Maruyama Senmaida, located in Kumano, Japan, is a breathtaking series of terraced rice paddies that stretch across the hillsides, creating a stunning visual landscape. These terraces, known for their curvaceous and intricate design, are a testament to the ingenuity and hard work of local farmers who have cultivated these fields for centuries. With over a thousand small rice paddies, Maruyama Senmaida is not only an agricultural marvel but also a cultural heritage site that attracts visitors for its seasonal beauty, particularly during the planting and harvesting seasons.
