Kurayoshi Watermelon Sorting Field Tour and Gokumi Watermelon Tasting Experience Open Day 2025

The 'Kurayoshi Gokumi Watermelon' is a specialty of Kurayoshi City that pursues the traditional texture and sweetness through a meticulous cultivation method. This rare and highly valuable watermelon, with low production volume, will be featured in the event 'Kurayoshi Watermelon Sorting Field Tour and Gokumi Watermelon Tasting Experience Open Day 2025' where participants can observe the sorting process in a facility that is usually not open to the public, as well as participate in a tasting experience.
