A Special Moment Surrounded by the Sweet Aroma of Peaches

– Savor the Fresh Taste, Right from the Orchard –

Bask in the summer sunshine as you pick perfectly ripe, fragrant peaches with your own hands—and enjoy them on the spot.
This unique hands-on experience invites you to choose from three local peach farms, each offering its own charm and seasonal flavors.

Each farm grows different peach varieties and operates on different harvest schedules.
Some even cultivate rare types that can be picked not only in summer but also into autumn and early winter (as late as December).
This ever-changing lineup is part of what makes the experience so enjoyable—no two visits are the same.

As you walk through the orchard, you’ll learn directly from the farmers about how peaches are grown, how to tell when they’re perfectly ripe, and the care that goes into each fruit.
To top it off, you’ll receive a delightful souvenir to take home after the tour.

Connect with nature, experience the changing seasons, and indulge all five senses—
why not spend a special moment in the land of peaches?

Nakatsu Orchard: The owner of Nakatsu Orchard has a unique background—he previously worked in a research lab at the Faculty of Engineering, Okayama University. Drawing on his experience as a data scientist, he applies a scientific approach to peach cultivation, focusing on reduced pesticide farming. The orchard grows over 30 varieties of peaches throughout the year, offering visitors the chance to discover different flavors depending on the season. One of the highlights is the orchard located just behind the iconic Bitchu Kokubunji Five-Story Pagoda, where visitors can enjoy a hands-on harvest experience surrounded by stunning scenery and a true sense of the seasons.
MOMONA Peach Farm: Located in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, MOMONA Peach Farm cultivates over 20 varieties of peaches. Different varieties are harvested throughout the season, allowing visitors to discover new and unique flavors every time they visit. The farm practices "sōsei saibai" (grass-cover cultivation), a method that nurtures the soil by allowing natural grasses to grow. This eco-friendly approach emphasizes sustainable agriculture, bringing out the true potential and flavor of each peach while being kind to the environment and the land.
