Overview

The Take District rice terraces, located in Tofumura, Fukuoka Prefecture, are approximately 400-year-old stone-walled rice terraces. They stand as a testament to the ingenuity and hard work of people in the past, skillfully utilizing the limited space in the valley as farmland. Nestled in a tranquil location surrounded by mountains, these terraces are perfect for those seeking a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. After the rice planting in late May, the water reflecting the sunset creates a magical scene. In June, fireflies dance, in August, lush rice stalks sway gently in the breeze, September brings golden fields of rice, and winter blankets the landscape with a serene snow cover. You can enjoy beautiful scenery throughout the year. Take a stroll around the rice terraces or gather information at the Tofumura Village Office's local promotion section.
