Farming is all up to you. I feel a sense of purpose and joy in doing things with my own hands and getting results, and in the growth of crops. Not only when I harvest the crops that I carefully grow, but also the voices of customers give me joy and nourishment for my life, and I work hard every day. I was particularly impressed by the children munching on my vegetables, and by people who didn't like vegetables eating my vegetables. In addition, his physical condition improved, such as the stiff shoulders and sensitivity to cold that he had suffered for many years from farming. I probably sweated at work and my body temperature rose and I became healthy. Every year, I am careful not to change the taste of the agricultural products. We do not use pesticides as much as possible and pay attention to the amount of fertilizer. In fact, pesticides and fertilizers greatly affect the taste of agricultural products. Of course, weeds are also removed by hand one by one. Soil analysis is important. Knowledge of microbes should also be utilized in this field. Daiunzen tomato cultivation has completely different results depending on how each stage is handled, such as seedling raising, fixed price, and management. It is both a problem and an interesting one at the same time. Every day, he works on growing precious tomatoes while sharing with his colleagues the findings and issues he has learned through trial and error.

Kamio Castle (a site designated by Kikuchi City) was built on a slight hill on the north bank of the Hazama River（The first phase of construction of the Kikuchi Kawamachi Development Project, which connects the town with Gyokushoji, Kikuchi City, has been completed. A waterfront revetment has been built, and a lively waterside space can be seen. On July 27, 2022 (Wednesday), thefestival marking the start of boating season celebration party for the first phase of Kawamachi development was held at Hazama River Takamizushiki (inside Gyokushoji). In collaboration with the Rivers Office, Naoto Tanaka (Associate Professor, Graduate School of Advanced Science Research, Kumamoto University) aims to create a river town that takes advantage of the beautiful natural environment of the historic urban area and the Sasama River. With the cooperation of the Regional Cooperation Department of the Life Promotion Organization, the Kumamoto Water Cycle and Disaster Mitigation Research and Education Center, and the Kumamoto Digital Archive Office)), we created a "Kawamachi Development Basic Plan" while holding workshops with local residents.）. The precincts of Aso Sanjagu Shrine (the one built by Mochitomo Kikuchi, the 19th) in the village is the ruins of the castle, and there is an information board on the precincts. The surrounding area is residential land and fields, and there seems to be no remains. There was originally an old burial mound in the precincts, and a part of it remains, and a stone monument is built on it. In addition, along the road in the north, there is a foundation stone of the ruins of Jurenji Temple. The construction date of the castle is uncertain. Considered to be one of the 18 outer castles of Kikuchi, it is said to have been the residence of the Mitsugi clan or that Geki Murakami was the lord of the castle. It was built in the style of a mountain castle, and was originally an old burial mound built at the edge of a hill, but it was demolished relatively early on and is now the site of Aso Shrine. A passage with an earthen wall remains in the village, and judging from the topography, it is speculated that it was an important castle that was carefully maintained to some extent. A dry moat with a width of about 10 m can be seen from the east to the north, and the remnants of a five-part gravestone representing earth, water, fire, wind and heaven, which was a grave at that time, are collected around it. Among them, the large headstones (Kararin and Karinbe) near the stone monument of the castle ruins are 40 cm high and 107 cm in circumference, and are considered to have been part of an exceptionally large tombstone compared to normal ones. There is also a theory that it may have been the tomb of an influential person higher than the lord of the castle.
