While staying in Minamiboso, visit Hokoen for a unique cherry blossom viewing experience. The garden features around 60 cold cherry trees called “Gancho Sakura” that bloom in January-February, allowing visitors to enjoy an early cherry blossom season and attend the Cherry Blossom Festival in February. Hokoen is located on the Kurotaki water falls Course of the Wadaura Hiking Trail and is surrounded by other attractions, including a flower garden, the Choja River, and the Hamachidori no Uta Monument.
You’ll want something sweets to go with the beautiful blossoms, so how about trying some delicious, high-quality strawberries? Look no further than the farmers’ market! Their unique “elevated cultivation” system allows visitors to pick strawberries while standing, making the farm barrier-free and accessible to all. Plus, using rice husks and cedar bark instead of soil makes the strawberries resistant to bacteria and pests, and the lack of geothermal heat results in longer ripening and higher sugar content.
The farm also uses original organic fertilizers made from oyster shells, amino acids, and rice bran to produce safe and sweet strawberries. Located in the warm climate of the Boso Peninsula in Chiba Prefecture, the farm is human- and environment-friendly, and bees actively help pollinate the strawberries, ensuring top-quality fruit.
