The beautiful rice terraces that drew a border between human habitation and the homes of wild animals, and the gentle rows of rice fields that seem to snuggle in the valley, is an image of the Japan that has respected and co-existed with nature.
Entrust your body to this environment and behave both a physical and mental retreat looking out at Ueda City spreading at the foot of the mountain, Utsukushigahara Highlands looming before you, and the Japan Alps just behind it.
