Akira Kondo
(Higashi-Miyoshi Town, Ichigo House Farm Inn)

Higashi-Miyoshi is a rare region of Japan where strawberries can be harvested year-round in greenhouses in the mountains and plains. In addition to strawberries, Akira Kondo grows onions in the mountain fields where his home is located. He stated that a well-drained field on a slope produces good-quality onions.

In the fields, kaya is used as a fertilizer.

Additionally, in the plain area of Miyoshi City, he owns a greenhouse for growing strawberries, where he also offers the strawberry-picking experience to customers.

His son, Masashi, serves konjac made from homemade Konjac bulbs to customers. Thinly sliced Konjac is relished with yuzu ponzu (citrus juice and vinegar).

Akira runs a farmers’ inn where visitors can experience mountain agriculture.
