Yamagata Prefecture is famous nationwide as a kingdom of fruits. In Yamagata, you can enjoy a wide variety of fruits, including summer cherry, peaches, grapes, la France, apples, and persimmons.
In particular, Takahashi Fruit Land in Kamiyama City offers seasonal fruit picking and freshly picked sweets. This is a must-have spot if you want to play with fruits in Yamagata.

Kaminoyama City is located in the southern part of Yamagata Prefecture. There are orchards in the area. Since the area also has hot springs, it is visited by many tourists. There you will find ``Takahashi Fruit Land,'' which we will introduce this time. Reservations are required for fruit picking. The fruits that can be harvested vary depending on the season.

Cherry picking starts from late May

From late May to early July, cherry trees, which are Yamagata's most representative fruits, can be harvested.

You can hunt either in house or in the open land. Takahashi Fruitland mainly produces "Sato Nishiki", "Benishuho", "Daisho Nishiki", and "Gatsuyama Nishiki", which is famous for its yellow cherry. You can eat as many hunted cherries as you like for 2,700 yen for 30 minutes.

Grape picking from late September

Grape picking is available for around a month from late September to late October.

All-you-can-eat for 30 minutes is 540 yen. You can enjoy a variety of grapes, including Niyagara, Steuben, and Shine Muscat. It's also fun to compare which one is your favorite.

Hunting for La France from early October

La France can be harvested from early to late October.

La France is characterized by its soft texture compared to Japanese pears. Takahashi Fruitland's La France in particular is famous for its sweet and rich aroma. It costs 750 yen per 3 pieces. It's very large and is extremely satisfying.

Experience making dried persimmons from late October

You can experience making dried persimmons from late October to late November.

You will be taught the know-how of making dried persimmons using professional skills. Dried persimmons are very sweet compared to raw ones, and many people become engrossed. It's also interesting to try making dried persimmons using the method taught me after getting home.

The attached "HATAKE Cafe" is very popular

This cafe is very popular. The parfait made with plenty of freshly picked cherry and the pudding a la mode, which is interwoven with seasonal fruits, are particularly popular. When you stop by Takahashi Fruitland, we recommend relaxing while enjoying some delicious sweets.
