About this tour
When Noah from our team tried this combo tour, we started at a strawberry farm near Mt Fuji where you get 30 minutes of all-you-can-eat picking across several varieties, then headed down to a ski resort at Fuji's base for a snow experience. The farm operates late December through March, so timing matters if you're in Tokyo with kids. The whole thing runs about 10 hours with hotel pickups, a private van with snow tyres, and a photographer guide included. It's the kind of thing that feels designed for families wanting to tick two very different boxes in one day.
Highlights
- All-you-can-eat strawberry picking for 30 minutes across multiple Japanese cultivars
- Private van with snow tyres handles the journey and snowy conditions
- First-time snow experience for guests unfamiliar with winter weather
- Safe, designated kids' playground at the ski resort base
- Rental ski gear and instructors available if you want to actually ski
- Professional photographer guide documents the day
- Hotel pickup and drop-off included in the price
What to expect
You'll start with hotel pickup in the morning and head to a strawberry farm where the growing happens indoors under careful conditions. Thirty minutes might sound short, but it's generous for picking and tasting — you'll sample different varieties and eat what you pick. The vibe is relaxed and family-friendly, with other visitors around but nothing chaotic.
After that, the van takes you down to Fuji's ski resort. If snow experience is your goal and you've never seen it properly, this hits that mark — there's space to just play, build things, and get the feel of it. If you want to actually ski, rental gear and lessons are there. The kids' playground keeps younger ones safe. Noah's read: it works well as a novelty tour, but don't expect a deep snow adventure or serious skiing tuition. Weather is the biggest wildcard — bad days here genuinely ruin the experience.

Good to know
Families with young kids who want a mix of picking and winter play will find real value here. The private setup means no rushing through the farm or wrestling crowds at the resort. Having a photographer guide is handy if you want decent photos without asking other tourists. The van with winter tyres removes stress from driving on icy roads yourself.
Lunch isn't included, so budget for that separately or bring food. Bad weather — rain, heavy snow, or poor visibility — genuinely limits what you can do. The 30-minute picking window is short if you're slow or thorough. You must bring your own gloves (no rental). Winter fitness demands are moderate, but prams and strollers work fine. Late December through March only. Wheelchair access exists, but snowy, uneven terrain at the resort may pose challenges.
Group is private (your party only). Infant seats available; kids can use prams. Bring gloves, warm layers, and waterproof gear. Hotel transfers included; lunch, drinks, and tips aren't. Check weather forecasts before booking.
