Yamabuki Green Farm

Yamabuki Green Farm in the remote village of Muikaichi has a beautiful garden. In fall, it is full of sunflowers, and in spring they grow yellow canola flowers.  You can also enjoy a light lunch and chocolate, marmalade, and caramel flavour ice-cream at their cafe. Best of all, you can make pizza with fresh mozzarella cheese made with milk from the cows on the farm. The owners have four cows, and so not only can you drink fresh milk, but you can also make mozzarella cheese with it.
