    Nagano Pref. Uedashi Tonoshiro
    "An area of terraced rice fields sprawling at the foot of mountains in the Tonoshiro area in Ueda City. The fields were cultivated between the Genroku and Meiji periods (1688-1912). After being selected as one of the 100 most beautiful rice terrace areas in Japan, conservation activities were initiated to preserve the fields. School extracurricular activity programs are conducted in the area as well as programs such as the ""Terrace Rice Owner System"" and ""Sake Rice Owner System"" which allow regular people to experience the entire rice production process from planting to harvesting and receive a bag of rice they made, or a bottle of sake created from the rice they harvested."

    青空の下、美しい棚田に感動しました。 ドライブ途中に立ち寄りましたが、稲刈り前の時期も良かったです。 見学には協力金100円必要。

Nagano Areas

around-area-map

Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
