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.

    J’apprecie enormement 7BitCasino, on dirait une experience de jeu electrisante. La selection de jeux est colossale, comprenant plus de 5 000 jeux, dont 4 000 adaptes aux cryptomonnaies. Les agents sont disponibles 24/7, garantissant une aide immediate via chat en direct ou email. Les transactions en cryptomonnaies sont instantanees, bien que les bonus pourraient etre plus reguliers, ou des promotions hebdomadaires plus frequentes. Dans l’ensemble, 7BitCasino est une plateforme d’exception pour ceux qui aiment parier avec des cryptomonnaies ! Notons egalement que la navigation est intuitive et rapide, ajoute une touche de raffinement a l’experience.

    Je suis accro a Celsius Casino, il propose une aventure de casino qui fait monter la temperature. Il y a un torrent de jeux de casino captivants, proposant des slots de casino a theme volcanique. Le service client du casino est une torche eclatante, joignable par chat ou email. Les paiements du casino sont surs et fluides, parfois des bonus de casino plus frequents seraient torrides. Globalement, Celsius Casino promet un divertissement de casino brulant pour ceux qui cherchent l’adrenaline du casino ! En plus la plateforme du casino brille par son style flamboyant, ajoute une touche de chaleur au casino.

    J’apprecie enormement Betsson Casino, on dirait une experience de jeu electrisante. Il y a une profusion de jeux varies, incluant des slots de derniere generation comme Starburst. Le personnel offre un accompagnement de qualite via email ou telephone, avec un suivi efficace. Les transactions sont protegees par un cryptage SSL 128 bits, bien que j’aimerais plus de promotions regulieres. Dans l’ensemble, Betsson Casino est une plateforme d’exception pour les amateurs de casino en ligne ! Par ailleurs la navigation est rapide sur mobile via l’application iOS/Android, ce qui amplifie le plaisir de jouer.

    Detivetra Обучение кайтсерфингу – это процесс приобретения навыков управления кайтом и доской на воде, а также усвоения знаний о ветре, технике безопасности и правилах поведения на воде. Как правило, обучение кайтсерфингу начинается с занятий на суше, где новички знакомятся с кайтом и учатся им управлять. Затем обучение продолжается в воде, где ученики осваивают навыки старта, движения и контроля доски. Кайтсерфинг требует хорошей координации, физической подготовки и соблюдения правил безопасности.
