Sheep Feeding Experience at "Iwanuma Sheep Village"
35 sheep live happily on our sheep farm which was constructed with local residents in the disaster-stricken coastal area of Iwanuma City. Around the sheep farm, a plaza, a dog run park (separate fee), and a farm have been developed. Just like spinning sheep wool brings things together, our goal is to make a place that connects "people to people," "people to resources," and "memories of the past and the future."
