The first rice field art venue at the village office of Inakadate/Inakadate (Inakadate Village) started open to the public on May 30.

The rice field art of the village, which draws pictures and letters using 12 kinds of rice in 7 colors, is held at 2 venues every year. This year's theme is 1st rice field art venue = NHK taiga drama "From Sanadamaru, Mitsunari Ishida and Masayuki Sanada", 2nd rice field art venue = "Shin Godzilla".

Rice was planted by the participants of the open call for participants on the "rice planting experience tour" held on May 29, and only "Sanada Maru" was opened to the public on the 30th of the next day.
