). Every farm on this list held 4.2+ Google stars from 100+ reviews on 5 November 2026. Strawberry season runs mainly January to May (some farms open in December), cherries peak in June, and grapes and apples fill August to November. No farm paid to be here. |

Map of the 50 Best Farms in Japan
Every farm below ends with a Google Maps link, so you can check hours, directions and the latest reviews before you go.
Chubu, which includes Yamanashi's grape country and Nagano's orchards, leads with 11 farms. Hokkaido, Kanto and Kansai have seven each.
How We Picked and Ranked These Farms
We reviewed 196 farms across Japan. Only 50 made the list. Here is exactly how.
The three entry tests
Every farm had to pass all three:
Open to the public. Set hours or bookings, and still operating in 2026.
Proven by visitors. At least 4.2 Google stars from at least 100 reviews.
A real working farm. Visitors see crops or animals being raised. A shop, café or ice-cream stand with a farm theme does not count.
Here is the one change we made for Japan. On our US lists, the bar is 4.3 stars. For Japan we lowered it to 4.2, because, in our experience, Japanese Google reviewers give lower stars than American ones. This is a Japan-only adjustment. It does not apply to our other lists.
Of the 196, 128 cleared the star and review bar. Of those, 26 failed the working-farm test or could not be confirmed as working farms, and one was removed for an animal-welfare red flag. We scored the remaining 101 and picked the top 50, using the balance rules below.
The 100-point scorecard
Google stars, 25 points. A sliding scale: 4.2 stars scores 0, and 4.9 or higher scores the full 25.
Popularity, 15 points. The number of reviews, on a scale that stops a 10,000-review giant from crushing a 400-review gem.
Press and awards, 15 points. National media and international prizes count most.
The experience, 15 points. How much you can actually do: picking, milking, tours, workshops, stays.
Recent reviews, 10 points. Is the last year as good as the overall score?
Story, 10 points. A century-old family farm, a rare crop, a mission.
Value, 5 points. "Worth every yen" versus "tourist trap".
Ease, 5 points. English, clear prices, booking, access.
The balance rules
Every region of Japan is covered, from Hokkaido to Okinawa. No single type was allowed to take over: we capped strawberry farms at 10, dairies and ranches at 10, wineries at 6 and rice terraces at 3.
Ratings were checked on 5 November 2026. We will recheck every six months and drop any farm that closes or falls below the bar.
No farm paid for a place, and none ever will. We don't print each farm's star number, because it changes week to week. Each Google link shows today's figure.
We've used the same method for our ranked lists of the 50 best farms to visit in the United Kingdom, Texas, California, Georgia, Florida and North Carolina.
Reality Check: A famous name is not a guarantee. Some of Japan's best-known farms, with thousands of reviews, sit below our 4.2 bar or turned out to be a shop rather than a farm. Big crowds can drag down the experience. You'll find them, and the reasons, in "The Famous Names That Didn't Make the Cut". |
Why Farm Tourism Matters So Much in Japan Right Now
Japan's farmers are running out of time.
A government survey taken on 1 February 2026 found that core farm workers had fallen below 1 million for the first time: an estimated 986,600. Their average age is 67.7. Only 1.2% are under 30, and 35.3% are 75 or older.
The number has more than halved since 2010, when it was 2.05 million.
Money is thin too. In 2024, the average farm business in Japan earned a farm income of just ¥1.69 million, about US$10,700 at roughly 157 yen to the dollar (US Federal Reserve, 30 October 2026).
Visitors are part of the answer.
Japan's tourist farms, where visitors pay to pick or view crops, sold ¥39.1 billion in FY2024, up 4.9% in a year. The 2020 Census counted 5,275 farms running one. That works out to a rough ¥7.4 million each, but treat that as an indicator only, because it mixes a 2024 sales figure with a 2020 farm count.
Farm stays are growing even faster. The government calls them nohaku, meaning "farm, mountain and fishing village stays".
Nohaku areas logged 8.68 million guest nights in FY2024, against 1.9 million in FY2017. Foreign guest nights nearly doubled in one year, to about 750,000. The government's new target is 12 million guest nights by FY2029. That is a target, not a result.
And the visitors keep coming. Japan welcomed a record 42.68 million international visitors in 2025, including 3.31 million from the US, 688,000 from Canada and 535,000 from the UK.
Japan's Fruit-Picking Calendar, Month by Month
The best time for fruit picking in Japan depends on the fruit. Strawberries run mainly from January to May, with some farms opening in December. Cherries peak in June, peaches and blueberries fill July and August, grapes and pears run from August into autumn, apples peak in September to November, and mikan mandarins finish the year in October to December.
Fruit | Main picking months | Notes | Typical adult price (source year) |
|---|---|---|---|
Strawberries | January to May (some farms from December) | Sweetest January to February; cheaper in spring | ¥2,000–¥3,500 for 30–60 min (2026 estimate) |
Cherries | June (late May to mid-July) | Yamagata's main season is June | ¥1,600–¥2,500 for 30–40 min (Yamagata, 2025) |
Blueberries | Late June to early September | Usually paid by weight | ¥200–¥260 per 100 g (Tokyo, 2023) |
Peaches | July to August | Yamanashi is Japan's largest peach producer | ¥800–¥1,540 (Fukushima, 2023) |
Grapes | Mid-July to November | Shine Muscat courses cost the most | ¥1,500–¥3,000 (Yamanashi, 2026) |
Pears (nashi) | August to early October | Chiba is Japan's top pear producer | About ¥950–¥1,100 per kg (Chiba, undated) |
Apples | September to November | Some farms from August | ¥600–¥1,200 (Yamagata, 2026) |
Mikan | October to December | November is often best | ¥800–¥1,500 (Shizuoka, 2026) |
Seasons shift with weather and region. Most farms post exact dates each year, so check before you book.
The 50 Best Farms to Visit in Japan, Ranked
Where a farm's English support is not mentioned, we could not confirm it, so plan on little English.
Ranks 1 to 10: the headliners
No. 1: Kyoto Obubu Tea Farms (京都おぶぶ茶苑), Wazuka, Kyoto
Score: 73.4/100 · Best for: A deep-dive English tea tour · When to go: Spring and autumn tour dates
Obubu, in the tea village of Wazuka, runs one of the most thorough English tea tours we found.
You start with welcome tea in the plantation. Then you put on white coats and walk into a stone-mill matcha factory. You finish by tasting seven teas.
The farm was started by a college dropout. Its internship began in 2012, and its own Previous Interns page now lists more than 220 interns from dozens of countries. In 2020 it received a White Enterprise Award and Special Commendation.
In 2026, the Matcha Factory & Tea Farm Tour costs 30,000 yen per person, tax included (about US$191). Book and pay online; Obubu suggests at least a week ahead. Groups are capped at five, and guests must be 10 or older. Shuttles run from Kyoto Station and JR Kizu Station. Tours are in English.
No. 2: d:matcha Kyoto, Wazuka, Kyoto
Score: 72.8/100 · Best for: Picking tea and eating it as tempura · When to go: Year-round tours; the factory runs in spring
Farmer Daiki Tanaka runs this organic tea farm in the same Wazuka hills as No. 1. It is the most-reviewed tea farm on our list, with more than 2,000 Google reviews.
On the half-day tour, you walk the plantations, hand-pick young tea buds and see the tea factory. Then you eat lunch at the café, taste single-origin sencha and matcha, and try fresh tea leaves fried as tempura. There is a farm B&B if you want to stay the night.
Kyoto's official tourism site listed the tour at 10,000 yen per person in December 2021; no current price is posted, so check when you book. Online reservation is required. The tour runs in English and Japanese, with pickup on request from JR Kamo Station.
No. 3: Farm Tomita (ファーム富田), Nakafurano, Hokkaido
Score: 70.0/100 · Best for: Lavender fields and Hokkaido summer photos · When to go: Late June to late July for lavender
This is the farm from our opening story. The land was first cleared in 1903, and lavender for oil came in 1958.
After the 1976 JNR calendar brought the crowds, visitors taught the family to make potpourri and sachets, the first shop products. In 1990 it won first prize at a lavender perfume fair in France.
Today you walk free lavender and flower fields, visit the greenhouses and eat lavender soft serve and Furano melon.
Entry was free in 2025–26, say visitor reviews, though Nakafurano Town now charges for nearby parking in June to August (Hokkaido Shimbun, March 2026). The nearest station is JR Naka-Furano, with a temporary summer station. There is an English website, and no booking is needed. Expect tour buses in July.
No. 4: Coco Farm & Winery (ココ・ファーム・ワイナリー), Ashikaga, Tochigi
Score: 63.1/100 · Best for: Wine with a moving social story · When to go: Year-round; Harvest Festival on the third weekend of November
In 1958, teacher Kawata Noboru and his students with disabilities started clearing a 38-degree slope by hand. The winery opened in 1980. About 130 people with disabilities work there, according to the Japanese government's Highlighting Japan (February 2024).
Its NOVO sparkling wine was served at the 2000 G8 Kyushu-Okinawa Summit.
You can join a cellar tour, taste the wines, eat at the farm café and come back for the November Harvest Festival.
Ashikaga's tourism site lists the tour at 500 yen and a tasting at 1,000 yen, and 2025–26 reviews report the same prices. Book at the wine shop. It is about 20 minutes by car from JR Ashikaga Station, and there are 60 parking spaces, free except during the Harvest Festival.
No. 5: Maruyama Senmaida Rice Terraces (丸山千枚田), Kumano, Mie
Score: 62.8/100 · Best for: Japan's most famous terrace revival · When to go: May to July for water-filled paddies; autumn harvest
In 1601, records show 2,240 paddies on this hillside. By 1992, only about 530 were left.
The villagers fought back. In 1993 they formed a preservation society. In 1994 they passed Japan's first ordinance of its kind to protect terraces. They restored 810 paddies by hand. In 2018 there were 1,340.
Since 1996, city families have been able to become "owners" of a paddy, farming it with the villagers and sharing the harvest. Visit Mie says more than 100 owners join each year. In June, the Mushi Okuri candle festival lights the terraces.
Viewing is free. The owner fee was not published on the pages we checked. You need a car. One of the best views is from Tori-toge Pass.
No. 6: Alternative Farm Miyako (オルタナティブファーム宮古), Miyakojima, Okinawa
Score: 62.5/100 · Best for: Making brown sugar from cane you cut · When to go: Year-round
Reviewers name the farmer as Katsuya Matsumoto, who grows organic sugarcane and bananas on Miyako Island, far south of mainland Japan.
This is a full field-to-plate session. You tour the cane fields, cut and squeeze cane, and watch the juice boil down into brown sugar. Then you walk the banana field and make a caramelised banana dessert.
The byfood listing prices it at 4,500 yen per guest (about US$29) for 1.5 hours, for two to ten guests. The listing does not say when that price was set. The tour runs in Japanese and English, and reviewers say the host speaks fluent English.
Book on byfood or direct. The farm is about 15 minutes from Miyako Airport, and directions come after booking. Bring water in summer.
No. 7: Hirosaki City Apple Park (弘前市りんご公園), Hirosaki, Aomori
Score: 58.1/100 · Best for: Apple picking in Japan's apple capital · When to go: Early August to mid-November (best late September to November)
This park grows about 2,300 apple trees of about 80 varieties on about 5.2 hectares. It is run by the city, but it is a real working orchard.
Staff lead picking groups every 30 minutes. There is an apple café, an old farmhouse of farm tools and a Mt Iwaki viewpoint.
Entry is free. Picking is paid by weight, roughly 100 yen per 100 grams in 2026 (Nap-camp, October 2026). An older Aomori page quotes 35 yen, so treat 100 yen as the current guide.
It is open 9:00 to 17:00, about 20 minutes by bus from JR Hirosaki Station, with free parking. English pages exist on the Aomori and Hirosaki tourism sites. Individuals don't need to book.
No. 8: Mother Farm (マザー牧場), Futtsu, Chiba
Score: 57.7/100 · Best for: A big family day out from Tokyo · When to go: Year-round; strawberries January to May; rapeseed flowers February to April
Hisakichi Maeda founded Mother Farm in 1962 on 250 hectares of Mt Kano. He named it after his mother, who said the family would be fine as long as they had a cow.
You can milk a cow, watch sheep shows and shearing, ride a horse, feed animals, and make butter, cheese or ice cream. A tractor train tours the farm. Strawberry picking runs January to May. There are also rides and go-karts, so it feels part theme park.
In 2026, adult admission is 1,800 yen and children pay 900 yen (iko-yo, June 2026). Some experiences cost extra.
Buses run from JR Kimitsu Station. The farm has English pages and an English map. No booking is needed for entry. Weekends bring queues.
No. 9: Shiroyone Senmaida Rice Terraces (白米千枚田), Wajima, Ishikawa
Score: 57.6/100 · Best for: Seaside terraces and the Noto recovery · When to go: May planting; September harvest; lights mid-October to mid-March
1,004 small paddies step down the hillside to the sea.
In 1684, a landslide destroyed most of them. Farmers rebuilt them by the mid-1800s. The terraces became a National Place of Scenic Beauty in 2001, and they are part of Noto's Satoyama and Satoumi, one of Japan's first two Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (2011).
Then came the January 2024 Noto earthquake. Volunteers kept planting anyway, and the Yomiuri reported a successful 2025 harvest.
Viewing is free. From mid-October to mid-March, the "Aze no Kirameki" LED lights glow at night. Volunteer planting runs by application, but details were not published on the pages we checked. The terraces are about 8 km east of Wajima. Recovery work is still going on, so check road conditions first.
No. 10: Oyama Senmaida Rice Terraces (大山千枚田), Kamogawa, Chiba
Score: 56.7/100 · Best for: Planting rice on Tokyo's nearest terraces · When to go: May planting; September harvest; green in summer
About 375 paddies are still worked by hand on the Boso Peninsula. In 1999 they were named among Japan's 100 best terraced rice fields.
You can plant, weed and harvest rice, tie and dry the sheaves, and cook rice over a kamado wood stove. City families rent one-year "owner" plots from April to March, with local farmers helping. Little signs in the paddies name the families who farm them.
Viewing is free. Tabi-mag lists the owner plan at 30,000 yen a plot per year, with no date given. Experience fees were not published on the pages we checked. Experiences need reservations, and Visit Chiba says English-speaking staff can help you book.
Take the JR Sotobo Line to Awa-Kamogawa, then drive about 25 minutes. Buses run only every three hours. The visitor centre is closed on Tuesdays.
Ranks 11 to 20: gems, cheesemakers and dairies
No. 11: Miyashita Farm (宮下農園), Isahaya, Nagasaki
Score: 56.1/100 · Best for: All-you-can-eat cherry tomatoes · When to go: Season unconfirmed (reviewers mention spring)
This is the surprise of the list: a small greenhouse farm with almost no publicity.
Miyashita grows cherry tomatoes on reclaimed land at Isahaya Bay. You pick and eat as many as you like in the greenhouses, then pay by weight for the ones you take home. The farm shop sells tomato gelato, juice, wine and purée.
It scores high on stars and recent reviews, but almost nothing official is published about it. We could not confirm prices, season dates, booking or English support. Japanese travel site Jalan lists it, and it sits on the road to Unzen.
It is hard to spot from the road, so use the map link.
No. 12: Kyodo Gakusha Shintoku Farm (共働学舎新得農場), Shintoku, Hokkaido
Score: 55.4/100 · Best for: Award-winning farmstead cheese with a heart · When to go: May to October (the café closes in winter)
Nozomu Miyajima founded this farm after returning to Japan in 1978, to give work and a home to people with disabilities. The residents raise the cows and make the cheese.
In 2004, the Japan Times reported that its Sakura cheese won gold at the Mountain Cheese Olympics in Switzerland. In April 2026, the Hokkaido Shimbun reported a silver for Sakura at the World Championship Cheese Contest.
You taste and buy cheeses, eat cheese dishes and berry ice cream at Café Mintaru, and see the goats.
Prices were not published. Hours are 10:00 to 17:00 (to 16:00 from December to March), 10 minutes by car from JR Shintoku Station. No booking is needed. Note that this is a shop and café on a working farm, not a guided tour.
No. 13: Harada Strawberry Farm (原田いちごファーム), Sanda, Hyogo
Score: 54.0/100 · Best for: Top-rated strawberry picking near Osaka · When to go: January to late May
This is the highest-scoring strawberry farm in Japan on our list. It has more than 1,000 Google reviews and keeps earning praise.
You pick mostly the Benihoppe variety. Reviewers say staff take time to explain the varieties.
We found no press coverage. It ranks this high on visitor love alone.
Nap-camp (updated October 2026) lists adults at 3,200 yen (about US$20) and children from age one to pre-school at 1,600 yen, with a discount period from 10 May to 8 June. Hours are 10:00 to 14:40, with last entry at 14:00.
Reservations are required. It is about 10 minutes by taxi or bus from JR Sanda Station, and Sanda is about 33 minutes from Osaka. Other farms named Harada exist, so use the map link.
No. 14: Yogibo Versailles Resort Farm (Yogibo ヴェルサイユリゾートファーム), Hidaka, Hokkaido
Score: 53.6/100 · Best for: Horse lovers meeting famous retired racehorses · When to go: Spring to autumn (closed Thursdays)
This farm in Hidaka is run by a general incorporated association to support retired racehorses. Its motto translates as a future where they are no longer called "retired horses".
In July 2025 its residents included Japan Derby winner Tanino Gimlet, plus Oju Chosan and Wonder Acute.
You check in at the shop for a short briefing, then walk the farm and feed the horses carrots bought on site. Reviewers say the rules are strict and explained well, even to overseas visitors. There is a café, and you can stay overnight in themed rooms.
Entry is free. A Google reviewer reports carrots at 500 yen a pack. Lodging prices were not published on the pages we checked.
It is a horse aftercare farm, not a crop farm. You need a car.
No. 15: Nakayama Coffee Farm, Nago, Okinawa
Score: 53.6/100 · Best for: Picking and roasting Okinawan coffee · When to go: Harvest late November to late April
Yes, Japan grows coffee. This farm in northern Okinawa has more than 2,000 coffee trees on about 23,000 square metres. MATCHA (February 2026) says it produces about 1.2 tons a year, which makes it one of the largest in Okinawa.
On a harvest tour, you ride to the field, hand-pick red coffee cherries, then sort, pulp, wash and dry them. Then you roast your own beans and taste the result. One reviewer said it took about 2.5 hours from field to cup.
A tour sold through the Oriental Hotel Okinawa Resort & Spa cost 16,000 yen per person, with no room included (MATCHA, February 2026). The farm's direct booking page does not show prices.
Book on Coubic by 5 p.m. the day before. The farm is open 10:30 to 17:00. You need a car.
No. 16: Fukusuke Farm (福助ファーム), Sanda, Hyogo
Score: 53.5/100 · Best for: Six strawberry varieties, barrier-free · When to go: Mid-December to spring
Fukusuke grows six strawberry varieties in heated greenhouses, using groundwater from the Mita mountains and reduced pesticides.
What sets it apart is access. The aisles are barrier-free, and the beds are set at two heights, so wheelchair users and small children can pick alongside everyone else. All-you-can-eat picking lets you compare all six.
For the December 2025 season, iko-yo listed prices at 3,000 yen for middle school and older, 2,700 yen for elementary pupils, 1,900 yen for ages 3 to 6 and 700 yen for ages 1 to 2.
Hours are 10:00 to 15:00, with last entry at 14:30. It is closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The farm is about 12 minutes from Mita-Nishi IC, with free parking. Check the farm's official website for booking.
No. 17: Katashimo Winery (カタシモワイナリー), Kashiwara, Osaka
Score: 51.6/100 · Best for: Vineyard walks inside greater Osaka · When to go: Grape picking August to October; shop year-round
Founded in 1914, Katashimo is the oldest surviving winery in western Japan, says Osaka's official tourism site. It first made wine using sake-brewing methods.
You can stroll the vineyard footpaths at any time. Tours by reservation take in a Taisho-era storehouse that is a registered national cultural property, and a museum of Taisho and Showa era winemaking tools.
The winery won four stars at the Japan Winery Awards 2025. Seven of its products were served at the 2019 G20 Osaka Summit dinner.
Prices vary by plan. A special guided tour on 6 June 2026, with lunch and five wines, cost 11,000 yen.
It is an 8-minute walk from Kintetsu Ando Station, or 15 minutes from JR Kashiwara.
No. 18: Lake Hill Farm (レイクヒル・ファーム), Toyako, Hokkaido
Score: 51.0/100 · Best for: Families wanting gelato, butter-making and lake views · When to go: Year-round (soft serve in summer)
This hilltop farm sits above Lake Toya. Its milk comes from cows that graze freely on its pastures, says Visit Hokkaido.
The famous part is the gelato, made from the farm's own milk. The best part may be butter-making. You shake fresh cream into butter, then eat it on a hot Hokkaido potato. You can also make gelato and walk the flower gardens. Reviewers mention pizza and curry at the café, and lambs, goats and rabbits to meet.
Prices were not published on Visit Hokkaido. Butter- and gelato-making need reservations. Hours are 9:00 to 18:00 from late April to September and 9:00 to 17:00 from October to April.
It is about 15 minutes by car from Abuta-Toyako IC, with 50 free parking spaces.
No. 19: Rokko Mountain Pasture (神戸市立六甲山牧場), Kobe, Hyogo
Score: 50.7/100 · Best for: Sheep and cheese above Kobe · When to go: March to November
This Swiss-style pasture sits high on Mt Rokko above Kobe. The city runs it, and it has been open to the public since 1976.
You can pet sheep, goats and cows, bottle-feed calves, ride a horse, tour the cheese factory and eat cheese fondue.
Hyogo's official tourism site lists adult entry at 600 yen and children at 200 yen from March to November, with adults paying 400 yen from December to February. Parking is 500 yen on weekdays and 1,000 yen on weekends.
One rule matters for foreign visitors. To protect the animals, people who have been in Japan for less than a week may be refused entry.
It is open 9:00 to 17:00 and closed on Tuesdays, except from 21 July to 31 August. Take the bus about 15 minutes from Rokko Sanjo Station.
No. 20: Villa d'Est Gardenfarm and Winery (ヴィラデスト ガーデンファーム アンド ワイナリー), Tomi, Nagano
Score: 50.6/100 · Best for: A painter's hilltop vineyard and garden lunch · When to go: April to December
Essayist and painter Toyoo Tamamura owns this estate. Its vines grow on south-facing slopes at about 850 metres.
You can join a guided winery tour, which needs a reservation, or follow a self-guided QR-code tour. There are paid tastings and a café cooking produce from the farm garden. A gallery shows Tamamura's paintings.
The Japanese government's Highlighting Japan featured it in 2018.
Admission is free. Tour and tasting prices were not published on the pages we checked.
It is about 10 minutes by taxi from Shinano Railway's Tanaka or Oya Station. The café closes on Wednesdays, and the whole estate closes from late December to March.
Ranks 21 to 30: milk, tea and family orchards
No. 21: Makaino Farm (まかいの牧場), Fujinomiya, Shizuoka
Score: 50.5/100 · Best for: Milking cows under Mt Fuji · When to go: Year-round; clearest Fuji views in the colder months
Makaino is a dairy on the Asagiri Plateau, looking straight at Mt Fuji. The pasture swing is a favourite photo spot.
You can milk a cow, bottle-feed a calf, ride a horse, walk a goat and feed sheep. You can make butter and ice cream, do farm chores, tour the milk factory and finish with a barbecue.
Iko-yo lists adult entry at 1,300 yen (1,100 yen from December to February) and children at 900 yen (700 yen). The same page carries a notice dated 1 November 2026 announcing an admission price revision. Check the farm's official website before you go.
You need a car, and iko-yo lists 500 free parking spaces. From December to mid-March it closes on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Some workshops need booking.
No. 22: Miyanoen Sayama Tea Farm (宮野園), Sayama, Saitama
Score: 50.4/100 · Best for: Picking and rolling your own green tea · When to go: Early May to early November
Sayama is one of Japan's three major tea areas. It is about an hour from Tokyo. Miyanoen is a family tea farm there.
You hear a short lecture, pick leaves in the field and hand-roll your own tea. Then you taste fresh tea leaves fried as tempura. Separate classes cover matcha and tea blending.
The official site lists the tea-picking course at 1,000 yen (about US$6). It gives no year, but 2025–26 reviews report the same price. This may be the best value on the list.
Booking is by reservation only, through the contact form or email, for 10:00 or 13:30 slots. There is an English page, and reviewers say staff use a translation device. The course is outdoors, so it is cancelled in bad weather.
No. 23: Naitai Highland Farm (ナイタイ高原牧場), Kamishihoro, Hokkaido
Score: 50.3/100 · Best for: Driving through Japan's largest public ranch · When to go: May to October
Naitai began in 1972 as a national project to raise young cattle. Today about 2,000 cattle graze on 1,700 hectares, says Visit Hokkaido. It is often called Japan's largest public ranch.
You drive up through open grassland, among the cattle, to Naitai Terrace. There you get soft serve, burgers and a huge view over the Tokachi Plain. JNTO featured it as one of "Japan's Local Treasures" in 2022.
Entry is free, with 83 free parking spaces.
It is about 60 minutes by car from JR Obihiro Station, so a car is essential. It closes from late October to early April. No booking is needed. This is a view-and-drive ranch, not a hands-on farm.
No. 24: Toda Orchard, Saijo, Ehime
Score: 50.3/100 · Best for: Mikan and grape picking with toddlers · When to go: Grapes mid-August to September; citrus mid-November to March
This fourth-generation family orchard has been farmed for more than 60 years with reduced pesticides, on about 65 ares. Japan for Kids calls it Ehime's only grape-picking orchard.
You pick Queen Seven, Shine Muscat and Pione grapes in late summer. Then mikan and other citrus from November. The ground is flat, and tools, tables, parasols and iced water are provided, which makes it easy with small children.
Japan for Kids lists mikan picking at 1,200 yen for adults and 700 yen for children, and grapes at about 2,400 to 2,500 yen for adults. That page was last updated in September 2026. Payment is cash or PayPay only.
Reserve by LINE or phone (090-6287-1721). It is 3 to 5 minutes from Iyo-Komatsu IC. There is only a portable toilet in the field, and the orchard closes from about April to July.

Rurubu says prices vary by season, but it does not give amounts, and we could not confirm them.
It is open 8:30 to 17:00, daily in picking season. It is about 5 minutes by car from JR Ina-Oshima Station, with 30 parking spaces. Book by phone (0265-36-3238). Rurubu warns that the line is very busy, so keep trying, or ask your hotel to call.

Reviewers describe a vineyard and cellar tour with grape tasting, a five-wine flight and a lounge over the vines.
Prices, booking rules and English tours were not confirmed on the pages we checked.

This dairy dates back to 1955. It runs about 120 dairy cows on 70 hectares of grassland at the foot of Mt Mashu, says Visit Hokkaido. It is a certified dairy education farm.
Children milk and feed the cows, ride a tractor-pulled cart across the grassland, and make butter and ice cream. Then everyone drinks chilled raw morning milk.
Prices were not shown on any page we could fetch. You can book on VELTRA and KKday, which take card payment, and a 2025–26 review mentions an English-speaking helper.
It is open 9:30 to 15:30 daily from late April to late October, and closed from mid-December to March. It is about 10 minutes by car from JR Mashu Station, with 30 free parking spaces.

Prices were not listed on the pages we could read, so check the farm's official website. Take the bus from Totsuka Station West Exit to Yokohama Yakudai Minamimon, then walk about 9 minutes. The on-site lot is for accessible parking, so others use nearby coin parking (about 1,000 yen, per iko-yo).

Score: 39.9/100 · Best for: Long, relaxed strawberry tasting sessions · When to go: January to May; Shine Muscat grapes in late summer
Many strawberry farms give you 30 minutes. Strawberry Paradise gives you 105. That is time to compare five or six varieties properly, sit down and go back for seconds.
In late summer it adds Shine Muscat grape picking.
Nap-camp (updated October 2026) lists the 105-minute plan from 1,200 yen for adults, varying by season. That is very low for so much time, so book early.
Sessions run 10:00 to 11:45 and 13:15 to 15:00. A reviewer warns it is popular and hard to book. It is about 20 minutes from Sukagawa IC, with about 30 parking spaces. It is closed on Mondays and Fridays.

The greenhouses work in any weather, and the walk takes about 15 minutes. Afterwards, try the fruit soft serve or smoothies, and look for the rare Keitt mango in the shop.
An older listing gave admission at 500 yen for adults and 250 yen for children. In October 2025 the farm announced an admission price change, so check the farm's official website for today's price.

The Famous Names That Didn't Make the Cut
Some of Japan's best-known farms are missing from the list. That is not because they are bad. On 5 November 2026, each was rated below our 4.2 bar on Google, or failed the working-farm test.
Koiwai Farm (小岩井農場), Iwate. It was founded in 1891, and the name joins one character from each founder's surname: Ono, Iwasaki and Inoue. It is a 3,000-hectare historic dairy with silos that are National Important Cultural Properties. It falls just below 4.2, from more than 7,500 reviews.
Daio Wasabi Farm (大王わさび農場), Nagano. It is the most-reviewed farm in our research, with almost 17,000 reviews, but its rating sits below the bar.
Iga no Sato Mokumoku Tezukuri Farm (伊賀の里モクモク手づくりファーム), Mie. It has a great story (more below), but sits just under 4.2 from more than 3,200 reviews.
Kanno Farm (かんのファーム), Hokkaido. Below 4.2, from about 1,600 reviews.
Furano Cheese Factory (富良野チーズ工房), Hokkaido. It is below 4.2 and is a cheese factory and pizza shop, not a place where animals or crops are raised.
Takachiho Farm (高千穂牧場), Miyazaki. Below 4.2, from about 4,600 reviews.
Hiruzen Jersey Land (蒜山ジャージーランド), Okayama. Below 4.2, from about 3,500 reviews.
Awajishima Bokujo (淡路島牧場), Hyogo, Narita Yume Bokujo (成田ゆめ牧場), Chiba, Ikaho Green Bokujo (伊香保グリーン牧場), Gunma, and Senbonmatsu Bokujo (千本松牧場), Tochigi. All are popular dairy parks, and all are below 4.2.
Niseko Takahashi Dairy Farm Milk Kobo (ニセコ高橋牧場 ミルク工房), Hokkaido. It clears the star bar. But the listing is a pastry, ice-cream and restaurant complex, and visitors don't see the cows being raised. It fails the working-farm test.
Before You Go: Fruit-Picking Etiquette and Tips for Foreign Visitors
Book ahead. Most popular strawberry farms need a reservation, and weekend slots can fill weeks ahead.
Bring cash in yen. Many farms take only cash.
Keep to the time limit. It is usually 30 or 60 minutes.
Pick only what you can eat. Fruit you carry out is sold by weight. Don't throw away or damage fruit. Put peels, stems and seeds in the bins.
Handle fruit the Japanese way. Cut grapes as whole bunches. Don't squeeze peaches you aren't taking, because they bruise. Pick only where staff show you.
Dress for it. Wear flat, comfortable shoes. Wear trousers at cherry farms, where ladders are common. Greenhouses are warm, even in winter.
Expect little English and poor transport. A car, a tour or a hotel concierge helps.
Never walk onto farmland. Hokkaido's official tourism site calls it trespassing, and it can spread plant disease. In 2016, a Biei landowner cut down the famous "Philosophy Tree", partly because visitors kept sneaking onto his field for photos.
Don't touch animals without asking. Japan asks visitors to avoid contact with livestock for one week before and after arriving, and to tell Animal Quarantine if they have been on a farm. No. 19 Rokko may refuse entry to people who arrived less than a week ago. Never bring ham, sausage or jerky into Japan. The penalty can be up to three years in prison or a ¥3 million fine.
Dodge peak crowds and check the day. Furano's lavender draws huge crowds from June to August, and weekend prices are higher at many cherry and peach farms. Some farms close in rain or when fruit runs out. Go early, on a weekday.
What Western Farmers Can Learn From Japan's Best Farms
If you farm in the US, Canada or the UK, this list is a free study tour.
Lesson 1: Sell time, not pounds
At No. 28 Hoobaru, No. 42 Ike and No. 30 BerryMate, you pay one price for 30, 40 or 60 minutes of all-you-can-eat picking. Fruit you take home is extra.
That turns your field into a ticketed experience, paid up front.
Field-Tested Play: Price your U-pick by the session, not just the pound. Set a short, fixed time slot, sell it online in advance, and weigh take-home fruit separately. See creating a pick-your-own experience and how to set entry fees and ticket pricing. |
Lesson 2: Teach in English and charge for expertise
No. 1 Obubu charges 30,000 yen (about US$191) per person in 2026 for a tea tour capped at five guests. No. 22 Miyanoen charges 1,000 yen to pick and hand-roll your own tea.
The difference is depth: Obubu sells a working tea farm's knowledge, in English. Read the experience premium and how to host workshops on farming skills.
Lesson 3: Rent the land, not just the crop
At No. 5 Maruyama and No. 10 Oyama, city families pay to become "owners" of a rice paddy for a year. They plant, weed and harvest with local farmers, and take home rice. Maruyama has over 100 owners a year.
That is income booked before the season starts, from people who come back.
Field-Tested Play: Offer a season-long "adopt a row" or "own a plot" membership. Members pay up front, join planting and harvest days, and take home their share. It works for apples, grapes, vegetables or rice. |
Lesson 4: Let visitors touch the dairy
No. 21 Makaino and No. 27 Watanabe sell milking, calf feeding and butter-making. No. 18 Lake Hill hands you your own butter on a hot potato.
Reality Check: Hands-on animal contact needs handwashing stations, clear rules and the right insurance. No. 19 Rokko even turns away people who arrived in Japan less than a week ago, to protect its herd. Read petting zoo handwashing and animal contact rules before you open the barn door. |
Lesson 5: A mission sells
No. 12 Kyodo Gakusha was built to give people with disabilities work and a home. Its cheese then won gold in Switzerland. No. 4 Coco Farm grew from a teacher and his students clearing a slope by hand, and its wine reached a G8 summit.
People buy the reason behind the product. A true story, told plainly, earns press money can't buy. See the signature experience formula.
Lesson 6: Free entry, paid everything else
No. 3 Farm Tomita charges nothing to walk its lavender. It earns from the shop, the soft serve and the products visitors taught it to make, starting with potpourri and sachets.
Field-Tested Play: If your farm has a view people want, think about free entry and a strong shop at the exit. Make the products from your own crop. Then plan for crowds: Nakafurano Town now charges for summer parking near Farm Tomita. |
Lesson 7: Farmers working together beat farmers working alone
Mokumoku in Mie missed our list on stars, but its story matters to every struggling farmer.
In April 1987, about 20 local pig farmers each put in ¥2 million to start a ham workshop. Locals asked for a sausage-making class, and the founders learned that when people come, things sell. Reports from 2012 to 2015 describe about half a million visitors a year and sales of around ¥5 billion.
Reality Check: Mokumoku took years to build, and it sits two hours from Osaka and Nagoya. Japan's farmers are also ageing fast, with an average age of 67.7. A co-op only works if someone younger will carry it on. Read agritourism for older farmers and is agritourism profitable? |

The Paperwork: Questions to Ask Before You Copy These Ideas
This is not legal advice. Laws differ by state, province and country. Take these questions to your insurer, your attorney and your local health department.
All-you-can-eat and U-pick:
Does eating in the field count as "serving food" where I am?
Do I need a permit to sell jam, juice or soft serve made from my crop?
Who checks washing, toilets and handwashing for pickers?
Animal contact:
Does my policy cover milking, feeding and petting?
What handwashing and signage rules apply?
What happens if a visitor is bitten or kicked?
Farm stays:
Do zoning and lodging rules allow overnight guests?
Will lodging taxes apply? (Japan's Nasu Town began taxing hotel and ryokan stays in October 2026.)
Does my farm policy cover paying guests sleeping on site?
Waivers:
Will a liability waiver hold up in my state or province?
Does it cover children?
Start with agritourism insurance: what coverage you need, do liability waivers protect your farm? and selling food on your farm: permits.
A Note From a Durian Farm in Malaysia
I'm Stephen Loke, founder of Bloopy Durians, a durian farm in Bentong, Malaysia. Visitors come from all over the world, including Japan. Many companies send their staff and management.
Farm tours are what we do best. A tour lasts about 1.5 hours. Guests plant a durian tree, then ride a four-wheel drive up to see the bigger trees with durians hanging on them.
Back at our brick farmhouse, they eat durians while I teach them to tell the varieties apart and spot a good one, including the difference between old-tree and young-tree durians. Then they open a durian themselves. In season they can also pluck mangosteen, rambutan, duku, dokong and langsat, and meet our ducks, chickens, geese and rabbits.
That is the same idea as Obubu's tea tour or Makaino's milking: people pay to learn and to do, not just to buy.
Our durian seasons are short, about four to five months a year in total: December to February and June to August. Japan's fruit farms know the problem: every crop has a season, and it ends. So we built a WhatsApp list of loyal customers who buy whenever durians are in season. Like Japan's paddy owners, the relationship outlasts the harvest.
Bloomberg News and the Asahi Shimbun, one of Japan's largest newspapers, both came to the farm and featured it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best time for fruit picking in Japan?
Strawberries run mainly January to May (some farms open in December), cherries peak in June, peaches and blueberries in July and August, grapes and pears from August into autumn, apples September to November, and mikan October to December.
Can tourists do a farm stay in Japan?
Yes. Japan's rural-stay programme is called nohaku. Designated nohaku areas logged 8.68 million guest nights in FY2024, about 750,000 of them by foreign guests. On our list, No. 2 d:matcha has a farm B&B and No. 14 Yogibo Versailles has themed rooms.
Do Japanese farms speak English?
Many don't. No. 1 Obubu, No. 2 d:matcha, No. 6 Alternative Farm Miyako and No. 37 Kiwi Fruit Country Japan offer English tours or guidance. Elsewhere, ask your hotel to book.
How much does strawberry picking cost in Japan?
Usually about ¥2,000 to ¥3,500 for adults for 30 to 60 minutes. On our list, Nap-camp (updated October 2026) lists Hoobaru at 2,000 yen, BerryMate at 2,500 yen and Harada at 3,200 yen. Prices are higher from December to January and cheaper in spring.
What are the best farms to visit near Tokyo?
Mother Farm (No. 8), Oyama Senmaida (No. 10), Coco Farm & Winery (No. 4), Miyanoen (No. 22) and ichigos YOKOHAMA (No. 35) are all reachable as day trips. The Katsunuma grape farms (No. 29, No. 39 and No. 49) are under two hours by car.
What are the best farms near Kyoto and Osaka?
The two Wazuka tea farms (No. 1 and No. 2), Harada and Fukusuke strawberries in Sanda (No. 13 and No. 16), Katashimo Winery (No. 17) and Rokko Mountain Pasture (No. 19). Maruyama Senmaida (No. 5) is a long day trip.
Which Hokkaido farms are worth visiting?
Farm Tomita (No. 3) for lavender, Kyodo Gakusha (No. 12) for cheese, Yogibo Versailles (No. 14) for racehorses, Lake Hill Farm (No. 18) for butter-making, Naitai (No. 23) for the ranch drive, Watanabe (No. 27) for milking and Murata (No. 45) for cherries.
Your Next Step
If you're a farmer, you just read 50 ways Japan turns land into visitor income. Want to know which ones fit your farm? Take the free quiz. It takes a few minutes.
Then get my free ebook, 150 Ways to Unlock Hidden Wealth From Your Farm. It lays out 150 ways to earn more from the land, buildings and skills you already have. You'll spot the ideas that fit your farm and your budget, so you can start building a second income without starting from scratch.
P.S. Furano's lavender buyer walked away in 1973. The Tomita family didn't plough their lavender under. They kept it alive on rice income until one calendar photo changed everything. Your farm may already have something visitors want. The quiz will help you find it.
