Abstract
This study's objective was to find ways to conserve rice terraces while revitalizing the area based on cooperation of all parties involved. In the studied area, residents affirmed favoring renting fields to outsiders. Furthermore, an NPO whose main objective was the conservation of satoyama (cultural landscape) organized rice farming events in the area to raise public interest. Visitors mentioned varied enthusiasm for such projects depending on the time needed and the easiness of access to the terraces. Revitalization of the area while conserving rice terraces could be possible based on cooperation benefiting all parties with the NPO at the center.
