If you search on Google Maps, you will find a large number of routes. (Ogi Terraced Rice Field Map Code: 440 430 391 * 75 / ® DENSO Corporation)
It's possible to go on any route, but it's often tiring to get there because the road is extremely narrow and the asphalt isn't paved ...

Therefore!This time, I was taught by the Ubuyama Village Hall.Recommended routeI will go with 🚗

Starting from the Ubuyama Village Hall, the number of turns is XNUMX times.If you click on a pin in the map, a photo of the corner is attached, so it is recommended to check in advance if it is difficult to understand!

The recommended route that you taught me is that you can go without hesitation because there are signboards like this at every turn 👍

When you come along the route, you will see the rice terraces on your right.If you go up a straight road to the top, you will find something like a small mountain. (Center of the photo)

There is a parking lot to the right of this mountain, so please climb to the top with the mountain as a landmark 💨

There is a space where about 10 cars can be parked here, so let's park here when visiting 🚗

(* Please note that there are no parking lot information signs on site)

● Ogi Terraced Rice Field View Spot

Click here for the view from the view spot 👀!

This view can be seen from the small mountain next to the parking lot where the car was parked earlier ⛰

We will climb the narrow road for one person, which was made while the visitors were stepping on.

It's only a few tens of meters away, but the soil under your feet is quite slippery and the slope is steep, so shoes that are easy to walk in, such as sneakers, are safer!

After climbing with a little shortness of breath, this view ...!

It was cloudy on the day of the interview, but it's still beautiful ...!I thought I was tired from climbing the slope, but I feel like I forgot. (!?)

By the way, you can see it from the road under the small mountain, but it is recommended to see it from this mountain because it is difficult to understand the three-dimensional effect of the terraced rice fields if there are no cars passing by and the height is not high 👀✨

This time, I wanted to convey the charm of Ogi Terraced Rice Fields, and with the permission of the Ubuyama Village Office and the Makino Association, I flew the drone in the presence of the office!

Just looking at it makes me feel calm ... Rice terraces are wonderful 😭✨
