Harvest Hill
August 26, 2009
We had a pleasant day out with good friends last Sunday at a quaint little place called Harvest Hill, located in Sakai City, Osaka. I think it’s what’s called a “farm park”, or a farm-themed theme park. It’s quite a big park with a lot of greenery, a lot more than what I can usually see in the city so it was quite a welcome change.
There are a lot of things to do in the park like experience different farm activities like milking cows, making your own sausages, leatherworking, and even glassblowing. There were many county fair-style booths with games too but unfortunately they were so old and crappy that it really wasn’t any fun. We had a nice little yakiniku bbq and then walked around the park. There were a few farm animals but they were in pretty sad shape.
Compared to any real farm, or to a real theme park, this place would be pretty sad but it was definitely nice to leave the city and walk around trees and grass for a change.
