Meet Ken, the owner of Tanakaen.
About Tanakaen
Strawberry Farm in Chiba, Japan
Tanakaen is a fruit farm in Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture.
We started growing pears and grapes about 50 years ago, and in 2020 we opened our strawberry greenhouse.
We offer strawberry picking from late December to May of the following year. The owner, Ken, will warmly guide you.
We’re not fluent in English, but we’ll assist you using a translation app.
