Overview

This private experience centers on harvesting fresh shiitake mushrooms and enjoying an outdoor charcoal BBQ at a working mushroom farm near Narita Airport.

Before visiting the farm, pause briefly at Hiyodori-zaka, a historic bamboo-lined path once used by samurai. It offers a memorable glimpse of Sakura’s castle-town heritage without taking the focus away from the main experience.

At the farm, harvest your own shiitake mushrooms and grill them just minutes later. This hands-on farm-to-grill experience lets you enjoy the mushrooms at their freshest.

With an English-speaking local host and only your group participating, you can enjoy personal assistance and a relaxed atmosphere away from major tourist areas.

  • Mushrooms, BBQ food and drinks (pay on site)
  • Travel to/from Keisei-Sakura Station

What to expect

Pick fresh shiitake mushrooms and grill them over charcoal at Sakura Mushroom Farm, near Tokyo and Narita Airport. This private experience brings together hands-on harvesting, outdoor cooking, and a taste of local food culture.

Meet your English-speaking local host at Keisei-Sakura Station. Start with a brief visit to Hiyodori-zaka, a historic bamboo-lined path, before heading to the farm.

Learn how shiitake mushrooms are grown, then choose and pick the ones you would like to eat. At the farm shop, purchase your harvest and any meat, vegetables, or drinks for your BBQ. Staff prepare the charcoal grill, so you can enjoy cooking and tasting your freshly picked mushrooms in the open air.

The pleasure is in the whole process: discovering how mushrooms grow, picking them yourself, and enjoying their aroma and flavor straight from the grill.

This approximately three-hour experience starts and ends at Keisei-Sakura Station. Harvested mushrooms, other food, and drinks are paid for separately. Optional meet-and-assist by train from Narita Airport or a central Tokyo hotel is available for an additional fee and must be arranged in advance.
