Factors such as properly dried volcanic ash soil, warm temperatures throughout the year, and a large temperature difference between day and night are all very important for growing delicious Melons. Ibaraki Prefecture is the only place that meets all the conditions and has the highest melon production in the country, accounting for about 26%.
May and June are the season of Ibaraki Melon, signaling the beginning of summer. There are many Melons prepared right at the cultivation site, so let's experience the "Melon Hunting" event that is rare even in Japan.
Ibaraki's melons are grown in greenhouses. The most interesting thing about them is that when the melons are ripe, the scent of melons fills the air. Here, you can participate in harvesting melons and take the melons you have just harvested home. Forest Park Melon no Mori usually holds two harvest periods, "spring-summer harvest" and "autumn harvest", so you can enjoy harvesting melons for a long time. In addition, there are also products made from melons in the garden such as "Melon nama Cream Puffs" and "Melon-flavored Soft Serve Ice Cream".
If you want to buy melons as gifts for friends and relatives, you can visit Melon no mori garden., this is the direct sales place.Time from mid-May to late October
