The harvested vegetables are cabbage and carrots, and they are dug up from about 50cm under the snowfields which the area looks out onto. The pale green cabbage and orange carrots reveal themselves and then are sampled in the local area. They are surprisingly sweet, and once you’ve tasted them, you’ll want more. After harvesting the vegetables, you can enjoy eating them and local cuisine in a structure built utilizing the remains of a local schoolhouse. The area is famous for its omochi pounded rice cakes and we strongly encourage you to try them. In addition, the area which is near Inawashiro is well known for its heavy snowfall and, especially from early to mid-March, the packed snow becomes hard enabling you to stroll along the snowfields (depending on the condition of the weather and other factors). Strolling along the snowfields which sprawl out over the flatlands here is very refreshing. We highly recommend taking a stroll along the snowfields, following the tracks left by the wild animals, something which you cannot do during the green season.
