- Melon Season Timing:
The legendary Yubari Melons are typically available from late May to August. If your primary goal is tasting these luxury fruits, plan your private tour during these months to ensure the best selection at local markets. - A Photographer’s Haven:
Yubari is filled with retro billboards and nostalgic architecture from the 1960s-70s. We recommend wearing slightly vintage or classic-style outfits (like a trench coat or denim) to take amazing “time-travel” photos against the city’s backdrop. - Combine with Mt. Racey:
In winter, Yubari is home to the Mt. Racey Ski Resort. If you are traveling with ski gear, our private cars have plenty of space, providing a smooth door-to-door service from your hotel to the slopes.
