Canoe type: The Canadian canoe used in the experience is a type of canoe, which is basically a boat for 2 to 3 people, and is a vehicle that is rowed using a tool called a paddle. It is relatively stable, and because it is an open deck type, it has a high loading capacity and is characterized by being able to touring leisurely.

Even on days when you can't see Mt. Fuji, there are lots of fun, such as the surrounding mountains, the flowers in the park, and the uninhabited island in the center of the lake. Guide: The representative guide has many years of experience in conducting canoeing experience tours at Lake Kawaguchiko, and in addition to canoeing guides, he is also in charge of nature guides and mountain climbing guides, and he has a wealth of knowledge and provides tourist information.

自己流にテラリウムをやっているのですが、専門家に教わりながら苔テラリウムを作るというのは初めてで自分よりも精通してる人から教えて貰おうと受けました。 ただ見たことのない苔に見とれたり、苔のメンテナンスの仕方や栽培方法が予想外でびっくりして中々質問できなかったことは悔しいです。 けれどテラリウムを作ることは楽しかったですし、あまり質問できなかったとはいえ講師の方の知識量がすごくて大満足です。教えてもらったことは育てる中で生かしたいです。 後、当日冷え込んでたこともありお茶を用意してくれました。ありがとうございます。 白樺湖周辺の観光や蓼科でゆっくりする際にちょっと足を延ばして忘れがたいお土産を作るのおススメですよ。

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.

Please enjoy this experience that can only be experienced in Karuizawa to your heart's content. All strawberry greenhouses are clean, raised cultivation, making picking easy. It is located in Firefly Village, surrounded by the majestic Mt. Asama, about a 10-minute drive from Nakakaruizawa Station. *The price includes the picking experience course (1,500 yen) + admission fee (facility maintenance cooperation fee 500 yen). *This plan is not an all-you-can-eat course, so you cannot eat the strawberries in the greenhouse.

The types of strawberries are Benihoppe, Kaorino, Yotsuboshi, Yayoihime, Koiminori, etc., and there are about three varieties depending on the growing conditions. ★Our farm's "Kaorino" is a special strawberry that won the taste evaluation of the "1st Strawberry Championship" hosted by the Japan Vegetable Sommelier Association, and "Yotsuboshi" is a special strawberry that won the taste evaluation of the "2nd Strawberry Championship". ▼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) Karuizawa's winter and spring strawberries are characterized by their melting sweetness. 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 flavor. Although the harvest volume is reduced by the time-consuming manual bud picking (thinning), we have devised a way to create strawberries with a rich flavor that you have never tasted before. Please enjoy this experience that can only be experienced in Karuizawa to your heart's content. All strawberry houses are grown in clean elevated cultivation, making picking easy. It is located in Firefly Village, which has a great view and is surrounded by the majestic Mt. Asama, about 15 minutes by car from Karuizawa Station. ▼Introduction of the main target varieties▼・Kaorino: In the cold climate of Karuizawa, the strawberries ripen slowly and fully, so they are enveloped in a vanilla-like scent, as if you were drinking strawberry juice. ・Yotsuboshi: Our Yotsuboshi not only has a rich flavor with an excellent triplet of sweetness, sourness, and aroma, but also grows into a very neat and beautiful fruit.・Yayoihime: At its peak, it is the sweetest of all the varieties, and the size of the berries is also enjoyable. *Shinku no Meisuzu has been excluded from the Premium Course because it was often unavailable due to growing conditions.

台風状況などで行程を決めかねる部分があったのですが、柔軟に対応いただけたおかげで不安が薄れました。 ほうとう作り体験では、要所要所でうまくフォローいただけたおかげで無事美味しくいただけました。 とり天を子供用にカットしたくてハサミをお借りできたり、食べきれなかった分を自己責任ですが持ち帰る容器をいただけたりしたので、とても助かりました。 0.5だけ減らしたのは、1組だけで体験していたからか?、体験中の写真を撮影して貰えていた参加者もいたようだったので、手が粉で汚れていて自分では撮れなかった写真が平等に撮っていただけたらより嬉しかったという点と、 キャンセル料の発生が宿や他アクティビティより断トツ早くて、台風発生で安全面を考慮し旅行の催行を迷った際の一番のネックだった(これだけキャンセル料がかかるので)点が少し残念だったからなのですが、総じてとても楽しめました。ありがとうございました!
