Tanebo Rice Art

Our explorations continued later that first week with a road trip out to see the Tanebo Rice Fields near Hirosaki. Every summer, farmers in the area plant different types and colors of rice in such a way that a beautiful picture appears when the plants grow. Tourists gather at the end of the summer and wait in long lines for a turn to ride up to the top of an observation tower and look down at the feat. We enjoyed viewing the design from up close on the ground as well as from the air. Definitely worth the two hour drive!
