The "Yusu Mizunoura Terraced Fields," located on the Koshima Peninsula in Uwajima City, are stair-like fields boasting an overwhelming beauty, praised as "cultivating until reaching heaven" and designated as a National Important Cultural Landscape. The stone walls constructed meticulously on the steep slope layer tightly over each other like stairs toward heaven, creating a breathtaking contrast with the deep blue Uwa Sea spreading before your eyes. These terraced fields are a "living historical heritage" built by ancestors with blood-sweat efforts to survive on limited land, where potatoes are mainly cultivated today. Climbing the walking path continuing to the summit expands a moving, unique grand panorama where human wisdom beautifully merges with powerful great nature.
