Based on the series of research projects started from “Noshonavi1000,” this paper discussed impacts and policy implications of smart farming technologies on rice production in Japan. Research framework and smart farming technologies in the project are illustrated. Many kinds of data on farming technologies were collected from large–scale advanced rice farms. This data set is used for empirical analyses of production efficiency determinants, production cost, as well as impacts of the aforementioned technologies on the farm. The results indicate that smart agriculture improves agricultural production efficiency through utilizing technical support such as data collection and mining. Furthermore, smart farming technologies have positive impacts on rice production in Japan. However, the results also reveal that more practical smart farming technologies may have larger impacts on real rice production than more advanced technologies. This implies that only appropriate technologies for real farms can contribute to agricultural innovation.
