Cherry picking, Nagawa town, June 2010

The cherry season was late this year in Japan, so we weren't sure if we were going to be able to go cherry picking for our fourth and final time before moving back to the U.S. Luckily, we went just 4 days before leaving and the cherries were ready! The Japanese went to great lengths this year to ripen the cherries--even putting foil around the individual clusters of cherries to attract more sunshine! Cherry picking has been such a fun thing to do every summer in Japan that it we will most definitely miss it!
Alex was the most excited about the cherries!
We let little Thomas try a tiny taste of cherries--he obviously wasn't as impressed as the rest of us!
Of course a stop at the Dragon tower was in order as well
