The massive art created with colorful rice plants on a rice paddy canvas is truly breathtaking!
Tanbo Art is an annual event held in Inakadate Village, Aomori Prefecture. A vast rice paddy serves as a canvas, with rice plants of different colors planted to create giant paintings and characters. It began in 2001 and has since become nationally famous. A changing theme each year is one of its charms. In the past, famous paintings, anime characters, and local legends have been featured. What masterpiece awaits this year is something to look forward to! Tanbo Art isn't just about enjoying the visual spectacle; it also allows you to appreciate the efforts of the farmers and their love for their community. During the rice planting and harvesting seasons, there are also hands-on events, so be sure to participate if you can. When viewing Tanbo Art, we recommend enjoying the view from the observation deck. You can get a panoramic view of the magnificent artwork displayed across the vast rice paddy. Strolling through the rural landscape and savoring local specialties is also recommended. Tanbo Art is an event that both adults and children can enjoy.
