Apple growers in Aomori Prefecture, northeastern Japan, are busy harvesting the popular Fuji variety.
The bright red fruit accounts for nearly half of the apples grown in the prefecture. Harvesting began last month and is now at its peak.
Farmer Sotokawa Takaaki, his family and workers picked the apples and put them in baskets at his orchard of about four hectares in Hirakawa City.
They checked the color of each apple and looked for scratches before packing them in boxes for shipping.
Sotokawa says this year's apples are large and have a rich taste, thanks to good weather and less damage from wildlife.
He says he thinks the crop of the region's flagship variety is especially good quality, and he hopes many people will enjoy the fruit.
