NPO OYAMA SENMAIDA Preservation society

Known as the rice terraces closest to Tokyo, Oyama Senmaida forms a wonderful landscape in combination with the surrounding mountains and nature.
In 1999, it was selected as one of the "100 Best Rice Terraces in Japan", and in 2002, it became a scenic spot designated by Chiba Prefecture, and many people have come to visit it as a scenic spot.
In order to conserve and utilize this Oyama Senmaida, the Oyama Senmaida Preservation Society was formed in 1997 by the landowners and supporters of Senmaida, and various activities have started. In March 2000, the "Oyama Senmaida Rice Shelf Ownership System," which is the main activity of the Preservation Society, was launched. This system, which aims to promote exchanges between urban and rural areas, received a great deal of attention as soon as it started, and in the first year, 39 rice terrace owners cultivated rice. This year, the soybean field trust system was launched, and the first Oyama Senmaida Photo Contest is being held.
