Matsudai Tanada Bank

Join us maintain the best terraced rice field in Japan

The number of people engage in agriculture is less than 2 million, almost half of those in the IT industry. Decline in the number of young generations is in particular while ageing is rapidly advancing. Matsudai Tanada Bank is a scheme to maintain beautiful terraced rice fields with support from individuals and corporations.

The number of owners and areas for rice production is no.1 amongst similar schemes across Japan. Why not become an owner and receive delicious rice or experience rice production.
