There are also varieties limited to Hyogo! "Shinoda Strawberry Farm"

In January, strawberries are sold at farms all over the country, and strawberry picking starts from late January to February. This time we will introduce "Shinoda Strawberry Farm". In addition to ``Akihime'' and ``Benihoppe'', two other varieties, ``Ama Queen'' and ``Beni Queen'', both native to Hyogo Prefecture, are also grown here. *For strawberry picking, some varieties may not be available depending on the day. Please check in advance if there is a desired variety.

[Strawberry picking] Early January to end of May (reservation required) 10:00 to 15:00 (sales at direct sales until 17:00)

All-you-can-eat for 45 minutes: 2,600 yen for elementary school students and above, 1,900 yen for kindergarteners from 3 years old, free for children under 2 years old

All you can eat for 45 minutes! Experience strawberry picking

First, I paid at the reception desk, received scissors and a cup, and headed to the house. When you enter the house, you can see large strawberries that are ready to eat all over the place! Choose sweet and shiny strawberries in the designated area.

The house at Shinoda Strawberry Farm is barrier-free.

Since they are grown at waist height, you can pick them in a comfortable position. It's warm inside the house, so it's easy to move around in light clothing.

Freshly picked seasonal strawberries are really delicious! The all-you-can-eat meal is long at 45 minutes, so you can enjoy it to your heart's content.

Processed products made with strawberries from Shinoda Strawberry Farm are also on sale. We recommend strawberry jam and strawberry butter made with luxuriously grown strawberries! It is sold at Roadside Station Kita Harima Eco Museum and Kita Harima Shunsaikan.

Lots of souvenirs too! Strawberry jam, strawberry butter, etc.

Freshly picked strawberries are also sold in packs at the direct sales store. Depending on the day, the item may not be available or may be sold out, so please make a reservation if you see the item you want.

The one on the right of the photo is "Beni Queen" and the one on the left is "Akihime." ``Beni Queen'' is a beautiful red color with large grains and a luxurious feel. The texture is firm and the sweetness and sourness are well balanced. “Akihime” has a high sugar content and is very sweet! There is no acidity and the pulp is soft.

Now, after purchasing fresh strawberries from the direct sales store, we highly recommend visiting the cafe ``Kissa Dot'' where you can bring your own strawberries. This shop is located a few minutes by car near Shinoda Strawberry Farm, and if you bring in the strawberries you purchased at Shinoda Strawberry Farm or Sato Fruit Studio, they will make your favorite parfait.

Kissa Dot is a cafe where you can bring in freshly picked strawberries.

First, you decide on your size, then choose your ice cream from vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry, and choose your sauce: strawberry or chocolate. This is truly a custom-made strawberry parfait♪

Here is the finished product. This is 720 yen!! (The cost of purchasing the strawberries you bring in is not included. The price varies depending on the contents.) It's a luxury that would cost several thousand yen at a cafe in the city.

You can bring in strawberries purchased from two strawberry farms, Shinoda Strawberry Farm and Sato Fruit Studio, so you can enjoy changing the varieties as many times as you like.

Nishiwaki City also has farms where you can pick strawberries and cafes where you can enjoy strawberry sweets. Strawberry cultivation continues in Nishiwaki City until the end of May, with the seasonal varieties changing little by little, so you can enjoy plenty of strawberries until spring!
