Narrow valley with rice paddies ready to harvest; passing by platforms of local station

Fields of rice in the wide river valley of the Hino River mostly have already been harvested. Among the 3-4 varieties most popularly grown for commercial gain there are some that can be transplanted as seedlings soon after the danger of frost is passed and then will mature in August for harvest early in September when the moisture content of the heavy grain heads is judged to be optimum. Other varieties and the ones transplanted later might have to wait until October, when most of the typhoon season has passed. But in the narrow valley shown in this video clip through the window of a speeding express train there is less available sunlight to accumulate in the ripening plants, so the harvest is later than in the wide valley, but not too much later than today, the national holiday for celebrating Japanese culture, Bunka no Hi.
