Village of Four Seasons, Agricultural theme park in Fukushima, Japan.
Village of Four Seasons is an agricultural theme park with seasonal fruit orchards, vegetable gardens, and regular farming activities on display throughout the year. The grounds showcase how different crops are grown and harvested according to the season.
The park opened in 1995 as part of Fukushima's effort to preserve the region's agricultural heritage and traditional farming practices. Its creation reflected a commitment to maintaining these methods for coming generations.
Artisans conduct hands-on workshops teaching the creation of kokeshi dolls and regional jewelry using methods passed down through generations. Visitors can participate and learn these traditional crafts while supporting local makers.
The park is open daily and accessible via walking paths throughout the grounds, with different areas for various activities. Wear comfortable shoes since exploring the orchards and gardens involves quite a bit of walking.
A European-style mill building on the grounds contains an ice cream shop that changes its flavors based on what is being harvested from the park at that time. This blend of old architecture with seasonal farm products creates an unexpected combination.
