I visited during the cherry blossom season. It was packed with visitors. It was very popular. There was a long line at the register. Housewives, young and old, were excited because the local vegetables were cheap and there was a wide variety.

We arrived at the JA Fuji Izu Shibakawa branch just before 9:00 a.m. on a medium-sized bus for a joint training trip for the women's division steering committee, which is made up of regular members of the JA Fuji Izu Shibakawa branch. There is a similar farmers' market in Fujinomiya, and the women's division members were stocking up on fresh vegetables and processed foods first thing in the morning. I bought pruning shears and a folding saw at the materials store on the premises because they were cheap, and contributed to the sales.
