Naitai Highland Ranch
ナイタイ高原牧場
A public ranch of about 1,700 hectares, Japan's largest, with a hilltop terrace overlooking the Tokachi Plain and cattle grazing on rolling grassy slopes.
Naitai Highland Ranch is in Kamishihoro Town. It covers about 1,700 hectares, roughly the size of 358 Tokyo Domes, and is Japan's largest public ranch, grazing about 2,000 dairy cows in summer. Drive up the ranch road to the summit, where the 'Naitai Terrace' has a café with floor-to-ceiling windows and an observation deck. From there you can see the endless Tokachi Plain, and on good days the view is extraordinarily wide. It is one of Tokachi's signature landscapes. Admission is free, and it is open from about May to October. It is about 1 hour by car from Obihiro and can be combined with Nukabira Lake and Lake Shikaribetsu.
