Farmers in the Shiraki and Hoshino districts of Yame City have come together to promote hands-on activities and overnight stays at farmhouses.
The Shiraki district has long been celebrated for its delicious tangerines, and more recently it has gained recognition for its kiwifruits. Its farmers also produce delicious Shine Muscat grapes, among other crops. The Hoshino district is the main producer of Gyokuro, one of the finest leaves of Yame tea, the famous brand of Fukuoka Prefecture. Additionally, the local farmers take great pride in their miso, meticulously prepared from locally grown soybeans, and warmly welcome visitors who wish to try their hand at making some for themselves. Come and experience farming and hands-on crafting experiences unique to this mountainous area nestled deep in the Chikugo Plain.

<Activities>
■Kiwifruit, tangerine, and Shine Muscat grape picking
Kiwifruit is easy to pick—even children can simply twist the fruit off the vine. And the fruits are indeed low enough for children to reach, too. The spacious fields allow a few dozen people to pick kiwifruit simultaneously,  and the same is true of tangerine picking, which can also be enjoyed by groups. Shine Muscat grapes are available for picking on an irregular schedule. Please contact the committee for more information.

<Stay>
Stay at a 100-year-old traditional Japanese house that has been described by guests as “nostalgic” and “like going back to one’s hometown.” Its solid pillars and thick beams evoke memories of what houses in Japan used to be like in the olden days. Constructed with wood harvested from the nearby mountains, the house provides an authentic and exquisite space surrounded by idyllic mountainous scenery.
