This fun place opened in 2003 in Seika Town, southern Kyoto Prefecture. They offer strawberry picking and edamame (young soybean) harvesting.
From winter to around spring, you can pick and enjoy the flavor of your own strawberries, freshly picked, sweet and juicy. (The exact timing varies from year to year.) You can eat as many strawberries as you like for 40 minutes. The main variety is the popular Akihime, with occasional Benihoppe. The bright red strawberries grow in abundance, which is a feast for the eye, too. They use raised beds, and there is no need to bend over low, and the aisles are wide. It’s a comfortable place offering an exciting experience for anyone, including people with strollers and wheelchairs. Furthermore, their greenhouses can accommodate large groups. Even groups of 200-300 people have enjoyed it. Groups can come by bus, too. In addition, the farm offers products using their strawberries, as well as freshly packed strawberries.
The edamame harvesting is held in October. You can harvest high-quality black soybeans Shin-tamba-guro, one of the local specialties of the Tamba region in Kyoto. They are also available for purchase at the farm's direct sales store. Both strawberry and edamame harvesting require advance reservations by phone or through their website.
