The Toho-mura rice terraces are recognized as one of Japan’s top 100 most scenic landscapes. The sight becomes even more breathtaking when 1,000 handmade torches are lit, their warm glow reflecting off the freshly-planted terraces, creating a truly enchanting spectacle.
During the event, you can peruse local product stalls offering a variety of foods and souvenirs, enriching your visit with tastes and keepsakes from the region. There will also be various stage events to enjoy, including performances on the ocarina, a traditional wind instrument.
For safe navigation in areas that aren’t illuminated, it’s recommended to bring along a flashlight. Please note that for the preservation of these beautiful terraces, entering the rice paddies and footpaths is strictly prohibited. This event offers an extraordinary opportunity to witness a mesmerizing fusion of nature and traditional culture.
