Why this phrase
Kofuku reveals the hidden autumn hunting calendar: 紅葉狩り for leaves, ぶどう狩り for grapes, 栗拾い for chestnuts. The word 狩り looks like spear-hunting but for fruit and leaves it means paying a farm for a 30-minute all-you-can-eat window, and September is peak grape season right now. The one word to remember is ぶどう狩り, and the same word pattern rolls on to whatever fruit is in season. Bookable without any app, usually walk-in.
