Blueberry season has arrived again this year.
Here’s an introduction to Aisai Farm, a pick-your-own blueberry farm at the foot of Mt. Kurikoma (Mt. Sukawa) in Ichinoseki.
Located in Genbi-cho, Ichinoseki, it’s a popular spot alongside Mt. Kurikoma and Sukawa Onsen.
Of course you can experience nature, but you can also enjoy sweets in a café-like atmosphere!!

To reach the blueberry farm, take National Route 342, which leads to Mt. Kurikoma and Sukawa Onsen.
↑This is the Blueberry House adjacent to the blueberry fields.
It’s operated by a local producers’ cooperative. A member of the cooperative greeted us on arrival.
↑The interior has a warm, homey atmosphere with the warmth of wood.
Here you can sign up for the blueberry-picking experience, and also purchase sweets, jam, and more.
↑This is the sweets menu. You can enjoy desserts generously made with blueberries.
↑We tried the most popular blueberry soft-serve ice cream!
Plenty of blueberry sauce is poured over the soft serve,
and the sweetness and tartness of the blueberries pair perfectly with the ice cream.
↑The product lineup includes jam, sauce, drinks, and more. It also makes a great souvenir.

Row after row of blueberry bushes!
It was late August, so the blueberries themselves had finished fruiting, but there was still the pleasure of being surrounded by the green of the blueberry bushes.
We found some blueberries!
The scenery of the blueberry farm can be enjoyed through all four seasons.
↑In spring, cute white flowers bloom,
and in autumn, it’s said to be wrapped in blazing autumn colors.
