Poppo Farm (Sweet Potato Digging)

イモ掘り(ポッポ農園)1
Hello, I am Kaori.
In autumn in Japan, many people dig sweet potatoes, so I visited Poppo Farm.
In the wide fields, you can touch the soil and enjoy freshly dug sweet potatoes.
There is also a mini steam locomotive, said to be the longest in Japan. Children and adults can enjoy it.

At Poppo Farm, you should also ride the mini steam locomotive, which is said to be the longest in Japan.
Of course I rode it.
When you ride it, you can feel how long the track is.
Even though it is a mini train, it feels like a short railway trip.

This mini steam train is larger than the mini trains in city parks.
The track is about 1,200 meters long and circles the farm.
The ticket price is also reasonable.
When the train runs through the wind, you can hear the wheels on the track.
Many people say the ride is very fun.
They say the breeze feels good.
They are surprised that the track is so long.
Children and adults enjoy talking during the ride.
It is a simple ride, but it leaves a strong impression.
