If you love cheese, green plains the smell of cow poop and the surreal baying of distant cows, then this is the place for you. The cheese pizza was simply the best I had in Japan. It was a beautiful environment that soothes the soul (unless you think about the inherent cruelty in the dairy farming system too much). Great place for photo ops and of course the history of the farm is pretty darn interesting.

Always heard about this place and I finally visited! The food at the cafe is excellent! The meat tasted great and the ice cream was delicious! The atmosphere is also very nice and cozy. Kids were sledding, and they also had a snowmobile pulling a sled! You can also eat inside an igloo if you choose to do so. It was a nice stop on our way home from Morioka. I wish I saw the illumination! I am sure it is amazing too!

We came here in the middle of winter and there is not much to do so we just walk around the place taking some photo. The BBQ place was really good with some great beef and very good price. I worth just to come here to eat BBQ.

First time in Japan, this farm is so huge. So many cows, sheep, and horses. They also have archery if you want. The softcream (ice cream made of milk from Koiwai Farm's cows ) is very delicious.

Paid to enter the farm in late March. Most of the shops and restaurants were closed. I would expect this during the off season when it’s free to get it. Having paid to enter I fully expected to be able to access all the attractions. Staff were less than helpful. Very disappointed.

Chill and relaxing farm. Now I understand why Japanese people love to do outdoor activities. They have very nice and well manage farm. Lots of parking lot and wide farm with many zone to do variety of activity. Ive visited in summer, August. Even shiny day the weather is nice and chill, don’t feel hot at all. Sunflower zone is so beautiful. Milk zone is great they have fresh milk ice cream and delicious western food. We walk through many zone in circle flow and at the end near exit they have grilled BBQ provided. Eat delicious BBQ with very nice weather is awesome! I really love this place, if I travel to Iwate again I gonna visit this place.

It's amazing♪

Good for family visits. Good views and park areas.

Visited late October 2022 but I think we went too early to fully enjoy the fall colours. Nonethless it was a fun visit and a few activities to do. We arrived a bit late and wasn't familiar with the activities but you could sign up for multiple activites such as butter making experience and cow visiting activity. Personally enjoyed the archery and net resting area. Highly recommend this place to enjoy the greenery.

It's a great place to visit anytime. I was able to deepen my understanding by watching the development movie.

I think the snow farm would be good too.

Very beautiful illumination place. Fresh Yogurt and milk was very delicious 😋

Two men in their 30s were traveling to Koiwai Farm. Even though I'm from the Kansai region, I know Koiwai's name, so even though it wasn't in my itinerary, I decided to give it a try as I was passing by. Perhaps because it was a weekday, the vast grounds were empty. It was very relaxing. Since I hadn't had lunch, I decided to order the BBQ set. The meat is delicious, and so are the vegetables. Above all, the cheese is amazing. I've never eaten cheese like this. I didn't even know that there were cheeses that didn't melt when baked. The barbecue set was about 4,000 yen per person, but I think it's a bit unsatisfactory for an adult male. That's about the amount. However, there are places on the farm where you can eat soft-serve ice cream and various other things, so I think it's best to eat something that won't fill you up. Afterwards, take a walk around the grounds. It was a place where kids could have a lot of fun, such as being able to ride horses and do archery. On the way home, I bought a lot of souvenirs. It's far away and I can't go there often, but I'd like to go again someday.

A very nice place for a family outing. You can use the public bus from morioka station east exit bus stop no:10. On weekends and holidays there is a morning bus around 9am. All other days only at 13:00. The last bus return from the farm is at 15:30. All rides and experience costs extra apart from entry fees. There are enough rest rooms and food stalls and restaurants. Overall a good experience.

Good fun for kids to play and explore. Fun winter events.

Big farm with lots of illuminations and snow during the winter. There is also good food inside. Spacious fun and interesting! It costs 1000 yen to go in as an adult.

This is Jimoty. I wasn't very impressed with this year's Night Illumi at Galaxy Farm. Maybe it was because there was no magic of snowy scenery? Perhaps due to a change in the layout, there is no illumination in front of the entrance, which I want to create a sense of excitement. The concept is almost the same as last year. Perhaps because there are too many colors, the overall look is cluttered and unrefined. It might be a good idea to decide on a main color and use the other colors as accents or to keep things neat. Pyon Pyonsha Inaricho store along the way looks beautiful even though it has many colors, but I wonder why. The indoor objects were cute and got me excited, but I was disappointed in the flat layout as they were placed directly on the floor. I'm Jimoty, so I'll continue to support him.

Spent around 3 hours at Koiwai Farm last week. It was a good place for family or friends to relax. Some areas were perfect for reading. JR pass holders got a small discount on the tickets.

We love this place very much, they have a big playground for children and some facilities for family to spend a half day. The cow cottage is worth visiting and don't forget to buy a bottle of fresh milk and ice-cream, you will never forget the fresh taste!

It is an amazing farm with lots of fun activities. The parking lot is big and free. The admission fee is reasonable. You need to pay each activity separately inside. There is no free pass. Comparing the the other similar farms it is not too big, you can walk around with your kids easily. There are restaurants (pizza, bbq, etc), shopping areas for souvenirs and fresh products like milk, yogurt, soft cream and many more. Soft cream is definitely recommended. Very tasty. Fresh milk is must try one. We couldn’t see cows since they very in a different place but we had a chance to watch a dog and sheeps show. Pony ride, craft activities, archery, mirror maze, horse car, water activities are great options. There are guided tours. Better to check the times at the entrance.

Recommend visiting this place on a sunny day as most of the cows are stuck in their respective barns.

We were here on 1st of 2019 , its all covered with snow with very little activities , in the evening there are lights up ( illumination) which looks very beautiful specially the train which looks like a wedding train in the lights . We had a warm cup of fresh milk and enjoyed the evening at the most .

The grounds of the farm are beautiful with lovely staff running the place. Lots of activities for all where you can easily while away the day there. Also lots of delicious eating options. Be sure to try their omu rice!

Here me out. My family and I were so excited about this place. The grounds are beautiful and they have a lot of fun activities. However, if you plan to actually do anything you will go broke. We thought that the entrance fee was for something but everything costs another 500 yen or more per person. Not worth the drive or the hundreds of dollars you will spend here!

Lovely and romantic place. We visited there during weekday so it's very peaceful and we could enjoy photos time 😊 One of recommended place for snow festival.

Loved, loved, loved it! Awesome experiences for the kids in a beautiful relaxing and spacious place

A beautiful single cherry tree with a view of Mt. iwate is beyond words, and a large ranch has many activities.

Located in Iwate perfection nestled in a green valley with amazon views of mount Iwate. A fun place to spend the whole day with family and kids. They have classes you can sign up for about cattle farming and milking and cheese etc. Train rides, and other children play activities which vary from season to season, outdoor paddle Boats for toddlers, small electric trains, cord trampoline jumping and more. 3 restraints on site charcoal bbq, grilled meat and ramen all serving Koiwai farm meat.

I was able to go see the Iwate Ginga Farm illumination before the snow fell, and it was fantastic, the best illumination with Mt.

3/30. Paid to enter the farm. Most of the attractions, restaurants and shops were closed. Having been many times I expected more to be open on days when you PAY to enter. If it is free then having most things closed is acceptable. Staff was not helpful when I suggested they inform customers of the limited offerings.
