While visiting Kochi in Shikoku, I made a special trip to walk around Nishijima Horticultural Park, and it was even more beautiful than I imagined! As soon as I entered the park, I was drawn in by all the flowers and greenery. The various plants are very well cared for, and the surroundings feel very pleasant, making it hard not to look around and take photos everywhere.

What I was looking forward to most this time was the strawberry-picking experience! Seeing all the bright red, plump, beautiful strawberries hanging from the vines was so soothing! I couldn’t wait to pick them and have a taste. The freshly picked strawberries were very fragrant, sweet, and delicious. Picking the fruit myself felt especially fun and added a little extra enjoyment to the trip.

Besides the lovely strawberries, the flowers and plants throughout the park are also worth taking the time to appreciate. The whole place is filled with floral scents and greenery, making it very relaxing to stroll around.

One of the things I was most looking forward to on my trip to Shikoku was strawberry picking at Nishijima Horticultural Park. Unfortunately, there weren’t enough strawberries that day, so they couldn’t open it for picking. I was a little disappointed.

But I changed gears and tried their super popular melon ice cream instead. It was rich, sweet, and so refreshing—a nice little unexpected surprise! I also bought a small box of fresh strawberries to enjoy back at the hotel. Each one was bright red, plump, fragrant, sweet-tart, and juicy. Seriously delicious.

Even though I didn’t get to pick strawberries myself this time, it still became a different kind of lovely travel memory. I’m looking forward to trying again next time!
