The aim of this research is to clarify the actual condition of the farm inn in Germany especially in Baden-Wurttemberg state (BW) in the southern Germany where farm inn has been developed. Two typical farm inns were chosen from each 3 regions, Bodensee-Oberschwaben (BO), Neckarland-Schwaben(NS), Schwarzwald(SW), total 6 farm inns were investigated. Interviews were made to the farmers about management of farm inn, agriculture, and forestry. Most of visitors came from Germany for all 6 farm inns. The number of visitors has slightly increased in 5 inns. In NS, people visited farm inn mainly for enjoying the countryside. Some stayed there in a couple of days for business. On the other hand, in Bo and SW people came for enjoying not only country life but famous scenery. Two types of management attitude were found. One was very active to get more visitors and try to give good and attractive services. The other was not active for they felt they got enough visitors.
