About this spot

A sightseeing farm run jointly by farmers in the Nagura area (名倉地区) of Midori Ward, Sagamihara City. Sweet potato digging runs from around September to mid-November, chestnut gathering from around September to October, mountain yam digging from around September through late April of the following year, and mushrooms such as shiitake can be enjoyed year-round. The experience itself is free, with payment based on the amount you actually harvest (since prices per item are not officially published, please check on the day). Parking and restrooms are available, so families can visit with peace of mind.
