The history of “pearl farming” in the world begins in Ise-Shima, Japan. In 1890, Kakichi MITSUKURI, a professor at the University of Tokyo (who was taught at Keio University by Yukichi FUKUZAWA and entered the University South School, the predecessor of the University of Tokyo at the age of 15), and Kokichi MIKIMOTO, a merchant from the Shima region of Mie Prefecture. It seems that it goes back to the encounter with the founder of “Mikimoto”. The Uwa Sea, which stretches around Uwajima City and Ainan Town in Ehime Prefecture, is one of Japan's top pearl producing areas. In 2019, 41% of the national production of pearls will be produced in Ehime prefecture, making it the number one producer in Japan in both name and reality. Around 1907, a young man named Sakingo KONISHI, born in Uwajima, hired several ama from Mie and began harvesting natural pearls in the Uwa Sea. It seems that he was paying attention to the fact that the Pinctada that inhabit produce very beautiful pearls. Since he requested the prefecture to borrow a ama, it attracted a lot of attention, and since he started collecting pearl oysters and shellfish first, the prefecture issued a prefectural ordinance to ban the collection from the viewpoint of resource conservation. In 1909, he resigned from the Heijo branch manager due to the unpredictable damage of the bank due to the poor management of the bank and the unbridled business policy. This year, Hirayama's village headman, Michihisa Mifuji, former Misho village, and Sadakichi Nakao of Waguchi opened the “Konishi Pearl Farm” and signed a lease agreement with the Uchiumiura Fisheries Association in November of the same year. Work on pearl farming in earnest at Kizuna Hirayama.

I've been losing money since I was a kid with my parents' reckless-Generally, it is used as a word that a person may be found out and punished as a result of deceiving, lying, or cheating. It is often used to mean “I am suffering because of bad deeds I have done”, but in many cases, it means not only bad results but also good results. He says that the true meaning of “Retribution” is that he is taught that all the results he receives, good or bad, are created by his own driving force and actions. If this is understood correctly, there is no doubt that daily behavior will change and the suffering life will turn into a bright and enjoyable life. People are selfish creatures, and at such times, they want to blame the other person. Being aware that this is a mistake will make a lot of sense in the future. The law of action and reaction, newton's third law of motion, newton's third law, third law of motion is to be pushed back when pushed and pulled back when pulled. The two paired forces are usually of equal magnitude, opposite directions, and on the same line of action. From this principle, the law of momentum conservation is derived, and the force is worthy of the definition.

【Characteristic story】
JA is a nickname for agricultural cooperatives. The symbol mark is a design that combines the green alphabets J and A, and seems to represent the image of a solid earth and a bond between people. JA is a cooperative organized for the purpose of protecting and enhancing farmers' farming and livelihoods and building a better society in the spirit of mutual aid (the spirit of people's solidarity and mutual help). It is an organization established by gathering people (union members) and sharing money (investment). JA provides agricultural management / technical guidance and lifestyle advice, as well as joint purchase of production materials / living materials, joint sales of agricultural and livestock products, acceptance of savings, lending of agricultural production funds and living funds, and necessary for agricultural production and living. It seems that they are engaged in various businesses and activities such as setting up shared facilities and mutual aid in case of emergency. Furthermore, it seems that they are engaged in activities to strengthen ties with the local community, such as welfare activities for the elderly, farming experience learning for children, and farmers' markets. It seems that JA's membership qualifications include regular members (farmers) and associate members. For this reason, I heard that even non-farmers can obtain membership qualifications as associate members and use various businesses if they pay the investment according to the enrollment procedure stipulated by each JA. The citrus fruits that bloom and bear fruit in the steep hills of the warm southwestern Shikoku, where typhoons hit, are the result of strong family farming. The goal of the mechanism to support it was the postwar specialized agricultural cooperative. Quoted from “Uwa Fruit and Vegetable Agricultural Cooperative Eighty Years of History” written by this prestigious Citrus Agricultural Cooperative. What can be drawn from it is the inseparability of credit business and agricultural cooperative management. And it seems that the use of agricultural cooperatives by union members supports the management of agricultural cooperatives and creates resources for management. It is the practice of a wide range of general agricultural cooperatives that this has been operated as a self-evident reason. It is a well-known fact that the Heisei Agricultural Cooperative Wide Area Merger prior to the merger of cities, towns and villages was to prepare for financial liberalization. Today's issue is how to organize future financial business and agricultural cooperative management under the continuation of the ultra-low interest rate policy. There seems to be a good chance that the financial business-dependent business model of the Agricultural Cooperative will no longer work. How different is the agency fee from the current credit business profit? Considering the mechanism of the general agricultural cooperative, it is desirable to run the credit business concurrently. In order to expand the farming business, it is necessary to maintain a mechanism that can contribute to the financing of farmers. I heard that the “Tachima Citrus Sales Association” was established by producers in the former Tachima Village in Kitauwa District in 1919, and the Uwa Citrus Industry Association was established in 1914. After that, in 1929, the Uwa Mandarin Sales and Purchasing Association was established. The following year, “Uwa Mandarin Sales Tokyo Business Trip Worker” was dispatched to Tokyo. The Uwa Mandarin Industry Association has achieved production guidance and improved the spread of shipping sorting standards, but it seems that it did not change the transaction form between producers and merchants in the production area. He says that the union organization was a mixture of producers and merchants. Even after the establishment of this union, it seems that the merchants were in control of dealings with the central market. Following the establishment of the sales and purchase association, there was a fierce battle between producers and merchants toward the revision of the articles of incorporation of the trade association, and as a result, I heard that all the tangerines of the trade association will be sold on consignment through the sales and purchase association. There is. During this time, political intervention seems to have been unreasonable. The difference between general agricultural cooperatives and specialized agricultural cooperatives. The financial management of the agricultural cooperative itself guarantees the permanence of the operation, and when the agricultural cooperative law was enacted in 1947, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry was asked what the necessity should be for the credit business and the associate membership system of the single cooperative. Going forward, the JA jurisdiction is centered on urbanized areas, and is formed of a wide variety of terrain, from coastal fishing village areas to mountainous complex agricultural areas, on April 1, 1997. Seven JAs (1 city, 9 towns and 2 villages) in the Uwajima area merged, and JA Ehimeminami, the largest in the Nanyo area of ​​Ehime prefecture, launched with the catchphrase “Treasure contact and nurture with you.” From the perspective of next-generation measures, we are working to create a place for agricultural experience in order to convey the importance of agriculture, food safety and security to children. In addition, children are proud of their hometown and agriculture and aim to foster a rich heart. Uwajima City, Ehime Prefecture, Located in the southwestern part of the prefecture. Seiyo City in the north, Kihoku Town and Matsuno Town in the east, and Ainan Town in the south. Next to it, it borders Sukumo City and Shimanto City, Kochi Prefecture.

Urban areas and settlements are scattered in the coastal plains and inland basins. Most of the rivers flow into the Uwa Sea. Above all, the Mima River joins the clear stream Shimanto River and flows to Kochi Prefecture. The east and west including the manned island is 38.15 km, the north and south is 34.94 km, and the area is 468.19 km2. Forests account for about 70% of the total.The climate is located between the Setouchi area and the Pacific coast area. The average annual temperature is 16 to 17 ° C, which is warm throughout the four seasons, and precipitation is high in the summer. It is said that it may exceed 2,500 mm per year in the year when the influence of the rainy season front and the passage of typhoons are frequent. The west side faces the Bungo Channel, and the east side is lined with 1,000 m-class monsoons, so the northwest monsoon blows in winter. Differences in temperature and precipitation can be seen between the coastal areas and mountainous areas, and the mountainous areas have various climates with snow and freezing. “Kihoku Town, Kitauwa District”, Located in the southwestern part of the prefecture. One town and one village in the former Hiromi Town and the former Hiyoshi Village:Merged in January 2005. The east borders Yusuhara Town and Shimanto Town in Kochi Prefecture.

It has been additionally designated as the Uwakai area and the Marine Park area. It became a national park in 1972. A major feature is the varied landscape consisting of the coastal area including islands in the southwestern part of shikoku and the mountains in the inland area at an altitude of 1,000 m. In the Ashizuri area, cliffs with developed marine terraces continue, and subtropical marine life and coral communities benefiting from the Kuroshio Current can be seen. The Uwakai area is attractive for its delicate coves and island landscapes on the subsidence coast. You can enjoy the beautiful underwater scenery centered on soft coral(Among the animals that grow by preying on plankton in the sea with polyps as a member of coral, it is a soft object unlike reef-building coral.). In the inland area, natural forests such as giant trees such as Sciadopity, cryptomeria japonica, and Japanese cypress are left behind. It seems that you can see the vertical distribution of vegetation from warm temperate to cool temperate. Nametoko valley upstream of the Shimanto River: A series of waterfalls represented by the smooth riverbed of granite and the Yukiwa Falls. The shore forests such as Quercus salicina and Machilus thunbergii are beautiful and attract tourists.). Blessed with tourism resources based on abundant nature. “Matsuno Town, Kitauwa District”, It is located in the southwestern part of the prefecture and in the eastern part of Kitauwa District.

In addition, it seems that the sugar content and taste are condensed by controlling the water content by cultivating in a house and covering the field with a mulch sheet.

Cultivation takes time. Because the skin is thin, it is easily damaged when hit by rain, and it is also vulnerable to pests. I heard that house cultivation is essential for raising a lady.  Ehime Prefecture is also active in expanding production and marketing of Beni Madonna. As early as 2006, the year after its birth, it was certified as a brand with “love”, which is a recommended product of the prefecture. The Prefectural Brand Strategy Division encouraged TV stations and information magazines in the metropolitan area to appeal to them and to adopt them at famous sweets stores.

Beni Madonna is harvested for only a few weeks in December. Due to the small amount of production and shipment, it is a very rare variety, and it is said that it is rarely distributed to eastern Japan, so it is a very rare mandarin orange that can only be tasted in a very short period of time.
There is love in Ehime prefecture! The flesh is full of sweetness, the sac membrane that wraps the flesh is soft, and it can be eaten as a bag, so it is a citrus that is loved by a wide range of age groups from children to the elderly.

From 1658 to 1661 in the early Edo period, PAPERMAKING technology was brought back from Yoshino and technical techniques were established in order to effectively utilize the native Broussonetia kazinoki × Broussonetia papyrifera. At its peak, about 400 paper plow shops lined up and were useful as materials for Japanese umbrellas and fan. However, due to the spread of Western umbrellas and the damage caused by the 1953 Kishu flood, it was in danger of being abolished in the 1955s. It seems that the “Elderly Production Activity Center (currently Experience Exchange Studio Warashi)” was opened in 1979 and revived. Currently, there are orders from temples and calligraphers, and it is said that it was used as a certificate of commendation at the 2015 “Kinokuni Wakayama National Athletic Meet”.

A literary person who opened the door to the dynasty literature “The Tale of Genji (Heian period classic)”: Born in 1884 in Toyajo(A fossil of a large animal bone was discovered in February 2006. As a result of a joint survey between the Wakayama Prefectural Museum of Natural Sciences and Kyoto University after being contacted by the discoverer, it seems that several tens of centimeters square rocks containing bone fossils could be collected. They were later revealed to be Mosasaurus fossils. Reptiles, Squamata, Lepidosauria. Habitat (discovery site): Europe (Netherlands), North America, Japan (Hokkaido, Osaka, Wakayama). 79 million to 65 million years ago (late Cretaceous), total length 12.5 to 18 m.) Village (currently Aridagawa Town). After graduating from Wakayama Normal School in 1905, she became an elementary school teacher and then a teacher at Arida High School for Girls. Eita KITAYAMA is reported to have dreamed of creating a dictionary of Genji Monogatari, which no one can start yet, while reading Genji Monogatari. In her diary on August 6, 1924, she wrote, The study of her life is determined by the Genji story, and even in the seminar, “I will definitely spend my life in the Genji story.” “Complete the dictionary of”, he said in his passionate heart. She decided to leave Arida High School for Girls in 1932, went to Tokyo and struck the gates of experts including Chikara IGARASHI and asked for opinions, but “It is impossible to tackle the esoteric Genji story alone. It's better to be done.” However, Eita's heart was firmly poured into her heart and blood 10 years later, the manuscript was completed in 1942, and it was published by Toyama Bo in Tokyo, but as the war became fierce, the publication was canceled due to lack of supplies. It seems that it has become. However, after 13 years and 4 months, in 1957, a telegram saying “I undertook publishing” finally arrived, and the first dictionary of Genji Monogatari was born in Japan. It seems that it became. After that, her research continued, and she wrote many books such as “New Interpretation of Genji Monogatari”, “New Research of Genji Monogatari”, “Language of Genji Monogatari”, “Genji Monogatari and I”, and “Three Questions of Genji Monogatari”. Presentation.

【Product name】
Morishige satsuma mandarin, Arida Mikan
【Type】
Citrus unshiu
【Producing Area】
Kashiko, Aridagawa Town, Arida District, Wakayama Prefecture (Mori Shige Farm)
【Derived from the name】
It is said that the origin is that Mr. Magoemon ITO, which was commissioned by the Kishu Domain in Nakaban, Itoga Town, Arida City, started cultivation.
【Major features】
On January 1, 2006, the former Kibi Town, Kanaya Town, and Shimizu Town merged to form Aridagawa Town, Arida District, Wakayama Prefecture. The town is located almost in the center of Wakayama prefecture, and has an elongated shape from east to west. The Aridagawa River, which originates from Mt. Koya, meanders westward in the center of the town, creating abundant nature and industry. It seems that the development of the historic area began with the opening of the Koya Arida Highway when Kukai(He is known as the founder of the Shingon sect.  He is sometimes referred to as Kobo Daishi. He traveled to Tang (China) as a mission to Tang, studied esoteric Buddhism, and after returning to Japan, preached the teachings of Shingon esoteric Buddhism in Japan and founded the famous Shingon sect. There are various denominations in “Shingon Buddhism”. Even if you count only the main denominations, it seems that you can actually count as many as 18 types. Attainment of Buddhahood during life: In Buddhism, human beings have the ultimate enlightenment and become Buddhahood as they are. It seems that it is established in Kukai's “Immediately grown Buddha” in the doctrine of Shingon Esoteric Buddhism. In order to open it, it is necessary to practice more than a certain amount of rigor and break the boundaries of daily life. Especially in the esoteric Buddhism such as Tendai and Mantra and the sect of mountain worship, it seems that itinerant Buddhist monk is also a death-conscious training in white costume. I hear that the entertainment of Buddhahood during life will be realized when the true form of Dainichi Nyorai and the practitioners are united. Repeated life and death many times to practice Buddhism (countless kalpas of practices to reach enlightenmment in Buddhism), escape the lost life of nine realms and reach the border of Buddhism.)opened Mt. Koya, and has formed an integrated living area along the Arida River. The climate belongs to the Setouchi climate zone and the Nankai climate zone, and although there seems to be some differences in weather conditions between the plains and mountains, I hear that they are blessed with a relatively warm climate. Looking at the industrial structure by the number of workers by industry major category, the primary industry accounts for more than 30% of the total, and it is famous as an area where agriculture and forestry play an extremely high role. In addition, the proportion of the tertiary industry seems to be far below the prefectural total. Aridagawa Town has been known nationwide as a production center for high-quality oranges. A mandarin orange tree that can be said to be a symbol of the town. The dark green leaves and the orange color that grows on the ground are the colors of blessings from the sun. Cosmos is a flower that represents autumn. Early ones seem to start blooming during the summer. It blooms lovely and pretty flowers such as red, light pink, and dark pink. The town bird, varied tit, is a resident bird that is preferred for temperate evergreen broad-leaved forests nationwide. The total length is about 14 cm, the head is black, and the face and back of the head are cream-colored. The wings and tail are bluish gray with a reddish-brown belly. The area around Aragi Island, which is an important cultural landscape selected by the country, is one of the few areas in Japan where river terraces are relatively wide, even though it is located in a mountainous area. Among them, the symmetrical river terrace topography like Aragi Island is extremely rare, and as a result of the newly reclaimed rice field development in the early Edo period and the formation of curved ridges along the natural topography, terraced, which is rare nationwide. It seems that the paddy field landscape was created. In addition, the rich natural environment in which precious animals and plants such as the Japanese wrinkled frog, the Japanese fire belly newt, the Japanese fire belly newt (a semi-endangered species in Wakayama prefecture: Japan's smallest mouse harvest mouse nest (quasi-endangered species in Wakayama prefecture) Polytremis pellucida (endangered species 2 in Wakayama prefecture)), and hay, which once existed in mountainous rice fields, grow is maintained. , Seems to increase the value of the landscape. It seems that people started living in this area as far back as the late Jomon period, about 4,000 years ago. The 1042 Koyasan document reveals the names of places around Aragi Island, and it seems that the development of paddy fields dates back to the late Heian period. During the Kamakura period, this area was a manor called Ategawa no Villa, and in a traumatic katakana writing such as “Mimiwo Kiri, Hanawoso ...” It is the area where it was written. This document has been featured in many textbooks and is known as one of the famous medieval manors in the history of Japan. , Opening a waterway of 3 km or more by drawing water from the Yukawa River, which is a tributary of the Tagawa, developing a newly reclaimed rice field including Aragi Island, and the Yasuda Paper newspaper (Kishu Tokugawa family's first feudal lord Tokugawa) The production of handmade Japanese paper representing Wakayama Prefecture, which has a history of more than 350 years and started full-scale production at the behest of Lord of the Manor, was promoted, but there may be historical materials that can identify the development process and age. It seems to be of high value. It is said that the main livelihood of the region is mainly agriculture, forestry, mountain work such as Shuro bark fiber production, and various side businesses such as sericulture, papermaking, and charcoal grilling. Among them, the production of Yasuda Paper was an industry that took advantage of the abundant water and the climatic conditions of this region where fog is likely to occur, and was a valuable source of income mainly for women's work. Palms planted on the ridges and hem of rice fields, mulberry, which is the raw material for Japanese paper, and basho, which is used as the rolled leaves of sushi, seem to be important elements that characterize the landscape of this region. The cultural landscape centered on Aragi Island has a limited number of places to view the landscape, and the landscape viewed from the observatory is said to be a “middle landscape” overlooking with a certain distance. The island is a small group of terraced rice fields with a unique fan shape, and there are various elements such as mountains, rivers, and villages in the surrounding area, so that you can enjoy a panoramic view of the rural landscape. Aragi Island: It is said that the tongue-shaped river terrace topography formed by the erosion of the Arida River was converted into paddy fields, creating a characteristic terraced rice field landscape. It is one of the newly reclaimed rice field developments carried out by Sadayu KASAMATSU, and it is a rare case where the development date of 1655 can be identified from the historical materials of ancient documents, and it seems to have high historical value. The rice terraces on the river side flowed out due to the great flood in 1953, and it is said that it became the current shape due to the subsequent reconstruction of agricultural land. In 1996, he received the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award at the 4th “Beautiful Japanese Village Landscape Contest” and was selected as one of the “100 Best Rice Terraces in Japan” in 1999. It seems that cultivation is being carried out mainly by the “Aragi Island Landscape Conservation and Preservation Society,” which consists of six farmers. Registered as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System for a sustainable agricultural and forestry system that connects Mt. Koya, a sacred place, and the upper reaches of the Aridagawa River : “Sustainable agriculture and forestry system connecting Sanctuary Koyasan and the upper reaches of the Aridagawa River”, which was applied for certification in July 2020, has been certified as a Japanese agricultural heritage. Maintained more than 100 wooden temples on Mt. Koya, a sanctuary on the mountain where it is difficult to procure supplies. “Rokugi Takano (Sciadopitys verticillata, Sciadopitys verticillata Sciadopitys, Pinus densiflora, Chamaecyparis obtusa, Abies firma, Tsuga sieboldii) system.” While focusing on agriculture and forestry, the core is “cultivation of Buddha flowers using slopes” in the flower garden area that has developed along with Mt. Koya and “cultivation and cultivation of various plants using the ridges of rice terraces” in the Shimizu area. Agriculture and forestry system. In summary, agricultural heritage is a combination of the unique traditional agriculture, forestry and fisheries industry that has been passed down for generations, and the culture, landscape and agricultural biodiversity that have been nurtured in connection with it. A system that certifies areas that operate the world's most important traditional agriculture, forestry and fisheries. In Arida mandarin, “Tamura mandarin” and “Shindo mandarin” are highly recognized as luxury brands, but high quality Arida mandarin “Minamibiro mandarin” grown in the blessed climate and climate facing Kii Chanel is also available. It is recommended. Wakayama Prefecture is one of the best mandarin orange producing areas in Japan. Among them, mandarin oranges have been cultivated in Arida for a long time. Its history is 450 years. The Arida region has a warm climate and little rain throughout the year. Mountains are lined up on the left and right of the Aridagawa River, and terraced fields using steep slopes with good drainage are said to spread. Fields spread out in the mountains along the coast, and many tangerine trees sway in the warm sea breeze from the sea. Most of the mandarin orange gardens on the slopes seem to be stone wall staircase type fields. Stone wall seems to have a heat insulating effect, a drainage effect, and a light reflection effect. Not only in the mountains but also in the flatlands, there are many houses with mandarin orange fields right next to them, and it seems that everywhere you look, they are full of mandarin oranges. It is blessed with favorable conditions such as low rainfall, good drainage, many steep slopes exposed to the sun, and warm sea breeze from the sea. It goes without saying that it has taken root as a special product loved by many people since ancient times. Arida mandarin oranges produced in the land of Wakayama are blessed with the sea, mountains and the sun, and their most distinctive feature is their tightly concentrated sweetness. On October 27, 2006, the Japan Patent Office announced the first certification of the regional collective trademark system (a system that eases brand development consisting of “Regional name + Product name”). The application for “Arida Satsuma oranges” was also included in it, and it was later recognized as a regional collective trademark on November 10th. In the production area, the peel of mandarin oranges, which was usually green, gradually turns orange around September. It seems that oranges can be roughly divided into Goku Wase oranges, Wase oranges, Nakate oranges and Okute oranges depending on the shipping time. Goku Wase oranges will be shipped in the fall, and Wase oranges, Nakate oranges, and Okute oranges are expected to be harvested and shipped in that order. December is the busiest, and shipments seem to continue until mid-January. ARIDA Satsuma Mandarin Orange -Citrus kinokuni (species of mandarin orange) -It has been known all over the country for a long time as the home. Citrus accounts for more than 95% of the city's agricultural production, most of which is Citrus Unshiu, Satsuma Orange. Don't miss the two representative varieties of delicious oranges.), and its deliciousness makes it popular with consumers, and its stable supply is well received by market participants and consumers. I talk about history. One tachibana naturally grew in Kanda Pond in Itoga Town in the city during the Eikyo era (1429-1440). Every year many another to produce a crop, Satsuma mandarin oranges because the taste was sweet like elaborate. Tensho 2 (1574) Itoga's village headman (esp. in the Kansai region) Mr. magoemon ito brought back two small mandarin oranges saplings from Higo yatsushiro at the behest of Kishu Hou (surname). Blessed climate, farmers' efforts, and strict quality control at the time of shipment. The foundation of mandarin oranges kingdom was built by the hard-working (industry)of farmers. The fishing industry is very active, and the amount of landed coastal fisheries is the highest in Wakayama prefecture. Hairtail, shirasu, horse mackerel(Trachurus japonicus Temminck et Schelegel, 1844), mackerel, red sea bream(porgy: Pagrus major (Temminck et Schlegel, 1843)), wakame(Undaria pinnatifida (Harvey) Suringar), green laver(enteromorpha: Ulva prolifera O. F. Müller, 1778)are abundant, especially hairtail(It is made of white fish and is chewy when made into sashimi, soft when boiled, and has a light taste.)is the best in the country. Let's move on from the bragging story. With an area of ​​about 37 km2, it is blessed with nature of sea, mountain and river, and the Arida River, which flows into the Kii water supply from sacred mountain Koya , is a mother-river. It corresponds to the connection zone with the Seto Inland Sea Climate Zone and the Nankai Climate Zone. I hear that the average annual temperature is as warm as 16 degrees Celsius, the average annual rainfall is about 1,600 mm, and snow cover is rare. In addition to Satsuma mandarin oranges, the main industry is famous for manufacturing fish, oil, and other local industries such as mosquito coils and work gloves. On May 1, 1956, Arida Town, Arida county enforced the city system and became Arida City. Merged with Hatsushima Town in 1958. There are also five fishermen's associations in the City. Bottom fishing, set net fishing, single fishing, gill net fishing, etc. There are abundant fish species to be landed, and they are mainly shipped to Keihanshin. A part of the northern coastal industrial area of ​​the prefecture at the mouth of the right bank of the Arida River: In addition to petroleum refining, there are electric wires, cables, can-manufacturing, and shipbuilding industry. Also, as a local industry, there is a manufacturing factory for working gloves and mosquito coils. Ask me to say it again. The city boasts a scenic tourist destination with citrus cultivation and a beautiful coastline. Arida River used to be Mikan's Export boat flight. It seems that it is now highly used as agricultural and industrial water. The flat areas on both banks are fertile and the cultivated land is well organized. In the past, rice wheat, pyrethrum, papaver, etc. were cultivated. Mostly converted in recent years, MIKAN and some paddy rice and some green cultivation is carried out in the beach sand area. Palaeozoic strata - A rock formation as a species of the Mikabuo system. It has abundant water retention, good drainage and breathability, and is suitable for cultivation. Wakayama Prefecture announced on February 19, 2021 : Japanese Agricultural Heritage - “Sacred Land; Sustainable Agriculture and Forestry System Connecting Mt. Koya and the Upper Arida River” and “Arida Mandarin System that laid the foundation for mandarin orange cultivation” The prefecture has been certified in 3 areas including the Shimotsu area in Kainan City. For the first time in Japan, a sustainable agriculture and forestry system that has developed mandarin orange cultivation as a means of livelihood, enabled sustainable development, and developed the region into the number one mandarin orange producing area in Japan. Industrialization of mandarin orange cultivation: Cultivated native oranges from the Muromachi era, introduced small oranges from Kumamoto prefecture in the Azuchi-Momoyama era, and repeatedly selected excellent strains to cultivate “Kishu oranges” Industrialization of orange cultivation. Discovery and cultivation of: Discover many excellent varieties with high observing power, and produce “second grade, soiled seedlings” that meet the needs of farmers by working side by side with mandarin orange cultivation. Cultivation according to geography and geology: Geography and geology Cultivation that “utilizes the strengths and overcomes the weaknesses” according to the combination of Currently, various shipping organizations coexist. The Arida region, which has continued sustainable development through the Arida orange system, has established the regional brand “Arida oranges” that represents Japan and will be the production center that boasts the highest production volume in Japan. At the same time, it drives the development of other production areas.

Sandwich-type castle town: Shioya slope and Suya slope, these two slopes are connected in a straight line so as to face each other across Tanimachi street. The samurai, who set up Kitsuki Castle as the center and set up a mansion on each slope and on the high ground in the north and south, lived across the town of merchants who trade in the chasm. The slope, which is worth visiting as a precious scenery, is an impayable heritage where you can see the lives of samurai and townspeople in the Edo period and the state of this town more than the scenery. An irreplaceable property of Japan that is loved by the community.

Before the Edo period, Bungo whole country, which includes most of Oita prefecture, was the territory of Mr. Otomo, and Kitsuki was ruled by his vassal, Mr. Kitsuki. However, in 1593, Mr. Otomo was chased by Hideyoshi Toyotomi after Bungo, and Mr. Kitsuki also disappeared. Approximately 420,000 thousand koku in Bungo will be shredded by about 10 Toyotomi daimyo. This seems to be due to the geographical importance of being the contact point between Kyushu and Setouchi. It will be inherited by the Edo Shogunate after that. After passing through Sekigahara, while changing the lord, it is occupied in small pieces and is crowded with 20,000 to 70,000 thousand koku. It is said that it was not ruled by one influential daimyo, but was consolidated by many Tokugawa-like daimyo (successive generations) and shogunate control. At the beginning of the Edo period, Kitsuki was ruled by Mr. Hosokawa before he moved to Higo. It is reported that chamberlain was Mr. Matsui. After that, after passing through Mr. Ogasawara, who is close to Mr. Tokugawa, it seems that one of the twelve Matsudaira, “Mr. Nomi Matsudaira,” who is also close to Mr. Tokugawa, ruled after 1645.

It is cultivated in Kitsuki City, Kunisaki City, Tsukumi City, Saiki City, etc., and it seems that it is the first to deliver to consumers nationwide, taking advantage of the climate blessed with a warm climate. “Road Station Nakatsu” in Nakatsu City, which handles JA Oita's special products, is a complex type exchange base that can be used for various purposes. It seems that it has five types of facilities that condense the charm of Nakatsu. It is one of the largest direct sales offices for agricultural products in the roadside station in the prefecture, and seems to have a wide range of vegetables, fruits, flowers, livestock products, and marine products from Nakatsu. A series of scandals Is JA Oita's former executives illegally receiving national grants? JA Oita's Chairman of the Business Administration Committee, Yukichi Kabemura, said, “I deeply apologize to all the people involved for this scandal. I would like to make efforts to implement certain recurrence prevention measures.” Improvement of the internal situation of the organization is promoted. Oita Prefecture , Located in the northeastern part of Kyushu. With a total area of ​​6,338 km2, it covers 119 km east-west and 106 km north-south. Because the topography and geology are complex and diverse, it nurtures abundant nature. Kyushu roof: The mountains of Yufu / Tsurumi and Sobo / Katamuki, including the Kuju Mountains(At the foot of the mountain, the Kuju Plateau and Iida Plateau, which cover about 4,000 ha, spread out with a magnificent view.), are connected, and about 70% of the prefecture's land is occupied by forests. The water flows from the mountain system are the Chikugo and Yamakuni rivers. In addition, the Oita, Ono, and Banzho rivers are the main rivers, providing abundant water resources. The Kirishima volcanic belt runs from north to south of the prefecture, and the Hakusan volcanic belt runs from north to south. The number of hot springs and the amount of hot springs are the highest in Japan. There are eight types of spring qualities, and the appeal is transmitted both domestically and internationally. The coastline has a total length of 758 km, and the northern part faces Suo Nada and is a shallow coast. The southern part faces the Bungo Channel, is rich in rias coastline, and is blessed with abundant marine resources. Looking at the geological structure, it is divided into 4 districts. The Ryoke belt from the northern part to the central part of the prefecture, and the Sanbagawa belt on the Saganoseki Peninsula sandwiched between the Chichibu belts(zone)to the south. Furthermore, the Shimanto belt runs to the south. The Ryoke belt consists mainly of Mesozoic granite and thermometamorphic paleozoic formations. The Chichibu belt is a geosyncline sediment from the Paleozoic to the Mesozoic. Sanbagawa belt(zone): It consists of the sanbagawa metamorphite and the Cretaceous Ono river group. The Shimanto belt is from the shallow marine sediment of the Mesozoic era. Basis - In the ryoke band, the usa group after Neogene (Propirite). Strata represented by the Yabakei layer (volcanic rocks) and Oita group (sediments) are distributed. The Sekinan layer group(A product of Setouchi volcanic activity in the late Miocene of the Neogene.)is distributed in the Chichibu and Shimanto belts. Volcanic rocks erupted from Aso volcano in the Quaternary can be seen here and there throughout the prefecture. Various things are distributed both in terms of time and classification, and each has many characteristics. Honorary Citizen - Mr. Sadayoshi Hitotsumatu; Donated a private residence to the city. Kitsuki City, It is located in the northeastern part of the prefecture and in the southern part of the Kunisaki Peninsula. It covers an area of ​​about 29 km east-west, about 23 km north-south, and a total area of ​​280.03 km2. It occupies about 4.4% of the prefecture area (6,338 km2). The terrain is rich in variety, from the coastal area facing Beppu Bay to the mountainous areas. Close to Beppu City and Oita City via Oita airport to the east and Hiji Town to the south. The north is adjacent to Usa City. Flower - Calanthe discolor w - Lindl. (1838): Orchidaceae - It is a perennial plant that grows naturally in mountains and bamboo grove, and its rhizomes have many nodes and crawl in a beaded shape. The shrimp is named after a series of shapes that curl up the back. The leaves are oblong, dark green with vertical folds, racemes, and various flower colors. Many people in the city are cultivated for ornamental purposes because they are elegant and have beautiful flowers. The Calanthe discolor festival held in May is a great success every year, and the marathon(malathion)is famous all over the country. City tree - Bungo plum(Prunus mume var. bungo - Fruits of the Yabai line are small in size but the edible species of the Bungo line (also called the Higo line) have become larger through crossbreeding with the apricot. There are more than 300 different kinds of Japanese plum trees, which are classified in to three lines: the Yabai, the Kobai and the Bungo.): It is a deciduous tree of the genus Plum of the Rosaceae family and has been loved by Japanese people since ancient times. The Bungo-based “Bungo plum” blooms pink flowers in early spring. The fruit was candied by the Matsudaira clan, the lord of Kitsuki, in the Edo period and presented to the shogun. Since it was a gift and the beautiful large flowers of Yae bloom, it is planted in various parts of the city for harvesting and ornamental purposes. Familiar with the citizens and has a long history. Benefit from the warm climate peculiar to the Setouchi style. The annual rainfall is very high, and it tends to rain well even in the driest season. As for the educational environment, there are 3 junior high schools and 10 elementary schools, including Kitsuki High School, which has a history of more than 100 years. In addition, nursery schools are set up in each area, and there are no waiting children. It's a wonderful environment. In addition to the “cheap land” that is characteristic of local cities, we have developed an industrial park that can be located immediately. By using the preferential treatment system, it is possible to locate at a lower cost. Miko; Amakusa Orange: A specialty brand of the Oita Central Citrus Union.

(T-378: “Kiyomi Orange” × Wase Okitsu). T-378: “Kiyomi Orange” × “Wase Okitsu”) is a crossed seedling crossed with “page orange”, the skin color is red-orange, the fruit surface is smooth and the skin is thin, and the fruit weight is about 200 g. It is a citrus fruit that can be harvested from the end of December in the breeding ground (Kuchinotsu Town, Minamitakagi District, Nagasaki Prefecture: Kuchinotsucho 16 system: Tangor Norin No.5). The appearance of the tree is slightly open, the size of the tree is slightly small, and the tree vigor is medium. The internode length of the shoots is medium, the thickness is slightly thin, and the number of thorns is small. Leaf height is long, width is medium, leaf shape index is medium, and area is large. The length of the wing leaf is long and the width is medium. The size of the flower (weight of the flower bud) is light, the length of the petal is short, the width is narrow, the color is white, and the number is four. The degree of separation of the stamens is small, the number is small, the amount of pollen is small, the length of the ovary is short, the diameter is medium, and the shape is a short sphere. The appearance of the fruit is flat, the shape of the pericarp is slightly spherical, the shape of the apex is flat, the rough surface of the fruit is slippery, the unevenness of the oil vesicles is slightly convex, and the color of the pericarp is red-orange (JHS color chart 1306). , The thickness of the equatorial pericarp is thin, and the difficulty of peeling is medium. The hardness of the sac is medium, the size of the stele is small, the size of the fruit is large (about 200 g), the color of the juice vesicles is orange, the size is small, and the shape is a spindle. The amount of fruit juice is low, the sweetness is medium, and the acidity and aroma are low. The germination period is late, the flowering period is medium, the maturity period is early, and it is from late December to early January in the growing area. Compared to “Kiyomi Orange(It is a small green tree of rutaceae citrus and is also called Kiyomi orange or Kiyomi tangor. Okitsu Fruit Tree Res. Stn. “Wase Miyagawa” and “Torobita Orange” oranges are crossed and cultivated-1949. Registration number: Tangor Norin No. 1 Registration date: June 29, 1979: Old systematic name, Citrus Okitsu No.21. The cold resistance of the tree is relatively strong. However, if the peel is exposed to low temperatures, there is a risk of cold damage. Therefore, a warm winter area is desirable. The flesh is dark orange, soft and juicy, with an orange scent. Maturity is in mid-March and late varieties. I have introduced various varieties so far, but most of them are born from ‘kiyomi.’ It has the property of “single embryo”, which is hard to find in citrus fruits. A new variety that is different from the parent is never found under natural conditions. Most of the new varieties currently available, it was created by crossing an independent administrative institution and a prefectural test site. Usually for producing new varieties of crops, pollinate pollen(Mating)of a different variety from Mother. The resulting fruits are hybrids of Both varieties. Therefore, it has a different property from its parents. However, this does not seem to work well with Citrus Fruits. Of course, fertilization forms crossed embryos in the seed. Separately, it is called nucellar seedling. Separately, it has the property of producing a number of embryos that are formed without fertilization-Multi-embryonic. Nucellar embryony does not contain any father's blood. The buds from embryony embryony will be of the same variety as the mother. A variety with many embryony embryos: It can be around fifty and tends to suppress the growth of only one hybrid embryo. Therefore, if you use a multi-embryonic variety for Mother, there is a high possibility of overwhelming failure. On the other hand, buds from single-embryonic varieties are definitely hybrids. After all, for new variety breeding by mating: I hear from my mother that I don't use multi-embryonic varieties. However, there are few single-embryonic varieties. It seems that there are only a few varieties that can actually be used for mating. In developing new varieties that inherit the goodness of mandarin oranges: A very important role is expected(Kiyomi Tangor, a new blood of Satsuma mandarin orange).)”, the fruit surface is smooth, the color of the pericarp is red-orange, the maturity period is early, etc., and the leaf height is longer than that of “Page Orange”, and the fruit is It is said that the distinction is recognized by the fact that the leaves are wider, the appearance of the fruit is flat, and the color of the pericarp is red-orange, etc., compared to the “southern wind” because of its large size.

Kiyomi Orange(Citrus unshiu × Citrus sinensis)is a variety announced in 1979, and its good flavor meets consumer needs.It is difficult to cultivate in the open field unless the acid reduction is slow and the fruit can be left on the tree until March. It seems that the addition of peeling property and appearance have been pointed out as points to be improved. Tangor-type citrus fruits for raw consumption were cultivated, which had a rapid acid reduction, had a good taste at an early stage, had peeling properties, and had a better appearance. It is a variety that is characterized by its beautiful red-orange appearance, and is expected to spread as a variety that can easily avoid cold weather. I hear that windbreak measures are important because there is a risk of Xanthomonas campestris pv. Citri (Hasse) Dye due to strong winds during the growing season. It is parthenocarpy and non-nuclear, but the number of nuclei increases due to cross-pollination. Therefore, I heard that it is better to avoid mixed planting with other varieties with high pollen fertility. Image character Miko-chan: Performance of cartoonist Mrs. Natsumi Matsumoto from Oita Prefecture.

The appearance that gives a crimson and graceful impression befitting the name of Biko. The outer skin is very thin and seems to be integrated with the citrus fruit segment, so it cannot be peeled by hand like a mandarin orange. Also, since the flesh is soft and there is a lot of juice, it is difficult to separate each bunch. It seems that it is better to cut it with a knife like orange and eat it. Among the Amakusa Orange made in the green house culture in Oita prefecture, which is a special brand of Central Citrus Union, only those that meet the standards are shipped after the appearance, taste and quality are checked by the latest optical sensor.

Kitsuki City has long been famous for producing excellent tangerines, and it is cultivated under strict control, and I hear that high-quality citrus fruits grow. Especially in areas where greenhouse oranges are cultivated, high quality Amakusa oranges are cultivated by making the best use of the techniques and techniques inherited from our predecessors and cultivated over many years.

Specialty products (special selection of excellent products. Also, the selection products. As a result of the examination, it is recognized that they are particularly excellent.): Kitsuki is a warm seaside town. Conditions for delicious orange production areas. We are grateful to our ancestors and workers who have made this area a major production area with high cultivation and processing techniques, which has been an excellent production area for mandarin oranges for a long time.

In Fujinomiya City, there are pillars of the “Nuclear Weapons Abolition Peace City Declaration” in the Central Library, Mt. Fuji Seseragi Square, etc., and the eighth pillar built in front of the City General Welfare Hall. In the hunting ward, a monument of “I have a heart to put a saddle on a horse for cherry blossom viewing” was erected by Kyoshi TAKAHAMA. This phrase is a poem about the dismounting cherry blossoms in the hunting inn, which is said to be “Komadome; galingale cherry blossoms” that Minamoto no Yoritomo connected horses to during the makigari of Fuji. It seems that he has the same heart as when he put a saddle on a horse. He died the following year, and his last travel destination was Fujinomiya.

During the Edo period (1603 to 1868), haiku poet, Rokka Shibuya and Umeichi NAKANO brought the central culture to their hometown and contributed to the improvement of the local culture. After that, cultural activities such as haiku and tanka became more prosperous here. Rokka was born in 1671 in Omiya Town, Fuji District, Suruga Province (currently Fujinomiya City). Matsuo Basho's younger brother Shomon Jittetsu (10 representative pupils under Basho MATSUO): His disciples included Kikaku TAKARAI, Ransetsu HATTORI, Kyoriku MORIKAWA, Kyorai MUKAI, Shiko KAGAMI, Joso NAITO, Sora KAWAI, and Etsujin OCHI, who were called the ten representative pupils under Basho MATSUO, and Boncho NOZAWA. Was called. He lived in Numazu and was active as a master of the haimon, mainly in the same area. He died in 1750 at the age of 79. The Nichiren sect of Buddhism-Tozenji Temple (Agoyama in the city: Also, at the entrance of the guest hall, “Emi Goto's monument (also at Tensho-ji Temple in Shizuoka City)”, which was selected as one of the 100 Heisei haiku poets. It is said that his grave is engraved with the phrase The journey of death that makes the world of dreams come out in illusion in his grave. Umeichi is a female poet who was active between 1804 and 1830 during the cultural and cultural era. Her name is Hikari (Mito), and she seems to have been the wife of Yojuro Nakano, the head of Kuroda Village (currently Kuroda, Fujinomiya City). In 1793, she emigrated to Edo with her husband, who was ordered to serve in Edo by her lord Jiemon Watanabe. She seems to have improved there until she learned her haiku from the Katsushika school yaitsu KATO and eventually she was given the haiku name “Umeichi Sekkatei” by her teacher. The Katsushika school (Katsushika main gate: Sodo) was a prestigious prestigious early modern haidan related to Basho Matsuo and Issa Kobayashi.

JA Shizuoka Keizairen held a strawberry sales measures meeting in Suruga Ward, Shizuoka City on November 18, 2021, and the sales target amount for this year is 6,750 million yen, an increase of 6.1% from the previous year. Shipment quantity increased by 3.1% to 5,000 tons. It seems that it will develop sales promotion activities in anticipation of demand from the metropolitan area. Growth is generally good this year, and I hear that shipments are expected to begin in earnest from late November to December. It seems that it is expected that the promotion of promotional videos using talents and the use of digital signage (electronic signage) will be promoted as in the previous year in order to increase consumption. On the 13th of the same month, Koshihikari from Shizuoka Prefecture was dedicated to a shrine in Shizuoka City, hoping for the convergence of the new corona virus; germ. JA Shizuoka Keizairen holds a prayer festival every year at Kusanagi Shrine in Shimizu Ward, and it seems that they dedicated rice and prayed for rice to recover the demand for eating out. The prayed rice will be served at the Korean barbecue restaurant operated by the JA, and will also be sold at the shrine, so if you are near you, please come visit us. At a shrine whose deity is Yamato Takeru no Mikoto, the annual festival is held on September 20th every year. On holidays before and after that, Ryusei Fireworks (Shizuoka Prefecture Intangible Folk Cultural Property) will be launched grandly. A bamboo rocket with a diameter of 60 to 70 mm and a length of less than 1 m, packed with gunpowder and launched with its explosive power and instantaneous burning power as the propulsive force, becomes a dragon that soars white smoke when ignition rises in the daytime. It is said that it is called Ryusei. Also, at night, it is said that the figure that blows out flames and rises among the stars in the sky is likened to a shooting star and is also called a “meteor”. Currently, four districts are famous all over the country where the launch technique and style are preserved and handed down as the main event of the festival, with this ryusei or meteor as the traditional culture of the hometown. Kusanagi district in Shizuoka city, Yoshida district in Chichibu city, Saitama prefecture, Asahina district in Okabe city in Fujieda city, and Maibara district in Shiga prefecture. JA Shizuoka Keizairen provides rice milling to children's cafeterias (mid-to-late July 2021): It seems that rice milling was provided to children's cafeterias. Presentation ceremony from the JA to the children's cafeteria. The Shizuoka Prefectural Federation of Economic and Agricultural Cooperatives provides rice milling, whose demand has decreased due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, to children's cafeterias and nurseries. Business content: Approximately 70 tons of domestically produced rice (polished rice) is provided based on applications from children's cafeterias and nursery schools in the prefecture (first-come-first-served basis due to limited quantity). Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture, was established in 1942 as the 192nd city in Japan with the merger of Omiya Town and Tomioka Village. Since then, it has merged with Fujine Village in 1955, Kitayama Village, Ueno Village, Kamiide ​​Village, and Shiraito Village in 1958, and Shibakawa Town in 2010, becoming the current Fujinomiya City. And this year, Fujinomiya City is celebrating its 78th anniversary. Fujinokuni beautiful and dignified Eup (administrative division): An ideal place where people who value the local “treasure (resource)”, protect it, and pass it on to the next generation gather and carry out sincere activities. Area certified as a farming and fishing village. Nishifuji Nagano pioneer group: In 1948, construction of villages Hiromi, Ogihira, and Fujioka began. It is the beginning of individual management by each person from the communal life so far. It seems that the house where he lived was a shanty using pillars and boards that came out by destroying the building used by the soldiers at the time of the war. The house was raining, the winter was cold with a draft, and the ancestors had a hard time every day. The particular problem was that there was no water and I had to store and use rainwater. However, it seems that it was a great pleasure to have my own house. At that time, it seems that he was making a lot of high-temperature vegetables such as upland rice, sweet potatoes, radishes, and cabbage. Construction of the water supply started in 1949, water was drawn from Nebara, and it was completed in 1958. It seems that electricity was lit in all areas until 1957. The road was pioneered and the main line started construction in 1976 and opened in 1982. I heard that this is the current Fujinomiya / Naruzawa line. In 1954, the Nishifuji area was designated as an “highly intensive dairy area”. I heard that the West Fuji area was recognized by the national government as a suitable area for dairy farming, and that they were able to receive their own assistance. In 1952, about 260 Australian Jersey dairy cows; Alderney(Compared to Holsteins, Jerseys tend to be a little smaller and milk less, but they seem to outperform all of the milk fat, milk protein and non-fat milk solids. In addition, the Fujinomiya City Agricultural Policy Division is promoting the installation of a biomass plant that uses renewable resources (livestock manure) generated from the livestock industry, which is the city's main industry.)were introduced with state assistance, and it seems that they have decided to go with a single dairy farm thereafter. It seems that the dairy farming by the Nagano Pioneer Group in Nishifuji has become full-scale. Formulated to promote local start-ups based on business plans such as start-up support and the Industrial Competitiveness Enhancement Law. The current Industrial Competitiveness Enhancement Act was enacted in 2013 to revive Japan's economy and bring industry out of a medium - to long-term stagnation. Since the law came into effect, the opening rate in Japan has been rising moderately, but it seems that it is still about half (5.6%) in Europe and the United States. In this situation of concern, in order to increase the vitality of the private sector, it is important to continue to raise the opening rate of the region, create employment, and promote the metabolism of the industry. The strengthening law has been enforced, and it is supposed to support not only the traditional support for founding but also the efforts for dissemination and enlightenment of founding in order to deepen the public's understanding and interest in founding. Based on this, Fujinomiya City has formulated and emphasized a business plan such as Fujinomiya City start-up support as a measure to promote the start-up of the city, and has been certified by the national government. The “People / Agricultural Land Plan” is a public announcement that clarifies the farmers (central management bodies) who are expected to play a central role in agriculture in the region, and the ideal way of agriculture in the region, based on discussions. It's a thing. From the perspective of making the “people / agricultural land plan” truly based on regional discussions during the national business review, a management entity that will be responsible for the future use of agricultural land by utilizing questionnaires and maps with the participation of relevant parties. It is said that it will lead to the creation of a future policy regarding the consolidation of agricultural land in Japan. The city is also promoting realization of people / agricultural land plans based on process chart for realization of people / agricultural land plans. We also promote environment-friendly agriculture. “Sustainable agriculture that takes advantage of the material cycle function of agriculture, pays attention to harmony with productivity, and reduces the environmental burden by using chemical fertilizers and pesticides through soil preparation.” Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture, is an area full of nature with clean water and air that spreads out at the southwestern foot of Mt. Fuji. The characteristic of this area is the highest height difference in Japan. The low point is 35 m above sea level, and the high point is 3776 m at the top of Mt. Fuji. Various agricultural products are produced using the difference in temperature, the spring water derived from Mt. Fuji, and the volcanic ash soil. I hear that the characteristic of Fujinomiya's agriculture is that it can produce agricultural products of other items, albeit in small quantities.

The Harvest Festival “Yoshida Village Festival” attracts more than 5,000 visitors every year. There are plenty of glamping and accommodation facilities where you can spend a relaxing rural time. It is said that Yoshida Village Agritourism has started so that many people can enjoy the charm of this village by making the best use of the property of the earth and fruit. Families who want their children to experience farming. I am moved by a group, a group, or a solo trip to reconsider myself, who wants to enjoy the countryside in a fashionable way away from the city. Yoshida Village seems to be aiming for a rural area where various people can enjoy themselves on a day trip or staying overnight.

In Shimotsuke City, there are traces of ancestors living from the Paleolithic era, and in the old tomb period of the 6th to 7th centuries, a powerful tribe appeared and a large tumulus was built. During the Hakuho period of Emperor Tenmu, Shimotsuke Yakushiji Temple, one of the three ordination platforms of Japan, was built, and in the 8th century, Shimotsuke Kokubunji Temple and Kokubunniji Temple were built by Emperor Shomu, as the center of ancient Shimotsuke Province. It seems to have prospered. During the Edo period, it prospered around the post towns (Koganei inn and Ishibashi inn) of Nikko highroad, which is one of the Five Highways (radiating from Edo). After that, Minamikawachi Town merged with Yoshida Village and Yakushiji Village in April 1955 to become Minamikawachi Village, and with the enforcement of the town system in April 1971, Minamikawachi Town and Ishibashi Town (Ishibashi Town merged with Sugata Village in November 1954). Kokubunji Town (from Kokubunji Village to Kokubunji Town due to the enforcement of the town system in April 1954) merged on January 18, 2005 to become Shimotsuke City, which continues to this day.

Shimotsuke City, Tochigi Prefecture, is located in the northern part of the Kanto Plain, in the central and southern part of Tochigi Prefecture. It is located within an area of ​​about 85 km from the city center and is said to form a part of the metropolitan area. It is approximately 15.2 km north-south and 11.5 km east-west, bordering Utsunomiya City in the north, Oyama City in the south, Moka City (former Ninomiya Town) and Kaminokawa Town in the east, and Tochigi City and Mibu Town in the west, with an area of ​​74.59. km2. The Kinugawa and Tagawa rivers in the east, and the Shikawa and Sugata rivers in the west flow, and it is famous as a flat and stable area with few natural disasters that has been open since ancient times. A new town centered around Jichiidaieki Station on the JR Utsunomiya Line has expanded, and it seems that Shimotsuke City is formed with Koganei along the Nikko highroad, the old post town of Ishibashi, and the surrounding countryside. The climate is an average annual temperature of about 14 ° C, an average annual rainfall of about 1,300 mm, a warm climate with high temperature and humidity in summer and low temperature and dryness in winter, with almost no snow and lightning. It seems that it has a relatively large number  (At the time of April 1, 2015)  . Dried fruit of white flowered gourd in Tochigi Prefecture accounts for 97% of the national production, of which the city is said to produce 46% of Tochigi Prefecture's total production. It is said that the history of Dried fruit of white flowered gourd is about 300 years ago, when a lord named Tadateru TORII, the lord of the Mibu feudal lord, ordered Dried fruit of white flowered gourd seeds and spread them to “Shimotsuke no Kuni” around here. It seems that it is being answered. In addition, since this area is covered with soil from the Kanto Loam Formation (black volcanic ash soil), drainage is good, and during the hot summer months, thunderstorms from the Nikko Nasu Mountain Range cool the ground dust. It will be a rain of grace, and it seems that the water will fatten the fruit and promote the growth of Dried fruit of white flowered gourd. It seems that the fact that both the soil and weather conditions are suitable for the cultivation of Dried fruit of white flowered gourd is considered to have established the production of Dried fruit of white flowered gourd in the country of Shimotsuke. July-August seems to be the peak of Kanpyo production. It seems that Lagenaria siceraria fruit “Fukube”, which weighs 8 kg, is peeled into strips and dried. Dried fruit of Lagenaria siceraria has a strong image of vinegared rice rolled in dried laver, but I heard that Tochigi has a rich repertoire of dried fruit of Lagenaria siceraria dishes such as miso soup ingredients, boiled greens in bonito-flavoured soy sauce(vegetable side dish), and simmered dishes. In addition, it seems that there are plenty of related products such as sweets made from dried fruit of Lagenaria siceraria, ice cream, udon noodles, curry, and dumplings. Furthermore, “Fukube craftsmanship”, which is made by drying the outer skin of the Lagenaria siceraria fruit “Fukube”, seems to be a traditional craft of the prefecture. Roadside station Shimotsuke: GELATERIA Izawa berry farm, Business hours 10am to 6pm: A number of creative gelatos created by the owner who trained at the famous gelato in Tokyo and the chef who trained at the authentic Italian starred restaurant. We use carefully selected seasonal ingredients from inside and outside the prefecture, including our proud strawberries harvested at our own farm. It seems that they use materials that are carefully selected from the base, such as pasteurized milk from Senbonmatsu Farm in Nasu, natural water from Shojinzawa in Nikko, beet sugar, and ripe acacia honey. As a city gelato, we continue to pursue delicious gelato every day. Izawa Ichigoen Co., Ltd. was born in 1985 in the Yoshida district of Shimotsuke City, Tochigi Prefecture, as a strawberry farmer, and produces and sells strawberries. Strawberries that are grown with a lot of love based on thorough temperature control and schedule control, sticking to water and soil, pursuing ripeness, are a proud dish everywhere. The cultivated area is over 1 hectare, and quality control on this scale is not easy. However, we have introduced a system that can perform the process from shipping to lining up at the store in the shortest time from the stickiness that we want our customers to enjoy in the best condition, and we are striving to provide our customers in the most ripe and delicious condition. That's right. Now, in the former Yoshida Village, the “Yoshida Village Project” is being held to regenerate Ishikura into a place where people gather, from father to son, son to daughter, and designers and designers who sympathize with the thoughts of Mr. Izawa's family moving. According to history, it is said that Fujiwara no HIDESATO-Ko built Isa Castle in 938-947 due to the turbulence of Taira no MASAKADO-Ko. In the Middle Ages, the clan Isa dominated the area around Chikusei City. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Mr. Isa, who was on the Southern Court side, was attacked by the Northern Court side, and there is a legend that he escaped to Oshu when the main castles, Daiho Castle and Seki Castle, fell. From 1478, Katsuuji MIZUNOYA((The year of birth is unknown, and it is said to be the son of Tokiuji Isenokami MIZUNOYA-Ko. During the Eikyo turbulence that occurred in 1437, he was given to the Kanto Koga Mochiuji ASHIKAGA-Ko together with his master, Mr. Yuki, and was defeated by the Shogunate army. Protected him until the end and killed him at Yuki Castle.)-Ko became the lord of the Shimodate and built the Shimodate Castle. Incorporating the idea of ​​Feng Shui into the castle town, Dewasanzan (Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture) has five key points, including the demon gate, wind gate, sick gate, and Tenmon. Haguro Daigongen(It is watched as a god of Shinto and Buddhism based on the mountain worship and Shugendo of Mt. Haguro in Dewa Province. Based on the theory of Honji Suijaku, the Holy Kannon Bodhisattva was regarded as the Honji Suijaku god who appeared in the form of “Right” as the Honji Buddha.)was solicited and made a spiritual cornerstone. Mr. MIZUNOYA was working hard as a vassal of Mr. Yuki, but became independent, survived the Warring States period while being a small lord, and was relieved of 31,000 koku (later about 50,000 koku) under the HIDEYOSHI-Ko administration and established the Shimodate domain. After that, Kiyokata UESUGI-Ko in the Kanto region searched for Tokiuji-Ko's orphan in order to revive Mizunoya-Ko, and it is said that Katsuuji-Ko was found. He was given 12 Naganuma hometown and 33 Isa hometown for his efforts to revive the Yuki clan as a senior vassal. In 1478, he founded Yakushido, and in 1481, he invited Buddhist priest “良室榮欣” (priest of Yuki Jokokuji V). The temple name was changed to “Jorinji(Soto sect; Okazeri Town)” after the opening of the mountain and Katsuuji(定林寺殿玉叟了圓大居士)-Ko. In 1481, it was protected as a successive Bodhisattva temple, and the Mizunoya family donated 150 koku of the temple territory and built Dou. The bronze bell donated by KATSUTOSHI MIZUNOYA-Ko in 1567 (Muromachi period work, 4 cases of 4 steps of milk, total height 89 cm, diameter 49 cm) remains and was designated as an important cultural property designated by Ibaraki Prefecture in 1963. Many Dou, temple treasures, and records were destroyed by fire in 1880, but they were later rebuilt.)In the same year, the Haguro Daigongen of Dewasanzan (Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture) was solicited to establish the Kamihaguro Shrine and the Shimohaguro Shrine. When MIZUNOYA Family transferred to Bichu Nariwa in 1639, it seems that the feudal lord changed to Matsudaira, Masuyama, Inoue, and Kuroda in a relatively short period of time. When Fusashige ISHIKAWA-Ko became the feudal lord with 20,000 koku in 1732, the Ishikawa family celebrated the Meiji Restoration for nine consecutive generations. In addition, Shimodate, Chikusei City, which is a castle, has been economically developed as a post town on the Yuki Highway, where many supplies have been brought in and it has become a collection place for “cotton,” which is a special product. Shimodate City, Former Makabe District; Sekijo Town, Akeno Town, and Kyowa Town merged to form March 28, 2005. It is located in the western part of the prefecture, about 70 km north of Tokyo, about 15 km east-west, about 20 km north-south, and has an area of ​​205.3 km2. Adjacent to Shimotsuma City and Tsukuba City, which includes Japan's leading science and technology center city “Tsukuba”, to the east is Sakuragawa City, to the west is Yuki City, Yachiyo Town and Oyama City, Tochigi Prefecture, and to the north is Moka, Tochigi Prefecture. Adjacent to the city. The terrain is generally flat, and the Kinugawa and Kokaigawa rivers flow from north to south, forming a fertile countryside. The altitude is about 20 m to 60 m, and in the north there is a hilly area that connects to a part of the Abukuma mountain range, and the altitude is about 200 m. The climate is Pacific, mild and refreshing throughout the four seasons. As for the road system, National Road No. 50 is developed in the east-west direction and National Road No. 294 is developed in the north-south direction, and the intersection of these two lines becomes the center of the city. Furthermore, prefectural roads will be radiated from here to Ishioka City, Tsukuba City, and Koga City. The JR Mito Line runs from east to west, and the Moka Railway Moka Line runs from Shimodate Station to Toride in the south and Motegi(Not Motogi, Itako City, but different reading)in the north. Shimodate Gion Festival: One of the best summer festivals in Ibaraki prefecture, which is held over four days around Haguro Shrine and Shimodate Station. In addition to the 120-year-old Meiji portable shrine, the female portable shrine of the Aiden god, Tamayorihime, the Heisei portable shrine, which boasts the heaviest weight in Japan as a portable shrine carried every year, more than 30 children's portable shrines will be handed over. In the early morning of the final day, the magnificent sight of “Kawatogyo; When the movement of the divine spirit itself is especially valued as a manifestation form of the divine power; festival celebrating the (temporary) transfer of a shintai away from its main shrine” carrying the Meiji portable shrine into the river is brilliant.

Tsukubano, which is blessed with vast plains and water, is a treasure trove of fresh taste, where the blessings of the earth and the warmth of human hands come to fruition. As one of the best rice fields in the Kanto region, the vast plains at the foot of Mt. Tsukuba and several first-class rivers flow through the city. In addition, it is blessed with abundant land and water, and is famous as one of the leading rice fields in the prefecture. Its production and shipment are among the highest in the prefecture, and it is cultivated mainly in Koshihikari Rice. In addition, rice crackers using rice, brewed products, miso, soy sauce, etc. have been handed down to the present day, following the old-fashioned manufacturing method. Due to the recent natural orientation, it has become popular and has taken root in the streets. In addition, there are many long-established confectioneries loved by literati in the Shimodate district, which prospered as the center of commerce and culture in the area. The city is also widely known as a large production area for red pears, which boasts one of the largest acreages in Japan. Due to pesticide-reduced cultivation, strict fruit selection, and traditional cultivation techniques, its beauty is outstandingly designated as a brand production area in the prefecture. The main varieties are the popular varieties of “Kosui Pear” and “Hosui Pear” and the large “Nitaka Pear”, which are in season from summer to autumn. Recently, it is also focusing on the production of “Akizuki Pear” and “Keisui Pear; Ibaraki's first original variety produced by the prefecture over 17 years. It is a hybrid of Shinsetsu and Chikusui pear, and has a sugar content of about 13 degrees, a strong sweetness, and a moderately refreshing acidity”. Ibaraki Prefecture has a history of pear cultivation since the Edo period and is one of the oldest pear producing areas in Japan. July 4th is “Nashi Pear Day”, pears in Ibaraki Prefecture start in July. Pear production is the second largest in Japan. The climate with a large temperature difference between day and night, abundant water, and blessed soil are suitable for pear cultivation. In the prefecture, it is produced mainly in Chikusei City, Shimotsuma City, Kasumigaura City, Ishioka City, and Yachiyo Town. The climate with a large temperature difference between day and night, abundant water, and blessed soil are suitable for pear cultivation. In the prefecture, it is produced mainly in Chikusei City, Shimotsuma City, Kasumigaura City, Ishioka City, and Yachiyo Town. From the beginning of July, starting with house pear (Kosui), which grows pears in a house that is rare in Japan, we will start with delicious pears while changing varieties such as “Shimotsuma Kanjuku pear”, Keisui, Hosui, Akizuki, Niitaka, and smile. You can enjoy it until around the time. Greenhouse-grown pears (Kosui) will be distributed from July, and the open field will be from early August to late August. A variety that marks the start of the pear season, with a light texture and plenty of juice. Since it has less acidity, it has a stronger sweetness. The crispy and refreshing texture seems to heal your mind. Shimotsuma Kanjuku Pear is from mid-August to late August. It is a rare ripe pear that is matured for 10 days or more than a normal pear and is harvested after determining when it is ready to eat. Keisui is from early September to late September. It is an original brand of Ibaraki, and because it is large, has a high sugar content, and has low acidity, you can feel a deep sweetness when you eat it. Hosui is from late August to late September. The flesh is soft, the juice is plentiful, the acidity is moderate, and the refreshing flavor that is not only sweet is felt, which is exciting. Akizuki is from early September to late September. A variety of three pears, Hosui, Niitaka, and Kosui, whose flesh is dense and sweet, with a refreshing and juicy texture. Niitaka is from late September to mid-October. Also known as the King of Pears, the larger ones weigh more than 1 kg. It has low acidity, is fresh, has a rich flavor, lasts a long time, and can be enjoyed for a long time. Smiles are from mid-October to late October. It is a variety that is a combination of Niitaka and Hosui. It is large and has plenty of juice, has a high sugar content, lasts for a long time, and is full of smiles. Chikusei City forms the largest pear producing area in the prefecture. The history of pear cultivation in the area is old, and cultivation began in 1857 in the former Sekijo Town and in 1860 in the former Shimodate City. Former Shimodate City was designated as a fruit and vegetable brand production area in the prefecture in 1985, and Sekijo Town was designated in 1991. As for the varieties, “Kosui Pear” and “Hosui Pear” account for almost 80-90%, and late-maturing “Akizuki Pear” and “Niitaka Pear” seem to account for the rest. The introduction of “Nikkori Pear” as a new variety is progressing, and some new varieties such as “Keisui Pear” are being cultivated. In addition to open-field cultivation, simple cover cultivation to protect from rain (1983-), unheated cover cultivation (1993-), and warm cultivation (1991-) have been introduced in some of the production areas to disperse labor. It is an effective means of expanding the cropping season. On July 11, 2019, Izawa Strawberry Garden's new brand “FARM'S Gelato & Pastry” was created in "Roadside Station Grand Terrace Chikusei" in Chikusei City, Ibaraki Prefecture. It is a set of 8 gelatos that incorporate many materials from Ibaraki prefecture. The gelato set, which is sure to satisfy sweets lovers, such as “Waguri” made from Kasama chestnuts in Ibaraki prefecture and “Black sesame” made from very valuable domestic sesame seeds, is gaining popularity. Certainly created by the owner who trained at the gelato specialty store “Gelateria SINCERITA” in Asagaya, Suginami Ward, Tokyo, led by Gelato Meister Mr. Yosuke Nakai, the chef who trained at the authentic Italian starred restaurant, and experienced patissier. The creative gelato made from carefully selected ingredients, including the proud strawberry harvested at our own farm, which is particular about its delicious taste and ripeness, seems to be popular with many customers including the locals. Not as a gelato shop at the roadside station, but as a gelato in the city, I continue to make delicious gelato every day. Tochiaika: Applicant's name and address Tochigi Prefecture (Hanawada, Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture) Application No. 33245 Date of application 2018/07/09 Date of publication of application 2018/11/13 Date of withdrawal Rejection Name of trainer, Mr. Yasuhiro Kobayashi, Mr. Takashi Shigeno, Mr. Takashi Ohashi, Mr. Akitsugu Hatakeyama, Mr. Kazunari Iimura, Mr. Tatsuro Nakanishi, Mr. Masaaki Ueki, Ms. Akina Toyoda, Ms. Asami Nagashima, Mr. Yoshinori Saito, Ms. Risa Tsurumi, Ms. Natsumi Kojima, Mr. Yukio Ohashi, Export There are restrictions on the actions to be taken, there is no designated country. It was also called the 10th original variety of Tochigi prefecture, also known as “Tochigi i37”. It is a completely new kind of strawberry that was first shipped from Tochigi in the fall of 2019. It seems that it was decided by the purchaser. The name was decided to be Tochiaika, which received the most votes from Tochiaika, Tochiakari, Tochimaru, Tochireiwa, Emika, and Amane. Tochiaika was filed for variety registration in 2018 by the Tochigi Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station Ichigo Research Institute (Tochigi City). The grains are relatively large, have little acidity, and have a strong sweetness, and are characterized by a hard texture as a strawberry. The inside of the fruit is white. The yield per unit area is 30% higher than that of Tochiotome, which makes it easier to cultivate. The most famous variety from Tochigi is “Tochiotome”, but it seems that farmers were worried about being susceptible to the disease “chloranemia(Fusarium oxysporum Schlechtendahl: Fries f.sp. fragariae Winks et Williams)(It is a type of filamentous fungus and is transmitted from the roots of strawberries. When the disease develops, the new leaves turn yellow-green, twist in a boat shape, and 1-2 of the 3 leaflets become smaller. When the crown of the diseased strain was cut, part or all of the vascular bundle turned brown. When it occurs in the parent strain of the nursery, the number of runners that occur decreases, and malformed leaves also occur in the new leaves of the runners. When it occurs during the harvest season, fruit set is reduced and fruit enlargement is worsened. The optimum temperature for growth of pathogens is around 28 ° C, and the optimum soil temperature for disease onset is 25 to 30 ° C. It spreads by soil transmission and seedling transmission (latent infection), and is secondarily transmitted by splashing of water droplets due to rainfall or overhead irrigation. I've heard that continuous cropping of strawberries in the field where this disease occurred will increase the damage. It seems to be a relatively new disease discovered in 1970. At first, one or two leaflets of new leaves turn yellowish green, and they are miniaturized and rolled into a boat shape. The leaves that develop after that also become malformed, and the entire plant becomes significantly poorly grown. The leaves are lifeless, exhibit yellowing, and are purplish-red, and the entire plant may die. When it occurs in the parent strain of the nursery, the number of runners is reduced, and the new leaves of the runners are also malformed. When it occurs during the harvest season, fruit set is reduced and fruit enlargement is also worsened. It may wither before showing yellowing or malformations of new leaves (acute symptoms). When the crown is cut, part or all of the vascular bundle is discolored from brown to dark brown, and most of the roots are also dark brown, and many of them are rotten. Mild strains seem to have no symptoms at low temperatures. Pathogens only affect strawberries. It forms large conidia, small conidia, and chlamydospores, and mainly chlamydospores remain in the soil and become a source of infection. They invade from the roots of strawberries, invade conduits, and become infected. Chlamydospores survive in soil for long periods of 4-5 years or longer. The optimum temperature for growth is around 28 ° C. In addition to soil transmission, when a lightly damaged strain is used as the parent strain, the fungus is transferred to the seedlings through the runner, and it seems that seedling transmission is often carried out. The optimum soil temperature for disease onset is 25 to 30 ° C, and it is easy to get infected and get sick in the high temperature period, but it seems that the symptoms may become unclear in the very hot midsummer. It is said that it is easy to get sick in continuous cropping fields, fields with large difference in soil dryness, fields with low pH, and fields where a large amount of undecomposed organic matter is applied. When the generated field strain is used as the parent strain, the disease of runners and seedlings collected from them increases. There are differences in the onset of illness depending on the variety, and it seems that the early life of treasure is extremely weak. Compared to Wase Hoko(I heard that the origin of the name is “Hoko”, which is a variety crossed in Takarazuka, Hyogo Prefecture, and “Wase”, which is a variety that can be shipped earlier than other varieties at the time of development. Both the skin and flesh are soft and juicy. It is a standard variety of outdoor cultivation by cross breeding of “Kogyoku” × “Tahoe”. In forcing cultivation, it seems necessary to maintain the grass vigor by lighting and heating.), female peaks, Tochiotome, Sagahonoka(Application number 9676 Date of application 1997/03/26 Date of publication of application 1999/03/18 Registration number 8839.

The fruits have a good appearance, a strong sweetness, and an extremely excellent aroma, and are varieties that can be produced early with a high early yield and are suitable for forcing and semi-forcing cultivation. The grass is medium, the grass is strong, and the grass is high. The leaf color is dark green, the leaf shape is flat, and the leaf thickness is thick. The leaflets are large in size and the number of leaves is rather small. The number of runners is rather large, the color of the runners is light red, and the thickness of the runners is slightly thick. The size of the flower is rather large, and the difficulty of detaching the flower ben is a little easy. The fruit shape is a cone, the fruit size is large, the skin color is bright red, the fruit gloss is good, the flesh color is yellowish white, and the fruit heart color is white. There is no fruit neck, the number of fruits is medium, and the fruit is being dropped a little. The size of the calyx relative to the fruit shape is large. The hardness of the fruit is a little hard, the content of soluble solids is high, the acidity is a little low, and the aroma of the fruit is quite high. The flower bud differentiation stage, flowering beginning stage and maturity stage are all early. Dormancy is fairly short. The shelf life is rather long, and the transportability is high. Compared to “Harunoka”, it has a lot of fruit scent, and the fruit has a good luster. It is said that sex is recognized. Date of registration, 09/05/1984, Duration of breeders'rights, 15 years, Date of extinction of breeders' rights, 09/06/1999. It was cultivated by crossing Variety registrant, Vegetable and Tea Industry Experiment Station, Ano Town, Aki District, Mie Prefecture (currently Tsu City)). It is a cultivar suitable for forcing cultivation, which is pyramidal, large and hard. The shape of the grass is upright, the grass is strong, the height of the grass is high, the number of divisions is small, and the runner(A method of growing seedlings by rooting the shoots that attach to the stems)The number is rather large. The leaf color is dark green, the leaf shape is upward, the leaflet size is quite large, the number of leaves is a little small, and the petiole thickness is quite thick. The color of the pericarp is bright red, the shape of the fruit is a cone, the size of the fruit is large, the color of the flesh and the heart of the fruit is white, the gloss of the fruit is good, and the groove of the fruit is small. The size of the flower is large, the color of the petals is white, the number of flowers per inflorescence is quite small, and the thickness of the peduncle is thick. The hardness of the fruit is hard, there is almost no seedless band, the depression of the fruit is decreasing, the anthocyanin coloring of the fruit is slightly light, the number of fruit is coarse, and the aroma of the fruit is slightly high. Seasonality is one season(It bears fruit from winter to spring and does not bear fruit after that), Early flowering and maturity, flowering position is at the same level as leaves, soluble solid content is high, acidity is low, and shelf life is long. Compared to “Toyonoka”, the grass shape is upright, the flesh color is white, there are few fruit grooves, etc., and the leaflets are larger than “Sachinoka”. It is said that the distinction is recognized by the fact that the flesh color is white and that the fruit has a large drop. Registration date 2001/03/19 The duration of breeder's rights is 20 years. Variety registrant, Saga City, Saga Prefecture, Registered cultivar breeder, Mr. Tanaka, Mr. Mori, Mr. Nakajima, Mr. Matsuo, Mr. Tanaka, Mr. Nakamura. It was born in 1998, and now that the production technology has been established, it is licensed outside the prefecture without monopolizing the varieties. It is conical and well-aligned, and the flesh is bright red and white with a glossy finish. Ideal sweetness with less sourness and cleanliness. It has a faint floral scent and is suitable for transportation.), etc. are less susceptible to disease, but they seem to be more likely to develop the disease in contaminated fields with high bacterial density.)”, which is said to be the natural enemy of strawberries. Therefore, after repeated research at the Tochigi Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station Ichigo Research Institute, we finally developed a long-awaited variety that is resistant to diseases. The characteristic of Tochiaika is its sweetness. The sugar content is about the same as Tochiotome, but the sweetness is more pronounced due to the less sourness. Very fragrant and juicy. The size is between Tochiotome and Skyberry, but it seems to grow into a large ball size that looks good. The remaining two houses are cultivated in soil, and it seems that it is also a place for demonstration experiments to confirm which is more suitable for cultivation than hydroponics. It is hard to get sick, has cold resistance, is highly environmentally friendly, and is easy to cultivate, so it seems to be a variety suitable for people with little cultivation history and new farmers. In addition, the flowers grow quickly and bloom continuously, so the fruits are produced one after another, and stable yields and increased yields can be expected. Furthermore, it is said that the long harvest period from the end of October to the beginning of June is a great advantage for producers. “Strawberry” in Tochigi Prefecture, which developed Tochiaika, boasts the highest production volume and sales value in Japan, and “Tochiotome” developed by this prefecture currently occupies 30% of the strawberry acreage in Japan. That's it. Aiming for further development of “Strawberry Kingdom Tochigi”, the first “Strawberry Research Institute” in Japan was opened on October 1, 2008.
