Have you ever wanted to surround yourself with ostriches? Probably not but now you can anyway at Ishioka Ostrich Farm. 

With around 1300 ostriches living on the farm, Ishioka Ostrich farm is (somewhat unsurprisingly) the largest ostrich farm in Japan. Surround yourself with ostriches and experience feeding and touching these magnificent birds.

If you successfully survive the ostrich zone, you can also pet other animals such as ponies, donkeys and alpacas.

The on-site shop sells products made from ostrich leather and ostrich feathers, and the BBQ area offers the chance to try healthy ostrich meat or a giant fried egg! Nothing says ‘I went to Japan’ like ostrich leather goods.
