Gofusou, designated as a tangible cultural property by Kishiwada City
A modern Japanese-style building with a stroll-style Japanese garden next to Kishiwada Castle moat (south side).

We have a standby area that overlooks the garden, and are very hospitable.

Cherry tomato harvesting experience and explanation at Kinoshita Farm in Senshu
Although he has inherited a working farm, he is not bound by preconceived ideas and aims to run a profitable tourist farm by taking on new initiatives. Observe the cultivation of cherry tomatoes, which are sweet, rich, and have a rich flavor, with a sugar content of over 8% using a unique bag cultivation method. A special cultivation method called bag cultivation is used to adjust the taste through water management and stress, and the only fertilizer used is organic fertilizer. I was impressed by the passion of Representative Kinoshita, who continues to take on new challenges in bag cultivation.
