🐑Shiga Prefecture | A Wholesome Day at Shaun the Sheep Farm Garden🌸

#summervacay I spent a relaxing day at the Shaun the Sheep Farm Garden and Rose Garden in Maibara at the end of the month — perfect for a solo getaway or a fun family outing! 🌹First stop: The Rose Garden As you enter the park, you’re greeted by rows of blooming roses — this is peak flower season, so take your time and enjoy the view. 🐑Next stop: Shaun the Sheep Theme Farm Follow the signs down the main path and you’ll soon arrive at the theme farm. It’s such a cute and heartwarming place, especially if you’re a fan of the show. Here’s what you’ll find: A BBQ area A baking experience zone (make your own Shaun-shaped bread — highly recommend going here first! Bake it, explore the farm, then come back to pick it up) A gift shop A small petting zoo with sheep and goats Scattered replica houses from the Shaun the Sheep animation — my personal favorite part! 🎂 Food note: The Hillside Café serves cute sheep-themed ice cream and cakes — both adorable and tasty. 👶 Petting zoo: Though small, it’s great for little kids to feed the sheep. Just be prepared — the smell can be a bit strong! 🕒Opening hours Regular season (March–November): 10:00–17:00 (Last entry 16:30) Summer holidays, weekends & holidays: 10:00–18:00 (Last entry 17:30) 🎟️Ticket prices Adults (Junior high and up): ¥1,900 Children (4 years and up): ¥1,000 Children under 3: Free Prices increase by ¥300 during peak seasons: Golden Week (Apr 26–May 6), Rose Season (May 17–June 9), Obon (Aug 9–17) 📍If you’re around Shiga or Kansai and looking for a relaxing, charming place that’s not too crowded — especially one with a bit of British countryside flair — this place is worth a stop! 😊 #shigatravel #shaunthesheepfarm #japanfamilytravel #maibara
