掲載日:2020.03.04

GokatsuraLake Furusatomura is a leisure complex where you can enjoy BBQ, pedal boating, and hunting for seasonal delicacies, as well as a zoo where you can interact with cute animals.
This is a recommended spot where you can spend the day with family and friends. I enjoyed the day with my friends and family!

Here at GokatsuraLake Furusato Village, the ``Flower and Animal Contact Plaza'' is very popular, where you can enjoy interacting with animals such as holding cute small animals such as rabbits and chicks, and feeding ponies!

When the children arrived at GokatsuraLake Furusato Village, they couldn't stop being excited, saying, ``I want to meet the animals as soon as possible!''
Let's go inside!

The ``Flower and Animal Contact Plaza'' is based on the concept of ``a zoo where you can interact with animals up close'' and houses approximately 250 animals of 49 species. First, check out the park map!

*The animals you can interact with will change depending on your physical condition.

The appeal of this place is that you can have fun walking around the park while feeding the animals.
If you buy cabbage or other food at the entrance to the park (200 yen per basket), you can enjoy it even more, so I bought it right away.
There are food vending machines throughout the park.

Cute rabbits will welcome you right away!
When I brought out food such as cabbage and carrots, the rabbits started flocking to me!
“It’s so cute!” Both the child and the mother were overjoyed!

Feeding the miniature horse with cute bangs♪
The children were a little scared at first, but they quickly became friends!
The children also fed them a lot.

This is the "petting room" where you can interact with small animals such as chicks, guinea pigs, and rabbits.
Holding little chicks...

Hold and touch hamsters and guinea pigs...
Even small children can have a valuable experience interacting with various animals.

Next, we went to a zone with various animals such as turtles, bears, Japanese macaques, mouflons, and maras.
You can enjoy walking around the park. I was able to capture a lot of cute animals' expressions in photos♪

Finally, head to the area where the goats and sheep are waiting. Feel like a zookeeper as you interact with the animals up close? The children are also very happy.

*The animals you can interact with will change depending on your physical condition.

If you're hungry, have a barbecue for lunch!
This barbecue area is a great barbeque spot with all the necessary barbecue stoves, charcoal, nets, and fire starters.
All rooms are covered, so you don't have to worry about sudden rain.

You can also purchase vegetables and other ingredients at Marche Grandma, which is located within the facility, so you can easily enjoy the experience without bringing anything.

We will move forward with our own feet.
All pedals are linked, so let's all work together to move forward!

It takes about 30 minutes to go around the pond.

By the time I got back, I was sweating...
