The Izu Wasavisitor Center opened in Izu City in April 2024. It is a facility developed with the aim of disseminating various information about Izu wasabi and promoting interaction with the local community. Although the center is small, it is packed with information, including panel displays about the history and cultivation methods of wasabi cultivation.

Aside of the history of Izu wasabi, learn about the effects of wasabi and experimental data that are also on display in detail, making it very interesting. There are also quizzes and other activities to help children have fun in the museum (you can receive a wasabi sticker if you answer the quiz).

You can also view VR images of wasabi fields, making you feel as if you are actually visiting a wasabi field. Furthermore, for those who have never tried fresh wasabi, try out the taste comparison experience, and feel for yourself the differences between the fresh Izu wasabi and the tubed wasabi you usually eat. There are also facilities nearby where you can purchase fresh wasabi, so please visit them as well.
