There are still lots of terraced fields in the a mountain village of Shikoku Island. I went to see the piled stone terraced fields of the Misato village via the Kura pass from the south, Kamiyama-cho.The mountain pass has an incline of 16%. I made it over the steep slope without walking with the help of my binding-type pedals, but it was very slow going. The people piled up stones on the slope of the mountain and made small fields. It took several generations to make many terraced fields.

The mechanization advances at fields of level ground. However, the terraced fields are plowed up by human power.
