Inakadatemura Rice Paddy Art

The rice paddy art created annually in Inakadatemura Village, Aomori Prefecture, is an artistic work where giant patterns are drawn by planting different colored rice varieties. When viewed from the observation deck of the village office, precise paintings spread across the entire rice field—a breathtaking sight. Created with a different theme each year, its intricacy and scale draw attention from both domestic and international audiences. Best viewing period is July to August.
