<<Admission ticket (entry to strawberry house only)>> This is a ticket for customers who will not pick strawberries but will only enter the strawberry house. ▼Plan introduction▼ * Customers who do not enter the strawberry house, such as customers who purchase souvenirs or smoothies, do not need to purchase an admission ticket. * Customers who apply for a strawberry picking experience do not need to purchase an admission ticket separately, as the "admission fee" is included in each strawberry picking plan. * If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. ▼Information about our farm▼ ★★Top ranking in the annual strawberry picking popularity ranking★★ (1st place in 2019, 1st place in 2022, 4th place in 2023, 2nd place in 2024: Hokuriku Koshinetsu area, Ikoyo survey) The strawberry picking house is located in a plateau area at an altitude of 1,000m, so the temperature difference between day and night creates strawberries with a rich taste. Although the harvest volume is reduced by the time-consuming cold-weather treatment (exposing the strawberries to the cold) and manual thinning (thinning out), the strawberries are produced with the artisan's skill and ingenuity to produce strawberries with a rich flavor never tasted before. The farm is located in the firefly village with a great view, surrounded by the majestic Mount Asama, about 10 minutes by car from Nakakaruizawa Station.
