Aragi-jima Island Rice Terraces

Aragi-jima Island is a unique sight designated as one of the top 100 rice terrace views in Japan. In 2013, it was also awarded national status as a scenic landscape of important cultural heritage. The beautiful, naturally-occurring shape of the terraced fields has become a symbol of Aridagawa, and the transient beauty of the fields as they change in line with the seasons is remarkable. The area has a certain atmosphere that cannot be replicated in photos. For a good view of the fields, visit the observatory set up on the opposite side of the Aridagawa River.
