Key points when choosing a farm you can reach by train
When visiting by train, the distance from the station and ease of walking strongly affect your fatigue level. It helps to confirm the conditions below before choosing a farm.
Is the route flat and easy to walk?
Routes with fewer slopes and stairs are smoother for families with children.
Is it stroller-friendly?
Well-paved roads with enough width make the walk safer and more comfortable.
Is vehicle traffic manageable?
Ideally, choose a farm with a route that avoids heavy-traffic roads and allows safe walking.
Common travel mistakes and how to avoid them
This checklist helps prevent common travel-day mistakes so you can move calmly and efficiently.
Aim to arrive 10-15 minutes before your booking time
(Also check weekend and holiday timetables)
(For example, whether you can still arrive on time if you miss one train)
Platform transfers and restroom breaks often take longer than app estimates. If traveling with children, add about 10-15 minutes.
