Higashikubiki Hills, Rolling hills in Niigata Prefecture, Japan.
The Higashikubiki Hills extend across the landscape with gentle slopes and undulating terrain, creating natural pathways through the countryside of Niigata Prefecture.
The geological formation of these hills dates back to the Plio-Pleistocene period, containing sedimentary layers that exceed 2,500 meters in total thickness.
Local farmers maintain traditional agricultural practices on the fertile hillsides, producing crops that have sustained communities in this region for generations.
Multiple hiking trails throughout the hills connect to information centers where visitors can obtain detailed maps and seasonal activity recommendations.
The hills contain seventeen distinct ash layers and eight lapilli zones, providing scientists with precise markers for studying geological chronology.
