It gives us a rare opportunity to experience rice harvesting in the city,&#8221; a high-school student in the Roppongi Hills community told reporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2006, Roppongi Hills has cooperated with local governments to plant and reap the best varieties from the regions. This year, the event is in collaboration with Toyama Prefecture.&nbsp;\u25a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/english.news.cn\/20230923\/07620c7294d04e0fa644bcbc9bb2b351\/b2d5684d4bbc40958aa1db059545622a.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Children learn to bundle harvested rice at Roppongi Hills complex in Tokyo, Japan, Sept. 23, 2023.
