2012.3.9

It was a cold rainy day.
We visited another roadside station, michi no eki (道の駅) where we could try strawberry picking. Strawberry picking is ichigo gari (イチゴ狩り) in Japanese.
They say because of the cold weather this winter made the strawberry grow slow. At that place strawberries were raised by water, I mean hydroculture.
We visited another strawberry farm where is the most popular around this area because you can try 5 different kinds of strawberries. There they are raise by soil. The size of the strawberries were quite different and tastes also different. I liked the latter one.
