This is a limited-edition special plan for 2025, and is a private tour where the reserved time slot will be reserved exclusively for groups of 3 to 5 people! Are you worried about planning a bike ride that will tire you out on your precious holiday? If you are worried that mountain biking is not for you, or that you are not physically fit, then this special experience plan is recommended! Unlike regular tours, there is no climbing (just descending). As you can see in the picture, you will just ride a mountain bike down a "real forest" that you can't experience on other tours, so even those who are not physically fit can rest assured! ♪ If everything goes smoothly from the time you meet up to the time you return, it will be completed in 90 minutes (this includes preparation before the start, explanations, and practice). Moreover, all rental equipment is free, so you can experience MTB empty-handed! Also, since it is an exceptional price for a chartered tour in the summer, it is offered as a test special plan for this year only, with a limited number of people and a limited number of people. Unlike other tours, you will not be joining other customers, so you can enjoy the tour at your own pace. *Please note* If a child under 140cm tall is participating, there will be no bicycles that are suitable for the course. For this plan, rentals start from XS size 26 inches. (Anyone who is about 140cm tall can ride, and even 135cm tall can ride 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. Even if you are not tall enough, you can participate if you bring a bicycle that is 24 inches or larger that you are used to riding, but if you get a flat tire or break down during the tour, we will not be able to prepare parts to repair the bicycle you brought with you, so please be sure to bring repair parts. *In addition, it is also a guideline for participating in the tour safely to be able to "stand and pedal" and "hold the brake lever with your hand and apply the brake" (you cannot stop with the foot brake). However, even if you do not meet these conditions, if you are interested in participating, please feel free to contact us. We will do our best to help you! If you have the desire, you can make it happen! Maybe?! Maybe^^

During your free time on your trip, you can make a moss terrarium and take it home! Why not try to create your own unique little moss world in a case? This is a 90-minute plan, but if you would like to make more, you can extend the time by 15 minutes for 300 yen. *The type of moss we provide will vary depending on the season, temperature, and humidity, so we will use 4-5 types of moss that are in good condition on the day, but we cannot specify the type, so we hope you understand this. On the other hand, you will be able to use a lot of different moss.*

I want to try it with my family, but I don't need enough for the whole family. Or, I need help with the children, so I'm fine with just two people even though there are four of us. I feel that there are quite a few needs like this every day, so we will prepare enough materials to make three cases, so you can come with as many people as you like! (However, since the work space is small, the maximum number of people is about 6-7.) *If you want to do more, you can add more people on the spot. It's 2,500 yen (tax included) per person. *How about a slightly advantageous family plan? ! (Of course, it's OK even if you're not a family, and if one or two people are making three cases, this plan is cheaper!) *It's OK to book this plan for three people! However, the "cases and moss" may be slightly different from when you book the regular plan, because it is cheaper.*

Recommended points: Rare summer/autumn strawberries grown in the nature-rich Karuizawa Plateau. Harvesting experience with 250g of strawberries picked by hand. You can take home the strawberries you picked yourself! Great for rainy day activities. 15 minutes by car from Karuizawa Station. Great for sightseeing in Karuizawa! You can pick the strawberries carefully and enjoy them at your leisure at the hotel, your home, or the reception's rest area. Recommended for families with small children. Plan introduction: This is a pick-and-pick strawberry picking, so you can pick 250 grams of strawberries from a raised bench. The plan includes the fee for picking a 250 gram pack. *Main varieties: The varieties that can be picked vary depending on the season. Karuizawa Summer Queen: A new variety developed by Shinshu University in Nagano Prefecture. It is particularly sweet and rich among summer/autumn strawberries. "Summer Queen" is a registered trademark of Karuizawa Garden Farm, and is a very rare variety with a low yield. This is a summer/autumn strawberry that is red all the way through. <<Pechika Honoka>> This is a premium variety of summer/autumn strawberry that has an especially excellent taste. We obtained special permission and started cultivating it in 2021. The flesh is white, and it has a creamy sweetness like strawberry milk. It is a rare variety that can only be enjoyed at a few strawberry picking locations in Japan. ▼ What are summer/autumn strawberries? ▼ Strawberries that can be harvested from early summer to early December are called summer/autumn strawberries. Since the summer in Japan is generally hot, domestic strawberry production was originally low and rare, but our farm is able to grow strawberries even during the summer by taking advantage of the cool climate that is unique to the plateau. Summer/autumn strawberries are a variety that are characterized by their refreshing sweet and sour taste, but the fresh, ripe strawberries that are unique to strawberry picking are sweet and satisfying even when eaten as is! We have received positive feedback. Please enjoy the strawberries that our farm, which is committed to strawberry cultivation throughout the year, has carefully created with many ingenuity! ▼About our farm▼Karuizawa is located at an altitude of 1,000m. You can enjoy strawberry picking in an all-weather vinyl greenhouse with the majestic Mt. Asama in front of you. It is a natural environment blessed with clean water and air, so much so that fireflies fly around in the summer. It is conveniently located about 15 minutes by car from Karuizawa Prince Shopping Plaza, Harunire Terrace (Hoshino Resort Tombo no Yu), and JR Karuizawa Station. Enjoy strawberry picking as part of your sightseeing in Karuizawa♪ The summer and autumn strawberry greenhouses have a pleasant view and are all raised to make picking easy. They are also perfect as an activity on rainy days. We look forward to seeing you.

<<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.
