Nakayama Senmaida terraced rice field and rural kabuki theatre
We will visit Nakayama Senmaida (literally meaning 1000 sections of rice field), selected as one of the 100 best terraced rice fields in Japan. The terraced field sections are built with walls of rock from the island. Spring water from the top of Yufunesan mountain is used to irrigate the fields.
Also you do not want to miss a 300 year-old Rural Kabuki theatre, where the locals enjoy and celebrate the Kabuki plays once a year during the harvest time. The yearly Kabuki shows are performed by the local residents.

Mt. Doun Temple No.1 of the Shodoshima Sacred Pilgrimage Temple sites
This is the first sacred site of the 88 Shodoshima pilgrimage temples, where eminent priest Kukai visited 1200 years ago. The temple is located in a large cave near the top of Mt. Doun.
If you happen to visit the temple between June 1 and July 20, you may see a shadow of Kannon (Goddess of Mercy) appear on the cave walls, as the sunlight shines into the cave.

Mt. Goishi Temple No.2 of the Shodoshima Sacred Pilgrimage Temple sites
This temple was once a training site for monks. It is well known as being a challenging site to get to, due to its mountain location. The amazing nature view from this temple may leave you feeling humble and in awe as the monks did centuries ago and today.
The name of the mountain and this temple “Goishi” stems from surrounding marbled black and white stones, which resemble those stones used in the board game “Go”.
