Chigasaki Southern C

Chigasaki Southern C

Chigasaki Southern C is the symbol of Southern Beach Chigasaki and has even fronted the Southern All Stars CD cover. This place is famous as a matchmaking (En-musubi) spot as when one stands at the right of the C, filling the gap in “C”, a circle (“En” in Japanese) will be formed, essentially tying fates (also “En” in Japanese) together. It is also famous for being a photo spot in Chigasaki where you can snap a shot with the Eboshi Rock in the middle of the C.

Sano Agritourism Farm ‘Agritown’

Sano Agritourism Farm ‘Agritown’

Sano Agritourism Farm ‘Agritown’ is a complex that houses a farm offering a harvest experience, farmer’s market, flower shop, and gelateria. You can enjoy a farm experience throughout the year including strawberry, blueberry, and peach picking, as well as harvesting of potatoes, peanuts, and edamame. For strawberry picking, you will choose one favorite breed to pick from three: the new breed Tochi-Aika, always popular Tochiotome, and the three-star breed Skyberry. Since the farm grows strawberries on raised beds, there is no need to crouch to pick them, making the farm popular among people in a wheelchair or pushing a stroller. The farmer’s market also has a section devoted to strawberry products including a wide variety of jams and confectionery.

Midori Nouen

Midori Nouen

All staff at Midori Nouen love farming, want to make farming more fun, and believe in the power of farming. They grow strawberries of the Tochiotome and Tochi-Aika breeds, as well as asparagus and buckwheat. They prepare the soil using fully matured compost called Midori Compost and locally produced powder bamboo compost. The temperature around the farm fluctuates a lot and sometimes goes down to -8ºC. This makes vegetables grow while increasing their sweetness and tastiness in order to withstand the cold. Midori Nouen’s Tochi-Aika received the gold prize at the First National Strawberry Awards hosted by the Japan Vegetable Sommelier Association. At the shop on the farm, you can purchase not only strawberries but also processed products including strawberry jam, strawberry puree, and popcorn.

Kanuma Kumiko making Experience

Kanuma Kumiko making Experience

Experience the traditional wood-making craft of Kumiko in Kanuma. Kanuma Kumiko, designs made with strips of wood, is found in a traditional Japanese room. Because no nails are used in assembling the 1-5mm strips of wood which make up various designs, it requires traditional and very delicate skills. Visitors can try their hand at making coasters while learning about the techniques and designs of Kanuma Kumiko used mainly for Shoji (traditional Japanese screens and sliding doors) and interior furnitures.
