The strawberry picking season typically runs from mid-December through the end of April or early May, depending on the harvest conditions each year. The farm operates on a seasonal schedule, with the exact opening and closing dates varying slightly year to year. It's recommended to check the farm's current season status before planning your visit, as they close for the year once the season ends in late spring.
Yes, advance reservations are strongly recommended, especially for weekend visits and during peak season. The farm can be contacted by phone to arrange your visit. Making a reservation ensures availability and helps the farm prepare for your arrival. Early morning visits are particularly popular as the strawberries are at their peak ripeness, so booking ahead is essential if you want to secure a preferred time slot.
Visitors typically receive 40 minutes or more for the all-you-can-eat strawberry picking experience. This provides ample time to explore the greenhouse, select ripe strawberries, and enjoy eating them fresh from the plants. The farm's policy allows you to eat as many strawberries as you like during your allocated time period without additional charges beyond the admission fee.
Yes, Kawatsura Strawberry Farm provides English language support, making it accessible for international visitors. The farm's website has an English version with information about visiting, and the owner is accustomed to welcoming guests from overseas. The farm is located relatively close to Narita International Airport, making it a convenient option for tourists with time between flights or those staying in the greater Tokyo area.
The farm is approximately 65 minutes from Tokyo Station by express train, followed by a short taxi ride to reach the farm itself. For those driving, the journey takes about 90 minutes from central Tokyo, and the farm provides free parking for visitors arriving by car. While the farm is accessible by public transportation, having a rental car offers more convenience as the farm is located in a rural agricultural area where taxi services may be limited.
Traveler reviews
Had great experience of Strawberry picking. Let's start from information, website is available in English as well so its quite easy to understand each and everything, for example rules, fees, access etc.
It takes around 1hr 30mins to reach there by car from central Tokyo but you can use public transport like train as well.
Rates and timings varies according to month and availabilities of Strawberries so it is advised to check the Calendar page at least one day before.
Its good to go as early as possible in the morning to enjoy more riped strawberries.
There is good and free parking space for cars so no need to worry.
This farm is highly recommended!
(1) good to arrive close to open time to avoid disappointment (2) there are several farms along the same stretch, so walk further in to find kawatsura farm. The farms on the outside were at full capacity. (3) Owners are nice. They have 7 species of strawberries available for us to try within 60mins. (4) Free parking available and toilets are available at the farm
My 2nd time to experience strawberry eat all you can for 60mins
Make sure to make a reservation before going to the strawberry farm.
And also to confirm availability of the place

Very well maintained place, really loved the place,
Easy access by public transport, located on main road.Beautiful location.
They didn’t take reservations, so place be there before 9 specially on weekends,
You need to pick a card for group & upto 40-50 group will be entertained,
Be careful there are 2 farms adjacent to each other, this is slightly ahead of 1st one,
Very economical & as compare to other farm no time limit like 40-50mins,
But you can stay upto 11:30am only,
Overall a must experience if you are nearby.
Nice place for picking strawberries and they were tasty too.
