Taste & Local Specialties
Exquisite Mikan Orange Picking: Maana Mikan
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.
