[Tokyo] Strawberry picking even on rainy days: Fuchu Strawberry Picking Farm is close to the station and keeps your feet clean

Why is strawberry picking a good idea on a rainy day in Tokyo?

You may think of strawberry picking as an outdoor activity for sunny days. In fact, it takes place inside greenhouses with a roof.

Once you're inside, you're sheltered from the wind and rain, so it's a proper "indoor activity" you can enjoy comfortably without worrying about the weather. It's perfect for a rainy-day date or an outing with children who can't play outside.

Comfortable even in the rain: three reasons visitors choose Fuchu Strawberry Picking Farm

There are several farms in Tokyo, but we at Fuchu Strawberry Picking Farm have our own ways of making sure you can enjoy your visit with peace of mind, even on a rainy day.

1. Raised-bed growing keeps mud off your feet

What worries people most about a farm on a rainy day is getting their shoes and clothes muddy. At our farm, we use raised-bed growing, which means growing strawberries up high.
You don't touch the soil on the ground, so there's no need to worry about muddy footing. You can come in your favorite shoes and clothes with peace of mind.

2. Strollers and wheelchairs are welcome! Aisles wide enough to pass each other

The aisles in our greenhouses are designed to be wider than usual. You can move around smoothly with a stroller or wheelchair, and it's easy to pass other visitors.
On rainy days you tend to have more to carry, with umbrellas and towels, but with all this space you can pick strawberries slowly at your child's pace.

3. An 8-minute walk from Bubaigawara Station: easy to reach by train

On a rainy day, you want to keep the trip as short as possible. Our farm has excellent access, about an 8-minute walk from Bubaigawara Station on the Keio Line and JR Nambu Line!
It's also easy to reach from central Tokyo, and it's very popular as a strawberry picking spot you can reach by train, even if you don't have a car.
