2. Opening for 2026 was planned for October 31. Check Instagram for the latest

In its post of October 13, Kamata Farm announced that general opening was planned for October 31. Since October 13 it has been taking excursions from kindergartens and nurseries. In its post of September 15, the farm said its official website had become inaccessible for various reasons and that it would post information on Instagram for the time being. The official website still shows last year’s planned closing date, so check the opening dates and closure notices on Kamata Farm’s official Instagram.

Opening hours are 10:00 to 16:00. The farm is basically open every day during the season and closed on rainy days. Because it is family-run, there are days it has to close unavoidably. Closures due to weather and similar reasons are announced on the official Instagram.

3. Individuals can come any time without a reservation. Only kindergarten and nursery groups book

The official website says reservations are accepted only for groups such as kindergartens and nurseries, and individuals may visit at any time while the farm is open. A family does not need to book. Groups such as tour groups, and groups without a reservation, are not accepted.

4. The parking lot can be full on weekends and holidays

The official website says the parking lot is very busy on weekends and can be full on Sundays and during consecutive holidays, and asks visitors to come early or wait a while. Cars cannot pass each other at the entrance of the upper parking lot, so cars enter one at a time.

5. Mikan grown with fewer pesticides and no wax

According to the farm introduction, the mikan are grown with reduced pesticides and organic fertilizer, and no wax or preservatives are used at all. They spoil more easily as a result, so the farm advises eating them soon.
