Introducing Hotaka
Not to be confused with Shin-Hotaka in Japan Alps National Park, Hotaka is home to Japan’s largest wasabi (Japanese horseradish) farm. It is an easy day trip from Matsumoto and a popular starting point for mountain hikes.

The tourist office (82-9363; 9am-5pm Apr-Nov, 10am-4pm Dec-Mar) and bicycle hire (per hr ¥200), the recommended way to get around, are outside the Hotaka station exit. Both have basic maps, and the tourist office has English-speaking staff.
