A sightseeing farm that benefits from Minami Chita's warm climate all year round. Among it's many claims to fame, it's vast fields are filled with the color of seasonal flowers. Although there's an admission fee, once inside, you can stroll through the fields to your heart's content. Each field is carpeted in a single type of flower, creating such remarkable scenery that films and TV programs use it as a backdrop, and it is often featured in informational programs. Make sure you bring your camera with you!
But the wonder isn't limited to just looking at the flowers: you can pick them too (up to 10 flowers per person. Sunflowers are limited to 3 per person. Elementary school age and under are asked to refrain from picking the flowers.) Take them home and have fun arranging them in a vase.
The time to pick ripe melon is from the end of July. From early December to early May is the time to enjoy picking strawberries. (Requires reservations in advance and usually gets booked up at least a month in advance. It's best to book your place early.)
Also popular are the seasonal vegetables sold fresh from the farm, and special honey you can only get your hands on here. A great opportunity to take lots home and stock up.
