Persimmons of Katsuragi Town
Bathed in sunlight on the terraced fields along the Kinokawa River—Katsuragi Town is known as a "Fruit Kingdom," and its persimmons are among the most famous production areas in the country. Blessed with a warm climate and the fertile soil of the Kinokawa River basin, the town produces highly sweet varieties like Hiratanenashi and Fuyu. In particular, its production of seedless Hiratanenashi is among the top class in Japan. Around November, the landscape transforms into the "Village of Skewered Persimmons," where dried persimmons are hung in rows under the eaves of houses, becoming a hallmark of late autumn. The sight of orange curtains hanging in succession is a beauty that makes you want to stop and admire. Whether it is the melt-in-your-mouth sweet persimmons or the moist, sweet dried persimmons, Katsuragi in autumn is overflowing with the charm of the fruit.
