Strawberry Picking

Japan is well known for growing mouthwatering, plump, juicy strawberries. While there are many stores and grocers that sell delicious Japanese strawberries, picking fresh strawberries is a great way to enjoy the popular tropical fruit. Strawberry picking is a popular past-time in many areas of Japan, including Yamanashi, Niigata, and Kochi Prefectures.

Strawberry picking is a popular seasonal activity that attracts children and elderly alike. Tourists and locals come to farms to pick strawberries and learn how to tell when they are just right for picking. If you add strawberry picking to your Japan tour, prepare to spend more time than you expect sampling fresh strawberries right off the vine. Most farms also have a gift shop or cafe you can go to enjoy a snack after you pick strawberries to your heart's content. Add strawberry picking in Yamanashi to your free day in Tokyo during your Japan tour, or customize your own Japan tour package to include this family friendly activity.
