Looks like fun to Andy and Kenny
姨捨の棚田を寄ったら田植えがまだ続いていました。ここの棚田が狭い為に機械じゃなくて、手でやるそうです。保存会になっているので東京からご家族が子供を連れて田植えしに来るスポンサーもいる。姨捨棚田の田植えの時期が見事だ！
We stopped by the terraced rice paddies at Obasute today, and saw an old lady planting the rice seedlings by hand. The paddies are too small to use machines for planting, so volunteer members of the Preservation Society come, some families from Tokyo with their kids in tow, too. The rice planting season at Obasute is one of those magical times here in Nagano.
