Iwase Farm, the birthplace of dairy farming in Japan and the model for the famous song "Morning at the Ranch," offers a delightful experience for visitors of all ages. Located a 20-minute walk from Kagamiishi Station in Fukushima, this historic farm features a petting zoo with ponies and other animals, seasonal flower gardens (especially known for its peony garden and tropical water lilies), and a barbecue area. Enjoy homemade ice cream and yogurt, and in the summer, explore the large corn maze (separate fee). It's an ideal destination for families and animal lovers seeking a relaxing day in the countryside.
