Plateau Covered with Terraced Rice Paddies - The Hidden Village of Kozaki
The hamlet of Kozaki is home to a group of terraced rice paddies built from stone that date back over 400 years. Depending on the season, you can see either freshly planted, water-filled paddies, paddies filled with golden rice, or the local red spider lilies. The stone structures are very picturesque like Machu Picchu, earning it the name "the Machu Picchu of Misato."
