The strawberry picking season has just come ! It’s generally said that there are more than 100 species of strawberries in Japan and here we have “Akihime” and “Beni-hoppe ( blushing cheek )" branded strawberries in Shizuoka. Well balanced sweetness and fresh sourness never stop attracting people throughout Japan and you can try them in an as-much-as-you-can-eat style at the farm below. Most of them starts from mid-Dec or early-Jan and ends on the day when Golden week, our special long holidays in May ends. I would recommend to visit it sooner because strawberries becomes smaller and smaller and sometimes sourness gets the better of sweetness ( though just my impression ) which always makes my mouth water, I mean, caused by sourness.
Now, here are strawberry farms in Shizuoka. If you are visiting one of them and don’t know how to reach, please feel free to contact us from here.
