As the sun rises, azure skies and madder-red clouds mirror in the water-filled paddies, creating a scene that embodies Japan’s ancient landscape. These ocean-facing terraces reveal the harmonious relationship between nature and human cultivation.
This sacred ground holds special significance as the birthplace of Shizuka Gozen (1168-1211, celebrated historical figure and tragic heroine of the late Heian period), where natural beauty and historical narrative interweave to deeply move all who visit.
Getting there: Located along Prefectural Road 665 connecting Hatchohama and Yuuhigaura Onsen (Sunset Bay Hot Springs). Shizuka Shrine, dedicated to Shizuka Gozen, stands nearby. Parking: Not available
