At Hiruzen Highland in Maniwa City, Okayama Prefecture, you can enjoy a scene called "upside down Hiruzen" where the majestic mountain range is reflected in the rice fields filled with water.
"Upside Down Hiruzen" is an early summer tradition in Hiruzen that can be seen every year from late April, when the rice fields are filled with water, to late May, when the rice plantings are finished.
On the surface of the rice fields in the Hiruzen Higashi-Kayabe district of Maniwa City, the "Hiruzen Sanza" was reflected, which is a series of three mountains: Kami-Hiruzen, Naka-Hiruzen, and Shimo-Hiruzen.
According to the local tourist association, "Upside Down Hiruzen" looks especially beautiful from early morning until around 8 a.m., when the wind does not blow much on a calm sunny day.
In this rice field, you can also see the "Upside-Down Daisen" that reflects the large mountain of Tottori Prefecture when you change the angle, and the symmetrical natural art attracts photography enthusiasts and locals.
A local man in his 70s who visited to take the photo said, "The view of the beautifully arranged Hiruzen Sanza Theater reflected in the water mirror is unique and wonderful."
Taro Kobayashi, 71, the owner of the rice fields, also took pictures of this scene every year, saying, "I hope everyone enjoys taking pictures."
