The Daiō Wasabi Farm (大王わさび農場, Daiō Wasabi Nōjō) is a wasabi farm established in 1915^[1] and located in Azumino, Nagano Prefecture near the center of Honshū, the main island of Japan.^[2] It is a popular tourist spot due to its watermills and for the river that runs through it.^[2]

A restaurant offers wasabi-flavoured ice cream and other wasabi-themed products.^[1]

Outside Japan, the site is best known for its appearance in Akira Kurosawa's 1990 film Dreams during the film's final chapter, named "Village of the Watermills".^[2]

Daiō is one of Japan's largest farms—and its largest wasabi farm—covering 15 hectares.^[2]^[3]
