Sasaki Farm

At this tourist farm, a 15-minute drive from the Kokonoe Interchange as well as the Kusu Interchange on the Oita Expressway, visitors can have fun picking Japanese pears in a field with a wonderful view of the Kusu Basin. The dedicated Japanese pear farm has been in operation for over 60 years. Visitors can pick Hosui, Akizuki, Niitaka, and other varieties which grow large and sweet thanks to the temperature differences created by the farm's high altitude (450 meters above sea level) and underground spring water from Mt. Daiso. Japanese pear picking is offered when the fruit is in season from late August to mid-October. The farm also offers apple picking from late October. Famous sightseeing destinations such as Ryumon Falls, the Kokonoe Yume Suspension Bridge, and Yaba Gorge are located nearby.
