Strawberry picking in Tsukuba


My friend told me very good strawberry picking spot.
The name is "Ichigo-ya tsukubane farm (いちご家 つくばねファーム) ". Map ....Go straight on Higashi odori (東大通り) to the north and turn left at the clean center iriguchi (クリーンセンター入口) traffic light. Then, there is the clean center on the right side, go straight still, and you can see the "ichigo(いちご)" flag, then turn left. You will find big plastic greenhouse on the right soon. When I picked strawbrry, I was surprised that the strawberries are very big and so sweet! The owner said there are 3 types of strawberries, Tochiotome(とちおとめ), Akihime(あきひめ), Benihoppe(紅ほっぺ). We enjoyed the difference of the taste. It is better to make an appointment before the picking, I recommend weekday or the morning of Saturday.
