Ishigaki is the stone works that support the steep slopes. The Shimizu area, which faces the sea and cradled by the hills to block the cold north wind, was the first area in Japan to commercialize early harvest strawberries in Japan many years ago. The strawberries from this area are called Ishigaki strawberries - nothing to do with the Ishigaki Island of Okinawa, though people sometimes confuse them.
Anyway, the hothouses are naturally heated by the sun, fed by the mineral-rich ground water coming down the hills (just like the vineyards in Burgundy! ), and produce flavorful, firm strawberries that you will keep reaching for another one!
We went to Yamaroku farm, which gives your group a small hot house all to yourself. Wonderful friendly proprietors. Their homemade gelato is delicious, too.
I have gone strawberry picking in other areas but this was the best one for me. Highly recommended.
