The number of people engage in agriculture is less than 2 million, almost half of those in the IT industry. Decline in the number of young generations is in particular while ageing is rapidly advancing. Matsudai Tanada Bank is a scheme to maintain beautiful terraced rice fields with support from individuals and corporations.

The number of owners and areas for rice production is no.1 amongst similar schemes across Japan. Why not become an owner and receive delicious rice or experience rice production.

Let’s become the owner of Matsudai Tanada Bank !

Terraced rice field owners (foster parents) are being sought to maintain terraced rice fields that have lost their bearers due to aging and depopulation. Newly harvested rice will be delivered in the fall. You can also experience rice cultivation. In addition, a special course has been created that includes a benefit for the women's soccer team "FC Echigo-Tsumari," which plays soccer while working hard in agriculture and managing the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale. Let's support FC Echigo-Tsumari through the Matsudai Tanada Bank!
