Picking Blueberries in Gifu

My daughters, Nicole and Emi, and I went to a small farm near Gifu to pick and eat Blueberries.

Overall, the experience was great, the farm was small and they offered multiple different versions of blueberries (I never knew there were more varieties).  If my kids were interested in insects, it would have been a double trip.  The farm was enclosed in a net which kept insects out but also kept them in.

The blueberries were very good.  Unfortunately, we had to be a little selective because the day before it rained pretty hard so many of the berries were splitting.

We ended up going by bus so it was a long day for us, we had to ride the train to Gifu, which took about 30 min.   Then we took a bus from Gifu to a small village called Hise, which took us about an hour.  In this area, there are not so many buses running throughout the day.  I think to this particular village there was only two.

Here are some more pictures of the trip:
