Strawberry Picking



The best time to experience strawberry picking in Japan is during winter, from February to early spring in March.    You can take a bus tour or go on your own by trains to popular strawberry farm in Izu and Chiba.   

... i recommend that you go to Naruto - the town for strawberry picking, the town has dozens of farms for your choice, all open during the season for strawberry picking ...

How to go?  Take trains to Naruto Station in Chiba.   When you arrive at Naruto, go the the Tourist Information Center just beside the station.   There are various choices of strawberry farms you can visit however during peak season (strawberry picking season) it is best to check with the Tourist Information Center which farm is best for a visit that day  (alternatively you can  make a reservation for picking prior to visit).   

Call Tourist Information Center (Naruto) at 0475-82-2071 when you are in Japan.
