This is Yatsugatake Energy Farm. You may be surprised to hear that you can pick strawberries all year round, but we have made it possible to do so with strict temperature and water management in an all-weather greenhouse! The "Yatsumaru" strawberries that we grow all year round are very rare because they only bear a small amount of fruit! However, they are very fragrant and sweet, and our customers are very happy with them. (※All-year strawberries: strawberries that bear fruit all year round) We also grow other rare summer and autumn strawberries. ▼Experience process At the reception, please tell us that you have made a reservation. *Please show us the reservation completion screen or email for a smooth experience. ↓After the guide, start the experience right away♪ Please enjoy your fill. ▼Variety●Yatsumaru*A four-year-old variety bred at Shinshu University.

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.
