It has become a hot topic online that a world map is drawn on the Google map of Inakadate Village, Aomori Prefecture.

The world map is drawn at the second rice field art venue (Takahihachiman, Inakadate Village, Minamitsugaru-gun). Originally, it should be a paddy field that is the venue for rice field art, but on the Google map, a clear world map is drawn.

According to the roadside station Yayoi no Sato where the same venue is located, before the rice field art venue, there was a pond called "Earth Pond," where the world map was filled with soil. At that time, there was a plan to plant rice from around the world on the map, but it was not realized. He says that the world map on the map is "as it was at that time."

The theme of this year's venue is "Sazae-san". At present, rice is steadily growing. The best time to see it is around mid July.
