A beautiful terraced rice field built with stone walls in the mountains of Oku-Mikawa. This scenery, preserved for about 400 years by locals, is a work of art. Whether it's the season of reflecting water during planting or the golden harvest, it shows the powerful beauty of Japan's agricultural roots. The pure water from the mountains, clear air, and the harmony of human effort and nature offer a peaceful healing experience for all visitors.

Unlike flamboyant castles, it reproduces the simple yet powerful appearance of a "medieval castle," allowing you to feel the life and tension of ancient warriors. Surrounded by quiet mountains, the site deeply tells the history of Oku-Mikawa alongside seasonal nature.
