【Chiba】Oyama Senmaida: The Closest Scenic Terraced Rice Fields to Tokyo

Oyama Senmaida, located in the central part of the Boso Peninsula, is the closest terraced rice field area to Tokyo.

This stunning spot features 375 terraced rice fields arranged in a staircase-like pattern, making it one of Japan's most picturesque locations.

Not only is it rare for the fields to rely solely on rainwater for cultivation, but the scenery also changes with the seasons, showcasing water mirrors, snow-covered landscapes, and more.

At times, the area is illuminated at night, creating a fantastical and breathtaking view.

Access is convenient: from JR Awa-Kamogawa Station, take the Kamogawa Nitto Bus to "Oyama Senmaida Entrance" and walk about 20 minutes.

For those driving, free parking is available, making it easy to visit 🚗.

Nearby, you’ll find "Tanada Club," where you can enjoy café dishes made with locally branded rice and handmade pizza.
