Join us for the Rice planting at rice paddies in Maruyama Senmaida - Fairfield by Marriott Mie Kumano Kodo Mihama
On Saturday May 16th, we are inviting guests staying at Fairfield by Marriott Mie Kumano Kodo Mihama to participate in the “Rice planting Experience” 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 our hotel staff took part in rice planting and harvesting themselves. This time, you’ll learn traditional hand-planting techniques from local farmers in the terraced fields. Why not embark on a journey to experience a special moment where you can admire the beautiful scenery of the terraced fields, try traditional hand-planting, and interact with the local community?
