The Rice Fields of Hoshitoge

The Hoshitoge settlement, home to the “Shedding House,” is also famous for the beautiful “Hoshitoge Rice Fields” (rice paddies built in a stepped pattern on the slopes of the mountains), known as the Tanada Steps.As a scenic spot, the “Hoshitoge Rice Fields” attract tourists and photographers throughout the year. These Rice Fields are “rain-fed paddies” that rely solely on rainwater and cannot be accessed by machinery, requiring a great deal of manual labor; however, the resulting rice is exceptionally delicious. Snowfall exceeding 3 meters, significant temperature fluctuations between day and night, and meltwater seeping into the mountains all contribute to the cultivation of this premium rice.
