This farm, which overlooks the Kofu Basin, is a popular spot where you can pick cherries early during Golden Week!
The rare cherries grown in greenhouses ripen slowly due to the difference in temperature between day and night, so they have a strong sweetness and are so delicious that once you try them, you won't be able to stop eating them.
Many fans are looking forward to the special cherries grown with reduced pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
You can also buy strawberries, peaches, and plums online.
