Oga Farm is a bit of a misnomer as it is really a garden and a very pleasant one to boot. Beautifully sited with a southern aspect on a bluff overlooking Beppu Bay, Oga Farm is a calming botanical oasis edged by woodlands. It is centred on an extensive rose garden, which has over 1,000 individual plants composed of 600 varietals, a herb and a kitchen garden. Many other plants are found throughout including sakura cherry blossom, mimosa, perennial and bulb flowers that add extra seasonal colours and interest.
