Nii Rice Terraces — Attraction in Ine

Beautiful rice terraces on the Sea of Japan. These Nii Rice Terraces are currently being used (2021) and are especially beautiful in May when the rice fields are flooded.

Area of Nii is just a little north of an area of boat houses in Ine-cho. There is a great scenic view around the coast in the north-east part filled with terraced rice fields.
