Kehara Terraced Rice Paddies

In the foothills of the Oeyama mountain range lies a cluster of terraced rice paddies carved into the mountainous terrain. Built to maximize arable land, they have sustained the small agricultural village of Kehara since at least the Heian period (794–1185). There were once as many as 36 homes with 136 villagers living here, but today only 13 houses remain. The tight-knit community works collectively to preserve its way of life and encourage sustainability. It also welcomes in new members through a community farming rice paddy ownership system.

An observation deck near the top of the village offers sweeping views of the terraced landscape. The scenery is especially charming in early summer when rice seedlings emerge from the reflective pools of water, dotting the landscape in neat rows. One remaining thatched-roof house and a waterwheel accentuate the landscape with traditional architecture. Droves of fireflies illuminate the rice fields on summer nights, attracted to the clean mountain water.

The village also has painted jizo statues, a guest cottage, a brick pizza oven available by reservation, and a doburoku (unrefined sake) brewery. Rice-planting activities are held every spring, and in July and August, visitors can pick their own blueberries and blackberries. A walk through the village takes around 30 to 60 minutes. Visitors should note that the observation deck can only be reached on foot. Guided tours of Kehara are available with prior reservations.

毛原梯田

在大江山山脈的山麓丘陵上，有一片依山開鑿的水稻梯田。可最大限度開拓耕地面積的梯田，至少自平安時代（794-1185）起，就支撐起了毛原這個小山村的農業。村裡曾經居住著36戶人家，136名村民，但如今只剩下了13戶。這裡的村民們關係密切，同心協力地保護著本地的傳統生活方式，並力求促進可持續發展。毛原實行水稻梯田集體所有制，現在仍在歡迎新成員的加入。

靠近村莊最高點有一個觀景台，可一覽稻田全景。初夏時節的景色尤為宜人，水田裡倒映著天光山色，稻秧剛從水中探出頭來，一排排整齊地點綴在這片風景之中。村內依然保存著一座茅葺房舍和一架水車，傳統的建築設施更為田園風光增加了一抹亮色。夏夜裡，山坡上粼粼的清澈水光引來成群的螢火蟲，照亮了稻田。

這座小村裡還有彩繪地藏菩薩像、一間客舍小屋、一座可供預約使用的磚砌披薩烤爐和一個濁酒（未經蒸餾過濾的日本酒）釀造廠。毛原在每年春天提供插秧體驗活動；7、8月間，訪客可以親手採摘藍莓和黑莓。步行遊覽村莊需時約30到60分鐘。觀景台僅可步行前往，村莊亦可提供導覽，但需要提前預約。
