Kanten Papa Garden is a theme park located in Higashiharuchika Kurahara, Ina City, Nagano Prefecture. The gardens surrounding Ina Food Industry's headquarters and Kitaoka factory are open to the public. Kanten Papa Garden 10695-1 Kurahara, Ina City, Nagano Prefecture 399-4432 0265-78-2002 April 26, 2024: I had lunch at Minoriya. https://niyodogawa.org/blog/outdoor/7... From there, I drove to Kanten Papa Garden. There are facilities on both sides of the Ina West Wide Agricultural Road, but I entered the area on the right for now. The parking lot is very spacious. The park is divided into West and East sections, separated by the Ina West Wide Agricultural Road. It is said to cover an area of ​​10,000 tsubo (approx. 99,000 m2). First, I entered a building called Monteriina, which just opened in 2022. The name is a combination of the Italian word "monte" and the French word "montagne," both meaning mountain, and "ina," the name of the city of Ina. Check the route on the guide signs. Ina Food Industry Co., Ltd. was established in 1958. It manufactures agar and gelling agents under the trademark "Kanten Papa." It holds approximately 80% of the domestic market share for commercial use and 15% of the global market share. The shop sells local specialties from all over Japan, as well as vegetables and local sake from Nagano Prefecture. There's also a flower shop and a cafe. I bought coffee and some An'eimo sweet potatoes at the cafe. Apologies to the old man who kicked my flowerpot over (lol). I decided to eat on the terrace. Mount Kaikoma-ga-take is visible directly ahead. It was quiet on a weekday, but I imagine it'll be extremely busy during Golden Week starting tomorrow. The shop sells the local sake "Imanishiki." Yonezawa Sake Brewery became a subsidiary of Ina Food Industry in 2014. The bridge connecting the West and East breweries runs over a public road. It's clear that the local government is actively supporting this project. It's not too sweet, and very easy to eat. The breeze from Mt. Senjogatake blew in. The taste is great. It's a stylish and lovely place. I went up to the second floor. There was a select shop. The moss phlox is beautiful. There's a cafe in the Kanten Papa Hall. Beyond the hall is a soba restaurant. Further ahead is the Nomura Yoko Botanical Miniature Art Museum. It's cherry blossom season, but tulips were also in bloom. I went inside the Kanten Papa Museum. I entered the Health Pavilion. You can get free spring water from the Central Alps. It reminded me of my visit to the Yomeishu factory. https://niyodogawa.org/blog/outdoor/w... This is the headquarters. Many business leaders are intrigued by the company's steady growth each year, and many companies, including the Toyota Group and Teijin, visit to see it. Its annual sales are 22.7 billion yen. Despite this, it only has 545 employees. It's an independent, unlisted company, not affiliated with a major listed company. We arrived in the East Area. There's a restaurant serving agar dishes. It's set in a beautiful garden. They had their pre-wedding photo shoot there. There's another restaurant, a flower shop. Hama Engei Co., Ltd. became a subsidiary in 2016. We went inside the Kanten Papa Shop. They sell their products primarily through direct sales and online. There are eight stores nationwide, including one in Okayama. Agar was on display. Free samples available. I tried the orange flavor. It was just regular jelly. I can't help but buy things (wry smile). I was a little happy to receive a free gift. We arrived at the Wildflower Garden. I'm not talking about my grandmother. There was a stone monument bearing a haiku by Inoue Seigetsu. He is said to be a pioneer of modern haiku, having wandered around Shinshu Ina from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji era. The tea shop was closed. The queen of wildflowers, Shirane-aoi, was in bloom. I went shopping. Had lunch with a local chicken oyakodon! Introducing Kisomura Roadside Station, the source of the Kiso River! [Travel VLOG, Review] Located at an altitude of 942m, this area is a thriving highland vegetable farm! We recommend the amazake (sweet sake) and frozen gyoza sold in the shop! They also serve Hida beef in the restaurant! Detailed blog: https://niyodogawa.org/blog/outdoor/w...
