The "Bekku no Tanada" rice terraces, located in the mountains at an altitude of about 400m in Yabu City, Hyogo Prefecture, are beautiful rice terraces that have been selected as one of the "100 Best Rice Terraces in Japan" and are a beautiful area that retains the original Japanese landscape. Approximately 130 to 180 rice fields built on steep slopes are lined up like giant stairs, and the majestic and delicate scenery fascinates visitors. In particular, from late May to early June immediately after rice planting, the water-filled rice fields reflect the color of the sky, and the sparkling "water mirror" scenery is breathtaking.

It is also famous among photographers for being able to capture the "upside-down Mt. Hyonose" reflected in the rice fields in early May.

Another great attraction of the Bekku no Tanada rice terraces is that they show different expressions with each season. You can enjoy a variety of beautiful scenery throughout the year, from the fresh green of spring, the green of rice in summer, the golden ears of rice in autumn, and the snowy scenery in winter. Local residents are actively involved in preserving the rice terraces, and traditional farming methods have been passed down. There are also observation decks and photo spots, allowing you to experience Japan's rich nature and the history of people and nature coexisting together.

This is a hidden gem recommended for those who want to experience the collaboration of Japan's unspoiled landscapes and beautiful nature, enjoy photography, and experience rural life.
