Hoshitoge Rice Terraces

The Hoshitoge Rice Terraces, where around 200 rice paddies of various sizes stretch out on mountain slopes like the scales of a fish, and show different views each season and at each time of the day, are the most popular spots among the rice terraces dotted around Tokamachi City. In the best season, when the sea of clouds phenomenon occurs and the waters of the paddies shine, many photographers and tourists from all over the country come to this place to see the beautiful scenery.
