Izu Wasavisitor Center

The Izu Wasavisitor Center opened in April 2024 as a hub for disseminating information and interacting with people about Izu wasabi. It has three main functions: Wasabi Museum: Using videos and graphic panels, it explains the history of Izu wasabi cultivation, the reasons for its high quality, and why "Traditional Cultivation of Shizuoka Water Wasabi" is recognized as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. Regional Tourism Information: It provides guidelines and precautions for visiting wasabi fields, and warns that there are no toilets or waste disposal facilities. It also introduces places and restaurants where you can purchase wasabi-related products. Wasabi Tasting Experience: You can compare the taste of raw wasabi with that of tubed wasabi. You can experience the aroma, color, and refreshing spiciness of raw wasabi.
