2. Things to know when choosing in Ehime
Most of Ehime’s mikan-picking farms are on the Shimanami Kaido islands: 7 of the 9 are on Omishima, Hakata Island and Oshima in Imabari City. The Omishima farms are 10 to 15 minutes by car from Omishima IC, and Tomoura Engei on Oshima is 10 minutes from Oshima-Kita IC. For a day trip from Matsuyama, Toda Fruit Farm in Saijo, about 50 minutes by car from Dogo Onsen, is also an option. Minami-Shikoku Farm, in the south of the prefecture, is in Yoshida, Uwajima.
Most farms take bookings only. How far ahead you should book ranges from the day before (Minami-Shikoku Farm) to 7 days before (Sunada Shuraku Mikan Orchard), and Daishin and Omiyage Nagano on Omishima accept same-day bookings. Car parks on the islands are small, about 5 to 20 cars, and Takano Farm in Kamiura has no car park but offers a pick-up for up to 10 people from within the island.
Besides eating on the spot, many farms include a set amount of mikan to take home. At Minami-Shikoku Farm you choose whether to add 2 kg to take home to the roughly 60-minute picking session. Iyokan Net says Nagai Farm, Yoshida Farm, Sunada Shuraku Mikan Orchard and Daishin also have a price with about 2 kg to take home. Tomoura Engei also handles citrus other than Unshu mikan and stays open until the end of March.
If you cannot get to a farm, you can compare Ehime mikan to order on Rakuten Ichiba. Prices and shipping differ by shop. Search Rakuten Ichiba for Ehime mikan (ad)
Rain is handled differently by each farm. Minami-Shikoku Farm basically goes ahead in the rain and tells you to check with the farm in a typhoon or similar weather. Daishin cannot offer the experience on rainy days (light rain is fine), and Takano Farm cancels in bad weather.
3. Minami-Shikoku Farm (Yoshida, Uwajima): open from October 18 this season, adults ¥990
The mikan-picking orchard of Minami-Shikoku Farm is open from Sunday, October 18 to Monday, November 30, 2026, at ¥990 for adults (junior high school and older), ¥770 for children (elementary school and younger), and free for ages 3 and under. A set with 2 kg to take home is ¥1,430 for adults and ¥1,210 for children (all prices include tax). Groups of 10 or more get ¥50 off for both adults and children. Extra mikan you take home beyond that cost ¥324 per kg.
The experience takes about 60 minutes. Book up to the day before by phone: on weekdays call Minami-Shikoku Farm (0895-52-0330), and on weekends and holidays call the farm shop Yoshida Kinahaiya (0895-52-1767). It is open every day during the season, but may close at short notice depending on the harvest.
The meeting place is the farm shop Yoshida Kinahaiya, and the orchard is about 3 km from the reception. The farm does not run a shuttle, so you get there by car, motorbike or taxi. There is no running water in the orchard, so the farm advises bringing a hat and a towel. The farm provides the harvesting tools.

6. How to choose: by date and booking
If you go in October, candidates are Minami-Shikoku Farm, which opens on October 18, Daishin from early October, and Nagai Farm and Sunada Shuraku Mikan Orchard from the usual mid-October start. From November, Omiyage Nagano (from the end of October), Tomoura Engei (open until the end of March) and Toda Fruit Farm in Saijo also come in.
If you want to go on the spur of the moment, choose Daishin or Omiyage Nagano on Omishima, which accept same-day bookings. If you plan around your family’s schedule, Minami-Shikoku Farm, where you can book up to the day before, is the easiest to fit in. Two of the Shimanami Kaido farms are side by side in Miyaura on Omishima, where Oyamazumi Shrine is, so you can visit them together with the shrine.
If you cannot go picking, you can also order Ehime mikan through the hometown tax donation scheme or online shops. The farm shop of Minami-Shikoku Farm, Yoshida Kinahaiya, also sells citrus and processed goods in its online shop.
