Golden Orange Groves and Autumn Delights! Yawatahama City November Industrial Festival and Scenic Drive Map

The Japan competition of the 'Dalemain Marmalade Awards', an international event from the UK, is held in Yawatahama, the sacred land of mandarins. Enjoy the judging and awards ceremony for unique marmalades gathered from across Japan and overseas, as well as a British Fair.

A popular spot where you can see a real, majestically preserved steam locomotive (SL) amidst beautiful autumn foliage. It's also perfect as a playground for children, offering nostalgic photo opportunities with the retro train and autumn leaves.

A miraculous building that, despite being an active wooden elementary school, is designated as a National Important Cultural Property and a masterpiece of post-war modernist architecture. Normally, it can only be viewed from outside the premises, but public tours are held during long holidays such as summer vacation.

When you think of Yawatahama, you think of 'Mikan' oranges, a top-class brand nationwide. Exquisite mikan, grown on steep terraced fields bathed in three types of light—sunlight, reflection from the sea, and reflection from stone walls—reach their peak season. You can enjoy mikan picking at local direct sales stores and farms.
