The Ideboku Farm is a meticulously maintained boutique dairy farm. Here, cows are milked to produce the milk used in manufacturing gelato, yogurt, and artisan cheeses.

Other shops can be found throughout Shizuoka Prefecture, with one shop each in Kanagawa Prefecture and Chiba  Prefecture.

This dairy farm is the antithesis to industrial farming. The dairy products produced here are mostly sold within the local community at boutique shops and served to children at local school lunch cafeterias.  

Although my photo only shows Holsteins, the farm also raises Jersey and Brown Swiss cows.

Holstein milk is best suited for drinking; Jersey milk is ideal for making butter and ice cream; and Brown Swiss milk is said to be most suitable for cheese and drinking.

This dairy farm was a nice change from the hustle and bustle of the Tokyo metropolitan area. Not only was the gelato mouth-watering, but seeing up close the clean barns and adorable healthy cows that seemed very healthy and stress-free.

Ideboku Dairy Farm, home to the charming "Milk House" shop where you can indulge in freshly made gelato, yogurt, and artisan cheeses. Nestled amidst a semi-rural/suburban area, the farm offers a delightful retreat for gelato and an up-close experience with the dairy cows.

Step into the Milk House and treat yourself to their signature gelato and yogurt, crafted from the freshest milk sourced directly from the cows located right next to the shop.

In addition to their delectable gelato and yogurt, the farm takes pride in their history, tracing back to the early Meiji Era (1868 to 1912) when Ideboku Dairy Farm first began its journey.

For those considering a visit, reaching the farm by car typically takes between 2 to 3 hours via the Tomei Expressway, though travel time may vary depending on traffic conditions. Alternatively, if you opt for public transportation, taking the bullet train followed by a bus ride will generally require 3 to 3 and a half hours.

The dairy farm offers a serene respite from the hectic pace of city life, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in its tranquil ambiance. Situated near the foot of majestic Mt. Fuji, Ideboku Dairy Farm provides a picturesque backdrop as you enjoy a close-up view of contented dairy cows resting peacefully in the neighboring cow stalls.
