Sakura Cherries of Seiro
Some of the prefecture's finest cherries are found here in Seiro Town. Seiro is known as a major production area, accounting for the majority of cherry production in Niigata Prefecture. Grown in well-drained soil unique to dune areas, it features a full lineup of popular varieties such as Sato Nishiki and Beni Shuho. It is said that cultivation began in the Meiji era when mature trees were received from the Ikunogano district in Shibata, making these cherries a blessing from a land with a long history. During the harvest season in June, orchards become lively with people enjoying cherry picking in both greenhouses and open fields. A major attraction is the ability to enjoy the peak season over an extended period, as varieties range from early-ripening to late-ripening. Please come and taste these small, bright red jewels for yourself.
