All lines open! I ran the Kinokawa Fruit Line│Japan Touring

A variety of fruits are grown, mainly persimmons, but also peaches, figs, kiwis, grapes, and citrus fruits.This is a scenic course that passes through the trees, overlooking the Kinokawa River from a slightly higher place.

It is a great touring course with good access from Wakayama city and Osaka, and it is free of charge.

Overview and features of “Kinokawa Fruit Line”

As the name suggests, the Kinokawa Fruit Line, which stretches across Wakayama Prefecture, is an exhilarating scenic route that runs through fruit fields overlooking the Kinokawa River.

A two-lane road connects Hashimoto City to Kinokawa City, and the beautiful scenery attracts visitors.

Review

This time, as a result of searching for the entrance on the west side of the fruit line with the help of Google Maps, I found this place.
“Are you sure it’s a fruit line?” “Yes, there are fruit trees…”
Apparently, the whole line was recently opened, so it seems that it was not reflected in Google Maps yet. I entered without knowing the correct entrance.
For the time being, I headed toward my destination, Kudoyama Station, but I wanted to run on the newly opened section, so I made a U-turn early.

し、西側の始点からもう一度走り直します。

As the name suggests, the Fruit Line has fruit farms on both sides. what kind of tree? Thinking about it, I looked it up and it looks like a persimmon. When I was running, I always thought it was a mandarin orange.
I thought persimmon trees were taller, and when I thought of Wakayama, I had an image of mandarin oranges rather than persimmons.
In fact, Wakayama is said to be the number one producer of persimmons in Japan (*2022), and Nara Prefecture, which has an image of persimmons, is said to be the second largest in Japan.

The fruit line still continues, but in this touring, we left the fruit line at Kudoyama-cho and aimed at the “Omusubi Stand Kudo“.
