All About Strawberry Farm Haru in Osaka

Strawberry Farm Haru opened in January 2007 in Kishiwada, a city within the Osaka prefecture. The farm area and greenhouse comprise of 1,800 square meters. The farm elevates the strawberry beds in order the create cleaner floors and a more hygienic experience.

In 60 minutes, visitors can pick and eat as many strawberries as they like. The strawberries are of the Asuka Ruby variety which originates from the Nara prefecture. The variety is known to be smooth in texture and taste as well as juicy and sweet.

Aside from strawberries, you can also feast on everything in the Cafeteria Corner including cakes, ice cream, drinks, and toppings like condensed milk and chocolate sauce.

The farm has strict rules to follow which you are informed prior to starting your strawberry picking experience. Rules include not touching the strawberries unless they fall on the ground. You must only cut them with the scissors and have them gently fall into your cup. Do not cut the leaves or stems. Additionally, you cannot buy nor take home the strawberries you picked. You must only consume them within the greenhouse before your 60 minutes are up.

If you do wish to take home something from the farm, you can purchase souvenir products. If available, you can also buy packs or boxes of pre-packaged strawberries or even jars of homemade jam.
