Fruits picking
Tsutsu region, the most southern part of Tsushima, has very vigorous fruits cultivation thanks to its warm climate and moderate sea breeze. Not only deciduous trees such as fig and kiwi, but also various citrus fruits are cultivated. Especially, Tsutsuhira-mikan harvested in December is very fragrant and delicious.
About this activity
Just-picked, extra-large size fresh fig!
Tsutsu’s fruits receive plenty of sunlight and sea breeze that carry rich minerals. Juicy and sweet, Tsutsu’s fruits are very popular in Tsushima. You can find at local direct shops and supermarkets. Most of them are consumed within Tsushima, so you can hardly ever find them outside of the island. Very premium, better try them!
