This is a limited-time special plan for 2024, and is a small-group tour limited to a maximum of 5 people! Aren't you worried about planning an outdoor activity that might tire you out on your precious day off? If you are worried that mountain biking is not for you, or that cycling is not physically viable, we recommend this special experience plan! Unlike regular tours, there is no climbing. (You just go down) As you can see in the picture, you will be riding a mountain bike through a "real forest" that you can't experience on other tours, so even those who are not physically fit can rest assured. The time includes a simple explanation of how to ride and preparations before departure, so the actual riding time is about 1 hour from the time of gathering to the time of returning, and it will be completed within 2 hours (if everything goes smoothly, it will be about 1 hour and 45 minutes). Moreover, the rental set is free, so you can experience MTB empty-handed! Also, this plan is a fully private reservation. This is a special plan for this year only, with limited numbers and numbers, because this tour is a bargain at this time of year. Unlike other tours, you will not be joining with other customers, so you can enjoy it at your own pace! *Please note* (If a child under 140cm tall is participating, we do not have a bicycle that is suitable for the course, so you will need to bring a bicycle that you are used to riding. For this plan, rentals start from XS size 26 inches. (Anyone with a height of about 140cm can ride it, and even people around 135cm can ride it if they are used to riding bicycles.) *There are no rental bicycles under 26 inches. This is because it is difficult to ride a bicycle with small tires in a real forest. *In addition, "being able to stand on the pedals" and "being able to brake by holding the brake lever with your hand" are also guidelines for participating in the tour safely. However, even if you do not meet these conditions, if you are interested in participating, please feel free to contact us! We will consult with you as much as possible! If you have the desire, we can do something! Maybe?! Maybe^^

<Strawberry Picking Harvesting Experience Course (Admission Fee Included)> You can pick strawberries freely and enjoy them at your leisure at your hotel or at home. Recommended for those who do not want to eat as many strawberries as you want, and for families with small children. ▼ Plan Introduction ▼ Since it is a picking method, you can pick 250 grams of strawberries per pack from a bench on an elevated cultivation. The plan includes the fee for picking 250 grams. ▼ About our farm ▼ ★★ Ranked in the top of the annual strawberry picking popularity ranking ★★ (1st place in 2019, 1st place in 2022, 4th place in 2023: 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 taste. Although the harvest volume is reduced by the laborious hand-picking of buds (thinning), the craftsmanship is ingenious to produce strawberries with a richer flavor than anything you have ever tasted before. 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.
