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.

Arai's Terraced Rice Fields in Ine Town, Kyoto PrefectureI really like the view from here, and I have visited many times in the past and been healed 😌

It is located in Aritagawa Town, Wakayama Prefecture, which was selected as one of the "100 Best Terraced Rice Fields in Japan" It is the autumn scenery of "Aragi Island". These rice terraces show various expressions throughout the four seasons. We especially recommend the terraced rice fields in the water mirror before rice planting, and the patchwork-like terraced rice fields during the autumn harvest season.

Original scenery of Japan Kamogawa City, Chiba Prefecture【Oyama Senmaida 🌾】 It is the closest terraced rice field from Tokyo, which has been selected as one of the 100 best terraced rice fields in Japan.

Terraced rice fields I took this photo because I thought I was very nostalgic for the scenery of rice harvesting and burning in the open. Location: Efu, Hino-gun, Tottori

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~.

Wheat harvesting has begun, and straw rolls can now be seen across the fields. These round bales will become beds for the cows! A landscape typical of Tokachi in Hokkaido stretches out. ※This is a farmer’s precious field. Please do not enter it.

At the beginning of June the wheat fields that were still green turn golden, and harvest is about to begin. Otofuke, Japan’s top wheat-producing town. After the harvest, straw rolls rise up in the fields to become beds for cows. The harvested wheat is reborn as delicious bread and udon. Tokachi is full of excellent bakeries and pastry shops. Prices are very reasonable, with bread in the 100-yen range and cakes in the 200-yen range. Seeing the crops being grown like this naturally brings a feeling of gratitude for the food we eat.

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

I rode along the Otofuke Melody Line! That doesn’t mean music plays along the road. (I thought so at first too 😊) The name belongs to a town road connecting TokachigawaOnsen and central Otofuke, and it was named after the “Oto” in Otofuke Town. You’ll find rural scenery typical of Otofuke, a straight road leading toward the mountain range, and sunflower fields in autumn—many lovely views. At about 15 km long, it’s a wonderful road for driving or cycling! Because there are ups and downs, an electric-assist bicycle is recommended for cycling. The tourism association provides assist bicycles! Be sure to try riding the Otofuke Melody Line♬ ⛔Please do not enter the fields.

This is a view that can be seen from Wakakusa Inari Shrine in Tome City, Miyagi Prefecture. It's a nondescript rural landscape, but the blue sky, green countryside, and clean air make this my favorite place.

Early Morning Hot Air Balloon Experience I took part in the hot air balloon experience run by Tokachi Nature Center! It was an anchored flight of about five minutes. The view from 30 meters up felt like a different world! The crisp early morning air was refreshing, and it felt truly wonderful.✨ The experience runs only in the early morning until December 10. For details, contact Tokachi Nature Center. Contact Tokachi Nature Center 0155-32-6116

Even though it was just June, the sunflowers 🌻 were 😆 in full bloom. This is my hometown and a secret spot 😊 for early-blooming sunflowers It was taken on Sunday evening, but there was no one and it was reserved.

In Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture, you can see Mt. Fuji reflected beautifully even after rice planting, but the picture is slightly distorted by the surface tension on the rice. After all, the aim is a short period before rice planting.

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.

The Tadami Line runs from Koide, Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture to Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture. Spring has finally arrived after a long winter. Reflected in the water mirror stretched over the rice fields, which can only be seen at this time of year, the local train heads to Aizu.

The five-storied pagoda, the symbol of Kibiji in Soja City, Okayama Prefecture, is also surrounded by very beautiful fresh greenery.
