Autumn Photo Gallery

Uonuma has distinctive four seasons, in which I like autumn the best.



In early autumn, rice fields turn to gold and farmers start harvesting rice. Sometimes we can see unique landscape of "Hazagake" (traditional way to dry rice under the sun)



When harvesting ends, leaves starts to turn to red and yellow from the mountaintops, gradually down toward village. Perssimon trees with ripe orange fruits are heart-warming.


But Uonuma's autumn is very short.

Mountaintops will soon be covered with snow.
The first snow last year was in November...
Soon there will be white snow all around.
