About this spot

A hands-on facility run by Hekinan City with farming as its theme. Greenhouses and fields adjoin the building, offering seasonal vegetable-harvesting experiences, while the farm stand is stocked with locally grown produce and processed goods. Hekinan is known as a production area for carrots, onions, and more, and simply browsing the shelves conveys how deep the region's agriculture runs. Children take an interest just from seeing the furrows and the ripening vegetables, so even a quick look around while shopping is plenty of fun. Stop by in the cool of the morning to get ready for the afternoon's water play.

Tips

The content and price of harvesting experiences and the closed days vary by season, so check the official website in advance. If you buy fresh produce, a cooler bag lets you leave it in the car with peace of mind during the afternoon water play. The greenhouses get hot, so bring a drink and keep your visit short for comfort.
