Ishioka Ostrich Farm

Have you ever wanted to surround yourself with ostriches?
With around 1300 ostriches living on the farm, Ishioka Ostrich farm is (somewhat unsurprisingly) the largest ostrich farm in Japan. Be enveloped by ostriches and experience feeding and touching these magnificent birds.
The on-site shop sells products made from ostrich leather and ostrich feathers. Moreover, the barbecue area offers the opportunity to taste healthy ostrich meat or a giant fried egg!

Science Expo Memorial Park

This park was developed on land previously used during the 1985 World Exhibition. The grounds are worth a visit during autumn and spring.
In autumn, rows of ginkgo trees shower the ground with bright yellow leaves. Over 300 cherry trees fill the park with pale pink petals in spring.

Ushiku Chateau

The winery was established in 1903, and the buildings were designed in a mixture of European and Japanese architectural styles. Ushiku Chateau is a pioneer of Japanese wineries. It is listed as a cultural heritage by the Japanese government.

Visitors can dine at the restaurant, renovated from a brick-clad wine cellar built over 100 years ago. They can also browse the souvenir shop, which handles various wines and confections. The memorial hall displays historical material, such as wooden wine barrels, bottles, posters, and photographs, from the winery's early days. A garden furnished with a fountain, flower garden, and trees is also located on the grounds. Visitors can stroll around or enjoy a barbecue.
