■ Charcoal grill in the hearth ■ Hearth…. It often appears in old stories. The hearth is in the hotel. Under the thatched roof. In the hearth, goheimochi rice cakes on skewers and river fish are slowly grilled over charcoal. Talk slowly with your family and friends until it burns. That talk makes charcoal grilling delicious. While talking, the fat drops from the river fish. However, don't be impatient. The charcoal-grilled delicious river fish waits carefully. Sometimes it's good to drink while watching it. The hotel has both cold sake and hot sake. There are also potatoes, wheat, and rice for shochu. Our homemade plum wine is also available. The conversation will be even more exciting. There are plenty of soft drinks, so even those who can't drink are okay! We have 100% juice from Nagano prefecture, our homemade plum juice, and our homemade medicinal tea.

<Fixed quantity picking and take-home plan> ▼ Introducing the plan ▼ *Rare white strawberry Shinjuhime ** Winner of the Bronze Award at the Tabechoku Strawberry Grand Prix 2025 * Among the Grand Prix-winning varieties, our Shinjuhime is the only white strawberry. We carefully select and grow "Shinjuhime," which is particularly sweet and fragrant among white strawberries. It is the offspring of the "Momo-kaoru" variety, which is famous for its peach scent, and is characterized by a peach flavor and sweetness that makes it hard to believe it is a strawberry. Since "Momo-kaoru" is a pink strawberry, it is no exaggeration to call "Shinjuhime" "pure white peach scent." The skin and seeds are white, so the whiteness stands out even among the varieties called white strawberries. It is characterized by its sweetness and strong fragrance, which can be compared to the nuances of ripe fresh peaches, yellow peaches in syrup, and lychees. Since it is a new variety that has just been born, only three producers nationwide are cultivating it. This is a pick-and-seek strawberry picking, so you can pick your own 150g pack of strawberries. The plan includes the price of picking a 150g pack. ▼About our farm▼★★Ranked #1 in the annual strawberry picking popularity ranking★★ (2022 season, Hokuriku, Koshinetsu area) Karuizawa's winter and spring strawberries are characterized by their melting sweetness. The strawberry picking house is located in a plateau at an altitude of 1,000m, so the temperature difference between day and night creates strawberries with a rich flavor. Although the harvest is reduced by the time-consuming manual bud picking (thinning), we are devising ways to create strawberries with a rich flavor that you have never tasted before with our craftsmanship. Please enjoy this moving 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 about a 10-minute drive from Nakakaruizawa Station, in the Firefly Village, which has a great view and is surrounded by the majestic Mount Asama.

<Fixed quantity picking and take-home plan> ▼ Plan introduction ▼ * Rare black strawberry Shinku no Misuzu * ◎ Our farm's "Shinku no Misuzu" was featured as a special ingredient on Nippon Television's "Manten ☆ Aozora Restaurant" (broadcast on March 9, 2024) We grow them with special permission from the breed developer. This variety is rich in anthocyanins and shines dark red. It has a very rich flavor and is characterized by a melting sweetness and special aroma that cannot be tasted in other strawberries, such as tropical passion fruit and bananas. The darker the color, the richer the flavor. Since it is a picking method of strawberry picking, you can freely pick 150 grams of strawberries per pack. The plan includes the fee for picking a 150 gram pack. ▼ About our farm ▼ ★★ Ranked #1 in the annual strawberry picking popularity ranking ★★ (2022 season, Hokuriku Koshinetsu area) Karuizawa's winter and spring strawberries are characterized by their melting sweetness.
