Overview

Located in Nakatsube, Aki-Ohta-cho, Yamagata-gun, Hiroshima Prefecture, Injin's rice terraces are the only rice terraces in Hiroshima Prefecture selected as one of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries' 'Top 100 Rice Terraces.' This breathtaking location is a masterpiece of history and nature. 324 terraced rice paddies, showcasing Edo-era farming techniques, cascade down the mountainside. Enjoy stunning seasonal views: a mirror of the sky reflecting in the spring paddy waters, lush green rice plants in summer, golden rice ears in autumn, and snowy landscapes in winter. The oldest stone walls date back to the Sengoku period (Warring States period). Unlike many Japanese rice terraces best viewed from above, Injin's terraces offer a magnificent panoramic view from below as well. The rice terrace viewpoint is also highly recommended. You can relax and enjoy a meal or break at the 'Tanada Cafe Iniminimanimo,' overlooking the terraces. Injin's rice terraces have even been featured in an ANA (All Nippon Airways) calendar. This location represents a place nurtured by nature, passed down from person to person, preserving its people's lives and culture to this day.
