Located in Tokamachi, Niigata Prefecture, the Gimyo Rice Terraces offer a picturesque view, especially during sunset when the flooded paddies reflect the sky. A small parking area is available across the road, complete with wooden benches for visitors to relax and enjoy the scenery. While the terraces can be visited year-round, the best time to capture stunning photographs is in the spring when the paddies are filled with water, and cherry blossoms may still be in bloom, or during sunset. Be mindful of litter to help preserve the beauty of this natural landscape. The terraces are a 10-minute drive from Matsudai Station.
