Like a little spice?

The Wasabi 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.

Wasabi is an essential element in Japanese cooking, but a lot of people, even many Japanese, are not aware of where it comes from. Take a stroll through the Wasabi fields and discover all the secrets of the Wasabi!

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!

Wasabi Ice Cream--who knew? - We had a relaxing and informative afternoon exploring the Wasabi Farm with Naomi. She was a great guide who spoke excellent English (she was an English teacher in her prior life) and provided insights into not only all-things-wasabi, but also the surrounding region and Japanese culture in general. If you are a foodie interested in a deeper dive into the food you consume, or just want a slightly less standard experience while vacationing in Japan, I highly recommend taking this tour with Naomi. And try the wasabi ice cream--it's subtle and surprisingly delicious!

Great hosts - This was a great tour! Our train was cancelled from Nagano, so we had to take the bus to get to Matsumoto. Sylvain and Carol were extremely gracious and stayed an extra hour so that they could give us the full tour. We had some great wasabi ice cream and learned a lot about wasabi! Highly recommend!

Don’t waste your money - Very disappointed. Very little discussion about wasabi. The farm itself is free to visit so I had an expectation that a paid tour would involve so behind the scenes access that the general public who visit for free don’t get. I would recommend the farm but not the tour. The guide also had little knowledge of wasabi, and spent most of the time talking about herself (from Canada, now lives in Japan for 30 years, karate instructor, English teacher now tour guide, married a Japanese man, adopted a Japanese child, lives in the foothills of a mountain) very disappointing!
