Leisurely Explore a Peaceful Satoyama Landscape

About this spot

This is Shimakura District in Sanwa Ward, Joetsu City, where tonight's Sanwa Festival will be held. Endless rice paddies stretch across the landscape, surrounded by mountains, creating a serene satoyama scene. The sight of lush green rice plants swaying in the summer breeze and the chorus of cicadas create a peaceful countryside atmosphere you can't find in the city. Observing the community's festival preparations adds another dimension to your walk.
