Have ever seen real Wasabi? Discover the Japan’s largest Wasabi Farm!
Nagano Prefecture is the largest producer of wasabi in Japan. Home to many small family-tended plots dotted between the rice fields, rural Azumino – just outside of Matsumoto – also boasts Japan’s largest farm, Daio Wasabi Farm. The farm is a popular tourist friendly destination and is comprised of many large fields with a meticulously maintained network of small streams that constantly provides each wasabi plant with pure clean water.
Our tour includes a traditional lunch designed to highlight the flavor of real wasabi, served with other local food. Under the branding of “Shinshu” – the old name for Nagano Prefecture – you can enjoy our loved Shinshu soba, Shinshu miso and other tasty treats.
We recommend you try some of the many different Wasabi-flavored products during your visit, such as Wasabi ice cream, Wasabi beer, Wasabi sausages or even a Wasabi burger!

5.00This is such a cool and unique experience. We are foodies and like to cook and couldn’t pass up an experience that explored such an interesting ingredient and staple of Japanese food. The car was 15 acres and is one of the biggest producers of wasabi in Japan/world. The guide was very knowledgeable and guided us through this enormous farm efficiently. We got to see, taste and learn about wasabi. Definitely gave us new insights on Japanese cuisine and culture. We were staying in Nagano. But easily travelled to Akashina via train and went to farm via taxi. Highly recommend to friends and family when they come up this way. Would be a good experience in any weather.
Interesting tour with great guide

5.00Tom was a very nice guide, he took us to less known spots in the farm and also translated some of the main information in the farm's museum, which is mostly in Japanese. He was also very open to talk to us about Japanese culture and gave us great tips for our upcoming destinations in Japan, so we highly recommend this tour!
Great
