Introduction to a One-Day Experience Tour 😄

—See Tokachi’s signature industry, crop farming, with your own eyes!—
A 1‑DAY tour in Kamishihoro and Memuro that will leave you amazed by the taste of fresh vegetables

The vast Tokachi Plain stretches wide.
More than 150 years have passed since pioneers cleared virgin forest with the strength of people and horses to start crop farming, and the area has become one of Japan’s leading agricultural regions.

Tokachi’s delicious vegetables, enjoyed across Japan and around the world, are consistently high quality and full of flavor.

Join this 1‑DAY tour to visit real production sites that are normally closed to the public, experience farm life as if you were part of the family, and discover the secrets behind the flavor.
