Motoyama Town, located in the northern part of Kochi Prefecture, is a rich mountain town wrapped in outdoor thrills and beautiful landscapes, embraced by the pure stream of the grand Yoshino River and rugged Shikoku Mountains. The biggest highlight is the "Yoshinobu Terraced Fields," globally famous as the "Terraced Fields in the Sky" layered tightly along the mountainsides at about 600 meters altitude, whose overwhelming sculptural beauty woven by traditional Japanese rice-growing culture fascinates international tourists. It also serves with high convenience as a base for authentic outdoor activities such as fierce rafting, kayaking, and mountain biking along the Yoshino River, packed in recent years with stylish glamping facilities. It is a place where you can be deeply healed by rugged yet gentle great nature's energy and rustic mountain village hospitality.
