Mikan in Izu

Have you ever been "mandarin orange picking"? Strawberry picking and grape picking are mainstream, but there are few opportunities to go mandarin orange picking. The oranges of Izu are characterized by their refreshing flavor with a good balance of sweetness and sourness. The mild climate allows for the cultivation of many varieties of citrus fruits, so you can enjoy harvesting for a long period of time, from around October to May!
To enjoy such Izu mandarins, why not try "mikan picking" in the Izu/Ito area?

In this issue, we will introduce farms where you can go mandarin orange picking in the Izu-Ito area!
