Surrounded by Lake Kasumigaura and the Tone River, Inashiki is a "water village" characterized by vast rice paddies. The city is one of Japan's leading lotus root producers; in summer, the fields are covered in a dreamlike sea of lotus flowers. With ancient shrines and traces of Edo-period streetscapes, it is a place for quiet historical exploration. Inashiki offers a deep experience of Japan’s rich agricultural culture and waterside ecology.
