Day 4 In Japan - Fruit Picking In Akita

Day 4 saw us traipsing the countryside and made a journey to a fruit farm. It was  just a 25 minutes train ride from Akita Station and another 20-25 minutes walk from Detohama station to the fruit farm.

Detohama Station is a small, unmanned station and no taxis or bus in sight nearby it!  We bought our ticket for our journey back to Akita Station using the machine. Despite being unmanned, the station and the public toilet nearby were well kept.

Another unmanned place - fruits for sale by the roadside. Just put 200yen in the slot in the centre of the table and bag the fruits yourself. Plastic bags were even provided.

Kagaya Farm which was our stop for the day. 

There were pears, grapes, apples and kiwis at the farm. The farm were doing pretty brisk business when we got there, and there was a kindergarten outing and the children get to pick one fruit for themselves.
