We have created an environment where children can enjoy spending time with animals, swinging, and climbing trees.
We do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers in our fields, so please feel the comfort of the sun and wind as you touch the soil in the fields with various insects and plants.
I suggest you use all your senses, touch, sight, smell, and taste, to try and see how fresh and fragrant the freshly picked vegetables are in season!

There are oceans, mountains, and rivers nearby. In the summer, you can go swimming and play in the river. In winter, you can enjoy a relaxing cup of tea by the fire.

If the weather is good, you can see the stars very beautifully at night. Enjoy the real starry sky that looks better than a planetarium.
