Higashi Ushirobata Rice Terraces is a beautiful terraced rice field that has been selected as one of the "100 Best Rice Terraces in Japan" and spreads out against the backdrop of the Sea of ​​Japan. The landscape of overlapping rice terraces that lead to the sea like a giant staircase is loved by many people as an original Japanese landscape. In particular, from late May to early June, just after rice planting, the water-filled rice fields reflect the color of the sky and shine like a mirror.

The greatest attraction of these rice terraces is the beauty of the scenery at dusk. As the sun sets, the sky, sea, and rice fields are dyed orange and purple, creating a fantastic gradation. The sight of the setting sun reflected on the water is breathtaking, making it a great photogenic spot for camera enthusiasts. At night, the fishing lights of fishing boats are reflected on the surface of the rice terraces, creating a mysterious landscape that is different from the daytime.

[Useful points of concern]
To see the beautiful rice terrace scenery, it is best to choose the season, weather, and time of day carefully. There aren't many rice terraces, so the scenery isn't very impressive.
