    "A three-minute walk from the ""Shimoichi"" bus stop on the Uno Bus leaving from JR Seto Station. This tourist farm's facilities include strawberry picking patches, a large dog park, and barbecue ground. The farm's strawberry picking greenhouses are some of the largest in the prefecture; using raised planters, customers can pick strawberries without bending over and eat and compare up to six different varieties of strawberries. The farm is also designed to accommodate wheelchair and stroller users. The farm's market sells fresh vegetables and fruit grown organically and without the use of agricultural chemicals, as well as a wide variety of foods. The market also sells takeout desserts and gardening supplies and is adjoined by a spacious barbecue ground."

    Okayama Setouchi-shi Okucho

    宿ではありますが、食事の利用もできます。 敷地内にはエミューの檻があり、以前に脱走騒ぎもありましたが、基本的には大人しくて可愛い大型の鳥です。 これを見て、少し坂を下りて片上湾の景色を見るだけだとしても、十分にこの宿の利用価値があります。

Okayama Areas

around-area-map

Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
