Just when I thought Spring is approaching and I can finally rejoice in the nice springtime weather....
IT'S GONNA SNOW IN TOKYO! I hate the cold but I'm also excited about it!
In this happy post, you will hear all about my イチゴ狩り (Ichigo-gari - Strawberries-picking) experience!
It's STRAWBERRY SEASON! Last Saturday, me and my girlfriends S and J traveled all the way to Kanagawa prefecture for a taste of sweet Japanese strawberries! 
Rilakkuma is ready to go for イチゴ狩り too! 
1,500yen for 30 minutes of unlimited strawberries!
At Tsuikuhama farm, 3 hours away from where we stay in Tokyo. Tiring journey!
Our German friend S was down with influenza lately and we thought we had to cancel the trip. But fortunately she recovered in time and was ready to be out and about for some fresh Kanagawa air! 
Weather was great!
Weather was great! 
J, a very sweet Korean girl! 
Strawberries were planted in glasshouses like this and it was super warm inside! Like 30°C!
My heart-shaped strawberry and condensed milk!
A little piece of heaven.
Rows...
