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.

    Acho simplesmente brabissimo PagolBet Casino, parece uma tempestade de diversao. O catalogo de jogos do cassino e uma explosao total, com caca-niqueis de cassino modernos e eletrizantes. O atendimento ao cliente do cassino e uma corrente de eficiencia, garantindo suporte de cassino direto e sem curto-circuito. Os saques no cassino sao velozes como um trovao, porem mais giros gratis no cassino seria uma loucura. Na real, PagolBet Casino e um cassino online que e um relampago de diversao para os amantes de cassinos online! Vale falar tambem a navegacao do cassino e facil como uma faisca, da um toque de voltagem braba ao cassino.

    Ich bin suchtig nach Lowen Play Casino, es ist ein Online-Casino, das wie ein Lowe brullt. Die Spielauswahl im Casino ist wie eine wilde Horde, mit Casino-Spielen, die fur Kryptowahrungen optimiert sind. Der Casino-Service ist zuverlassig und machtig, antwortet blitzschnell wie ein Lowenangriff. Der Casino-Prozess ist klar und ohne Fallen, ab und zu mehr regelma?ige Casino-Boni waren ein Volltreffer. Am Ende ist Lowen Play Casino ein Online-Casino, das die Savanne beherrscht fur Abenteurer im Casino! Und au?erdem die Casino-Navigation ist kinderleicht wie eine Fahrte, das Casino-Erlebnis total unbezahmbar macht.
