Microorganisms adhering to the surface of fruits and quality stability of fig cultivar 'Toyomitsuhime' cultured in open field and greenhouse were investigated during and after rain. Moisture content of figs gradually increased with rainfall regardless of cultivation method. After rain, it took three or more days for fruits to return to their initial moisture content. Brix content of figs gradually decreased with rainfall regardless of cultivation method. After rain, it took three or more days to return to the initial brix content. The numbers of microorganisms adhering to the fruits cultured in open field increased with rainfall, and thereafter began to decrease. It took two days to return to the initial numbers of microorganisms. The influence of greenhouse cultivation on microorganisms adhering to the fruits was small. The ratio of fruits affected with fungi was subject to greater variation in open field than in greenhouse.
