Hoshitoge Rice Terraces

1629 Views Posted on: 03/13/2023
 

“Water mirrors” are formed when light shines on the water in rice fields, attracting many photographers who wish to capture their beauty. If you visit in early mornings, you can sometimes see the fields covered in a shroud of mist. It’s like you’ve stepped into another planet.

The fields’ diverse scenery across the different seasons also attracts visitors, from vast greenery in summer to a blanket of snow in winter. You’ll find yourself wanting to come back again and again to see the many beautiful changing faces of the fields throughout the day - morning mist, sunset, and the starry night sky. The fields were also featured in the opening to the 2009 NHK historical drama "Tenchijin".
