Japan's best rural landscape area

Japan, 〒509-7403 Tomita District, Iwamura-cho, Ena City, Gifu Prefecture

This rural landscape is characterized by a rural landscape dotted with traditional farmhouses and storehouses with tiles and white walls in the gentle, slightly sloping Iwamura Basin, surrounded by green hills that form the basin and mountains in the distance. The fact that they are arranged in double and triple layers enhances this landscape even more. The countryside spread out here has a total area of ​​about 150 ha. The title of ``Japan's No. 1 Rural Landscape'' was given to it in 1989 by Professor Kimura of Kyoto University of Education, who specializes in researching environmental issues across the country, and the area was immediately brought into the spotlight with mass media coverage. Standing here, you can feel the ``spiritual home'' that Japan lost after the war. Please take a look at this beautiful scenery of Japan.
