A rare traditional rice-planting method found only in Hida and Sado regions, where rice seedlings are planted in a circular wheel pattern. Designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Gifu Prefecture, this event takes place at Hida no Sato (Hida Folk Village). The 'takayama mochi' rice variety is planted in late May, with harvesting in autumn. Visitors can enjoy complimentary mochi (rice cakes) made from the previous year's harvest—limited to 500 servings.
