The people of Tarama Island commuted across the sea to go to Hirakubo on Ishigaki Island to cultivate rice. Since this ricefield site is mentioned as a folklore in the "Miyako Island Articles" compiled in 1752, it is assumed that the time of rice cultivation goes back even further.

Note: There are signboards with arrows on the roadside, but it is not easy to reach the ruins from there, and cell phone reception is rather weak, so a map application that can be used offline is recommended when visiting this area.
