Tsuzura Terrace Fields Red spider lily

Nestled in the mountains of Ukiha City, Fukuoka Prefecture, the "Tsuzura Tanada" is a scenic terraced rice field selected as one of Japan’s Top 100 Terraced Rice Fields. Each season brings a different charm, but especially around mid-September, the bright red cluster amaryllis (higanbana) lining the ridges captivate visitors. The contrast between the golden rice beginning to ripen and the vivid crimson flowers creates a landscape like a painting. Under the clear autumn sky, the graceful curves of the terraced fields spread before you, offering a breathtaking view found only here.

The clusters of higanbana also make for stunning photographs, attracting many photography enthusiasts every year. When visiting, please remember to show respect and gratitude to the local community who maintain the rice terraces, and enjoy the scenery while following proper manners, such as not stepping on ridges or rice fields. Surrounded by this quintessential Japanese landscape, woven together by nature and human life, you can fully savor the charm of autumn.
