- Shiroyone Senmaida (A Thousand Rice Paddies in Shiroyone)
- Travel / Tourism
- Ishikawa Pref. Wajimashi Shiroyonemachi
- This nationally famous Shiroyone Town, Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture is a scenic spot where as many as 1,004 terraced rice paddies spread along the narrow steep slope between the national highway and the Sea of Japan., The layers of small rice fields continue to the coast, and the contrast of the green and blue is spectacular. The rice terraces, representative of the world agricultural heritage “Noto no Satoyama Satoumi,” are visited by many tourists. Because machines are unable to enter the fields, the rice is produced manually to the present day. There is a system where individuals can own their own rice paddy. In the winter, an illumination event, “Azeno Kirameki,” is held.

- "This wooden tower was built in the Noto Peninsula's Nanao Bay in Ishikawa Prefecture to catch striped mullet. Striped mullet are extremely wary; when standard fishing methods are used, they notice the presence of humans and flee for safety. Accordingly, people would wait on top of tall wooden towers and watch the movements of schools of striped mullet, pulling up a net placed in advance to catch the fish when the timing was right. Astronomer Percival Lowell wrote down this fishing feature on his book ""NOTO"". This style of fishing was abolished in 1966 and the population of striped mullet fishing since that time has dramatically declined; today, this tower stands as a monument and sightseeing destination."

Ishikawa Areas
Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.
