Berry Spoon, located in Nakago Green Park in Kawanishi, is open for one month only during the summer. Around the cute kamaboko-shaped building are pesticide-free berry fields carefully cultivated by local mothers. Take part in a jam-making workshop using freshly picked berries to create your own one-of-a-kind berry jam! A coffee shop is also open inside the museum.
Enjoy ice cream, yogurt and cakes with fresh berry sauce.
“Berry Spoon”
Berry Spoon, a dream art orchard and work by artist, to the woods, was created at the 2003 Art Festival as an art project to create an orchard where people can get involved by growing berries. Its goal is a space where people can enjoy living nature. The orchard contains 30 varieties of berries from all around the world together with numerous other flowers, fruits, and leaves whose colors vary with seasons. The Berry House is equipped with information, pictures and books related to berries and provides a communication space for workshops and other events through the process from planting and processing berries to producing products made of berries. Here agriculture and art come together, creating a place where agriculture becomes a new type of culture.
