The agricultural landscape features 324 small rice fields arranged in a staircase pattern, covering 7.9 hectares at 500 meters above sea level.

The construction of the terraces began in the 14th century, with granite stone walls added during the late 16th century using castle building techniques.

The rice terraces represent traditional Japanese farming methods, with local farmers maintaining cultivation practices passed down through generations.

Visitors can reach the site by taking a streetcar from Hiroshima station to Kamiyacho-higashi, followed by an express bus to Togouchi-IC Bus Center.

The terraces transform seasonally, with water-filled paddies creating mirror effects in May and June, followed by green summer growth and golden autumn harvests.
