All you can eat strawberries & other pick your own...

Tsukuihama Tourist Farm

津久井浜観光農園

(Kanji sidebar: The 4th character you'll also recognize from Yokohama (横浜）and the last character is the one for "park" (take a look at the sign for Mikasa park outside Womble gate) except in this case it's an "agriculture park" or "plantation/farm")

If you live in Yokosuka eventually you'll hear about picking your own mikans (tangerines), sweet potatoes, and strawberries. For the strawberries, you can get 30 minutes inside of a greenhouse and eat all you can for about $16. The season is right now (December 20 to May 5), all you need to do is drive or take a train there.

If your thinking about getting strawberries, the season ends on May 5th 2013. There is a deal at the end of the season and you'll only pay 1000 Yen. The strawberries are smaller but just as sweet. Not sure when they start to reduce their prices, but I know that at least one week before (4/28) the price was reduced.

And some maps here too:

If you check the blog map, I've provided all the locations and highlighted the roads you'll take to get there. Start by getting on Hwy 134 heading south, southwest (getting that far is up to you). Once you get to Tsukuihama Station road, you'll turn right. The blog Google Map and street view do a real good job showing you the landmarks and the farm office where you'll make your first stop.
It's real easy to miss Tsukuihama Station road. When on 134, you'll pass an Eneos Gas station on your right. Shortly after that there will be a stoplight. That's where you want to turn right. At first you might think that you've made a mistake because the road is very narrow, but you're on the right track. The road is so narrow you may have to take turns with oncoming traffic. You'll pass the train station on the left and then keep winding up the hill. Keep your eye out for the colorful farm signs. They have the same color theme as the websites and the photo below.

You'll eventually come to an office (see the map) where you can stop and get directions depending on where you are going.

Up in this area the roads are very small, winding, and there are a lot of them. Don't panic if you get lost or end up at someone's house, just turn around and go back until you find a (slightly) bigger road and try again. It's all fun and part of the adventure.

Once you're at the greenhouse (just look at where other cars are parked and people are walking), you'll be given some sweetened condensed milk to dip your strawberries in and a place to put the stems. Start eating because you have 30 minutes and they have cameras to make sure you don't go a minute past. Just kidding, it's the honor system and truthfully, you probably will have had your fill long before the 30 minutes and after your 100th strawberry. The greenhouse was not that busy and definitely not over-picked. There were very ripe strawberries all over the place. The nice ladies running the place will be happy to refill your condensed milk.

For the train, you can take the Keikyu line toward Misakiguchi and get off at Tsukuihama Station. On weekends they have a bus that will take you to the farm but you may have to wait a few minutes for it. Walking is also an option if the weather is nice, but give yourselves about 30 minutes one way.

The view is great if you make it all the way to the top where the sweet potatoes are planted.
