I enjoyed my trip for their strawberry picking event. I don’t speak Japanese well so I was glad to see how kind and supportive the staff were in assisting a non-Japanese speaker like myself. I enjoyed picking many strawberries and tasting different varieties! These strawberries were the most delicious I’ve ever eaten. You can even take them home 😀
