    Example Word

    牧場: pasture or ranch. The Japanese noun '牧場 (ぼくじょう)' refers to a place where livestock such as cows, horses, or sheep are raised. It can mean both a 'ranch' (a large farm for raising animals) and a 'pasture' (a field where animals graze). This word is commonly used in rural or agricultural contexts. Example sentences: I visited a ranch「牧場を訪れました」(ぼくじょうをおとずれました). The cows are grazing in the pasture「牛が牧場で草を食べています」(うしがぼくじょうでくさをたべています). The distinction between 'ranch' and 'pasture' depends on the context, but both meanings are closely related to animal husbandry.
