Shizuoka, Matsuzaki Tourism Association

A wide area of the southern Izu Peninsula, including Nishi-Izu and Minami-Izu, formed from submarine volcanoes and volcanic islands that erupted before Izu collided with the main island of Honshu. Senganmon, which lies at the end of a walking path, and Mt. Eboshi, seen to the right of Senganmon, are parts of a volcanic neck—the exposed "magma conduits" that once lay beneath submarine volcanoes. At Senganmon, a tunnel carved by the waves cuts through the center of the rock, forming a huge gate-like opening. Locals once likened this to the gate of Kumomi Sengen Shrine at the summit of Mt. Eboshi and called it Sengenmon, but it later became known as Senganmon, meaning it is worth a thousand kanme (an old measure of value), or "a gate worth a thousand coins."

Ishibu Rice Terraces lie at the western tip of the Izu Peninsula in Matsuzakicho, Shizuoka Prefecture. Spanning about 4.2 hectares and roughly 370 stone-walled rice paddies at elevations between 120 and 250 meters, these terraces are rare in eastern Japan. They offer sweeping views over Suruga Bay, and on clear days you can see Mount Fuji and the Southern Alps. In 2000, the 4.2-hectare terraced area, which had been abandoned and covered in pampas grass, was restored and used as a catalyst for revitalizing the local community. In 2010, the 16th National Satoyama (Terraced Rice Fields) Summit was held there.

Isehara Flower Report 2024.02.02 Plum Blossoms - Hinata Yakushi…starting to bloom - Sports Park…in full bloom - Maruyama Castle Ruins Park…in full bloom Under a chillier sky than yesterday, the red plum blossoms are proudly in full bloom. A beautiful weeping plum tree stands in the grounds of Hinata Yakushi, and its view beside the stone lanterns is very picturesque. There is a plum grove on the back hill. Small, charming white plum blossoms are beginning to appear here and there. I found plum trees on a slope inside the Sports Park. These are vivid pink red plums. Cherry trees surround them, making this a spot full of spring blooms. At Maruyama Castle Ruins Park, plum trees that appear over three meters tall line the area. Their overlapping petals are stunning. Some people were enjoying a stroll.

Rice fields in Niimi City, Okayama Prefecture. It is not rezoned, and it is not possible to mow all of it with a combine, so I mow it by hand. The children also mobilize to harvest rice with all three generations of relatives. It is also accustomed to use a sickle to reap, and two bunches are reaped in one pull. The harvested rice is bundled up and hung on a bamboo pole. The children are smiling and happily helping from beginning to end. Rice, delicious! And I eat a lot. Along with the scenery, I would like to preserve this traditional culture.
