Sightseeing Plantation Sono Hashimoto

Next to sand dunes.. good to explore while pear 🍐 are in season. Parking available. Moderatly pricing for pear picking. Good to know, how to pick pear from tree.

Good fruit!

4th day of trip from Yamagata If you go pear picking, it's 1500 yen per basket (August 2024) regardless of the number of people, so it's a good deal. If you have a lot of family members or people coming with you and you want to pay the admission fee for each person, we recommend this option. The weather was terrible and we didn't have much time, so I bought a basket of items, but I was jealous of the pear pickers who came after me and got some extras.

I went pear picking for my kids. I was able to go without a reservation. It was a spacious and beautiful place. I was worried because there were some reviews saying that they weren't very friendly, but everyone seemed to be kind and friendly😊. To be honest, the ladies eating the pears I picked were not friendly 😅 I think it's cheap to experience pear picking for 1400 yen and take 4 pieces home.

Every year, I spend more than two hours to buy pears. I've eaten a lot of different pears, but this one is my favorite!
