Experience farming (rice cultivation) in terraced rice paddies
About
In terraced rice fields with a spectacular view of Kujuku Islands in Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture, where the original landscape of the Japanese countryside still remains, you can join the rice farmers of these terraced rice fields and experience the agricultural work (planting seedlings, harvesting rice, weeding, etc.) that is possible at that time of year. On request, we can also offer you the experience of making plates and chopsticks from bamboo. By visiting the rice paddies, you can use all five senses to feel nature, a healing experience that cannot be experienced in everyday life. Interaction with the producers and local people is also an enjoyable moment.

[Beautiful terraced rice paddies with a view of Kujuku Islands in front of you]
The field for the experience is a terraced rice field. The bay overlooking Kujuku Islands spreads out before your eyes, creating a special space where you can feel all the mountains, sea and satoyama of Japan.
Under the guidance of local farmers, participants will experience actual farm work (rice harvesting).
This is not done by machine, but by hand as in the past, and participants will experience the value of agricultural products (rice).
Visitors can cut down bamboo from the bamboo groves around the terraced rice paddies and try their hand at simple bamboo crafts, which have been made since ancient times. You can make your own plates, chopsticks, cups, etc. in any size you like.
