    Wakayama Kinokawa Kishigawacho Nishiyama 1444
    This tourist strawberry farm is located about a 10-minute walk from Kanroji-Mae Station on the Wakayama Electric Railway Kishigawa Line. The farm utilizes rotating elevated planters to assure that their strawberries remain clean and free of dirt. These planters can be rotated into a position low enough to allow even small children to enjoy picking strawberries. The wheelchair-accessible farm grows three varieties of strawberry: Sachinoka, Benihoppe, and Marihime. Strawberry picking is offered by reservation from early January to mid-May. Guests can enjoy eating all the strawberries they can pick for 45 minutes and even make their own original strawberry parfait.

    From March to May, this place is suitable for harvesting a lot of fruit. I spent about 45 minutes here, not far from the train station. You can walk or use the bike to see the scenery along the way...

    Wakayama Pref. Hashimotoshi Shimizu 1342
    This farm is located a 15-minute drive from the Hashimoto Interchange on the Keinawa Expressway. It sells four kinds of seasonal fruit grown onsite, including pears, mandarin oranges, persimmons, and kiwis. A special attraction, which makes the orchard a popular stop for groups of hikers or families, is that visitors can pay to pick and eat as much fruit as they want. An especially popular option is a plan that offers all-you-can-eat mandarin oranges and persimmons. Kiwis cannot be eaten immediately after picking, so only picking is allowed (limited to ten kiwis per person).
