In addition, since 2017, Fujitani Orchard has been providing us with apple fruit, making the product even more appealing to Fukagawa City.
Currently, due to the effects of the new coronavirus infection, we have fewer opportunities for activities to sell our products. However, we will continue to engage in activities to further promote Fukagawa City through the planning of new apple products.
