Fumiko Ida（Representative Director）

Potatoes are one of the major crops of Hokkaido! This is the only tour where you can dig up the potatoes yourself and eat them on the spot! Once you've decided which potato to dig up, pull it up. Will it be large, or will it be small? Exciting! Thrilling! The potatoes you dig up will be eaten as french fries.
