<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.

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.
