Ideas for a fruit lover going to Japan? 2014/8/28 10:03
My friend is raw vegan and wants to try a lot of different fruits that only exist in Japan. Any ideas on where to find cheap and tones of good yummy fruits? Well, cheap if possible. Yummy and organic, best. :D

Cheap... well, don't expect US prices. Fruit in Japan is generally more expensive.

When are you coming to Japan? Fruit is often seasonal here. Fall fruits include Japanese pears (nashi), apples, Japanese persimmon (kaki), grapes, etc. Winter fruits are usually strawberries. Spring and summer bring their own fruits too.

There are also imported fruits. Bananas and others can usually be found year round. In Tokyo and bigger cities, more tropical fruits can sometimes be found as well, though more in the summer time.

You may want to research the countryside.
Or fruit picking like ichigo-gari, budou-gari.

By the way, in Tokyo, expensive but famous for high quality.

It is not the fruit of the Japanese original, but can eat cut fruit in Ameyoko.

There is also the Yurakucho and Shinjuku Hyakkaen, seems there is also a durian in Shinjuku.
