Kanga's Blueberry Farm

When summer starts heating up in Niigata, we know that it's time to go blueberry picking!  Kanga's Blueberry Farm is located in Tainai City, right along the coastline.


For 500 yen per adult (elementary school students are free!) you get a bucket and 40 minutes to wander among hundreds of blueberry bushes.


You can pick and eat as many as you like, and if you fill up the bucket you can pay 200 yen per 100 grams to take the blueberries home.


The staff are always very friendly, and there's a covered seating area with free barley tea where you can take a rest.  Parking is free, and when you see the giant Buddhist monk statue, you'll know you're in the right place.
