Kitada Farm’s Ichigo no Marche
The main varieties grown here include Akihime, known for its sweetness and mild acidity, and Benihoppe, appreciated for its balanced sweet-and-tart flavor and rich aroma. Depending on the season, Saitama’s original varieties—such as Amarin, Kaorin, and Benitama—are also available. Among them, Amarin is especially well regarded for its deep, concentrated sweetness and is one of the most popular varieties in the region.
Strawberry picking is offered from January to May and follows a 30‑minute all‑you‑can‑eat format. Many visitors comment that the strawberries are so sweet they don’t even need condensed milk, making the farm a favorite destination for families and couples alike.

This is a small memory from a quiet spring afternoon.
Tokorozawa Kitada Farm’s “Ichigo no Marche,” located in Shimotomi, Tokorozawa, is a popular strawberry-picking spot operated by a historic farm with a 400-year legacy.
Opened to the public in 2014, the facility features elevated cultivation beds that make picking easy for both children and adults. Its barrier-free design also ensures that visitors using strollers or wheelchairs can enjoy the experience comfortably. Classical music plays throughout the greenhouse, and spacious rest areas allow guests to relax while savoring freshly picked strawberries.

ReplyDelete面白く拝見しました。 近年の画像処理の傾向が如実に出ていますね。
綺麗だけど絵の様 が分かって参考になります。
Looks delicious! :)
I enjoyed looking these. It clearly shows the recent trends in image processing.
It's beautiful and it's also clear just like as a painting but a bit different of photos. they are helpful.
おっしゃる通りiPhoneの写真は綺麗なのですが、絵の様になる傾向がありますよね。初期のSony αの写真もそれに似ていて少し違和感を感じた事があります。昨日は家族でのイチゴ狩りだったので一眼レフを持ってのいちご狩りは野暮だと思いiPhoneで撮りました。違いがお分かりになり流石ですね。
ReplyDeleteAs you mentioned, photos taken with an iPhone are certainly very beautiful, although they do tend to have a somewhat painterly look. I recall having a similar impression with images from the early Sony α cameras, and I remember feeling a slight sense of unfamiliarity at the time.
Yesterday, my family and I went strawberry picking together, and I felt that bringing a DSLR along would have been a bit out of place. For that reason, I chose to take the photos with my iPhone instead. The fact that you were able to notice the difference is truly impressive.
