Overview

Hibiki Rice Terraces, located in Takahama-cho, Fukui Prefecture, are a stunning example of Japanese rice terraces, selected as one of Japan's Top 100. The terraces, sprawling across a slope facing the sea, captivate visitors with their beautiful contrast of the blue ocean and the lush green rice paddies. Although not large in scale, their beauty is exceptional. The area near the rice terraces features wide roads with minimal traffic, allowing for a leisurely stroll. Viewing the ocean from the terrace pathways is highly recommended. On clear days, you can even see distant mountains, enjoying a magnificent vista. Hibiki Rice Terraces display a captivating change of scenery throughout the year. In spring, preparations for rice planting begin, and water fills the paddies. Summer showcases vibrant green rice plants basking in the sunlight, autumn reveals golden ears of rice, and winter presents a quiet landscape covered in snow. Hibiki Rice Terraces offer a place of healing, allowing you to experience the essence of Japan's traditional countryside. We highly recommend a visit.
