Guida
Fuefukigawa Fruit Park is a landmark urban park located in the Koto region of Yamanashi Prefecture, symbolizing the rich fruit-growing culture of the area. Developed under the theme of 'Flowers, Fruit, and Wine,' the park offers a diverse landscape where visitors can experience different botanical and fruit-bearing displays depending on the season. The expansive grounds seamlessly blend natural environments with leisure facilities, including orchards, a greenhouse, a museum, and dedicated play areas for children.
The local region has a long history of cultivating precious fruits known as 'Koshu Hatchinka' since the Edo period. Today, the tradition of growing peaches and grapes continues to thrive, and the park's orchards are designed to reflect this historical heritage. By visiting, you can experience the preservation of the local fruit culture within a modern, accessible park setting.
The park features a rotating selection of fruits and plants throughout the year. The orchards, particularly those for peaches and grapes, offer a unique opportunity to observe the growth process of the fruit up close. Additionally, the onsite museum and greenhouse provide educational depth regarding botanical and fruit-growing knowledge. For families, the park is highly engaging; the children's area features the 'Aqua Athletic' water-based play area and the 'Wanpaku Dome,' a facility that allows for active play even during certain weather conditions, catering to various ages.
A key feature of the park is the ability to witness the seasonal transformation of the landscape. From spring to summer, visitors can observe the development of peaches and grapes, while other seasons offer a variety of seasonal flowers. The park is open until 17:30 from Monday to Friday, and until 18:00 on Saturdays and Sundays. The bright daylight hours are ideal for observing the orchards and enjoying the outdoor play facilities.
There is a wide range of activities available for all visitors. Children can enjoy the water-based Aqua Athletic or the indoor-style Wanpaku Dome. For those interested in nature, a stroll through the orchards allows for a direct connection with the seasonal harvest. The park is structured to encourage physical activity and exploration within a natural setting.
Fuefukigawa Fruit Park is situated in the heart of Yamanashi's fruit-producing region. The surrounding area is dotted with facilities that sell seasonal fruits and various establishments related to wine production, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the local fruit and wine culture.
