In April 2021, the Chiba Usin Hiroba, which was opened in a natural satoyama in Wakaba -ku, Chiba -shi, is a campsite built using ranches where cows live leisurely. Including auto camping, day camps, barbecue, Marche, where local vegetables gather, and "Tomita Satoniwa -no -Garden," where you can enjoy seasonal flowers. Let's introduce the charms and ways of enjoying the facilities that you can spend on a large site, even if you do not plan. [Photo] You can get in the car from the entrance to the camp park ■ [Access] Trip to the peaceful satoyama in about 10 minutes from the IC! Wakaba Ward, which boasts the largest area in the city, northeastern Chiba City. The Chiba Ushino Hiroba, located in the countryside, is an air pocket -like space about 6 km away from Chiba City Monorail, Chiba City Monorail, Senjodai Station. Although it is somewhat inconvenient by train, it is an auto campsite, so many people visit by car. It is attractive that it is easy to access from inside and outside the city, about 10 minutes from Chiba Higashi Gold Road and Takada IC, or about 20 minutes from the East Kanto Expressway and Sakura IC. In the case of a train, there is a community bus from Senjodai Station, but it takes about one every 1 to 2 hours and the ride time takes about 30 minutes, so a taxi is convenient (10 to 15 minutes from the ride time). On the way back, you can make a reservation in advance or check the bus time because there is almost no taxi of the sink. ■ [Concept] This facility, which has a vast site of 10 hectares, aims to be a place where cows, people and nature intersect gently, is originally a dairy ranch in the city that opened in 1968. It has been reborn as a tourist facility "Chiba Usinobu", a tourist facility that allows you to enjoy the charm of the region, such as camping, barbecue, and Marche, while leaving the role of a ranch for raising calf as a dairy cow. "The concept is a place where cows, people and nature intersect gently. I wanted to create a place where local people gathered and urban people could switch switches." , Tetsutaro Kawakami, the representative director of Chiba Ranch Co., Ltd., who took over the operation from the city. His mother is a design company, so the original barns, warehouses, and waste materials of unused buildings are used as they are, and they are stylishly renovated. The design that has made the environment and lasts a high reputation and has won the sustainable space award for the Japan's largest design award, Japan Space Design Award 2021. "We aim to be able to convey the charm of the area first. We are trying to create a space that can help you with rich nature and provide content that allows you to experience local production for local consumption." The "center house" that appears immediately is one of the sustainable space design. The building that was a farm equipment warehouse was renovated as a information center and shop. The shelves and waste materials in the warehouse era are reused on tables, creating a tasty atmosphere. At the shop corner, we sell vegetables grown by local farmers in the facility, and foods made in Kujukuri local factory operated by Mr. Kawakami as a separate business. It is also recommended to use it as a barbecue ingredient, or enjoy choosing souvenirs. ■ [Tent site] The free site of the lawn with a high degree of freedom is a full sense of openness! The camp site where you can get in by car is an open area with scones, the blank blue sky and rattle spread. Four or less will be used for one section, up to 2 cars and 2 tents. If there are 5 to 8 people, 2 sections are OK for two sections and 9 people are OK. However, there is no partition in the parcels, so put a tent or tarp in your favorite place and make a base for staying. The site is roughly divided into areas and has a name that makes usage images. The place closest to the entrance is "you like a site". It is a convenient and flat site close to facilities such as toilets, shower, and cooking buildings. Because it is close to the barn, you can see the distant view of the cow. The back side is "Jiyuni Site". You can enjoy a camp with a calm atmosphere. The "relaxing site" is located a little away across the garden road. It is attractive that pets are OK, 11:00 check -out (usually 10 o'clock). It is adjacent to "Tomita Sato Niwa Takaen", so it is nice to be able to see the seasonal flower garden. The day of the interview was a weekday, so I saw many solo campers. Daisuke Uchimura was one of them, and a chimney and wood stove was set up in the one -pole tent, and the cold weather was perfect. "This is the closest campsite from the house, and I used it for the second time. Last night I spent a relaxing time while drinking a hot pot in the tent and drinking alcohol," he said. rice field. ■ [Lodge Building] It is a popular camp site for beginners, even beginners, and enjoy camping mood, but there is also a lodge building recommended for beginner groups and families. There are two buildings and eight capacity each, each of which is environmentally friendly, with solar panels and storage batteries. There is no need to set up a tent, and there are all facilities such as cots (simple beds for outdoor), shuffles (sleeping bags), and blankets, so even those who are not used to outdoors are safe. In addition, the theme songs are set up for each of the four lodges, and there are also art. It is also unique to have names related to songs, such as "letters", "legal strangers", and "free people in Paris". Let's enjoy the story of each lodge while staying. ■ [Utility] Check out facilities that combine comfort and design. Common facilities such as shower rooms, toilets, and kitchens are gathered in one area and are located at the middle point between the center house and the tent site. Only the sustainable space award is awarded, and the ingenuity and usability that make use of the natural environment are endorsed. The shower room renovates a building that was a toilet for staff from the municipal ranch era. It is finished in a simple modern design of gray tile x wood door. The usage time is from 16:00 to 20:00 on weekdays, 16 to 22:00 on weekends and holidays, 300 yen for 20 minutes. There is no amenities such as shampoo or body soap, and it is not sold, so don't forget to bring it. The dryer can be rented for free at the center house. In the toilet, a simple building with a direct roof with the image of a tent is one man and woman. The representative, Kawakami's desire to make the most beautiful campsite in Japan! By not bringing the mud attached in nature inside, you can maintain a clean sanitary space. The cooking building that can use water as a cooking area is a simple design that pursues users' usability. Because it is a place where people are concentrated depending on the time of day, it is nice to secure a flow line that can pass through. ■ [Recommended points] I want to use it many times! Attractive systems and events that have just opened this facility have many repeaters, one of the reasons for this is the introduction of the subscriber system. "Take a break on the weekend, take a break", so we want you to enjoy the camp with such an ease, so we have a flat -rate plan. It can be used as many times as 2970 yen a month, so if you come once a month, you will be able to remove it. If you register as a member and collect stamps, you can get a great coupon. In addition, the existence of a training ranch is the only thing that cannot be removed in talking about the charm of this facility. For more than half a century, the fostering business that has been run in this land has been taken over, and the female calf taken from a dairy farmer has lived at a glimpse of the appropriate age. If you look at the veals from outside the fence, it is inevitable that you will be healed by its lovingness! I'm looking forward to the experience of interacting with veals in the future. Fun events and options regularly are also a secret that supports repeat popularity. A typical one is Tomida Marche, which is held every Saturday. At the venue of the facility's landmark "Daofu Garden Yaho", it also sells original products developed using Chiba agricultural products, as well as fresh and vegetables grown by Chiba farmers. Once every three months, an event called "Hirobabiraki" is held, not only local food, but also antique furniture and handmade miscellaneous goods. In front of the Daofu Garden Yahho, a kitchen car -shaped milk bar stand "26 o'clock" is opened only on weekends and holidays. You can enjoy fresh local milk, coffee, and karui milk, so I would like to stop by between camps. In addition, as an option, we hold LED lantern -producing workshops every Saturday and harvest experience in the fall, so check the homepage frequently. ■ [How to enjoy] If you come to a satoyama rich in nature with a leisurely satoyama experience, you want to forget the time and spend a relaxed time. At this facility, a nice reading & walk experience will come true. In the space next to the center house, the Aozora Library opens every day from 9:30 to 16:00 (excluding rainy weather). The bookshelves made using waste materials include donated books with thoughts, such as books of memories and books that you want to connect to someone. A moment of sitting on the bench under the blue sky and turning the book page while feeling the insects, bird voices, and soil smell will be a special reading time different from usual. To take a walk, go to "Tomita Sato Niwa Takaen", which is adjacent to the campsite. Shibazakura and nemophila in the spring, and cosmos in the fall, and can be interacted with nature through the four seasons. Also pay attention to facilities that are nice for child -rearing families. Wakaba no Tomari Gigi, an indoor space for children, is for about one year old to junior high school students. Under the theme of “a close -up place for children -based children,” it consists of two spaces, an area for preschoolers and an area where you can work on it. It seems to be useful when a child gets tired of the camp or suddenly rains and cannot play outside. When using, let's accept at the center house. ■ [Day trip plan] No purchase! In the lawn area where you can enjoy local ingredients empty -handed, you can also enjoy day camps and day -trip barbecue. If you use a plan with fresh meat and vegetables, grills and charcoal tools, there is no problem if you leave empty -handed! Course where you can enjoy the affiliated ranch, Kogen Black Cow, Chiba Prefecture pork sausage, and Chiba Usino Hiro Ba Original Fukujin pickles are 3410 yen per person. BBQ stove (1), grilled net, iron plate, charcoal (1).5 km), cooking tools, dishes and chopsticks, etc. are also included, making it a great plan including admission. Of course, bringing in ingredients and equipment is OK. Finally, when I asked Mr. Kawakami about his future prospects, he said, "I'm planning a local production for local consumption where you can eat while looking for a pond using an unused barn. I thought it would be nice to have a bath. It's a ranch, so milk bath! " In addition to enjoying camping, "Chiba Ushino Hiroba" is a variety of ways to enjoy it that incorporates the natural environment and local charm. It seems that you can expect even more exciting developments beyond the campsite. ■ [Hayami Table] Basic information coverage of the facility / sentence = Yoko Tayama, Ayae Mizushima * If the price in the article is not described in particular, it is displayed.
