    Although a bit off the beaten path, it's definitely a fun experience to go see the ostriches. They also have ostrich burgers and skewers that you can eat there (and that are surprisingly nice) and they have a large selection of frozen ostrich meat (sausages, thigh fillets, skewers, etc) that you can buy. Did not get enough time to go to the other section which has all the animals (and also requires a ticket) so can't say much about that.

    Great place for a family outing. I think kids will love it. A lot of ostriches to check out and you can feed them as well. There is also a small zoo area with a lot of different animals you can pet and feed. I highly recommend trying the ostrich burger at the store area.

    All the animals were super cute and seemed healthy but I think the conditions of the place and the welfare of the animals can be improved, especially that of the smaller birds. All the birds were on extremely short tethers and they can’t even fly more than a few centimetres off their perches. That was sad to see. A parrot was also trying to pick the tether off of its leg. I think this place and its patrons can do without the birds if they’re going to be kept like this.

    The free-ranging baby goats and lambs were so cute that I was very relieved (^ ^) The kids are very happy with the bucket full of animal feeding. Reservations are required for the cat's room, so if you want one, you'll need to fill in your name early on-site. Bird-type animals are currently not allowed to be touched to prevent influenza. Last time I went there, a parakeet came on top of my head and I felt really close to animals (^ ^) Capybaras have runny noses, and if you are holding a bucket of food, they will come very close to you, so parents of small children should be careful (^ ^) It's a place I really want to go to on a regular basis and I love it (^ ^)

    I felt bad for some animals. There was a lhama in short rope and a coati seemed stressed, and i’m not even mention birds of prey. they have a good space, maybe they need to think about provide better conditions for the animals

    This is a facility recommended for animal lovers as you can interact with and feed the various animals in the park 🦜🐏🐎 If you want to interact thoroughly, I think it would be a good idea to have food buckets for the number of people 🪣 Newly born goats are just so cute, so we recommend visiting them during the birthing season (around March) 😌 I was surprised that the parakeets in the park were so accustomed to people. I think they are being raised with love by the staff. I was very satisfied with grooming the yellowtail. You can use PayPay in the park 💁‍♀️

    A place where you can interact with various animals and has a restaurant where you can eat ostrich meat. It's free if you just want to see the ostriches. And parking is free. However, it costs a lot of money, and restaurants are expensive. The blueberry juice and ostrich skewers are delicious without the smell of fillet meat. If you want to enjoy the ostrich flavor, it's probably best to skip the hamburger. Furthermore, the skewer holding the hamburger got stuck in my jaw and I bled, so please be careful when eating it lol Admission fee is 1,000 yen per adult to interact with animals other than ostriches. You can also try horseback riding. Feeding vegetables costs 700 yen per bucket. It's 1000 yen for two, so I recommend getting two. Feeding the chicks is ticklish but cute, so please try it (+100 yen). I think the cost of feeding the ostrich was 300 yen, 500 yen, and 1000 yen. I think there were chameleons, goats, sheep, alpacas, tortoises, giant tortoises, ponies, snakes, rabbits, hawks, eagles, cats, dogs, owls, ostriches, horses, iguanas, chicks, peacocks, and guinea birds. By the way, the lady at the reception desk at the restaurant didn't seem very nice.

    There’s barely visitors on weekdays so you can surely enjoy your time here . You can go inside the pen freely for some animals. This is not a zoo so don’t expect to see many staff . I saw 2 staff only for the farm and 1 staff for kitchen . They’re all nice and informative. The enclosure are pretty standard. The food was also great. Would totally visit again

    (Translated by Google) The Ostrich Kingdom is the largest ostrich farm in Japan. In addition to ostriches, it is also a guest ranch that exhibits nearly 100 kinds of animals. The distance between the animals and the guests was very close, and alpaca, sheep, goats, etc. were free-ranged in the park. The number and types of animals have decreased, probably due to the influence of the new corona virus, but I think it is a very enjoyable place for children and people who like animals to come in contact with animals. At the reception desk of the Ostrich Kingdom, you can also sell ostrich eggs and meat, and you can also eat BBQ and skewers, so I think it is a place where you can enjoy it for different purposes. (Original) ダチョウ王国は日本一のダチョウの畜産量を誇る牧場です。 ダチョウの他にも約100種類近くの動物展示も行っている観光牧場でもおります。 動物と客との距離が凄く近く、アルパカ、ヒツジやヤギ等が園内で放し飼いされていました。 新型コロナ禍等の影響もあってかその種類や頭数等は少なくなっていましたが、動物好きな子供や人等には動物と触れ合う事ができるので、とても楽しめる場所だと思います。 ダチョウ王国の受付では、ダチョウの卵やお肉等も販売していたり、BBQや串焼き等も食べる事もできるので違う目的でも楽しめる場所だと思います。

    It's ok. The place is quiet small. You can spend around one hour. The restaurant is small and not much to eat there.

    I went on a rainy day, so it was pretty empty. We recommend purchasing a vegetable basket at the entrance so you can feed the various animals. The parking lot and grounds are not paved underfoot, so it's a good idea to wear shoes that you don't mind getting dirty.

    I went to Ostrich Kingdom. A large number of ostriches on a vast site. If you travel in a group, it's pretty spectacular because it's fast. . . Bags that can be fed and contain Arale are sold for 200, 500, and 1000 yen depending on the size of small, medium, or large. With my JAF membership card, the inside cost was 300 yen, so I bought the inside. Just seeing the ostriches was free, and the entrance fee to the Minami Petting Zoo was 1,000 yen for adults and 600 yen for children. You can buy vegetable food and feed it, and some birds can even be fed ostrich food. It's not that big, but I enjoyed it.

    Although it was an ostrich kingdom, there was only one ostrich. Where are they in the photo? Instead, there were geese, capybaras, goats, sheep, ponies, and alpacas. If you purchase a bucket full of vegetables or a small bag of arale for an additional fee, you can experience feeding the animals. Inside the hut, you can interact with rabbits, guinea pigs, chicks, and tortoises. It's not as spacious as I thought. I think it would be nice if you could stay for 2 or 3 hours. Suitable for families with small children.

    In addition to the ostrich, there were many other interesting animals to see, such as capybaras, cold ducks, chicks, and sheep, making it a very satisfying excursion.
