This vast area, with its tranquil scenery, is also known as a viewpoint for Mount Fuji, towering majestically beyond terraced fields and rice stalks. When the rice paddies are filled with water, you can see Mount Fuji reflected in the water, creating an inverted image of the mountain. The scenery changes dramatically between early summer, when the rice stalks are not yet fully grown, and autumn, when the rice stalks are heavy with grain and gleam golden, allowing you to enjoy a variety of views depending on the time of day and season.
