\nNow, autumn is a season of beautiful, colored foliage, mushrooms in forests, and don’t forget the harvesting of yummy FRUITS as one of Nagano\u2019s specialty!<\/p>\n

\"DSC_2457-768x513\"This year, a young farming couple (with a baby) who moved from Tokyo starts apple picking experience with pick-up service from Matsumoto Castle, on Oct 11.<\/p>\n

They live in a traditional farmer house near Alps Park, so the experience is not only picking fresh apples in their orchard, but also sitting in their tatami<\/em> room, having Japanese tea and various autumn food, and touring around their Japanese-style house if you want.<\/p>\n

The fee ¥3000 includes all-you-can-eat picked apples and carry-out of two.<\/p>\n

You can book the service from the reservation form on their English website<\/a>. Reservation is required by noon of the day (preferably by the previous day). They are closed on Sundays.
\nSee the following flyer for the details.<\/p>\n

* The picking experience will end on Nov 21th because their apples will be finished earlier than expected.<\/strong><\/p>\n

About other orchards (without pick-up service) and more info about fruits including grapes, see this blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
