Kuroishi is a walkable town, and retains old townscapes from the Edo period, known as Komise Street. On this street, you can enjoy traditional buildings and the nostalgic atmosphere. Inakadate rice paddy art is a unique and impressive form of art created using rice paddies. Each year, the villagers plant different varieties of rice to create large-scale artworks that depict famous characters, historical scenes, or cultural motifs. This living art is best viewed from an elevated observation deck, where visitors can fully appreciate the intricate designs and vibrant colors.
