Yatsushiro Plain, Agricultural alluvial plain in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan.
The Yatsushiro Plain extends across 230 square kilometers at sea level, featuring fertile soils formed by river sediment deposits in Kumamoto Prefecture.
The expansion of Yatsushiro Plain occurred through systematic land reclamation projects during the Edo period, transforming it into an agricultural center.
The plain serves as a foundation for traditional Japanese farming methods, with local communities maintaining seasonal rice cultivation ceremonies throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the plain via railways and roads from Kumamoto city, with multiple agricultural tours offering insights into rice farming techniques.
The plain produces specialized crops including banpeiyu citrus fruits and karashi renkon, a local preparation of lotus root with mustard.
