Discover the breathtaking Sakaori Rice Terraces in Ena, Gifu Prefecture, a designated spot in Japan's 100 Most Beautiful Rice Terraces. These magnificent stone-built terraces, a testament to ancient ingenuity, offer stunning views, especially around June after planting and in September when the rice turns golden. While a small eatery is available, consider bringing a picnic to enjoy on benches overlooking the terraces. Access is best by car, and the observation point at the top provides well-maintained facilities, including restrooms. Volunteer guides are often available to share insights about the terraces, and seasonal events may be held.
