Harvest Hill - Sakai

A great place to visit if you have children. Loads of activities to take part in and a nice organic supermarket as well as gift shops, bakery and cafes. Particularly beautiful during Fall.

Went here primarily for the strawberry picking experience, in which you had to reserve online in advance for. The meeting place for the picking was inside the park right at the entrance which means you have to pay the entrance fee of 900yen in addition to the 1600yen for the strawberry picking. The session i chose was just strawberry picking which starts at 10:45am and lasts until 12:30pm. There are other gourmet strawberry pickibg sessions which are at other times during the weekends where after the picking session you are taught to make something with the strawberries like a parfait, cookies, etc and take them home. Note for the picking part, this is all you can eat with in the timelimit, and you are not suppose to take the strawberries home.Harvest hill opens around 9 so if you arrive early you can walk around the park and partake in some rides, which really is enternaining if you have children anong your group. You can also shop around in the market outside of the park in the parking lot. At the beginning of the indicated time, you are escorted out of the park towards the strawberries which is a 10-15min walk from the entrance of the park, there are 3 kinds of strawberries and the sell a condensed milk bottle to dip the strawberries in for 200yen, If you are full you can leave anytime and go back to the park with the other half of the strawberry ticket you received upon arrival. There is not much to do around here, so i suggest you either make do with a day at the park pick strawberries, ride some rides(which cost extra per), enjoy the garden or leave right after picking to go do something else. It is about a 45min to 1hour trip from central osaka. From osaka station travel down to izumigaoka station and outside take bus number 25 or 25-1 directly to harvest hill. The cost of bus is 290yen one way and is every 20mins~

It's good place for children.

I went here with my wife for a date. It was a bit far to get to but the transport is easy to work out, simply a train and a bus that takes you directly to harvest hill. Entry wasn't expensive either, plus they have ticket deals at shinimamiya station which includes bus and train tickets, entry and a free small cheesecake. Buying the entry at shinimamiya makes it all slightly cheaper too. The attractions were fun too. I'd suggest this is a great place to bring kids, some of the attractions were too small for us.... But there's lots of things to do and it's a beautiful location.

surprisingly good. A lot of people out to see the cosmos; you are invited to cut 10cosmos stalks and take them home for just 300 yen. There are also paddle boats and a lot of dining areas. The Go-Karts looked like fun.

Went for the sunflowers because I saw the sunflowers at advertisement looks really beautiful. But when I arrived, all of the sunflowers seem wilt and not healthy at all. I feel very disappointed the moment I saw the sunflowers. Maybe the manager didn’t took care of the sunflowers properly I assume. Wasted ¥1000 for entrance fee to see wilt sunflowers. This place is a scam. Be careful of advertisement.

JA Market , love it :-) Seasonable Fresh vegetable and fruit . also groceries too .

Nice park but too expensive for a day visit. The entrance price is 1,000 yen for adults and 600 yen up to JH school students but that's just to enter, you have to pay extra for everything else it can become very expensive very quickly if you are a family of 4 or 5. World Ranch is better value for money. A yearly ticket is good value for money, I know people who have 1 and go there on a regular basis. The restaurants are nice with a great variety. There is an Italian, BBQ, German and others in there food court.
