Oura Terraced Rice Fields Observatory, located in Hizen Town, Karatsu City, is a superb view spot where the traditional Japanese landscape is condensed, offering an overlook of beautiful rice fields overlapping in multiple stairs against the backdrop of the blue ocean of Imari Bay. Especially during the water-filling season in spring, the sunset reflects on the water surface to make the entire terraced fields glow in golden colors, and its harmony with small islands floating in the sea fascinates travelers from all over the world with its breathtaking, mysterious beauty. You can feel with your skin the wisdom of people who have brought rich harvests by utilizing great nature's slopes and the nobility of careful living. Completely cut off from urban noise, it is ideal for a hideaway-like retreat to deeply heal your mind and body within the peaceful breeze.
