Apple Picking at Kudo Apple Farm, Hirosaki.

Description

Overview Walk into a working orchard beneath Mt. Iwaki and pick apples straight from trees a samurai family has tended since 1877. This is the simple, fuss-free version of the experience — no set programme, no waiting for a group slot to fill, just a basket, a stretch of orchard, and as many varieties as are in season. It's the easiest way to add a genuine Aomori farm moment to a Hirosaki day trip. What you'll do -Meet your guide at the orchard entrance and get a short walkthrough of what's ripe that week -Pick your own apples from the included allowance, with the option to pick more by weight -Taste as you go — sampling is part of the visit -Bring your apples home ¥150 per 100g Good to know -Includes a starting weight allowance; anything picked beyond that is charged at ¥150/100g Wear closed shoes and clothes you don't mind getting a little dusty -Low walking, flat orchard paths — comfortable for most ages and mobility levels English-language guidance materials provided through ClippiJapan; the orchard team itself communicates in Japanese -Rain or shine — the orchard only closes for severe weather, and ClippiJapan will notify you if that happens -Meet the orchard Kudo Farm is run by Takahisa Kudo, the ninth generation of a family descended from Tsugaru domain samurai who took up apple growing after the Meiji Restoration in 1877. It remains the only samurai-descended orchard family in the region still farming the land it was granted — a detail that makes even a 30-minute picking stop feel like a piece of real local history.
