Kagoshima Ichikikushikino-shi Ozato 648

This strawberry farm is located about a seven-minute drive from Ichiki Station. The farm grows two types of strawberries; Saga Honoka, which have little sourness and high sugar content, and Benihoppe, which are characterized by their juiciness. The farm grows their strawberries in carefully-cultivated soil rather than in a more easily managed hydroponic medium in order to maximize their fragrance and richness of their strawberries. Thanks to the farm's efforts to use as little agrochemicals as possible, it is possible to eat their strawberries without needing to wash them first.

いちご狩りに行きました。3連休最終日で前日から天気が良くて絶好のいちご狩り日和でした。ほかの方も同様な考えで多くの家族連れがいました。午前中だったのでまだ大きくて美味しそういちごを詰むことができました。

電話予約して現地に到着したら、何と「フリー客が先に来たので出港したので戻ってから出港となるので待ってくれ」とのこと。電話予約のときに名前も電話番号も聞かれなかったので、なんていいかげんなんだろうと思ったが、予約客を無視する姿勢に唖然。この船に乗るときには「予約を無視して出港したりしないでしょうね」と確認してからがいいです。常識が通用しない世界なので。

Kagoshima Areas

Over 100 active volcanoes across Kagoshima make it one of the Japan's most exciting prefectures. The prefectural capital, Kagoshima city, looks out to one of the prefecture’s most spectacular volcanoes, Sakurajima, an island of its own that can be visited and seen close up or admired from afar, with the promise of breathtaking sunsets complete with frequent puffs of smoke and ash. Down the Satsuma Peninsula, the most southerly part of mainland Japan, waterfalls, sand onsen, and fascinating history await, while Kagoshima's abundance of satsuma imo (sweet potato) provide a wholesome snack as well as one of Japan's favourite drinks - shochu.
