How Japanese Peaches Are Grown

[Click on CC for English subtitles!]

Ever wondered why some of the fruit in Japan is so expensive? In this video, I joined Okura-san to document his work as a peach farmer. The shooting of this video started in March and ended around August. I hope the video shows how much time, care and dedication is needed to successfully grow and cultivate these delicious (and expensive) fruits!

Big thanks to my editor Kitty who did so much of the work on this video!
Also thanks to Kohei for introducing me to Ohkura san and driving me out there so often.
