[About Bamboo Shoot Picking 2025 and Bamboo Cutting and Shredding Work]
Preparations are underway in the park this year to hold the bamboo shoot picking event again.

The day before yesterday, we carried out bamboo cutting and shredding work.
The cutting work involves thinning out old bamboo to expose the ground surface to sunlight. (Rising ground temperature is necessary for bamboo shoot growth.)

The cut bamboo has its branches and leaves removed and is fed into a shredder to make bamboo chips.
When spread on the ground, the bamboo chips become compost. This improves soil nutrition and helps produce tastier bamboo shoots.

Preparations are currently under way to hold this year’s bamboo shoot picking.
The event period is under consideration, but it is expected to run from around mid-April to early May.
Details will be posted on the Toyooka Tabi Jikan website by the Toyooka Village Tourism Association, so please check it for updates.
