Learn about the SDGs with your children! What is the appeal of the ecological theme garden "Ecorin Village"?
Ecorin Village in Eniwa City is an ecological theme garden that boasts a total area of 150 hectares. There is a lot to see on this magnificent site! We will introduce some of them here!
Ecorin Village is a facility that is almost free to use, but we highly recommend the paid "Galaxy Garden & Green Farm." As its name suggests, the garden is filled with reverence and gratitude for nature, as if spinning a picture story each season. Created by one of the world's leading garden designers, the scenery is so beautiful that even those who are not familiar with flowers will be captivated.
The popular Dahlia Week runs from mid-September to mid-October. The adorable, round, ball-like dahlias bring a smile to everyone's face. The colorful, vitamin-filled colors are sure to cheer you up just by looking at them!
Roses, which are as popular as dahlias, are in full bloom during Rose Week, which runs from late June to mid-July. The abundance of roses, with their beautiful beauty and fragrance, spreads throughout the garden, signaling the arrival of summer.
During Golden Flower Week from late April to early May, daffodils, heralding the arrival of spring, paint the Galaxy Garden yellow. The Galaxy Garden entertains us as it changes with the seasons.
After enjoying the Galaxy Garden, why not check out Midori no Ranch? With a ticket, you can enter and exit both facilities as many times as you like.
At Midori Farm, you can meet many animals, including alpacas, llamas, and miniature horses. The highlight of the show is the Midori Farm Show. Sheepdogs and their handlers work in perfect harmony to bring a flock of sheep right in front of the audience. The audience is moved by the trust between the animals and the people, and can't help but burst into applause!
Furthermore, Ecorin Village is also home to the world's largest tomato forest! In 2013, it was certified as the world's largest tomato tree, and every year, over 10,000 tomatoes bear fruit from just one seed. You can visit this forest for free.
If you get hungry after looking around, why not stop for a meal in Ecorin Village? You can either enjoy a leisurely meal at a restaurant, or make a reservation in advance on the website and have a barbecue at the BBQ House. There are two restaurants: "Rakudaken Pasta and Authentic Wood-fired Pizza" and "Forest Restaurant Ten-Man." This time, we will visit Ten-Man, which is right next to the Ginga Garden.
Ten-Man is a buffet restaurant that serves an abundance of roast pork and seasonal vegetables from Ecorin Village. As a facility that allows you to come into contact with nature in abundance, you will be able to fully experience its blessings. Fill your stomach with the bounty of nature.
We have only introduced a small part of Ecorin Village. You can also do camping and craft experiences... Ecorin Village is a fun place to learn about the connections between food, agriculture, and the environment, and you can also learn about SDGs efforts with your children. Opening times and periods vary depending on the facility, so please check the official website before you go.
