Japan's No. 1 apricot village [Nagano/Chikuma]

The apricot trees spread across the mountain slopes, creating a spectacular view! The 2025 Apricot Festival has ended, but there are apricot flowers blooming all over the city, so it's great to see them while driving. After the flowers bloom, you can see the beautiful fruit as a spectacular sight. The best time to see the fruit is from late June to mid-July 🍊 The apricot soft serve ice cream was sweet and sour and very delicious 😋 There were also many souvenirs made with apricots ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🫧~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Apricot Village 📍1406-1 Mori, Chikuma City, Nagano Prefecture 🚌11 minutes by taxi/shuttle bus or 55 minutes on foot from Yashiro Station on the Shinano Railway 🚗13 minutes from Sarashoku IC 🌸Late March to early April ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🫧~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 💫Apricot flowers bloom a little earlier than cherry blossoms 💫There are apricot trees all over the city 💫There is a flyer for discounts on apricot soft serve ice cream at Agri Park 💫It's nice to see them while driving 💫The fruit grows from late June to mid-July ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🫧~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *This information is current, so please check it out before you go!
