Many people who come to Japan know the deer of Nara, but few people know about Kobe Rokko Mountain Ranch, and today I will share with you that this is a small spot that many locals like to visit - Kobe Rokko Mountain Ranch. (At the end, there is a summary of the traffic routes!) ）
My previous impression of Kobe was Kobe beef, but this time I checked in Kobe's Rokko Ranch, and I just want to say that I really didn't go wrong! It's a magical place that can take away your troubles!
It is said that it was built with reference to the alpine pastures of Switzerland, and the architectural style inside is also imitated in the Switzerland style. There are two entrances to Mt. Rokko Ranch, one north and one south, but this time we entered from the south entrance. As soon as you enter the door, you can see the little sheep walking leisurely and grazing, and they are not afraid of human proximity.
The goat also stuck out his head to stroke my beard, and seemed to enjoy passers-by touching its beard.
Mt. Rokko Farm is a hands-on farm with a variety of activities to get close to the animals and learn about them, such as feeding the cows. There are also hands-on classes where you can make wool crafts, ice cream, butter, cheese, and frozen yogurt. (The activity time will be arranged according to the weather and the state of the animals, so if you want to participate, remember to go in and see the schedule of the day)
There is a sheepdog show in the pasture, the sheepdog herds the sheep, and the lambs are as if they are suppressed by the blood, which is particularly well-behaved and neatly lined up.
There is a horseback riding experience, and you can choose to experience riding a big and a small horse. The trainer will hold the horse on a leash, even for children under the age of 4, but it is a great experience to ride a horse with both parents.
If you continue to walk forward, you will see the Green Point, one of the attractions in the northern region. There is a bench at the top of the hill where you can sit and rest, and it is also especially suitable for taking pictures.
I went in early summer, the weather was neither hot nor cold, basking in the warm sun, looking at the cute and cute lamb, on the tender green lawn, it was really healing!
After resting, you can go to another sheep area, where you can touch and hug as far as you can see, and there are about 170 sheep raised at Rokko Mountain Farm, so you can enjoy the close proximity with the animals.
There is also a little sheep in it, which looks different from other sheep, he is black and white, which is too cute.
Also, you must try the milk and ice cream from the ranch, which are super rich, and you can't eat them anywhere else!
Finally, I would like to share with you the transportation route:
Take the Hanshin Railway Platform 2
1. Get off at Kobe Sannomiya, turn right at the West Change, go straight to the A11 exit, go up to the elevator and turn left, cross the road, and take the bus to Mt. Rokko by bus stop at the 18 system
2. Get off at Maya Station at the foot of Mt. Rokko
3. Take the cable car twice to the star station, and take the bus directly to the Rokko Mountain Ranch at the first exit
If you have the opportunity, you must come to Kobe's Mt. Rokko Ranch to touch the head of the pony, hug the sucking lamb, bask in the sun on the large lawn, and experience the beauty of nature with your heart, which can soothe our inner troubles and anxieties.
