東寺棚田
Historic terraced rice paddies (東寺棚田) offering layered compositions, mirror-like reflections when flooded (spring) and textured rows in summer/harvest. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm side light; early morning often has mist. Narrow rural access with limited roadside parking—park respectfully and avoid working fields. No entry fee but respect farmers and private paths. Spring (flooded paddies) and autumn (colored foliage) are peak seasons.
