Access
The farm lies in Chuguushi, Nikko City, at roughly 36.80 degrees north and 139.45 degrees east. It sits within the Okunikko area, on the highland reached by climbing the Irohazaka slopes toward Lake Chuzenji. As mountain regions have particular road and transit conditions, please confirm the latest transport, road, and opening information through official sources before you go.
Best season
Early summer, when the fresh greenery is at its brightest, through the height of summer when the meadows spread lush and green, is especially refreshing. Because Okunikko sits at high elevation, it stays cooler than the lowlands and makes a fine summer retreat. Autumn brings color to the surrounding mountains and clear highland air. Winter can be snowy and severely cold, so check opening status and timing via official information.
