Toon

Located 30 minutes from Matsuyamashi Station, Toon encompasses mountains, fields, and terraced rice paddies across its agricultural landscape covering 33,000 residents.

The agricultural practices in Toon developed through generations, with rice cultivation methods adapting to the mountainous terrain through strategic terrace construction.

Traditional sake production remains central to Toon's identity, particularly the regional doburoku, an unfiltered variety made using large cauldrons and specific fermentation techniques.

Visitors can reach the rice terraces by following the main road to designated walking paths, with local restaurants like Botanchaya offering traditional dining experiences.

The rice terraces of Toon form precise geometric patterns on mountain slopes, serving both agricultural purposes and natural erosion control mechanisms.
