Overview
A thousand and four paddies stacked down to the sea, each too small for a machine and still worked by hand.
About this place
Shiroyone Senmaida is a terraced rice field in Shiroyone-machi, Wajima, Ishikawa Prefecture. The number of paddies was 1,004 before the damage from the Noto Peninsula Earthquake of 1 January 2024, and the on-site information board also states this. It spreads over a slope of about 4 hectares with an elevation difference of about 50 metres, about 8 km east of the central urban area of Wajima, overlooking the Sea of Japan. The beautiful landscape that seems to cascade down toward the Sea of Japan is also a tourist spot, and nearby is the Michi-no-Eki Senmaida Pocket Park.
