Japan Alps Cycling Tour - Daio Wasabi Farm

#MarchGoodPlaces2025
There is a Daio Wasabi Farm in Azumino City, Nagano Prefecture. The farm is located in the suburban town of Hotakahei and is the largest farm product in Japan. The farm has a historic and quaint waterwheel, especially the raft of the waterwheel is very eye-catching. The waterwheel is available throughout the spring and summer, and the mobile waterwheel is a popular photo spot for visitors to the farm.

You can rent a bicycle near Hotaka Station and go there. In addition to enjoying the pastoral scenery, you can also see the snow-covered Alpine peaks along the way while riding your bicycle. If it is the season for wasabi to grow, you will see wasabi all over the garden. We visited during the cherry blossom season, and the cherry blossoms along the way were in full bloom, welcoming us. It can make up for the slight disappointment of not seeing the garden full of wasabi.

Visitors can try wasabi-related foods such as wasabi soba, wasabi tempura, wasabi ice cream and wasabi beer to challenge and explore their taste buds.
