Bansho Rice Terraces

Nestled in the Bansho district of Kikuka, an area renowned for its spider lilies, lie stunning terraced rice fields named as one of the Top 100 Terraced Rice Fields in Japan. The sight is particularly breathtaking in mid-September when the red spider lilies bloom, creating a striking contrast with the golden rice stalks. The area, with its old houses and stone walls, offers a glimpse into Japan's rural past, and is popular with photographers.
