Unmanned Mandarin stand in Hanazawa

Unmanned produce stands are one of the common features of rural areas in Japan. No one steal a thing even unmanned...that's really amazing. If you feel like buying something from the stand, just drop in the amount into the box. Hamazawa people often sell mandarin oranges during winter.

What to buy: Manderin orange, and vegetables

What to pay: usually 100-200 yen depending on the products

 Tochiyamagawa Park is a natural park to preserve the ecosystem of original meandering river flow of Tochiyama river. It is also nice place to stroll.
