Enjoy the spectacular view of the Sea of Japan x terraced rice fields

May is the rice planting season. The Higashi Gohata terraced rice fields, selected as one of the "100 best terraced rice fields in Japan," are also being watered.

This spot offers a spectacular view of the Japan Sea at sunset and countless glowing fishing fires at the same time. Since it is close to Motonosumi Shrine and Senjojiki, why not make a round trip together?
