Fuji and Hagoromo", 2nd rice field art = "Sazae-san" celebrating the 45th anniversary of TV broadcasting.

Currently, the picture is faint. The rice is growing steadily, and the characters of "Sazae-san" have also grown to the point where they can be seen.

There are already tourists coming from outside the prefecture, and the number of visitors is increasing year by year. The best time to see rice field art is from mid-July to mid-August. It is said that the Neputa festival period in early August will be the most crowded.
