3. 3.Arrive early in your time slot for the best berry selection and cooler temperatures, especially during summer blueberry season.
4. 4.The farm operates on a time-limited, all-you-can-eat basis during picking. Pace younger children so they don't fill up too quickly.

Weekday mornings are ideal to avoid crowds, especially during peak strawberry season (January to May). The farm is cooler and berries are more plentiful earlier in the day. Avoid weekends and Japanese national holidays when local families pack the farm.
