A scenic walk through the 'terraced rice fields' in a silver world
The beautiful terraced rice fields of Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture, which have been passed down for generations, turn into a vast snowy landscape in winter. In this experience, you will wear 'kanjiki' (traditional snowshoes), a piece of traditional folk equipment, to walk through the snow-covered fields. The silence of the winter terraced rice fields is a breathtaking sight unique to snow country.
Learn about village life from a local guide
