Maruyama Senmaida

A beautiful traditional terraced rice field. Come here in April-May to see the planting season. Come in June/July/August to see the rice fields in full growth and come in the autumn to see the harvesting. There are a few places to park your car here but not many so it may be difficult to park. I recommend parking elsewhere and walking. There is a lovely hike nearby where from the top of the mountain you get a great view of the rice fields.

Went to see the Maruyama Senmaida rice terraces. Absolutely incomparable views, unforgettable experience! The hills are cut into terraces, fill them with rainwater, and plant paddy (rice). As scenic as it can get, when the coloured clouds and sun is also reflected from the water filled terraces; the sight offers great opportunities to the avid photographers or even amateurs. The landscape changes throughout the year, from the beginning of planting season where the terraces are water filled, then to the fields of green of the young rice plants growing up, and finally ripening to golden hues at harvest. These rice terraces are absolutely stunning! Definitely worth the trip out there.

Beautiful!! If you like photography, better you come early, because everybody booked place for take a good view. And also few area parking. People used parked the car in the side the road.

Just a wonderful place - super quiet, super beautiful 😎

A beautiful Terrance field that has numerous steps. Came at the wrong season but I can imagine if you time it right, it's an amazing view up here at the viewpoint.
