Parking

Large parking lot that can accommodate 500 cars

Farm Tomita has a large parking lot that can accommodate approximately 500 cars. Parking is free and available 24 hours a day, which is a great advantage. However, as it is a large parking lot, it's important to be careful not to forget where you parked your car. In addition, during the evening rush hour, the road leading to the main road becomes very congested, so it's recommended to allow plenty of time for travel.
