Ishibe Rice Terraces are located in the town of Matsuzaki, Shizuoka Prefecture, located at the western tip of the Izu Peninsula. The 370-sheet, 4.2-hectare rice paddies spread over an altitude of 120~250m are masonry terraced rice paddies that are rare in eastern Japan. It is a terraced rice field with a superb view overlooking Suruga Bay below, and on a clear day, you can see Mt. Fuji and the Southern Alps.

In 2000 (Heisei 12), the 4.2 ha terraced rice fields that had been abandoned for cultivation and covered with thatch were regenerated and used as a starting point for village revitalization. In 2010 (Heisei 22), the "16th National Terraced Rice Fields (Senmaida) Summit" was held.

A large area of the southern part of the Izu Peninsula, including Nishi-Izu and Minami-Izu, is made up of submarine volcanoes and volcanic islands that erupted before Izu collided with Honshu. Senganmon at the end of the promenade and Mt. Mt. Eboshi, which can be seen to the right of Senganmon, are part of the "volcanic root" (volcanic rock neck) where the "magma passage" that once existed under an undersea volcano appeared on the ground. Senganmon has a tunnel (Kaishokudo) carved by waves in the center of the rock, and its appearance that looks like a huge gate is likened to the gate of Kumomi Sengen Jinja Shrine at the top of Mt. Mt. Eboshi, and it was called "Sengenmon", but it is called "Senganmon" because it means that "it is worth seeing is also worth Senganmon". It came to be called.

Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property Iwashina School A school of sea cucumber walls and shrine-like architecture completed in Meiji 13 (1880). Incorporating the traditional architectural methods of Matsuzaki Town and Western architectural styles, it is known as the oldest school building in the Izu area as a masterpiece of wooden architecture. It is a two-story wooden hipped building, the building is symmetrical, and the exterior is a "sea cucumber wall". It is said that the plaque of "Iwashina School" displayed at the main entrance is the calligraphy of Sanjo Sanetomi, the minister of Taisei at the time, and the dragon on it is said to have been carved by Chohachi Irie by borrowing the "chisel" of the ridge beam. It is an impressive building with a Western-style design, and is known in Japan as the second oldest after the former Rikuzawa School in Kofu and the former Kaichi School in Matsumoto, and was designated as an important cultural property of Japan in Showa 50 (1975). In Matsuzaki, there was a high enthusiasm for the promotion of education in the village, and donations were collected for the construction of the school building, and more than 40% of the total construction cost was covered by donations.
