    Ehime Pref. Uwajimashi Yusu
    The mountainside to the summit has been transformed into a staircase of stacked rocks creating the Yusumizugaura stepped rice fields. The beauty of the cultivated land on the slope of the mountain can only be called a masterpiece. In 2007 the area was selected as a National Important Cultural Landscape.

    写真や、遠くからでは解りにくいがとても小さな石を精巧に積上げて作られた段々畑。収穫されるじゃがいもは、小さなコンベアーを転がって、運ぶそう。昔は子供が一人増える毎に食扶持を増やすために石段を一段増やしていったそうです。海からの照りつける太陽、直射日光、風が運んでくる太陽と3つの太陽からしっかりと栄養をもらい、この最高の景色で育ったじゃがいもをじゃがバターで頂きました!甘みがあり最高に美味しかった...

    Ehime Ozu-shi Nagahama Okiura

Stretched across the northwest corner of Shikoku island, Ehime is a nature-rich prefecture boasting beautiful coastlines and a rural center where mountains play host to 26 of the Buddhist temples that make up the Shikoku Pilgrimage. Matsuyama is home to an original post-feudal castle as well as Dogo Onsen, one of the country’s oldest natural hot springs. The northern city of Imabari marks the entrance to the Shimano Kaido, a road that crosses six spectacular bridges and several islands, forming a route between Shikoku and mainland Honshu.
