Hi, I’m Tabi!

Yusuhara pairs Mishima Shrine and its covered approach bridge with the hillside rice terraces at Kanzaiko. Begin at the shrine entrance, and remember that the terraces are working farmland. Plan separate transport and avoid entering fields or farm tracks without permission.

This guide covers places within Yusuhara, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

01

A first-visit stop

Mishima Shrine

三嶋神社

A shrine approached by the covered wooden Shinkobashi bridge and associated with Tsunoyama kagura. A performance is not guaranteed on your visit. The shrine has no resident priest, so consult the tourist association’s current guidance for shrine seals.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

A first-visit stop

Kanzaiko Rice Terraces

神在居の千枚田

Terraced paddies layered along a mountain slope, shown in May 2026. Their appearance changes with the seasons and farm work. Respect farmland and private property, view from permitted roads, and ask the tourist association about suitable viewing points.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The Kanzaiko terraces reflect the area’s rice-growing landscape. If you would like to try local rice, ask shops or restaurants about origin and availability; the terraces do not establish where every restaurant sources its rice.
