strawberry farm nearby Tokyo

I intend to visit Tokyo in later Mar2008.

Where can I find strawberry farms outside Tokyo. Hope there is hyperlink in English (preferably) if not then in Japanese?

I want to visit, eat and buy strawberries.

Thanks.

March seems early to me. I usually buy in-season strawbs at Nara around Golden week, the end of April.

But its in Japanese only.

that is quite a link!

And it seems there are strawberries at that time ....

Thanks to ALL who have contributed suggestions to this visit.

I am very surprised to receive such fast and many responses. Keep sending in...
I will definitely use it.
Thanks again!

I'll be in Tokyo in late January and I am interested in strawberry picking too. I follow previous links leading to Kawatsura strawberry farm in Chiba as example, it takes over one hour by express train and need to take a taxi to get there. However, the picking time allowed is only 30 minutes. The total cost in transportation is ��3430 one way plus ��1500 admission. I doubt if this is worthwhile.

Grateful for anyone who can provide any farms that are closer to Tokyo city so that much time is saved in transportation.

Koonichiwa... we are planning to go Tokyo to spend xmas this year n would like to visit a strawberry farm.

Pls advise if there is any farm (nearby Tokyo) which will open in end December.

I would like to know the exact location, access, cost (for adults n a child aged 4), operation time.

Arigato.
