Details

"Tanbo Art" (Rice Field Art) is a mysterious scene depicting giant paintings floating in the rice paddy during the summer. An artwork created by the Taisetsu Agricultural Cooperative Association youth club uses rice paddies in Higashitakasu, Asahikawa City, Hokkaido, as a canvas, utilizing the varied colors of rice leaves.

The artwork uses only six colors of rice leaves - green, yellow, purple, red, orange, and white - to create an amazingly vivid contrast. It is best to climb up to the 8-meter-high gazebo between mid-July and mid-August so that you can take in the views of the rice fields and mountains as well as the Tanbo ART (rice field art).

On the pavilion's first floor is a direct sales area where visitors can purchase fresh local agricultural products and processed foods. In the summer, ice cream is available for purchase.
