Terraced Rice Paddies on the Sea of Japan (Senmaida 千枚田)
As mentioned a while back, we were able to make it to Ishikawa Ken (石川県) to visit Ryan’s homestay family. Actually, this turned into a second, mini-homestay for Ellie too as both kids stayed with Ojiichan.
Ojiichan took us on a wonderful drive all over the Noto Peninsula (能登半島). One of the many things we saw on that drive was Senmaida (or thousand rice paddies) which flow into the ocean, an amazing sight. During the summer the paddies are encircled in lights, but we didn’t stay around for the evening to see that spectacle.
