The freshly picked taste of Fukuoka's pride, "Amaou" strawberries is a treat - one bite and the sweet juice spreads throughout your mouth. This is a highly popular annual package with many returning guests.
Fukuoka Prefecture's Pride: "Amaou"
Fukuoka Prefecture ranks second nationally in strawberry production. In 2003, full-scale sales began, and this marks the 23rd year. Among them, the branded strawberry "Amaou," characterized by its large size and rich sweetness, was named from the initials of "akai" (red), "marui" (round), "ookii" (large), and "umai" (delicious). While it's called the "king of strawberries," it's not actually "Amaoh" (Sweet King) as one might imagine.
Weekday-Only! Amaou Strawberry Picking Accommodation Package
