4. Four varieties with different ripening times

6. How it differs from Yamada Kajuen in the same town

The “Okagaki fruit” page of the Okagaki Town tourist association (Japanese) lists two orchards in town that offer mandarin picking: Umeno Mikan-en and Yamada Kajuen (Japanese). According to the Fukuoka Prefecture tourism federation, Yamada Kajuen has the same ¥300 entrance fee for junior high school and older, charges ¥200 per kg for mandarins, and stays open until the end of December, about a month longer than Umeno Mikan-en. If you go after late November, Yamada Kajuen is the one to consider.
