Moment of Joy

At Sera Mukai Farm, you can enjoy picking fruits of Japanese varieties that are rare in the West. The farm cultivates six varieties of apples like the Tsugaru, and several cultivars of grapes, including the Pione, a specialty of Miyoshi City in Hiroshima Prefecture. The farm also produces varieties of pears and apples, such as La France and Fuji, respectively, which are well known in the West. All of the fruits produced at the farm are “low in agricultural chemicals and herbicide-free,” so you can eat them with peace of mind.
