On Saturday July 12th, we are inviting guests staying at Fairfield by Marriott Mie Kumano Kodo Mihama to participate in the “Scarecrow Making” 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 we participated in the “ridge coating,” in April and planting rice seedling in this May. This time, under a lecture from a member of the preservation society, each team will create a scarecrow and entry it in the “Scarecrow Contest.” Enjoy a smile-filled experience in rich nature in Mihama by creating unique scarecrows to protect the rice fields.
