These has been a recent increase in the number of people visiting farms to commune with nature and animals. Therefore, some farms have built resting facilities. However, ordinary facilities for farming or cattle raising have not seen an improvement of their facilities, and they create a less than favorable impression on their visitors. In these facilities, the fence, one of the more conspicuous facilities of the farm, is one facility that can be easily improved. Landscapes with fences were evaluated using photographs of the fences composed of different materials and colors in the same or different backgrounds by 103 Taiwanese and 205 Japanese university students. The result showed that all students prefer wooden post and horizontal board fences to iron post and wire fences, and that they also prefer white as the fence's primary color. Chromatic difference and chromatic degree were measured to analyze the difference of color preference between Taiwanese and Japanese students. Based on the results, the higher the points of chromatic difference between the fence and the pasture, the higher the evaluation of the landscape with hence. Furthermore, it seems that the difference in evaluation was caused by personal preference, national character, and the regional differences concerning colors on the part of Taiwanese and Japanese students
