Ueyama Rice Terraces, Rice terraces in Ojiro, Japan.
The Ueyama Rice Terraces consist of 39 fields covering 3.1 hectares, arranged in curved patterns across the mountainous terrain of Hyogo Prefecture.
These agricultural terraces, dating from the Heian to Muromachi periods, demonstrate the evolution of farming methods on challenging hillside landscapes over centuries.
The Ministry of Agriculture selected Ueyama as part of the 100 Best Rice Terraces in Japan, recognizing its role in preserving traditional farming methods.
Visitors can reach the terraces through local transportation services from nearby urban centers, with photography opportunities particularly strong during spring planting and autumn harvest.
Local farmers maintain the Inaki method, where harvested rice dries on wooden logs in the sun, enhancing the grain's natural flavors.
