詩歩さんのインスタグラム写真 - (詩歩Instagram)「📷 17th May 2023 📍岐阜県坂折棚田 / Sakaori rice terrace Gifu Japan 日本の棚田百選にも選ばれている、岐阜県にある #坂折棚田。標高500ｍ前後の山の斜面に約360枚の棚田が広がっています。この棚田の始まりは、なんと400年前の江戸時代😳石積みが1枚ずつの小さな田んぼを支えています。この日は棚田で朝日を見るために、家を深夜1時（！）に出発。ちょうど田植えがさればかりで、小さな稲が朝日にキラキラと輝いていました✨2枚目の写真がけっこうお気に入り！棚田って管理が大変で、農家さんが高齢になると耕作放棄地になっちゃうところが多いんだよね…最近わたしが見に行った場所も、けっこう棚田の景観が保存されていない場所が多くて。この坂折棚田は保存会の皆さんによって、オーナー制度（誰でも棚田のオーナーになれる！）などで美しい棚田が保存されています。展望台まで整備されていて本当にうれしいなあ🙏 春は水田、夏は緑の田んぼ、秋には金色の稲穂、たまにライトアップイベントもされているみたい。また季節を変えてきてみたいな🌾 岐阜県の投稿はこのタグでまとめています / Posts of this area can be found in this tag.→ #shiho_gifu The #SakaoriRiceTerrace in Gifu Prefecture have been selected as one of the 100 best terraced rice paddies in Japan. About 360 terraced rice fields are spread out on the slope of a mountain at an altitude of around 500 meters. These terraced rice fields began 400 years ago! Iron masonry supports each small rice field. On this day, we left home at 1 am (!) to watch the sunrise in the terraced rice fields. The rice had just been planted and the tiny rice plants glistened in the morning sun. The second photo is my favorite! Terraced rice paddies are very difficult to manage, and many of them are abandoned when the farmers get old... Recently, I visited many places where the terraced rice paddies have not been preserved. The Sakaori terraced rice paddies have been preserved by the preservation group through an owner system (anyone can become a terraced rice paddy owner!) and other efforts. I am very happy to see that they have even built a viewing platform. In spring, the rice paddies are paddies, in summer they are green rice fields, in fall they are golden ears of rice, and sometimes they have light-up events. I would like to visit again in a different season! ©︎Shiho/詩歩」6月1日 17時55分
