Traditional Japan village on verge of losing scenery

TOYAMA, Japan - This photo shows an inland area at dusk in Toyama Prefecture on the Sea of Japan coast in May where houses are scattered in rice paddy fields. The 220-square-kilometer region in the city of Tonami, regarded as a typical Japanese agricultural village, draws avid photographers during a rice-planting period in May. But the area is now on the verge of losing its scenery as more rice fields are turning into residential areas due to a fall in the number of rice growers.
