Into Hamada Orchard!

by Kazu

I did not know the orchard run by Mr. Hamada. It is near Lake Toya. As many hot spring springs are around the lake, this area may be warmer than other regions in Hokkaido.

Yes, it is the good place to run orchards, I think. This is the fruits & sweets shop run by Mr. Hamada. Precisely speaking, the patisserie is run by the wife of Mr. Hamada. She makes the most of the delicious fruits and makes the quality sweets.

Packing process is done in one of his greenhouses. Picking and packing fruits must be tough job but the delicious fruits seemed like jewels and they can make many smiles and happiness in Japan.

It took about twenty minutes to reach the orchard from the central hot spring spa hotels of lake Toya. The season of grapes almost finished but apples, pears and prunes can be savored a little bit more.
