Time Out says

Harvest Hill is an expansive farm-themed park on the outskirts of Sakai that invites visitors to get close to nature and animals, and also offers seasonal flower exhibitions and various activities and workshops for family fun.

If you’re a fan of furry beasts, you’ll love to know that the park’s three resident capybaras get to enjoy hot-spring baths during the cold winter months. During daily meet-and-greet sessions with the capybaras, you can pet and feed these gentle giant rodents, and watch as they lounge around and doze off while soaking in hot yuzu baths.

As the event is held outdoors, do note that the capybara sessions might be cancelled in the event of rain.
