Iwafune Fruits Park | Strawberry & Grape Picking
"Iwafune Fruits Park" spreads across the hills of Iwafune-machi, Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture. As a tourist farm where you can enjoy seasonal fruit picking year-round — strawberries, blueberries, grapes, and pears — the park is loved as a "food and farming theme park." Next to the orchards are a farm market, gelato and snack corner, and bento and prepared-food corner — letting you enjoy freshly picked fruit and local vegetables all in one place.
Why We Love It
Strawberries, grapes, pears, blueberries. The reassuring feeling of "something is always in season here all year round" is wonderful! The vegetables at the direct outlet "Marche Iwafune" are fresh and affordable — at a quality that even locals come to shop. Stopping during a drive, eating handmade gelato while looking at the Sano and Tochigi mountains — the time spent here makes for the ultimate refreshing break.
PROFILE About the Company / Workshop
"Iwafune Fruits Park" is a tourist farm with orchards, greenhouses, a direct outlet, and dining corners spreading across approximately 7.7 ha of grounds. The park works on cultivating different fruits by season — strawberries, blueberries, grapes, pears, and more — creating a place where harvest experiences can be enjoyed year-round.
For fruit picking, you can meet various varieties by season — including representative Tochigi strawberries such as "Tochiotome," "Skyberry," and "Tochiaika," as well as Shine Muscat, Kyoho, and the brand pear "Nikkori." Through reservation-based all-you-can-eat plans and picking plans, enjoy "the deliciousness of freshly picked fruit" right on the spot.
The attached farm direct outlet "Marche Iwafune" stocks seasonal vegetables, fruits, and processed goods picked in the park and surrounding area. With "Regina" offering handmade gelato and the bento / prepared food corner "Ajisai," enjoying gourmet leveraging local ingredients is a unique pleasure here at Fruits Park.
Beyond family fruit picking, it's recommended to stop by during a drive or sightseeing trip and take home seasonal fruits and vegetables from the direct outlet. Through seasonal events and the "Fruits Club" email newsletter with special offers, the park is loved as a "food exchange hub" connecting the region with visitors.
