    There are a couple of wasabi farms in the area but this one seems more popular, perhaps as it is the closest to the train station.

    There are several walks there, as well as a wasabi statue. In the autumn season, there is one especially majestic tree all decked out in yellow. Do also check out the mills by the river with its clear crystal waters.

    There are a couple of eateries, including a steak house and a rice pot eatery where you can mix the local wasabi, which you freshly ground, in. They serve wasabi ice cream and wasabi croquettes too.

    Do visit the shop where you can buy locally made products and wasabi related items. The young wasabi smells nice but is not as pungent or spicy like commercial ones where mustard is added.

    Getting there is relatively easy - you can get discounted taxi coupons for @1300 yen both ways from the tourism office, and then ask the wasabi farm staff to call a cab for your return to the train station.

    中込農園is one of the best farms in Japan. I really enjoyed staying there. The farm have wide variety of fruits in premium quality including peach, apple, grape, nectarine, cherry, pear, persimmon and plum. Honestly the fruits are the best I've ever try in my life. Besides, the hospitality of Kazu san and his staffs makes the experience even better. It is especially suitable for family or friends gathering. The price of fruit picking is reasonable and there are plenty of car parking space. After fruit picking, it is always nice to take a walk in the downtown Yamanashi. I'm sure you will like it!

    This farm covers a large area. When we visited there were several large school parties, and they were clearly having a lot of fun. Our group ate in a large barn-like restaurant at the top of the site. There was a wide range of food on offer - buffet style, which was great. As far as I could tell you could eat as much as you liked.

    Bell Farm consists of a beautiful rose-garden, several public greenhouses, a farmers market, both indoor and out (the outdoor one is on weekends and holidays, and is weather-dependent), a restaurant, wide-open lawns for picnicking, a play-park for children, and an adult-exercising circuit, although this is in need of repairs. When we went in June, there was an Ikebana contest on one of the lawns. The little shop has many different products from both Bell Farm, and other local farms. We purchased several vegetables, milk, and tea while we were there. The restaurant was very popular, and looked delicious, although we did not eat there. The parking and entrance to this attraction was free. It is definitely worth a visit, if you are in the Matsusaka area.

    A winery with a garden and restaurant. Great for a French bistro style lunch with a gorgeous view. Be sure to book ahead.

    Free winery tour and garden. You'll meet 'Yagiko' the friendly mascot goat who loves to cuddle.

    A great place to relax and hang out. The owner is a known author and illustrator. The restaurant is run by his friendly charming wife. You can buy his illustrated souvenirs at the winery.

    Highly recommend.

    My family spent many days here when we lived in Haramura. The park is fantastic--full of open space and natural beauty. In the winter, we often felt like it was our own private park and spent many hours sledding down various hills. It's a great place for family gatherings and picnics, fun for old and young alike. It's still my favorite park in the world.

    A very big farm with a variety of activities for the whole family. The bread making & oyaki making classes were simple and fun. The apple picking session is nice too! Friendly staff Otsuki-san helped with the English translation of the activities, which made them more enjoyable.

    This place is a little bit outside Nagoya City, around 30 minutes by subway and train from Nagoya Station. The place is nice, very cheap entrance ticket for the garden itself (Â¥100), and there are a lot more things to see and do here like mini zoo (for dairy animal mainly), ranch, riding horse, riding carrier pulled by tractor, etc. Restaurant was also good here.

    Ishigaki is the stone works that support the steep slopes. The Shimizu area, which faces the sea and cradled by the hills to block the cold north wind, was the first area in Japan to commercialize early harvest strawberries in Japan many years ago. The strawberries from this area are called Ishigaki strawberries - nothing to do with the Ishigaki Island of Okinawa, though people sometimes confuse them.

    Anyway, the hothouses are naturally heated by the sun, fed by the mineral-rich ground water coming down the hills (just like the vineyards in Burgundy! ), and produce flavorful, firm strawberries that you will keep reaching for another one!

    We went to Yamaroku farm, which gives your group a small hot house all to yourself. Wonderful friendly proprietors. Their homemade gelato is delicious, too.

    I have gone strawberry picking in other areas but this was the best one for me. Highly recommended.

    A typical but nevertheless amazing (as others) Japanese strawberry farm: you pay a set price and eat as many strawberries as you want/can. I don’t remember the exact price, something around $20 or less for an adult, a bit less for kids. You can not take the berries from the green house but you can buy them at a stand at the entrance to the farm. We went in winter, I don’t know if prices differ in various seasons

    I have a home nearby so visit Oracle often to enjoy fresh milk, best soft cream ice cream, feeding the animals as well as shopping before making personal art things. Great for families.
    Oracle is a very strange name to name a ranch but if you go there, you will learn that it means and stands for Organic Refresh Agriculture Tanna (this location) Comfortable Healthy Ecology. JFYI.

    Visited with 2.5 year old twins.
    Odd place, but really recommended when approaching with the right expectations.

    GOOD: No entry or parking fee.
    Cows, horses, sheep, goats, lambs to see and touch (can't touch the cows but wouldn't want too).
    Lots of space to run and picnic.
    Lots of sakura (timing dependent) and pretty view if the mountain tops.

    BAD: Not top condition. No real guidance as to where things are or public boundaries. Limited shop. Dining options very limited (just curry I think).

    ADVICE: Bring a picnic on a good weather day.

    SUMMARY: Can't be negative when it's free. Consider as a pretty picnic venue with a authentic farmyard bonus.

    Straughtforward activity - walk into the tents, eat strawberries with sweet condensed milk.

    No views (as it was indoor) or anything, but the massive red strawberries were already a marvel to see. They're very sweet, watery, and fresh. My family enjoyed it a lot. We've never seen strawberries this big & fresh!

    We were free to eat as many as we'd like and boy did we eat a lot!

    The Greenpia (Gurinpia) tea plantation (noted as a $90 per person excursion from the cruise) is located in the Mokinohara area. So we decided to take the air conditioned train down to the Kikugawa Station from Shimuzu and visit Greenpia. Note: The train from Shizuoka doesn't takes you all the way to Kikugawa and you have to transfer to another platform at Rokugo? station.

    From Kikugawa Station we took a 10 minute taxi ride up the hillside. The plains of Makinohara are some of the most prolific tea growing fields in all of Shizuoka. The train and taxi rides took us through rice fields and green tea covered hillsides. The sites were very beautiful and really reminded me of the Napa Valley in northern California.

    At Greenpia, you can take the self guided tour through the factory/museum and learn about the tea process. Plus you can can join in the fun of the tea harvest for around $8. Participants don the traditional looking hapi coats of the region’s tea pickers and are given baskets (with straps, so your hands remain free) to carry out with them to the tea fields. Pickers are given a brief introduction in Japanese before heading out to the bushes; for English speakers, a written translation is provided. All of your tea is bundled up at the end and given to you as a take-home gift (not sure if this allowed through US customs). The average picking time is about 20 minutes so there’s not too much time for younger pickers to get bored. This a great way to get outside and really experience the tea fields!

    If you have time, there is a restaurant onsite which specializes in a selection of menus revolving around tea-infused dishes.

    A gift shop with multiple packages of a variety of teas, free tea tasters and other gift items is great way to end the tour and get your souvenirs. There is also several varieties of green tea ice cream to take to with you as you hit the road.

    We spent about an hour or so here and headed back to Shimizu. Ask the gift shop to get you a taxi as there are few here. We took the JR Train from Kikugawa Station all the way back to Shimizu Station which took about 55 minutes and cost around $8. Note: The train from Kikugawa doesn't takes you all the way to Shimizu and you have to transfer to another platform at Rokugo? station.
