Takachiho Farm is a scenic agricultural tourism site located at the foot of the Kirishima mountain range in Miyazaki Prefecture. The facility specializes in dairy production, offering visitors opportunities to observe and interact with cows, sheep, and horses. It functions as an integrated production site where fresh milk is processed into dairy products like soft-serve ice cream, yogurt, and sausages on-site.
