Around Mt. Fuji, there are many spots where children can enjoy various activities. After playing a lot, enjoy BBQ with your family! Here I'll introduce 4 spots that I confidently recommend.

Fuji Milk Land

Located in the Asagiri plateau, "Fuji Milk Land" is a spot where you can enjoy various activities such as cycling, athletic facilities, and interacting with animals while viewing the spectacular scenery of Mt. Fuji. The farm is attached to the facility, and cheese-making experiences, which can only be enjoyed at farms, are very popular with children!

True to its name "Milk Land," the dairy products are exquisite. My recommendation is the "Sashimi cheese" made from fresh milk. This cheese with its soft and squishy mysterious texture goes perfectly with soy sauce! Please give it a try.

Of course, you can also enjoy BBQ at Milk Land. You can taste beef and pork raised around Mt. Fuji. The price starting from 2,100 yen makes it an attractively affordable option.
