Kanzaiko Senmaida Rice Terraces

神在居の千枚田

Kochi · Shikoku

A steep hillside of roughly 182 small rice terraces at about 600m elevation, selected among Japan's Top 100 Rice Terraces, with a viewing platform and thatched rest hut.

Why it's hidden

A working agricultural landscape rather than a curated attraction, visited mostly by domestic terrace-rice enthusiasts.
