Forest Adventure Chichibu

At the farmers' market, the locally brewed shochu “Chichibu Nishiki” and other liquors are sold together with selected specialty goods of Chichibu. Also, a wide range of alcohol can be tasted at the tasting booth.

This park is located in the beautiful Nagaonekyuryo mountains that extend over the border between Chichibu city and Ogano town. It covers an area of 375 hectares and has three differently themed areas. The forest of sports, the forest of music, and the forest of culture and each of the areas are connected by a three km long "sky road". This park offers one of the best vantage points to experience the breathtaking sea of clouds. The fog produced by radiative cooling lingers in the Chichibu mountain area, creating the perfect conditions for the sea of clouds to form. When the weather aligns just right, you may be lucky enough to witness the iconic Chichibu bridge seemingly floating above the sea of clouds.

Prices vary depending on the type of grape. For more information, please contact the farms listed in the link. You can also purchase grapes at the Ashigakubo Roadside Station (The farms will ship grapes when they are ready to eat. We apologize for any inconvenience if they are sold out). All farms are carefully incorporating countermeasures against the coronavirus in order to let you enjoy a safe visit!

There are about six farms located closely on the east and north sides of Yokose Station, including Mikado Farm and Komatsuzawa Leisure Farm, where you can pick strawberries, grapes, sweet potatoes, and shiitake mushrooms each season.
