What is the "Matsudai Rice Fields Bank"?
What You Can Do as a Matsudai Rice Fields Bank Member
① We deliver rice grown in The Rice Fields.
In November, we will send you fresh Koshihikari rice harvested from our Rice Fields. Grown in a natural, lush environment, this rice is rich in flavor and exceptionally delicious. Moreover, tasting rice that you have watched grow yourself offers a special experience that cannot be gained simply by eating it. We invite you to savor the unique flavor that comes from being connected to our Rice Fields.

② You can participate in farm work experiences.
We host seasonal farming events such as rice planting, rice harvesting, and weed whacking. By getting your hands dirty, you can experience firsthand the rhythms of rural life. Another major highlight of this experience is the opportunity to interact with fellow members and local staff. We hope you’ll enjoy spending time in nature and building connections with others.

③ We will send out a newsletter with updates on our daily activities.
Our email newsletter brings you the changing seasons of the Rice Fields and updates on our daily activities. Even when you can’t visit in person, you can still experience the satoyama landscape and the changing seasons up close.
