Notsuharu Terraced Rice Fields, spreading over the mountain surface of the Notsuharu district of Oita City, is a supreme original landscape spot where the artistic beauty woven by endless layers of beautiful rice field curves breathes the wisdom of traditional Japanese agriculture. The contrast between the terraced rice fields changing expressions in each season shows a perfect traditional Japanese harmony, and especially in spring, when water is filled, the sunset reflects on the water surface to make the entire terraced fields shine in golden colors, granting a mysterious, words-defying beauty that deeply shakes global travelers' souls. Touching the wisdom and丁寧(careful) lifestyle尊(reverence) of people who brought rich harvests while respecting the great nature topography is moving. It is optimal for a hideaway wellness retreat.
