A couple in their fifties takes a road trip with their dog, visiting popular stores that usually have long lines on weekends.
This time, the date was Thursday, September 4, 2025, in Yamanashi Prefecture. They visited farm stands and farm shops at the height of grape season, searching for Shine Muscat grapes for under 500 yen. In addition to the standard farm stands, they visited three stores they'd been interested in but had been hesitant to enter, based on word of mouth.

The locations include Nanbu Roadside Station, Fujikawa Roadside Station, Toyotomi Roadside Station, Fudoki no Oka Farm Shop, Shinbikaen, Yatsushiro Green Farm, First Time Visitor Shokaen, Anshin no Yakata, and Nishimura Farm.

If you're heading to a popular store on the weekend, you might be wondering how crowded it is on weekdays while waiting for hours to get in.
If it's so quiet on weekdays, it would be great if you could consider taking a vacation day to visit on a weekday. We have a wire fox terrier named Michelle and a miniature dachshund named Maron, and we've included dog-friendly shops and other useful tips for traveling with dogs. We hope this is helpful for all dog lovers out there.
