収穫間近の田んぼでは、鳥などが来ないように案山子が田んぼを見張っています。
写真は、今日（2024年8月23日）、さいたま市見沼地域で見かけた案山子です。
Scarecrows stand in rice fields and are frightening birds away.
Photos show scarecrows in Minuma area, Saitama City.
【Bon appétit !】
Minuma is the wetlands area spreading through the center of Saitama City, and is a prosperous rice production area of the Kanto region (tambo means rice field). If you’re a fan of the typical “Japanese scenery” consisting of endless rice fields and various nooks and crannies with temples, parks, flower fields and the like, Minuma is a must! Under an hour from Tokyo station, you should seriously consider a jaunt here before spending your time traveling to more crowded tourist destinations.
