Strawberry Picking in Tokyo

Strawberry Picking in Tokyo

Sweet winter berries and countryside escapes in the city

By

Strawberry picking has quietly become one of Tokyo’s most popular seasonal escapes, offering city dwellers a chance to trade concrete streets for greenhouse rows heavy with fresh fruit. 

Each winter and spring, farms across Tokyo and its western suburbs open their doors for ichigo-gari (Japan’s beloved all-you-can-pick strawberry experience), where visitors can sample premium varieties at peak freshness. Unlike traditional sightseeing, strawberry picking is limited by nature itself—harvest seasons are short, availability changes weekly and many farms operate only on select days. 

To make planning easy, we’ve compiled a list of the best and most conveniently located strawberry-picking farms in and around Tokyo. All of the spots below are easily accessible from the city, offer fresh seasonal berries and provide a range of experiences—from casual drop-in visits to reservation-only farms—so you can find the option that fits your schedule.
