• Our soft serve ice cream made with freshly harvested strawberries is also very popular. It contains no additives and is a proud product made with 100% strawberries from our own garden. Although it's called soft serve ice cream, it has a texture similar to gelato made from shaved strawberries. We also recommend the "Awaji Milk Soft Serve," made with simple ingredients of Awaji Island milk and sugar beets, and the "Milk and Strawberry Mix Soft Serve," made with milk and strawberries. *Since both are additive-free, they melt easily, so we recommend purchasing them in cups on windy or warm days.
• 【play】
• After picking strawberries, you can enjoy interacting with the adorable animals kept in the Animal Park. We've added friendly ducks, fluffy rabbits, growing baby goats, and a friendly donkey to our collection. Enjoy some quality time interacting with animals you don't usually get to see. There's also a dog run, which is popular with guests with dogs. There are plenty of other attractions in the garden, so be sure to spend the whole day having fun.
