一関の金山棚田
一関の山中に佇むのが金山棚田です。金山棚田は、約50平方メートルの独特な形の田んぼが20個ある棚田です。
小さくて平坦な田んぼのため、ほとんどの作業は手作業で行う必要があります。このような棚田は日本でも珍しく、2022年からは全国公認の棚田遺産に選ばれています。<>月の田んぼ作業から<>月の稲刈りまでの期間に全国から観光客が訪れます。
四季折々の金山棚田田のさまざまな顔をご紹介します。
フィールドのどの面が好きですか?
<>月の田んぼの茶色土。
雪が溶けたばかりで、田んぼはまだ空っぽです。しかし、少しずつ変化が現れ始めます。

COVID in 2023:How’s Oshu Doing？
It’s been 3 years since COVID-19 changed all of our lives. As with the rest of the world, Oshu, Iwate, has put various infection control measures in place. But how has COVID-19 impacted the lives of people in Oshu? Further, what are things like now? This article will address these questions.
Masks
As a preventative measure against COVID-19, most people living in Japan masked up on a regular basis – a situation that has continued to this day. Mask wearing has never been mandatory in Japan, only recommended. However, Japan’s had a long culture of wearing face masks, and it’s easy for most people to do, since they get used to masks at an early age. Japan also has a plentiful variety of masks, so even though I was unused to them at first, I was able to find a type that was comfortable for me, and now it’s about as normal as wearing a pair of socks. If you get the chance to visit Japan, I encourage you to take a look around and see if you can find a mask style that appeals to you.
