    An example of agricultural craftsmanship developed by life in a mountain village. Yusuhara-cho ranges from 220 to 1,455 meters above sea level. There is little flat land, so the farming there makes use of the mountain sides. Kanzaiko's Senmaida Rice Terraces get their name from the many rice fields rising up the slopes.

The largest of Shikoku’s prefectures, Kochi is endowed with some of the island’s most exceptional sand beaches lining the Pacific Ocean, which narrows into the Shimanto-gawa, a huge river that stretches 196 kilometers into the prefecture, passing verdant mountains and hosting countless riverside activities. Whether you’re a pilgrim or not, Kochi’s 16 Buddhist temples that make up one leg of the Shikoku Pilgrimage are worth a visit, particularly Chikurin-ji for its five-tier pagoda.
