Japan is a long country stretching from north to south, and each region's different climates nurture an abundance of agricultural produce.
Hokkaido (Furano and Biei) is home to vast farming fields; Nagano (Karuizawa and Azumino), a mecca for highland vegetables; Yamanashi (grapes and peaches), the fruit kingdom; Shizuoka, known for its beautiful tea fields; Tango and Miyama in Kyoto, where traditional farming methods remain; and Okinawa, home to ripening tropical fruits.
Through farm work throughout the seasons, you can experience firsthand "the food culture and lifestyle" of each region.
Farming is more than just an activity; it's a part of a slow, fulfilling journey where you can experience Japan's seasons, food culture, and lifestyle.
