About this spot

A farmers' market in Higashine City where the fruit and vegetables of this region — known as the kingdom of fruit trees — appear season by season. In summer the star shifts from the end of the cherry season to peaches and then watermelon, and simply looking at the shelves tells you what time of year it is. It is a shop that local people use every day, so the prices and quantities feel refreshingly down-to-earth. You can also buy something light to eat and have lunch in the outdoor space or in the car. Stocking up on drinks for the afternoon water play is a good idea.

Tips

The selection is best on weekend mornings, but popular fruit can sell out early. Cars get very hot inside, so bring a cooler bag or ice packs for fresh produce. Check opening hours and closed days on the official information.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. Late morning to midday, when the selection is good, is recommended
