Terraced Fields of Yusu Mizugaura The name Mizugaura in Uwajima, where the terraced fields, an important cultural landscape, are located, translates very roughly as “waterless coast”. Although everywhere you look, you are surrounded by the big blue sea, fresh water was since the Fme the people se[led here a scarce resource. Bucket by bucket they would carry it over long distances to their houses to survive. Not only water but also farmland was a limited here, where the steep coast offers you a splendid view over the area. So stone by stone the people of Mizugaura would build these terraced fields and day by day they would climb them up again and again with their buckets to irrigate the precious land. Times changed and many of the terraced fields disappeared, but here you can sFll climb up and imagine how the life of the people living here must have been and what character traits were necessary to survive in this beauFful but rough place.
