Japanese fruits are famous for being as beautiful as they are delicious, and the local farmers’ care and attention to them are legendary. Diversity is another characteristic of Japanese fruits, and travelling through the country I am always surprised to discover new varieties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recently stayed in Northern Kumamoto, Kyushu island, and had the opportunity to try surprising fruits like a giant nashi<\/em> (pear) and a honey-flavored Japanese plum. But my favourite types are citrus fruits and I was amazed when I saw the landscapes of Tamana, in Northern Kumamoto<\/a>. The mountains there are literally covered with citrus trees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pick exceptional citrus fruit on a family farm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For orange and tangerine lovers, Japan is a top destination; no less than twenty types of mikan<\/em> (Japanese tangerines) are cultivated here! In Tamana, you can even enter a real garden of Eden: the Mizumoto Orange Garden<\/strong> (\u6c34\u672c\u30aa\u30ec\u30f3\u30b8\u30ac\u30fc\u30c7\u30f3). There, for 600 yen, you can pick your own fruits to purchase\u2026 all the while eating as much as you want! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
