Why we send people here

The sunny slopes below Kunozan are famous for ishigaki-ichigo — strawberries grown on stone-walled terraces facing the sea. In season (roughly winter to spring) the greenhouses along the Ichigo Line offer all-you-can-pick. A sweet, weather-proof stop that pairs naturally with the Kunozan/Nihondaira taxi loop.

Why it earns the hours
  • Works in the rain — useful at a port where Fuji hides 6 days in 10.
  • English: Limited.
Before you count on it
  • Roughly late Dec–May only. Check it against your call date.
  • Hours: Daytime, season only.
  • About 3 hr door to door — a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it.
  • Booking: Advisable in peak season.

Opening: Daytime, season only. Note: Roughly late Dec–May only. Cruise ships call on fixed days, so check the closed days above against your call date before you plan around it.

How much does Kunozan Strawberry Picking cost?

~¥1,800–2,200 (seasonal). Prices can change — reconfirm on the day.

Is Kunozan Strawberry Picking a good rainy-day option in Shimizu?
