The Kashidani terraced rice fields, with an average slope of 20% and 257 individual plots, offer a stunning sight when flooded from May to June each year. Recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries as part of the “Linked Terraced Rice Field Heritage” initiative, these fields are a testament to traditional agricultural practices. Efforts are also being made to preserve both the terraced fields and the surrounding woodlands and rural landscapes that support local ecosystems and communities.
