Higashikawa rice, 4 seasons.

Asahidake, rice and water, everywhere in Higashikawa.

Mount Asahidake can be seen from any of its windows.
Water of Asahidake flows through its rivers, streams and faucets (excellent mineral water, free for its citizens).
And grows its rice.

Rice fields mark the four seasons:

                                        Winter

Spring

Rice grows and Higashikawa becomes green. Bustle of frogs at night.


Summer

Autumn

Grain is collected and fields burned.
