MANDARIN ORANGE PICKING

October 11 – December 17, 2026

You can enjoy picking mandarin oranges while taking in the breathtaking views of Sagami Bay.
Yugawara’s mandarin oranges are the very essence of what a mandarin orange should be, with an exquisite balance of sweetness and refreshing tartness.
The aroma that fills the air the moment you peel one evokes a sense of nostalgia and is the very essence of nature’s bounty. During harvest season, the fruit soaks up plenty of sunlight and turns a vibrant orange, causing the entire field to glow with orange hues.

Dates : October 11 – December 17
Hours : 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
There is a shuttle service from Yugawara Station.
