Mount Yatsugatake Fruit Farm
2705 Sutamacho Kogoe, Hokuto, Yamanashi 408-0104
There are six varieties of strawberries available, including rare varieties such as Benihoppe, Yayoihime, Sachinoka, Sagahonoka, Tochiotome, and Oi C Berry.
The 30-minute all-you-can-eat course is available from 3,000 yen on weekdays (prices vary on weekends and holidays).
There is also a course where you can pick your favorite strawberries, weigh them and pay for them, which starts from 1,200 yen.
Six types of strawberries are neatly lined up, allowing you to compare each variety and enjoy the different colors, sweetness, and flavors.
For those who can't eat that many at once, we recommend the course where the price is determined by weight. Choose your favorite strawberries, pick only the amount you need, and weigh them. The price is 5 yen per gram. You can eat the strawberries you picked right away or take them home.
The farm sells condensed milk and chocolate sauce, but you can also bring your own from home.
The strawberries that were left unpicked are sold in buckets. They are recommended for processing into jam and other products. They are sold with the hope that many people will be able to taste the strawberries that they have carefully grown. This is an initiative that is also connected to the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).
