Azumino
The spring water in Azumino is so pure that wasabi (Japanese horseradish) can be cultivated. The specialty products nurtured by this famous water include soba noodles, vegetables, rice, wine, and many others. Azumino soba, in particular, is ideal for a soba (buckwheat noodles) tour, as there are many famous soba stores with long lines of customers. The view of the Northern Alps rising behind the rice paddies is spectacular, and the cafes and restaurants where visitors can enjoy the magnificent scenery are popular among women.
