Shikamura Rice Terraces

The four districts of Toyomaki, Takinosawa, Numanotai, and Hirabayashi, located in the mountains of Okura Village, Yamagata Prefecture, are collectively known as Shikamura, or “four villages.”

The rice terraces of Shikamura span an area of approximately 120 hectares, making them the largest in the Tohoku region, and they have been selected as one of Japan’s 100 Best Rice Terraces.

The harsh climate and underground water from Mt. Gassan and Hayama further enhance the growth of the rice grown in the terraced fields.
