After that, we approached and disappeared into the mountains.

Just hearing this, you may feel that nature is still left, but we also raise rabbits for ornamental purposes at our ranch.

The fact that hares live in farms is a very big problem from the perspective of epidemic prevention and breeding plans.

The rabbits we raise for appreciation are raised in an environment that is easy to see so that visitors can appreciate them.
