All you can eat strawberries...hmm. That must be why the sign was in English. I'm actually trying to grow strawberries in a hanging basket on the front porch. At best, we may get one or two.
Love your photos! Can one save a leaf with writing on it? Or is that why you took a photo?
Thank goodness, it appears there is no shortage of ice cream in Japan!
