Go fruit-picking and enjoy fresh Japanese fruit to the fullest!

From autumn on into winter is when apples and mikan oranges come into season in Japan.
If you want to eat your fill of fresh seasonal fruit, you should go fruit-picking! Here's a look at some fruit-picking destinations in the Central Japan Area that you can get to by train or bus.
