Kurokawa Higashi Farming Estate (黒川東営農団地)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A potato-digging event run by farmers on the Kurokawa Higashi Farming Estate in Asao Ward, Kawasaki City. It typically runs from early September to the end of October (ending earlier if reservations fill up or the harvest runs out). In September it's held Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays only; from October it runs daily. The per-plant digging price is 300 yen for sweet potatoes and 250 yen for peanuts (current price as listed on the official website). Pull the vine and dig the soil, and big sweet potatoes pop up one after another, making it enjoyable even for small children. Having parking and restrooms is also reassuring for families.

Season & hours

Tips

Please always check the official website before you go for the dates held, how to sign up, and whether a reservation is required. Introduction pages from Kawasaki City or tourism-association-related sites may still show older prices, so the current price listed on the official website is the correct one. The field is on bare soil, so don't forget shoes that can get dirty and work gloves.

Best time to visit

Afternoon - take home freshly dug sweet potatoes and peanuts as they are
