Begin your tour with a meet and greet at Nunoya Ryokan in Matsumoto, or get picked up from another location in central Matsumoto. Make your way to Azumino and start with a proper greeting at the beautiful Hotaka Shrine.

Then, rent a bicycle and visit Japan's largest wasabi farm. Learn about how fresh wasabi is produced and try some wasabi soft-serve ice cream.

For lunch, enjoy “ten-zaru soba,” the quintessential meal for this area. Next, head to Ikeda Town and have a quick sake tasting session at a sake brewery that was established in 1898.

Finish the tour at a local foot onsen (hot spring) for some foot rejuvenation and relaxation.
