Japanese Cherry Picking (さくらんぼ狩り）

June is not very popular month because of rain, but there is two great reasons to be in Japan.

One is to see flower "Hydrangea", and the other is "Japanese Cherry picking".

Cherry picking is available only in June, mainly in Yamagata prefecture, or Yamanashi prefecture.

Japanese cherry is know as very good taste, also expensive fruits.

I like eating them at home, but visiting Cherry firm and pick&bite fresh Cherry is so much fun than you expected.

There are many bus tour from Tokyo(1 day short trip).
It seems there is no English guide tour, but even in Japanese language tour I think you have no problem. Ask your travel agent the detail.

I will definitely go next weekend;-)

****************************************

6月は梅雨のお陰で1年の中では残念ながら人気があまりない月。

でもそんな6月だけのお楽しみが2つあります。

それは、アジサイとさくらんぼ。

特にさくらんぼ狩りは是非皆に1度は体験してもらいたい出来事のひとつ！

めちゃめちゃ楽しいんです！！

輝く赤い宝石がキラキラと生る木を見るだけでも感動。

はしごに登って大きな実を自分で採ってその場で食べると、おいしさは格別です。

バスツアーが東京からも多くあるので、シーズンが終わってしまう前にお友達皆で行ってみて下さい。
