Join us for the Rice planting at rice paddies in Maruyama Senmaida - Fairfield by Marriott Mie Kumano Kodo Mihama
On Saturday May 17th, we are inviting guests staying at Fairfield by Marriott Mie Kumano Kodo Mihama to participate in the “Rice planting Experience” for rice cultivation at Maruyama Senmaida, organized by Kumanoshi Furusato Shinkou Kousya. Maruyama Senmaida is one of the largest and most beautiful rice terraces in Japan and has been selected as one of the "100 best rice terraces in Japan.
Fairfield by Marriott Michi-no-Eki Project has been participating in the ownership program of Maruyama Senmaida since 2024, and in April of this year, we participated in the “ridge coating,” which enhances the water retention in the rice paddies. This time, we will finally plant rice seedling under a lecture from a member of the preservation society. Under the pleasant early summer weather, please immerse yourself in the nature, and enjoy interacting with the local community.
