Maruyama Terraced Paddy Field is the name for well over 1,300 terraced paddies of all shapes and sizes carved into the hillside, making for very beautiful countryside scenery perfect for that photo and also hard to resist temptation in counting them all.
With views changing all year round, the terraced landscape is enjoyable during every season. In late spring when irrigation starts for planting, the fields alongside the sky, forest, and hills mirror each other in perfect harmony. In summer the growing rice is a sight for sore eyes, and autumn brings to light a golden yellow hue in the rice – contrasting with the beautiful greenery. With winter, you can enjoy the bare land and breathtaking atmosphere. Any season is perfect for you to sit back and relax while you enjoy a snack and drink by your side.
