Sankan Cherries introduction

Sankan Cherries (三関のさくらんぼ, Sankan no sakuranbo) are grown in the Sankan area of Yuzawa City, renowned as a prominent cherry-producing region. This fertile land, with its significant temperature variations, provides an ideal environment for agriculture. Situated between Mount Higashitohoriyama, part of the Ouu Mountain Range, and the Omono River, the area features a fan-shaped plain formed by erosion, creating perfect conditions for cultivating sweet, large cherries with bright red skins. Harvest season for these exquisite cherries spans from early June to early July.
