It is a terraced rice field in Wakayama Prefecture, "Aragi Island" quietly waiting for spring.

Rice fields in Niimi City, Okayama Prefecture. It is not rezoned, and it is not possible to mow all of it with a combine, so I mow it by hand. The children also mobilize to harvest rice with all three generations of relatives. It is also accustomed to use a sickle to reap, and two bunches are reaped in one pull. The harvested rice is bundled up and hung on a bamboo pole. The children are smiling and happily helping from beginning to end. Rice, delicious! And I eat a lot. Along with the scenery, I would like to preserve this traditional culture.

The golden rice terraces that make you feel the arrival of autumn are just about to be harvested. This is a terraced rice field protected in an area called "Kitaura Safety Temple" that spreads out in the mountainous area of Oga City, Akita Prefecture. Beyond the terraced rice fields, you can see the mountains of the "Three Mountains of Oga (Mayama, Motoyama, and Mt. Momu)", and clean spring water flows from the mountains, moistening the terraced rice fields and producing delicious rice. I'm looking forward to the delicious rice~.

The wheat harvest has begun, and wheat culm rolls can be seen all over the fields. This colo-colo will be a bed for cows! The scenery typical of Hokkaido Tokachi spreads out. * It is an important field of farmers. Please do not go inside.

At the beginning of June, the still lush wheat fields turn golden and the harvest is about to begin. It is the largest producer of wheat Otofuke in Japan. In the field after harvesting, barley culm rolls (which become beds for cows) are ready. The harvested wheat is transformed into delicious bread and udon noodles. There are many delicious bakeries and cake shops in Tokachi. The price is also very reasonable, with bread in the 100 yen range and cake in the 200 yen range. When you see the crops that are actually grown in this way, you develop a sense of gratitude for what you eat.

★ Dad, a lot of memories, thank you ★ one when I took a walk on the rice field road and went on a date

Otofuke ran the melody line! However, it does not mean that music is played. (I thought ? so at first.) It is the name of the town road connecting Tokachigawa Onsen and the city of Otofuke, and is named after the "sound" of "Otofuke". There are many lovely scenery, such as the Otofuke countryside, the straight road leading to the mountain range, and the sunflower fields in autumn. With a total length of about 15 km, it is a very pleasant road to drive or cycle! There are ups and downs, so electric assist is recommended for bicycles. The Tourism Association offers assisted bicycles! Please run ♬ the Otofuke melody line. ⛔ Please do not enter the fields.

Before rice planting, clear skies, and no wind, you can see the splendid water mirror of Mt. Fuji in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture. A luxurious sight for only a short time until the wind begins to blow.
