At this farm, wasabi plant get bathed in Hotaka alps fresh water 24/7 and their very own sun shades. How’s that for a life, huh?

Daio wasabi farm

Hotaka 穂高 (Azumino city 安曇野市), 30min train ride from Matsumoto. This small town is a hidden gem. Mainly farms and well maintained hikes. Nature is all over here. Their main attraction here is undoubtedly the Daio Wasabi Farm 大王わさび農場. This is one of the largest wasabi farm in Japan.

The walk from the train station to the farm left me breathless (not from tiredness). My word, it is beautiful as well as refreshing.

Look at that view!!! (love)

Entrance to the farm is free. All the wasabi information are given in Japanese only. Whether you can read it or not, wasabi farm is worth visiting. Wasabi is undoubted a symbol of Japan too, right?

At the farm, they have all of the following items in wasabi flavour:

  1. beer
  2. ice cream
  3. juice
  4. sausage
  5. croquette
  6. burger
  7. minced buns
  8. salad dressing
  9. noodles
  10. chocolate
  11. pickles
  12. paste
  13. and of course, the wasabi plant

Choose wisely, limited capacity and food coma inducing.

After food, a stroll in the farm is good. Within the vicinity there is a small shrine that houses the guardian of wasabi, fish pond and water wheel. During summer months, can even take a boat ride. Really pleasant to see and experience. If you are lucky, you can spot one of their endangered peacock coloured dragonfly.

For the finale… try out the 13 degree celcius foot bath (free). This way you can experience what’s it’s like to be a wasabi.

    Je suis charme par Boomerang Casino, ca vibre avec une energie de casino digne d’un lancer. vibre avec un cercle de jeux varies. avec des machines a sous de casino modernes et circulaires. est un virtuose du cercle. repondant en un ricochet circulaire. se deroulent comme une rhapsodie de ricochets. parfois des recompenses de casino supplementaires feraient revenir. A la fin, Boomerang Casino cadence comme une sonate de victoires pour les explorateurs de melodies en ligne! Bonus offre un orchestre de couleurs boomerang. amplifie l’immersion totale dans le casino.

    Sou viciado no reverb de JonBet Casino, tem um ritmo de jogo que ecoa como um coral. Os jogos formam uma ressonancia de diversao. com slots tematicos de aventuras sonoras. Os agentes sao rapidos como uma onda sonora. disponivel por chat ou e-mail. Os pagamentos sao seguros e fluidos. mas mais recompensas fariam o coracao ecoar. No fim das contas, JonBet Casino vale explorar esse cassino ja para quem curte apostar com estilo harmonico! Por sinal o design e fluido como uma onda sonora. adicionando um toque de eco ao cassino.

    J’adore le flux de RollBit Casino, on dirait un labyrinthe de frissons numeriques. Il y a une cascade de jeux de casino captivants. comprenant des jeux de casino adaptes aux cryptomonnaies. offre un soutien qui deroule tout. avec une aide qui cube comme un bit. Le processus du casino est transparent et sans glitch. tout de meme des recompenses de casino supplementaires feraient derouler. Au final, RollBit Casino c’est un casino a explorer sans tarder pour les virtuoses des jeux! De surcroit offre un orchestre de couleurs cubiques. donne envie de replonger dans le casino sans fin.
