【Ishibe Rice Terraces】
The Ishibe Terraced Rice Fields are located on the western side of the Izu Peninsula at the tip of the Izu Peninsula, and there are about 370 rice paddies covering 4.2 hectares in an Elevation range of 120m~250m. It is a rare Masonry Traditional Japanese straw raincoat rice terrace in eastern Japan, where you can see Mt. Fuji and Southern Alps on a clear day with Suruga Bay overlooking Suruga Bay.
In the 1955 (Showa 30), there were about 1,000 terraced rice paddies with a total area of 10 ha, but with the changes in the era of high economic growth, most of them became fields.
In 2000 (Heisei 12), the terraced rice fields were restored as a regional treasure, and 4.2 hectares were revived.
This terraced rice field collapsed due to a sudden mountain tsunami during the late Edo period (1820s) during the Bunsei period, and was restored after 20 years of grueling work.
