Rice fields stacked in many layers along the mountain surface shine in vivid green or golden color depending on the season, making you feel the origin of Japan's rural landscape. The scenery, which gives overwhelming peace to visitors, is also a proof of the history in which Japan's great nature and people have lived in harmony. The state of the terraced rice fields that change expressions with the transition of the seasons is very photogenic, and it is recommended for those who want to stroll quietly over time.
