Hiraishi Terraced Rice Fields, spreading over the peaceful mountain surface of Yufu 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. Natural topography is respected, and farmers have built stone walls to protect the terraces, creating a perfect Japanese harmony that deeply shakes global travelers' souls. 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. Away from urban noise, walking while breathing deeply in the peaceful breeze brings supreme healing, aligning your mind-body balance beautifully.
