A beautiful terraced rice field reminiscent of Japan's original landscape, with different expressions for each season.
Located in the Nakayama district, known for its Nakayama Rural Kabuki Stage, in the central part of Shodoshima, the Nakayama Senmaida terraced rice fields are a sight to behold, with about 800 large and small terraces overlapping on sloping land at an altitude of 150-250 meters. In 1999, it was selected as one of the "Top 100 Terraced Rice Fields in Japan" by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries.
In the terraced rice fields, from spring to summer, bright green rice plants fill the fields, while in autumn, golden rice ears cover the terraces, showing different expressions in each season. The traditional event "Mushiokuri" held in early July, where people with torches called "Hote" walk along the ridges of the terraced fields, is also a must-see.
Surrounded by the Senmaida rice fields, "Komame Shokudo" is a restaurant that conveys the traditional food resources of Shodoshima. Here, the popular "Terraced Rice Field Onigiri Set Meal" features rice harvested from the terraced fields and cooked with fresh spring water. It is recommended to enjoy the meal while overlooking the terraced rice fields.
The terraced rice fields are beautifully lined with rice plants.

The terraced rice fields and the art pieces complement each other beautifully. Feeling the gentle breeze in nature, it was so quiet I could only hear the bamboo swaying. It really calmed my mind.
The laid-back vibe and the lush green terraced fields dotted with little houses really help you forget all the stress and fatigue of city life.
One of Japan's top 100 terraced rice fields... Honestly, it's really nice 👍 Very peaceful vibe.
The terraced rice fields here are absolutely stunning and really drew me in. I was so surprised to see a piece by Taiwanese artist Wang Wen-Chih right among the terraces—so proud! Super cool!
