Spring in Nanbu!

By Simon Bernard
Guest Writer

Summer is here and it is time for picking fresh fruit!
You better hurry if you still want to pick blueberries which are almost out of season.
The delicious peach called Higawa Hakuho is in season and by mid- August two more varieties called Akatsuki and Ikeda will be available as well!
Just go to the Nagawa Tourist Information Center (#14 on the map), the staff will call a local farmer who will guide you to their farm.
There are many places in scenic Nanbu Town where you can not only pick & eat fresh fruit but you can do some
sight-seeing as well.
Make it a day by visiting the gift bazaar at the ceramic center, the arts & crafts dry flower shop or the 700 year old Hokoji mountain temple.
There is camping, the 100 foot dragon tower for the kids to climb or take them to the water park’s giant water slide!
For a free color English guide map with directions from Misawa Air Base go to Misawa ITT and pick one up today!
