Strawberry Picking in Saitama Prefecture

My Ome Ladies consist of 3 amazing, Japanese women who live in Ome, hence the name Ome Ladies. I teach English to these lovely ladies every Thursday, and they often take me on interesting field trips around Tokyo and the surrounding areas.

Two weeks ago, they took Jude and I strawberry picking. Around Japan you can find large greenhouses filled with strawberry plants. It was a unique opportunity to see how strawberries are grown in Japan.

We had an enjoyable time and stuffed ourselves silly with strawberries. They were delicious!
