In 1999, the rice terrace fields located at Hamanoura were selected as one of the Top 100 Terraced Paddy Fields in Japan. Facing the Genkai Sea, these fields become filled up with water from mid-April and are fully planted with rice by early May. During this period is the best time to visit. Visitors can enjoy the view from the deck of the observatory.
