Oyama Senmaida

Oyama Senmaida is known as the closest terraced rice field to Tokyo, and the access is excellent! If you have a car, it's convenient to access by car, taking about 30 minutes from either "Kyonan Hodda IC" or "Kimitsu IC", and a total of about 90 minutes from Tokyo. As you go further, enjoy the scenery that gradually changes to rich nature, and head there for a relaxing drive! For those using public transportation, transfer to a local bus from "Awa-Kamogawa Station" on the JR Sotobo Line, and after getting off at the "Kamanuma" bus stop, it's about a 20-minute walk to arrive. There is also a car rental office near "Awa-Kamogawa Station", so it's a good idea to rent a car from there if you find it inconvenient to transfer buses or on rainy days!

There is a free parking lot near the observation deck of Oyama Senmaida that can accommodate about 30 cars. During rice planting season or events, priority is given to cars belonging to the rice terrace owners, schools, tour buses, and others, but on days when there is nothing special going on, you can use this parking lot smoothly. During the annual "Terrace Night Festival" held in the fall, the surrounding roads are closed to traffic and the parking lot quickly fills up, so it's recommended to use the parking lot at the "Kamogawa City Comprehensive Sports Facility," which is temporarily opened for free during that time. Also, during the lighting-up period on weekends around 4-6 pm, it tends to get crowded, so it's recommended to patiently wait in line or visit on a weekday if possible.
