Today was such a beautiful day! It would have been such a waste to stay inside (especially since it was also a holiday), so I decided to go Japanese pear picking!

| Takaai Nashi Farm, Chiba |
Japanese pears can be found in many supermarkets now, but the actual fruit picking period is quickly coming to a close. According to many sites, many people can participate in Japanese pear picking from the end of August till the beginning of October. I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to find a place to go pear picking but after many phone calls I found one that was still open!

About a 10 minute walk from the east exit of Higashi Matsudo Station in Chiba,
Takaai Nashi Farm is a small Japanese pear orchard. It is run by a nice lady who helped me pick the best pears!
Admission into the farm was free, and two pears cost about 300 yen. I paid about 850 for the pears that I picked, and she even gave me one for free!
