Doya Terraced Rice Fields (also known as Doya Tanada) are located on Fukushima Island, north of Nagasaki Prefecture, about 100 kilometers from the city center. Fukuoka about 70km to the southwest. This terraced field is recognized as one of the 100 most beautiful terraced fields in Japan. Today, let's explore with me to see what attractive scenery there is.

The only way to get here is by car. It took me about 1 hour to drive from central Fukuoka to here, very fast. You can combine visiting places in Fukuoka, then move here in the afternoon and catch the sunset. (You can read the travel itinerary of places in Fukuoka at THIS okay).
When I arrived here, it was July 30, the rice was still green and starting to bloom.
I come from Sakurai Futamigaura's Couple Stones at 3:30 pm, and luckily got here just before sunset.
Doya terraced fields are located close to the Genkai sea, in the distance are many mountains and small islands on the sea, creating an extremely unique landscape.
Every September, a festival called the “Doya Tanada Fire Festival” takes place here. More than 3,000 lanterns are lit around the rice fields here, creating a magical, picturesque atmosphere at night.
There are also many large parking areas for people to visit and take pictures. Especially, it is completely free.
This is also a very beautiful place to watch the sunset in Nagasaki. Sunset on the sea is always the most attractive thing for me.
And finally, let's take a look at some pictures I took here before sunset.
Sunset here lasts only 15-20 minutes, everyone should take quick photos before the sun sets.
This concludes my introduction to Doya Rice Terraces. This is an extremely easy-to-go photo spot that you can refer to. You can combine it with many other surrounding locations to have a perfect day trip. You can also read more articles about the provinces in the Kyushu region to be able to plan the most reasonable travel schedule. Thank you for reading to the end of the article.
