Each year, intricate designs are created in the expansive rice paddies at the foothills using red rice stalks that turn a vivid hue. The optimal viewing time is around 5 PM on clear days when the setting sun reflects off the red rice, highlighting its natural beauty. The festival offers more than just visuals; visitors can also participate in a quiz rally and enjoy freshly-pounded mochi for sale (available only on the 16th). Experience this unique blend of agriculture and art in the stunning landscape of Itoshima-Nijo.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
