Experience at Hello Woods
What is rice planting?
Have you ever planted rice before?
You don't see rice fields very often in the city, do you? Some people may have seen them at their grandmother's house in the countryside! However, I think there are few opportunities to actually experience planting rice.
At Mobility Resort Motegi, there is a forest called Hello Woods with a large terraced rice field that spans 24 levels, and every year they hold a rice planting experience there. Many living creatures live in the forest, but there are also some that only live in the rice fields. In order to protect the lives of these precious creatures, Hello Woods utilizes the terraced rice fields and carefully manages them. Not only do they protect the lives of these creatures, but the rice that is planted and grown can be harvested in the fall and eaten as rice. You can actually feel the rice that you planted growing and becoming edible rice.
Rice planting is done barefoot.
Take off your shoes and socks, and feel the sensation of the soil and the movement of living creatures on your bare feet.
Hello Woods is a forest that is carefully maintained by human hands, just like the rice fields. Therefore, you can play in the mud without any worries about safety! Why not try experiencing rice planting and moving your body to your heart's content? Children and adults can enjoy it together. In these times, many people have fewer opportunities to move their bodies freely. Why not take this opportunity to experience it?
What will we do on the day?
Rice planting experience will be held for two weeks in mid-May.
There will be one session in the morning and one in the afternoon, with a total duration of 1.5 hours, so you can enjoy it along with other attractions and activities.
On the day, there is a possibility of getting dirty as you will be planting rice in the rice field. Hello Woods has a shower room, so please use it after the event ends. It is recommended for energetic children and adults to bring a change of clothes.

With the spread of the new coronavirus, many people have been spending more time at home.
But by breathing in the fresh air of nature, you can refresh your body and feel more alive.
Also, since you can't experience rice planting in the city,
why not try rice planting at the safe and enjoyable Hello Woods terraced rice fields?
