This timeless scene is the result of local preservation efforts here at Oyama Senmaida, which is known as the closest spot to Tokyo to view terraced rice paddies.
The Oyama Senmaida Preservation Society offers hands-on agricultural experiences, as well as a look at how to prepare rice in the 'kamado', a traditional Japanese stove for boiling rice.
Visitors here can also enjoy eating the local rice at Tanada Cafe Gombei, a restaurant located atop the hill that overlooks the paddies.
