市ノ瀬の河岸段丘

The River Terrace in Ichinose

市ノ瀬の河岸段丘/Ichinose no Kagandankyu

Details

This flat, elevated terrain along the Tonda River was originally the riverbed or riverbank. The area was shaped by river erosion into a flat expanse, but subsequent changes in the river’s course allowed the area to emerge as dry land. These geographical features are known as river terraces. Atop the terrace, there is a reservoir utilized for rice and fruit tree cultivation. It is also known that a prominent samurai from the Muromachi era (1336-1573) once had a residence here.
