Roadside Station Namioka "Apple Hill" (Namioka, Aomori City, TEL 0172-62-1170 ) is currently bustling with tourists and families enjoying apple picking.

At the Apple Hill Sightseeing Apple Orchard, about 50 varieties of apples are planted in a 1.2-hectare park, where you can experience picking different varieties depending on the season. Groups of 7 or less can participate without a reservation on the day of the event, and the fact that it is a casual experience has attracted many visitors.

The person in charge of the apple picking said, "This year, the harvesting experience started a little later than usual, starting on September 23rd. Local nursery schools bring their children as part of their events, and tour companies combine apple picking with autumn foliage tours. The number of visitors who had been estranged due to the corona crisis is gradually returning, including tourists from distant places such as Okinawa, Kyushu, and Shikoku. There were voices," he said.

Experience time is from 10:00, 11:00, 13:00, 14:00, 15:00. The apple picking experience at the sightseeing apple orchard is available until October 30th this season. Adults (junior high school students and older) = 550 yen (up to 4 takeout), children = 400 yen (up to 3 takeout). Applications will be accepted at the event square "Apple Sales Tent". Reservations required for 8 or more people. Canceled in case of bad weather.
