At 1,000 meters above sea level on the Karuizawa Plateau, this strawberry harvesting course begins in crisp mountain air, where clean surroundings and seasonal shifts quietly shape every berry.

The higher altitude and large day-to-night temperature changes help the strawberries grow naturally sweet, with a deeper aroma that feels different from those grown in lower areas.

Inside the all-weather greenhouses, elevated strawberry beds are arranged for easy access and comfort. You can move through them naturally without bending, making it easy for guests of all ages to enjoy.

The greenhouse stays gently warm year-round, offering a calm indoor space even when Karuizawa outside is cool or rainy.

This experience is guided by a team of strawberry specialists who carefully select and grow fruit for quality rather than quantity. Instead of a standard picking session, it focuses on berries chosen at their peak, where flavor and texture are at their most refined.

As you move through the rows, you will notice subtle differences in color and shape that guide you toward perfectly ripe fruit ready to be picked.

Through the greenhouse windows, Mount Asama stands in the distance, shifting with the light, clouds, and seasons. It quietly frames the experience and connects the greenhouse space to the wider natural landscape of Karuizawa.

The warm greenhouse and cool mountain air outside create a gentle seasonal contrast, especially in summer and autumn when the surrounding greenery feels most vivid.

At the end of your visit, you will choose 250 grams of strawberries to take home. Each pack is carefully prepared so the freshness carries beyond the farm.

The experience remains simple and unhurried, centered on the quiet pleasure of selecting fruit at its peak and enjoying it in its most natural state.
