Today we will be going to Naruto, a place famous for beaches and the Naruto whirlpools. But our agenda is for strawberries picking that one of our group members is interested in. The Naruto station is about 90 mins ride and costs 5000 yen per person.

Breakfast was at Soup Stock Tokyo, kinda like our Soup Spoon, but with much better ingredients like ginseng and lobster.

Upon reaching Naruto we took a taxi to Kawatusura Strawberry Farm. The entrance fee is 1000 yen and there is no time limit. However, they do not allow strawberries to be brought back.

After the strawberry farm, we just walked around Shibuya for the afternoon as we were to have dinner at Kichioji in the evening. I read on the internet that we could get A5 Matsuzuka beef at a cheaper price than usual at this place called Steak House Satou in Kichioji. We took some time to locate it as the map wasn't very clear. It turns out that it was only about 3 min walk. If you think you've gone too far, you probably have. Luckily, even though this was a sub-urb, the locals spoke english pretty well and directed us to the place.
We ordered the A5 Matsuzuka steak, which at 10,000 yen (roughly 155 SGD), would not be considered cheap. However, the prices outside were sure to be in the 200+ SGD region, so i had no hesitation in ordering this once in a lifetime steak.
The steak itself was more fat than meat, after it was cooked, it was very tender and dripping with flavor. Although I must admit i enjoyed the A4 Kobe beef i had in Hokkaido better. I must make a trip to Kobe one of these days.
