Ideboku Dairy Farm, home to the charming "Milk House" shop where you can indulge in freshly made gelato, yogurt, and artisan cheeses. Nestled amidst a semi-rural/suburban area, the farm offers a delightful retreat for gelato and an up-close experience with dairy cows.
Step into the Milk House and treat yourself to their signature gelato and yogurt, crafted from the freshest milk sourced directly from the cows located right next to the shop. As you make your selection, simply use the convenient vending machine near the entrance to complete your purchase. A ticket will be issued, which you can then present to the friendly staff for filling your order.
In addition to their delectable gelato and yogurt, the farm takes pride in their history, tracing back to the early Meiji Era (1868 to 1912) when Ideboku Dairy Farm first began its journey. Established in 1996, the Milk House not only showcases their dairy products but also offers visitors the opportunity to witness the cows being milked each morning in a meticulously maintained barn.
For those planning a visit, you can take a train and bus or drive straight to the farm. If you're traveling by train and bus, from Fujinomiya Station, hop on board the Shiraito Falls via Kitakomae route bus and alight at Kitayama-Shutchojo Bus Stop. It is just a short 9-minute walk from the farm.
Alternatively, drivers can take the Shin-Tomei Expressway to the Shin-Fuji Interchange, then follow National Route 139 towards Fujinomiya. Take the Kitayama Interchange exit, and you'll find their parking lot a mere 9-minute drive away.
The dairy farm offers a serene respite from the hectic pace of city life, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in its tranquil ambiance. Situated near the foot of majestic Mt. Fuji, Ideboku Dairy Farm provides a picturesque backdrop as you enjoy a close-up view of contented dairy cows resting peacefully in the neighboring cow stalls.
