Fishing lights of squid fishing boats shine on the Sea of Japan at sunset.
In 1999, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) selected the Higashi Gobata area of Aburaya as one of the "100 Best Rice Terraces in Japan" among 134 rice terraces in 117 cities, towns, and villages in Japan. Terraced rice paddies are usually located in mountainous areas, but in this district, the hills on the peninsula are close to the coast, so the view of the Sea of Japan can be seen below.
