Shiroyone Senmaida is one of the most spectacular views in Ishikawa Prefecture. It is located in the northernmost part of Ishikawa, so it is difficult to access, but the spectacular view will make you forget your fatigue. 💖 [Points] ・The best part is being able to walk freely between the rice terraces! ・I was also fascinated by the sea and the rice terraces lit up by the sunset. 🤤 ・Shiroyone Senmaida has an owner system, so you can purchase a corner of the rice terraces! There were also names of celebrities and actresses on the rice terraces. 👀 [Season] ・During the rice planting season, the water begins to drain and you can enjoy the scenery reflected on the water surface. ・The rice terraces are usually lit up from October to late March. [Access] Cars are the norm, but there are also buses. ^_^ However, if you are planning to see the illuminations and visit Noto, we definitely recommend a car! #IshikawaTourism#IshikawaTrip #SpectacularView

Shiroyone Senmaida is a rice terrace located in Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture, and was registered as Japan's first Globally Important Agricultural Heritage site in 2011. It was named Senmaida because of the large number of rice fields, but in reality there are even more, and because cultivators cannot be used, everything is done by hand. There are also illuminations, so you can see the various aspects of the rice terraces throughout the year. In autumn, you can see harvested rice being dried. 📌Visited on October 5th #AutumnTrip #RiceTerraces #Ishikawa #AmazingView #Outdoors #Autumn #Senmaida

I saw a picture in a Japanese magazine and thought, oh my god, how can there be such exaggerated terraced fields? (I'm sorry, I have lived in the countryside and in the city, but I have never seen terraced fields. Please forgive my ignorance.) I did a lot of homework beforehand, but I don't speak Japanese and I don't understand anything at all! I could only speak English, but I charged forward anyway! In short, my 9-day trip was full of trivialities such as getting lost, finding the way, asking for directions, asking for hotels, etc. But I still succeeded! I went, ⬇️ Kanazawa Wajima Marin Tower White rice (Senmaida) Tsukada Kanazawa Station West Exit When I got to the airport (I forgot which airport, it's a bit complicated...), what I remember most was that I took: JR Hokuriku Main Line Limited Express Train Station Kanazawa JPY Pass Hokuriku Railway Wajima Express Wajima Marin Ticket JPY 610.2 You can queue up on site and buy tickets in advance. Hokuriku Railway Machino Yuki Shiraki (Senmaida) 500 JPY 135 Buy a discounted round trip ticket at the station. *Remember, you need to draw a "numbered ticket" to get on the bus Hokuriku Railway Wajima Station Yuki Tsukada JPY (return) Hokuriku Railway Wajima Express Kanazawa Station West Exit JPY You can queue up on site and buy your ticket first.

After all, I was traveling alone and handling things by myself, and many things were lost without backup data💾. I provide it for you friends to share! #JapanAdventure #A Solo Travel #Japan Terraces #Wajima City #The goal is great because of your persistence #make money #Travel Abroad #Dreamscometrue #Milestone #Japan🇯🇵 #recommend #What is amazing is your own life #GodGivesWisdom

Senmaida rice fields became famous in the morning drama "Mare." If you come to Ishikawa Prefecture, why not take a drive to Noto? It takes about 1.5 to 2 hours from Kanazawa! In the winter, it is lit up, like an illumination! It's perfect for a date! #breathtakingview #date #Ishikawa #SenmaidaRiceFields

I wanted to try out the morning market in Wajima on the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture, so I went. It seems like the number of shops has decreased due to COVID-19, which was a shame, but I managed to buy some dried fish, vegetables, and Wajima lacquer chopsticks. The chopsticks are inexpensive, so they make a great souvenir. I hope the morning market will become lively again. #retrotownscape #souvenir

This is a scenic spot with a 200-meter promenade along the rocks along the coast. Unfortunately, the sea was rough, and the waves were crashing onto the promenade, so I couldn't walk, but it seems there is a seawater pool, so I'd like to go back when the weather is good and the sea is calm. The road along the coastline to get there is a single road where you can't pass each other, so make sure there are no oncoming vehicles before proceeding. There is a parking lot. Address: Kamogaura, Wajimazaki-cho, Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture #Free Spot

An event held at the Sojiji Temple on the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture wagasairo Japanese Umbrella x Corridor This year's event will run from Saturday, November 6, 2021 to Thursday, March 31, 2022. The Japanese umbrellas are beautifully lit up. You can see them for just the 500 yen admission fee. Address 1-18 Monzen-cho Monzen-cho, Wajima-shi, Ishikawa Prefecture #Shrine

I went to the morning market in Wajima, Ishikawa Prefecture. It was my first morning market while staying in Wajima. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there were fewer shops than I expected, and it felt a bit lonely, but I was able to enjoy the atmosphere. Even so, it seems like more shops have returned than they were at one time, but I hope the pre-COVID vibrancy returns soon. #retrotownscape

#summervacay#tennojipark #tennojitemple #osaka #travel #staycation #thingstodo Tennoji Ward in Osaka offers more than just sightseeing—it invites reflection. Nestled within its sprawling grounds is a blend of sacred serenity and quiet charm. While admission is required to enter the pagoda, the surrounding park area remains open and free, providing a tranquil escape for both visitors and locals. The path winds through leafy corridors and past a shrine that gently guides you through the cleansing ritual—an introduction to spiritual etiquette that feels both symbolic and grounding. Lined up nearby are rows of tiny Buddha statues, each carrying a silent prayer, a soft echo of devotion placed by countless hands before mine. At one corner of the grounds stands a larger statue—earthy and unpolished, resembling a humble farmer. It feels less like a deity and more like a guardian of the everyday, reminding passersby that reverence can also wear simplicity. Tennoji isn’t just a place—it’s a rhythm. From the echo of footsteps in the open park to the hush of incense near the shrine, it draws you into a deeper awareness without ever raising its voice.

I wish I could have gone when it was a little greener, but it's pretty amazing! I imagine it must be hard to plant the rice. The view from above is the best. The sea was beautiful and the green of the Senmaida rice fields matched it perfectly. It's a place I'd like to visit again, as it has many different faces throughout the year. The roadside station Shiroyone Senmaida is located next to the station, and the rice balls I had there were also very delicious. The roadside station is currently temporarily closed, but the toilets are still available. I hope it will be possible to visit again as before. #0yentrip #ShiroyoneSenmaida #Ishikawatrip #NotoPeninsula #Travelwithme

The sand on this beach squeaks when you walk on it! It's proof that the sand is so clean! There's also a photogenic door, and the timing of the sunset is perfect! I went swimming on a Saturday and Sunday in late July, and there were very few people, so I had the area almost to myself! The beach is deep enough for adults to touch the ground with their feet, and it seems to continue all the way to the back, so if you have a swim ring, you can enjoy the waves too~☺️ Please go and check it out! Kotogahama Beach 📍Location: 699-2304 Oda City, Shimane Prefecture 🗓️Swimming season: Mid-July to mid-August 🚗Parking: Available, 50-60 cars (near the beach) 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: Sand washing area available

Finally, my dream to visit the Noto Peninsula has come true! Most of the Noto Peninsula belongs to Ishikawa Prefecture, with a southeastern part belonging to Toyama Prefecture. This area is known for its salt production🧂, so when driving along the coastline from Wajima towards Suzu🚗, you'll see many small salt-making factories. There is the 1200-year-old Wakura Onsen♨️, as well as mysterious seaside hotels beneath the cliffs; there are also delicious ice cream🍦 shops beside the country lanes, and family-friendly hand-painting experiences and aquariums, etc. Here are a few highly recommended spots to visit: Wajima Morning Market With a history of over a thousand years, the morning market offers fresh seafood, snacks, and locally famous lacquerware. Many of the vendors are elderly women, known for their character and spirit, where you can see the quaint and authentic side of Japan. Shiroyone Senmaida Known as 'Japan's original landscape,' it is a representative terraced field of the World Agricultural Heritage 'Noto's Satoyama and Satoumi.' In spring, you can see the beautiful reflection of the mirror-like water fields and the setting sun; in summer, the lush green rice fields merge with the blue sea🌊; and during the autumn harvest season, you can see the golden rice fields against the sea and sunset. Here you can also experience rice planting and harvesting. Rokugozaki Lighthouse Also known as the 'Beacon Lighthouse,' it is located at the tip of the Noto Peninsula. On clear days, you can see the Tateyama mountain range and Sado Island. There are also signs indicating the distance and direction to Tokyo, Shanghai, and Busan, making it a unique landmark. Amaharashi Coast Located in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, it has been selected as one of Japan's top 100 coastal spots. On clear days, you can view the 3000-meter-high Tateyama mountain range⛰️. If you want to see the snow-capped Tateyama range, it is recommended to visit from November to March, during the clear winter days. To see the sea fog, visit from late October to late February in the early morning (around 5 to 8 a.m. before and after sunrise). In 2014, Amaharashi Coast was also selected as a member of 'The Most Beautiful Bays in the World Club.' Ishikawa Prefecture's 'Chirihama' The beach stretches for about 8 kilometers and is the only beach in Japan where you can drive on the sand. There are only three such beaches in the world where driving is permitted, the other two being Daytona Beach in the United States and Waitarere Beach in New Zealand. The sand at Chirihama is fine and cohesive, making it very stable, so even large buses🚌 can drive on it without the risk of getting stuck. Except in bad weather, it is open all year round.

#thingstodo Shiroyone Senmaida is a scenic hillside of tiered rice paddies. Situated along the Noto Peninsula, these unusual fields were nationally designated a "Special Place of Scenic Beauty". Senmaida is most easily accessed by private vehicle or rental car. There is a limited express bus service from JR Kanazawa Station, however it requires some transfers and runs infrequently. There is a large parking lot located next to the rice fields and rest house. Expect traffic jams during busy seasons.

|Oku Noto Peninsula. The Noto Peninsula is located in the central part of the Hokuriku region of Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, where the land protrudes from the main island of Japan towards the Sea of Japan to form a peninsula, with many natural landscapes formed by the terrain. ① Rokugosaki Lighthouse is located at the northernmost point of the Noto Peninsula, built during the Meiji era, and has a history of more than 130 years. In the early morning, you can see the sunrise from the sea, and in the evening, you can see the sunset into the sea. 2 Kenzaki Island is located in Suzu City, Ishikawa Prefecture. The beach 'Koi Road Beach' from Kenzaki Island to Koi Road Beach is also a sight. There is also a bell on the beach that can bless love. ③ The 'Notojima Bridge' is 1050 meters long, with a beautiful curve like a wave, connecting Ishizaki Town, Nanao City, and Notojima Island surrounded by Nanao Bay. Not only can vehicles drive on the bridge, but people can also stroll on it. ④ Yoshipura Onsen Lamp Inn is a hot spring inn with a tile roof. About 50 oil lamps flicker in the inn, creating a fantastic scene. ⑤ The World Agricultural Heritage 'Shirami Senmaida' is located in Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture, and it is also selected as one of the top 100 terraced fields in Japan. You can see different beautiful scenery in all four seasons, and there will be lighting events after sunset. The beautiful night view is not to be missed. ⑥ Sohgen Brewery was founded in 1768 and is the oldest brewery in Noto. It is also one of the breweries that make high-quality sake in Oku Noto. The slightly sweet and elegant Sohgen pure rice sake, which tastes very refreshing after refrigeration, is very suitable for sashimi with soy sauce, and is a Japanese sake that Sohgen is proud of. ⑦ The Tarumi Waterfall is located on the edge of the Zenzonoki Coast, with a drop of about 35 meters, flowing down from the mountain wall all year round and never drying up. The Tarumi Waterfall, which flows directly into the sea from the mountain, is very rare and is one of the representative scenic spots of Wajima. ⑧ A campsite near the Hachiyo-zaki coast, two nights and three days for 5900 yen, spacious and clean, with places to bathe, wash clothes, and wash cooking utensils. I originally wanted to go to the nearby Tenbisubu Campground, I hope I can make a reservation next time! There are also the End of the World Coast, Ninety-nine Bay Trail, Seventeen Cliffs, etc., I didn't have time to go this time, I will definitely bring a camera next time, and go for two more days!! Although it is a niche tourist spot, it is also well protected because of its niche. There are few pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and it is very quiet.
