From the genotype analysis of Toki and Orin and Kogetsu, apples with a genotype like Toki do not occur when Orin and Kogetsu are mating parents, and when Orin and Fuji are mated, the genotype of Toki Can now be explained consistently, and it seems that Pollen parent is Fuji. Self-incompatibility The S genotype is S2S9, which is compatible with the main varieties “Fuji”, “Tsugaru”, and “Orin”, but is incompatible with “Kinsei”, “Jonagold”, and “Aori 21”. Alternaria mali (occurs on leaves, fruits and shoots. The leaves are susceptible to infection of young leaves and form brown spotted lesions. The lesions appear to expand and become amorphous. If a large number of leaves are formed or the leaf stalk is affected, the leaves fall early. In the fruit, many small black spots are formed around the axillary part at the young fruit stage, and the fruit becomes rusty with the enlargement of the fruit. In addition, black spots are formed at maturity, but in yellow varieties, red rings may be formed around the lesions. In shoots, brown circular pathological punctums are formed around the skin）Seems to be strong.

Thatched roof: A farmhouse with a Hip roof, thatched roof, and Wooden one-story house built by Hansuke Kawamura in Mizumoto Village in 1874. Wood (durable Thujopsis dolabrata SIEBOLD et ZUCCARINI, Zelkova serrata (Thunb.) Makino, etc.) was purchased from raw wood and spent three years sawing and building. It seems that the building has smokers called all sides. Toru Kawamura, the eldest son of Hansuke Kawamura, went to Keio Gijuku in a high-rise farm building in the Meiji era with an account room and tea arbor, which are rare at that time. , Also appointed chairman of the prefectural assembly on December 5, 1928) and is also active in prefectural government. When relocating, we restored it using the materials used at the time of construction as much as possible, and reproduced the tatami room, Living room that is always there, bed, dirt floor, kitchen, cooking stove, and stable. The Tsuruta Town mascot character, “Tsururin”, is a character selected from works that are open to the public nationwide, and the name is said to have been decided by a vote of elementary and junior high school students in the town after the open call for participants. She wears a crane with the name of the town and a hat with apple flowers, which is the flower of the town, and is active in promoting Tsuruta Town nationwide with the city emblem in her chest.

【Major features】

According to the local history of Tsuruta, the name of the town is “The origin of the name of my Tsuruta is literally the name of the village named after the crane. Even when returning from the South Sea, the Tsugaru region is in a good position to prepare for crossing the Sea of ​​Japan, so it seems to be a group of people in the past (omitted).” The reason why the village name was changed to “Tsuruta“ in the “City and Village Division Reason Statement” submitted by County mayor knowledge to the prefecture seems to indicate that “Tsuruta is due to large Village”. With an area of ​​46.40km2, it is a town whose core industry is agriculture, which mainly cultivates paddy rice and apples. In addition to paddy rice and apples, the number of complex businesses that grow Steuben grapes and cherries is increasing. You may be so attracted to the agricultural economy that you are finding a way to tomorrow. Overseas Sister City Exchange: Hood River, Oregon, USA (concluded on July 27, 1977). Measures, etc .: Breakfast promotion campaign, special education course designation (elementary school lower and middle grade English education), Tsuruta Festival, Townspeople Cultural Festival, Life Festival, Tsuru no Maihashi Cherry Blossom Festival, Fujimi Lake Round Marathon, National Hera（carp）Sushi Fishing Tournament, Earth Day Tsuruta, Junior High School Ambassador Dispatch Project to Sister Cities, Exchange Program with Satsuma Town, Kagoshima Prefecture, Townspeople Fureai（connectedness）Sports Festival, Townspeople Ski Tournament, Cultural Encouragement Award Ceremony, Sports Award Ceremony, Special Products: Apples, Vine Stuben (Geographical Labeling Protection System (GI) registration), Sakuranbo, Tsuruta Giving Back (Sake), Philer (Grape, Apple Sake), Stuben Wine (Red Wine, Rose Wine, White Wine, Sparkling Wine), Stuben Juice, Stuben soft round rice cake stuffed with sweet bean jam, love bell bean-jam-filled wafers, Tsuruta ware (pottery). Tsugaru Fujimi Lake: The largest reservoir in the prefecture. It is said that around 1660, the 4th feudal lord of the Hirosaki Domain, Nobumasa TSUGARU (Junior Fifth Ran, Etchu Mamoru)-Ko built an embankment for the development of a newly reclaimed rice field and used it as a irrigation pond. It seems that it was named because it reflects Tsugaru Fuji and Mt. Iwaki on the surface of the lake for the longest time in Japan. In 2010, it was selected as one of the “100 Best Ponds” by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Since ancient times, the lion dances and lion dances of the Tsugaru region have been close to the milestones of the lives of the people of Tsugaru, such as praying for abundance of five grains, worshiping illnesses and troubles, and worshiping the spirits of the dead during the Obon festival. From 1596-1614, a person named Nekoemon from Kyoto, who lived in what is now Matsumorimachi, Hirosaki City, danced a dance based on an ancestral lion dance roll for the residents suffering from an epidemic, and warded off the disease. Is said to be the beginning of the Tsugaru Lion Dance. Dogen Nomoto（1655-1714）（From the sericulture diary: The supply and demand of textiles in the territory, especially silk fabrics, was a necessary item for the clan, so silk fabric craftsmen were invited from the advanced areas of Edo and Fukushima for a long time, and silk fabrics were also introduced to promote sericulture. At the same time, he was trying to popularize weaving. However, the production of silk fabrics was systematically and in earnest, and it became possible to take the form of a handicraft industry by Dogen Nomoto, who was invited from Kyoto in 1693. It seems that it was largely due to the power of). According to the article of “Edo Diary” (Hirozutsu) on December 18, 1693, Dogen is a fake of 150 Koku of knowledge and action by the mouth of the chief priest Tsugaru. ), The status is invited as a doctor. In the “Hirosaki Domain Agency National Journal” January 6, 1691, it is stated that the tea ceremony is: Dogen Nomoto, and also offers a vow as a tea ceremony (June 6, 1694). It is clear that he was called for the tea ceremony instruction.  However, although it is at the request of the clan that Dogen Nomoto, who plays the role of the tea ceremony, has contributed to the production of silk fabrics by arranging silk fabric masters and providing technical guidance for sericulture by himself, it seems that the circumstances are not clear. On October 3, 1699, Kyoto silk cloth weavers Shozaburo Hoshika and Jiroemon Tomie arrived from Edo. The servants of both of them were due to Dogen Nomoto's long-standing escalation, and were an invitation to collect the Oriza and to improve the guidance and production of silkworm and silk weaving in the territory. The servants of both of them were due to Dogen Nomoto's long-standing escalation, and were an invitation to collect the Oriza and to improve the guidance and production of silkworm and silk weaving in the territory. When he left Edo, he brought a letter from the Edo mansion servant to the national license servant, which both weavers can use for mulberry cultivation and sericulture in various parts of the territory, as well as for dyeing and weaving. It seems that it was stated that when conducting a patrol survey of such matters, they would be allowed to freely inspect without any problems, and that they would be required to take a sericulture response. Both weavers have begun patrols of the territory after their arrival. When visiting Kamiiso (currently the area along Mutsu Bay from Aburakawa in Aomori City to Minmaya Village in Higashitsugaru County) and Shimoiso (currently the area along Mutsu Bay east of Nonai in Aomori City), Karamushi (Choma) , I learned about the planting of fibers (seri) collected from the skin of the stems, which are used as raw materials for textiles such as sushi, and have filed a petition for the cultivation and ownership of mutsu in various parts of the territory. The investigation of fibers and dyes other than sericulture and silk weaving is based on the memorandum from the servant of the Edo clan's residence mentioned above, and the patrol has reached ninety-nine villages in various places. Many of the inspected Kamiiso Negishi Village (currently Tairadate Village Negishi, Higashitsugaru-gun) were excellent in sericulture, and good quality cocoons were produced. However, according to the producers, they have been in a situation of advance borrowing from the purchasing merchant due to the continuous poverty of life and the lack of operating funds every year. The repayment was in the form of a deduction repayment of the produced raw silk (kiito) (a thread made by combining several fibers from the silk moth cocoon). The clan is calling for increased production, curbing the outflow to the outside, and negotiating to buy pupae (cocoons from which pupae have turned into moths, which are used for cotton and pongee). The raw silk that Dogen brought to Kyoto was evaluated by Japanese thread wholesalers as being the best in Japan and could be used for high-end products (“Hirosaki Domain Agency National Journal“, February 25, 1701 et al.).）, a scholar who was called by the 4th feudal lord, Nobumasa-Ko, corrected the sutras written in the scrolls into plain words and made efforts to dance widely even in Tsugaru. It is said that there is a record that Nobumasa-Ko added a lion dance to the Hirosaki Hachimangu Festival in 1682 and visited it. There are two types of lion dances that are performed at tsu receptions, celebrations, and events: bear lions and deer lions. The bear lions, which are mainly distributed in the mountains of Tsugaru, dance with short-horned horns, while the deer lions, which are distributed in the every year. The repayment was in the form of a deduction repayment of the produced raw silk (kiito) (a thread made by combining several fibers from the silk moth cocoon). The clan is calling for increased production, curbing the outflow to the outside, and negotiating to buy pupae (cocoons from which pupae have turned into moths, which are used for cotton and tsumugi). The raw silk that Dogen brought to Kyoto was evaluated by J

 area of ​​the plains, have branched horns and dance lightly while jumping. Is said to be a feature. The town is loved by cranes: Since ancient times, it has been written in the titles and poems as an auspicious bird that symbolizes longevity. In addition, since the couple are close to each other and love their children, they appear in the design of celebration as a congratulatory creature that connects them. Tsuruta is said to have been named after the town because many cranes flew in during the Edo period. In this town of happy cranes, you can see real cranes instead of objects at Tsuruta Town Japanese Crane Nature Park on the shores of Lake Tsugaru Fujimi. At the Tancho Crane Nature Park on the shores of Lake Fujimi, you can see the Tancho Crane, which is designated as a national special natural monument, up close through the fence. In 1993, he took over two feathers from Heilongjiang Province, China, and in 1997, he took over a pair from Amur Oblast, Russian Federation. Today, it seems that red-crowned cranes born in the town and borrowed from Tama Zoological Park are bred. In addition, at the firefly pond in the park, local elementary school students have been releasing Genji fireflies（Luciola cruciata）, Heike firefly（Aquatica lateralis）larvae, and the snail “Semisulcospira libertina” that feeds fireflies since 2007. Along with the beautiful waterside, you can see the fantastic sight of fireflies dancing in July. I would like to visit and see it once in the near future. Tsuruta Town History and Culture Tradition Hall: Founded in 1897, built in 1945 (formerly Mizumoto Elementary School). Location: “Life” is the 24th NHK Taiga drama broadcast from January 5th to December 14th, 1986. July 8, 1994 “Tsuru no Maihashi (300 m long triple drum bridge: No. 1 in Japan)”. Since it is difficult to confirm the details of the wholesale company, let's move on. Yamatami's CA storage (Controlled Atmosphere) is a method that regulates oxygen (1/10 of air), carbon dioxide, nitrogen, temperature, and humidity to enable long-term storage with good freshness. Minimize apple breathing. Furthermore, in detail, it refers to a storage method that minimizes the respiration of stored fruits and vegetables and suppresses the decrease in freshness by adjusting the oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide concentrations in the air（A gas replacement method that replaces the air in the storage with a gas such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide, a vacuum method that uses a vacuum pump to reduce the pressure inside the storage, and a chemical reaction that occurs at the boundary between the inside and outside of the storage. There are a polyelectrolyte method that discharges the gas inside the storage to the outside of the storage, an adsorption method that adsorbs the gas to the oxygen adsorbent installed in the storage, and the like. With either method, the amount of oxygen that oxidizes the food and reduces its freshness can be reduced from the storage, and the food can be kept in a reduced oxygen state.）. I want to make varieties that can contribute to the apple industry in Aomori Prefecture and Japan. Mr. Toki, the breeder, continued to think so and continued to sow apple seeds for 40 years to improve the variety. He has heard that it takes more than 10 years to grow one variety, even if it is said that she grows one variety. Furthermore, until the variety is registered, fertilizers are sown and pesticides are applied to apples that are uncertain whether they are growing varieties, and even though profits cannot be obtained, the cost will increase. In other words, breeding apples requires enormous time and money. In particular, “Toki” has been cultivated since 1985, and it took 16 years until 2001, when it applied for registration after various tests and characteristic surveys. It was born and the fruits were small at first, and in Japan, where large balls are preferred, it was not possible to put it on the market as a product. However, because of its high sugar content, good aroma, crispy texture, and good taste, he repeated research such as repeated grafting and succeeded in growing the small “toki” into a large ball. Now, let's take a look at the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries variety registration homepage from the Seedling Law. Application number 13911 Application date 2001/10/09 Application publication date 2002/08/13 Registration number 12306 Registration date 2004/11/08 Duration of breeder's rights 25 years Extinction date of breeder's rights, Name and address of cultivar registrant Harada Seed Co., Ltd.

(Nakajima-dori, Higashine City, Yamagata Prefecture): Name of the person who bred the registered varieties Mr. Sukekuro Taniuchi. This variety is selected from the hybrid seedling group of “Golden Delicious” and “Jonathan”, and is a purple-red variety that matures from early to mid-October in breeding and others (Nanbu Town, Sannohe District, Aomori Prefecture). The average size of the fruit is about 300g-350g, the fruit shape is conical and there is a medium crown on the scabbard. The pericarp is colored purple-red with stripes on the green-yellow background. The size of the fruit points is medium, and the density is low. The fruit stalk is long and thick.

The tree is similar to “Jonathan”, the size of the tree is medium, the shape of the tree is open, the tree vigor is weak, and the thickness of the shoots is thin.）”, and the fruit type is circular, the size is medium, and it matures in early October in the growing area (Goshogawara City, Aomori Prefecture). It is a mesophyll species. The appearance of the tree is open, and the tree vigor is medium. The thickness of the shoots, the internode length, the size of the lenticel and a little medium, and the epiphyte of the flower buds are large. Leaf size is medium, leaf shape is medium, leaf color is green, leaf shape is sickle, petiole length and thickness are medium. The size of the flower is medium, the color is pale peach, the shape of the petals is oval, and the color of the anther is pale yellow. Fruit type is circle, crown is weak, opening and closing of pericarp, depth and size of pericarp is medium, depth of fruit is shallow, size of fruit and size is medium, ground color and skin of pericarp Covered color is yellow, amount is small, intensity of covered color is light, rust position is side, amount is absent to slight, rusty fruit points are absent, fruit point size and density are medium, scarfskin (Similar to the fruit points, it is a pattern on the surface of the fruit, but it is not a clear dot pattern like the fruit points. It is thin and soft, it looks like a coarse cloth, and when it is enlarged, it looks like a thin cloud, irregular. No small scales), the waxiness of the pericarp is low, and the degree of rough slip is medium. The length of the fruit stalk is long, the thickness is thick, and there is no presence or absence of flesh.

The germination period and flowering period are medium, the maturity period is medium, and the growing area is in early October. Late fruit drop is absent to slight, normal storage and refrigeration storage are medium, and the occurrence of heart mold is absent to slight. Compared to “Orin Apple”, the fruit type is circular, the fruit stem is long, etc., and compared to “Kiou Apple”, there are no rust-like fruit points, the fruit stem is long, etc. Indistinguishability is recognized. From around 2002, the day after the application for registration, it seems that the evaluation in the production area market began to increase rapidly due to the good taste and the lack of promising yellow varieties in October. Production, which was about 700 tons in 2008, has tripled to more than 2,000 tons in 2013, five years later. In this way, I heard that “Toki” quickly became the core variety of the yellow variety in October. It is a famous story in Japan that the trainer, Mr. Toki, was awarded the “Jinya Kimura（Born in Aomori prefecture. He is a graduate of currently Iwate University Faculty of Agriculture. In 1924, he worked at the Hokkaido Agricultural Experiment Station to study paddy rice diseases, but in 1928 he worked at the Aomori Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station Horticultural Department (Aomori Prefectural Apple Experiment Station). I was involved in research on pest control methods in Aomori. He made great achievements in the history of apple cultivation, especially establishing a control system for apple Monilinia mali（It is an infectious disease caused by a type of mold, which occurs during the flowering and leaf-opening stages, and affects new leaves, leaves, new branches, and fruits. Damaged areas tend to soften or rot rapidly. When it is terrible, the damage spreads to the tip of the branch, and it seems that the tree vigor is significantly weakened.）and receiving a doctorate in agriculture from Hokkaido University. In 1970, the Jinya Kimura Apple Awards was established by people involved in apples, and since 1976, the Jinya Kimura Award has been presented to groups and individuals who have contributed to the promotion of the apple industry every year. He received the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Forestry Award in 1963 and the Order of the Rising Sun and Gold Rays with Rosette in 1975.）Writings such as “Apple cultivation complete editing” Award” (2010), which is given to the meritorious people of the Aomori apple industry by the Aomori Apple Association for this achievement. According to the association, the crested ibis produced by Mr. Toki is very good, and no variety has spread nationwide in such a short period of time. In addition, the demand for overseas exports is high, and it is said that it has become a variety that supports the cultivation base of this prefecture. In addition, he has been a caretaker and auditor at the Prefectural Apple Breeding Club for over 30 years since 1976, and has long supported apple breeding in the prefecture.

Fruit trees weigh 300-500g, and larger ones can produce more than 500g of fruit. The fruit shape is circular to oval, the skin is pale yellow, there are no rusty fruit points, and the appearance is beautiful. The flesh is hard, the sugar content is about 16% to 17%, and it is sweet and has a lot of juice. It has aroma and tastes good. The tree vigor is medium and open like “Orin Apple”, there are many branches, flower buds are good, and there is no pre-harvest fruit drop. Storability is about 1 month at room temperature and about 3 months when refrigerated. The main economic variety of Nakate species. 

It has the S2S9 genotype, and the cross is compatible with “Tsugaru Apple” and “Fuji Apple”. Is this painting Ursus thibetanus?

Shinonoi Oiwake lodging was not a post town approved by the Shogunate, but an inn between Tanbajima inn and Yashiro inn. Therefore, although facilities such as troop headquarters, sub-honjin, and Hatago in the formal sense were not established, it became a junction between the Hokkoku Highway and the Zenkoji West Highway. And it developed greatly with many travelers and worshipers of Zenkoji Temple pilgrimage.

Production and consumption of local food is an initiative to consume agricultural, forestry and fishery products (limited to those used for food) produced in the domestic area within the area where they are produced. In addition to improving the food self-sufficiency rate, it will also lead to the sixth-order industry through direct sales offices and processing efforts. Fresh and cheaper agricultural products can be obtained from places close to consumers. You can check the production status by yourself and get a sense of security. It is a great opportunity to get a sense of familiarity with food and agriculture and to deepen your understanding of the relationship between production and consumption and traditional food culture. It leads to an eco-friendly life. Producers can carry out efficient production that accurately grasps the needs of local consumers through a face-to-face relationship with consumers. By reducing distribution costs, the take-home pay of producers can be increased, and profitability can be expected to improve. By selling directly, it is possible to sell small quantities of products, processed / cooked products, and in some cases irregular or non-standard products. Face-to-face sales（counter service）directly receive consumer reactions and evaluations, and producers are more willing to improve quality and customer service. As a merit of the mediator, for municipalities and nutritionists, using local agricultural and livestock products for school lunch will lead to promotion of dietary education for students. By setting up a local agricultural products corner in the supermarket, it is possible to secure consumers who are looking for fresh and safe agricultural products. By providing unique menus that utilize local ingredients to restaurants and inns, it is possible to attract locals and tourists. For food manufacturers, using local ingredients can reduce distribution costs and environmental burdens. By selecting, using, and eating domestic agricultural, forestry and fishery products, many consumers will be able to produce more domestic agricultural, forestry and fishery products from producers, and from companies and organizations involved in food, domestic agricultural and forestry products. Better products, dishes and eating habits using marine products are proposed, so more people choose domestic agriculture, forestry and marine products: Food Action Nippon

According to Mr. Takizawa, the director of the representative union, the Kyowa Horticultural Agricultural Cooperative is a small and unique agricultural cooperative with 307 members who specialize in selling apples, with fruits accounting for more than 90%. Since its establishment in June 1948 in Shinshu Kyowa Village as the “Kyowa Village Horticultural Agriculture Cooperative”, it has been selling apples for 70 years with members who are enthusiastic about making apples. Recently, it has been a long time since the original mission of agricultural cooperatives, the production guidance business and sales business, was neglected and it was pointed out that the members were leaving the agricultural cooperative, but to strengthen the production guidance and sales business. The demands of union members are becoming even stronger than before. Almost 73 years ago, our seniors established the cooperative in anticipation of the original role of such agricultural cooperatives, and I think that their foresight is downright. The decline of agriculture and rural areas is scattered all over the country, and I am deeply saddened by the increase in idle devastated land. Because of this situation, agricultural cooperatives must return to the starting point of their role and strive to further exert their functions. While meeting the expectations of these members, we will work together with them to provide customers with safe, secure, and hearty delicious fruits, so please look forward to it. It was that. By the way, Mr. Takizawa, who works as the union leader, is also an officer of the Nagano City Agricultural Corporation. Location: Okada, Nakagosho, Nagano City (JA Nagano Kaikan 3rd floor): Agriculture in Nagano City is declining in vitality due to the decrease in the number of farmers due to the aging population and the shortage of successors, and the increase in damage to idle farmland and harmful birds and beasts, and the amount of agricultural output is decreasing. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to unify the information, accumulation and know-how possessed by related organizations such as governments, agricultural cooperatives, and commercial contractors, and to establish a new organizational system that functions efficiently and effectively. Reconstruction of agricultural work support system, promotion of agricultural land use accumulation facilitation business, securing of training of diverse bearers, and farmers and consumers through business management in which farmers, agricultural organizations, commerce and industry businesses, and government are integrated It is said that the aim is to strengthen ties with urban residents and to contribute to the development of agriculture in Nagano City and the revitalization of local communities and economies. What is the “Naga no Life” product certification system? We have certified “Nagano Life” products as safe and delicious processed products using vegetables and fruits produced mainly in the mountainous areas of Nagano City. Certification criteria: The main raw materials for the products to be certified are agricultural products produced by members of the public corporation, or 70% or more of the raw materials are produced in Nagano City. Unique and excellent quality. The production and manufacturing process is transparent and the safety is reliable. Stable and continuous production is expected. It should be a product that is particularly revitalized in mountainous areas, such as the creation of new employment. The product does not violate the regulations of the Food Sanitation Law (Law No. 233 of 1947) or the Law Concerning Standardization of Agricultural and Forestry Materials and Appropriate Quality Labeling (Law No. 175 of 1950). For a list of “Nagano no Inochi” certified products by genre, please refer to the website of the Nagano City Agricultural Corporation. Kyowa Gardening Direct Sales Office: The union direct sales office sells freshly picked apples from that period, from gifts to private use. In addition, it seems that you can buy cheap scratched apples such as 520 yen with about 8 bags that can only be bought at the direct sales office. If you eat it at home as soon as possible, it is very affordable and easy on your wallet. It is also good to be used for cooking such as sweets and jams. In addition, as another popular product, it seems that it also sells “Yam”, a specialty product of Matsushiromachi, Nagano City. If the peculiar stickiness is irresistible, it seems that there are some neighbors who come here for this purpose. In addition, various bargains such as various fresh vegetables harvested by neighboring farmers will appear depending on the day. Well, what will happen when you come? It's fun to come. By all means, please visit Kyowa and feel free to ask the employees who are also local sisters to buy delicious Kyowa apples. 121 years in the sun. Straight taste that has been passed down. The “Shinonoi” district of Nagano City is located at the southernmost tip. The Japanese Alps is far to the west, the Sugadaira Plateau is to the east, the Chikuma River is to the south, and the Iizuna River is to the north. Surrounded by nature, Zenkojidaira (Shinano no Kuni: Yotsudaira: From the south to Chikuma City, Nagano City, Suzaka City, Obuse Town, Takayama Village, Iizuna Town, Nakano City, the entire Chikuma River basin) Therefore, in 1966 (Showa 41), due to the merger with Nagano City, “Suzaka City” became the Shinonoi district of Nagano City. Currently, it is an area that plays a sub-center role in the southern part of Nagano City. The main industry is that a commercial area with a mixture of houses is formed around Shinonoi Station, and roadside commercial facilities, business establishments, factories, etc. are located along the national highway. Nagano (Shinano: Gokishichido refers to the Kinai five countries of Yamato, Yamashiro, Settsu, Kawachi, and Izumi, and the seven roads refer to the seven sections of Tokaido, Tosando, Hokurikudo, Sanindo, Sanyodo, Nankaido, and Saikaido）: Tosan-do) is a representative apple producing area. The history of “APPLE” cultivation in Nagano Prefecture is 1874”Industrial Promotion Board” “Home Ministry” was set up in the first-class dormitory in charge of the breeding industry, 1877) From the Ministry of Home Affairs to the Industrial Promotion Bureau, 1881, it was reorganized into the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce and promoted to a ministry. It is said that the cultivation of “APPLES” began and was spread throughout the prefecture from around 1897 to the end of the Taisho era. Over time, the representative varieties of “apples” around 1945 were “Kunimitsu: Kokko” and “Jonathan apple: born in New York”. Variety breeding began around 1965. History of Nagano Prefecture Fire School: May 1956 Established “Nagano Prefecture Fire Training Center” at 452 Nagano City Prefectural Town (currently Nagano Prefecture Land Improvement Hall). October 1959 Renamed to “Nagano Prefecture Fire School”. 1962 January 1022, Kitaishidocho, Nagano City, moved to the National Health Insurance Hall (currently Nagano University Preparatory School). May 1962, moved to 140 Okada, Nagano City, Nagano Prefectural Silkworm Experiment Station (currently NBS Nagano Broadcasting). Moved to 452 Nagano Prefectural Town (currently Nagano Prefectural Land Improvement Hall). Moved to 967-1 Shinonoi Fuse Takada (currently Nagano Prefectural Buried Cultural Center) in August 1968. Relocated to the present. March 1993 Expanded emergency training room, ordinary classroom, etc. in the education management building. March 1995 Expanded the land, expanded accommodation facilities (west dormitory) and water discharge training ground, and opened a circuit training ground. Relocation. The famous fire brigade has a long history. It is said that the establishment of “Iroha Shijuhachigumi” was the predecessor of today's fire brigade. By giving each fire extinguisher a name such as “Iroha”, the result was that they competed for each other's honor and worked, which resulted in great results in the development of firefighting. Although the town fire extinguisher was under the supervision of the town magistrate, it was a purely self-governing organization, all expenses were borne by the town, and the organization and personnel were left to the freedom of the town officials. Moreover, most of the cost was spent on purchasing equipment and equipment, and the members were unpaid. At that time, the firefighting in the villages was mainly rush firefighting, and it seems that there was no organized firefighting like a castle town. In the olden days, this rush firefighting was hit by a five-member group that originated in the five-family system after the “Taika Reform” and a youth group that can be called the current youth club. In the Meiji era, the town fire extinguisher was transferred to Tokyo Prefecture, and Tokyo Prefecture established a fire department in 1870 and reorganized the town fire extinguisher into a fire department. In 1873, firefighting affairs were transferred to the Ministry of Home Affairs, and firefighting under Tokyo Prefecture was transferred to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, which was newly established in 1873. This became the basis of the organizational activities of the Meiji fire department. However, there are few public firefighting groups nationwide, and most of them are private firefighting groups as autonomous organizations, and it seems that there were many that were just names. Therefore, in order to foster an efficient firefighting organization that responds quickly to the development of society, the government enacted the Firefighting Group Regulations (Edict No. 15) in 1894, taking the opportunity of reorganizing the local system, and set the firefighting group to prefectures. As the governor's jurisdiction, he sought to unify nationwide. The specific content is that the governor should set up the firefighting team ex officio, and it is a strong absolute supreme order that the existing firefighting team should not be recognized or the ones organized by the municipalities should not be approved. However, while the fire brigade was under the control of the governor's police authority, it was stipulated that all costs should be borne by the municipalities. Even after the enforcement of the rules, the establishment of firefighting teams did not proceed slowly, but it seems that the number increased dramatically at the end of the Taisho era due to the active efforts of police chiefs and others. From around 1929, under the guidance of the military, protection teams were formed in various places as private air defense groups. The Air Defense Law was enacted in 1937, and as the international situation deteriorated, it became urgent to improve the national defense system. In 1938, under the name of the Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, a draft of the guidelines for the integration of the two groups was issued regarding the unification of the fire brigade and the protection team, and the outline of the integration of the two groups, which is the basis for the enactment of the Edict, was decided. After these, in order to integrate the fire brigade and the guard team and establish a new guard organization, the “Guard Team Ordinance” was promulgated with a decree in January 1939. As a result, the fire brigade since the Meiji era was dissolved, and it was launched all over the country as a guard team on April 1 of the same year, and it seems that the war ended with the addition of air defense missions to the conventional water fire fire fighting business as a police auxiliary organization. After the war, a report from the US Investigation Team recommended the separation of police and fire departments, and the General Headquarters instructed the reform of the police system. The Ministry of Home Affairs promulgated a fire brigade decree on April 30, 1947, following a report from the Police System Council. As a result, the conventional guard team was dissolved, and a new voluntary democratic “fire brigade” was formed in municipalities nationwide. However, in response to the police system council's report and the government's thinking, the General Headquarters considered that the content of democratization was incomplete and did not approve the police system reform plan in line with the report. The government drafted a firefighting organization bill and asked for the approval of the general headquarters, but the general headquarters partially revised the memorandum on the firefighting system (in the memorandum, Municipal Public Safety Commission was changed to “Municipal firefighting manages municipalities.” Changed to “belongs to”) I have also notified the outline of the bill prepared by the Private Information Bureau. The Ministry of Interior revised the bill based on this, and promulgated the Fire Defense Organization Law on December 23, 1947. As a result, the fire department became independent from the police, and all the duties were transferred to the municipalities.In addition, a new fire brigade ordinance was promulgated on March 24, 1948 in order to thoroughly enforce the purpose of the Fire Fighting Organization Law and to change the fire brigade ordinance, which was a decree, to a government ordinance. The authority to command and supervise the fire brigade was transferred from the chief of the police department or the chief of the police (fire chief) to the mayor, the chief of the fire department, or the chief of the fire department. It was abolished. After that, some fire brigade ordinances lacked clarification about the ground law, and the Cabinet Order actually enforces the matters already stipulated by the Constitution or the law, except when there is a special delegation in the law. It is limited to so-called enforcement orders that make the necessary provisions (Article 73, Item 6 of the Constitution), and without the delegation of law, it is not possible to impose obligations or establish provisions that limit rights. Since it is not possible (Article 11 of the Cabinet Law), it is not appropriate to stipulate basic matters concerning the fire brigade in a cabinet order with such characteristics. It seems that Article 15-2 was added and the fire brigade ordinance was abolished at the same time. After that, under the situation where fires frequently occurred even after the enactment of the Organization Law, which was a major obstacle in the process of rebuilding Japan, the Fire Fighting Organization Law was amended by the legislation of lawmakers in March 1951 in order to strengthen and expand the fire fighting organization. rice field. As a result, the installation of a fire engine, which was voluntary, has become mandatory. In this way, the fire brigade has undergone various transitions since it was established as the originator of the Yoshiyu fire brigade in the Edo period (see the Fire and Disaster Management Agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the history of the fire brigade).

It was thought that rice cultivation was introduced in the Yayoi period, but it has been discovered that the Akodai-style pottery of the Jomon period, about 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, had indentations of rice paddy. It is older than the Minamimizote site in Okayama prefecture, which was the oldest in the Jomon period 3,000 to 4,000 years ago. Amakusa is also known for its location in the Japanese archipelago and for boating events in the south, and it is speculated that it could be the first window for Jomon rice cultivation and culture from the Korean Peninsula, the continent, and the southern waters. The Oya site is said to be located on a sand dune 2.5 m to 3 m above sea level formed on the left bank of the mouth of the Hirose River in the northern part of the former Hondo city. The area of ​​the ruins is about 10,000 m2, and it mainly contains the relics from the early to late Jomon period, and there is an inclusion layer in the late Jomon period. The specified range was 2,863 m2. Small-scale excavation for compiling city history in 1988 and archaeological site confirmation survey in 1992. As a result, about 10,000 relics have been excavated. The main ones are clay figurines, beast-shaped clay products, rock figurines, shafts of stone hooks, stamp-type clay figurines, scrapers, stone harpoons, etc. These relics are valuable as an indication of the complex influence of continental and eastern Japanese culture.

Kazuharu Shima (Akase) (1930-2008) entered the aircraft mechanic training center in Kumamoto after graduating from elementary school in the village. He then moves to the same training center in Niigata, but returns home at the end of the war. After that, he worked for fertilizer companies and lime mines. He is 20 years old and married his childhood friend. However, he suffers from tuberculosis due to overwork and is forced to fight for a long time. With the care of his devoted wife, he soon recovered.

Theory: Law No. 132 of 1947, Agricultural Cooperatives Law（Final Amendment: December 11, 2019 Law No. 71）, Cooperatives are autonomous organizations of people, jointly owned and democratic by those who voluntarily joined hands. The purpose is to fulfill common economic, social and cultural needs and wishes through the business entity managed by. One of the words that expresses the idea of ​​a cooperative is everyone is for one person, one is for everyone. Each person plays a leading role, and based on the idea of ​​independence and independence, it is an organization that fulfills each desire to make our lives, regions, the world, and the times happy. Agricultural cooperatives (agricultural cooperatives) are one of the cooperatives, established based on the Agricultural Cooperatives Law (Agricultural Cooperatives Law), and given legal personality. I heard that the purpose of the Agricultural Cooperative Law is “to promote the development of cooperative organizations of farmers, thereby increasing agricultural productivity and improving the economic and social status of farmers, thereby contributing to the development of the national economy.” It is an organization organized by small and medium-sized producers and consumers to improve their businesses and lives from the perspective of mutual aid. Cooperatives include consumer life cooperatives whose members are consumers and small and medium-sized enterprises whose members are small and medium-sized enterprises, and agricultural cooperatives also indicate cooperatives whose members are farmers. Chapter 1 General Provisions: Article 1, this law aims to increase agricultural productivity and improve the economic and social status of farmers by promoting the development of cooperative organizations of farmers, thus of the national economy. The purpose is to contribute to development. (2001, Law 94, partial amendment) Chapter 2, Article 4.2, A person who is not an agricultural cooperative or a federation of agricultural cooperatives shall not use the characters agricultural cooperative or federation of agricultural cooperatives in its name. On October 1, 1992, 12 JAs in 2 cities and 9 towns in Amakusa jurisdiction merged to form “JA Amakusa”. After that, in January 1997, a branch office was opened in Goshouramachi, which was an area where JA was not installed, and in October of the same year, JA Ryugatakecho was absorbed and merged. Amakusa's warm climate is ideal for citrus cultivation. A variety of citrus fruits such as Satsuma mandarin, Ponkan（Citrus reticulata）, Pearl citrus, Kiyomi orange, and Amakusa late citrus are carefully cultivated, including the high-class fruit Dekopon（Citrus reticulata Siranui）, which can be proud of throughout the country. In addition, this blessed climate is suitable as a production area for ultra-early rice, and is also famous as the earliest shipping area for Koshihikari Rice in Kumamoto prefecture. Amakusa Japanese black beef, which is bred all over the island, is working to establish a new brand. Amakusa calves may become famous Japanese beef in various places. In addition, we also cultivate vegetables, including lettuce from national brands, and produce many items such as okra, cherry tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, onions, and cucumbers. Fruits such as strawberries, peaches, loquats and melons are also cultivated in small quantities. Flower cultivation is also popular in areas centered on the Oyano and Shinwa areas. Gypsophila, carnation, statice, eustoma, etc. seem to bloom beautiful flowers from December to May. Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture, merged with 2 cities and 8 towns, Hondo City, Ushibuka City, Ariake Town, Goshoura Town, Kuratake Town, Sumoto Town, Shinwa Town, Itsuwa Town, Amakusa Town, and Kawaura Town, in March 2006. Born on the 27th. Located in the southwestern part of the prefecture, it is located in the center of the Amakusa Islands, which consists of Amakusa Uejima, Amakusa Shimojima, and Goshourajima, which are surrounded by the beautiful indigo sea. The area is 683.82 km2 (as of October 1, 2019), which is the largest in the prefecture. Most of the terrain is occupied by forests, steep and few plains, urban areas and agricultural lands develop in flat areas along rivers and estuaries of coastlines, and national roads and prefectural roads are arranged along the coastline to connect urban areas. , Seems to be in place. I hear that the industry has mainly developed agriculture that makes use of the warm climate and fishing that makes use of abundant fishery resources. It is also blessed with many tourism resources such as natural scenery, southern Barbarians

culture and Christian history. It takes about two hours by car from Kumamoto City, where the prefectural office is located, but it is expected to develop in all fields as a base for the west coast of Kyushu that connects Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, and Kagoshima, such as industrial development and interregional exchanges. Raised as a community. The average temperature for 10 years (FY2008-FY2017) at the Kumamoto Local Meteorological Observatory Hondo Area Observatory（Location: Hontobaba, Hondo Town, Amakusa City, Latitude / Longitude: 32 degrees 28.1 minutes north latitude 130 degrees 10.8 minutes east longitude, sea level height: 30 m, anemometer height: 6.5 m, thermometer height: 1.5 m, Observation start date: 1977.2.25.）is 16.5 ℃, the maximum temperature is 35.9 ℃, and the minimum temperature is -3.3 ℃. Due to the influence of warm currents, it seems that it has a warm oceanic climate in winter and relatively cool in summer, such as a frost-free area in a part of the coast. In addition, the average precipitation for 10 years is 2,213.2 mm, and about one-third of the annual precipitation is concentrated during the rainy season in June and July, and from July to September, it overlaps with the time when typhoons are likely to approach. Damage caused by wind and rain is frequent. The village of Sakizu in Amakusa is located in Kawauramachi, Amakusa City, and is evaluated as a village that continued to worship while coexisting with Buddhism, Shintoism, and Christianity under the prohibition of religion. As one, it was certified as a World Cultural Heritage in July 2018. Sakitsu was started in 1569 by Jesuit monk Almeida, and most of the villagers became Christians. A church and missionary residences have been built in the village, and a religious organization consisting of three subgroups has been formed as an organization to support the church. After that, Amakusa was dominated by Yukinaga Konishi, a Christian Japanese feudal lord, and from 1591 to 1597, a collegio to train missionaries was set up in the village next to Sakitsu. It is said that four Tenshō embassy students are also enrolled here. It seems that the Romaji letterpress printing from Japan was performed by the Gutenberg printing machine they brought back. According to Luis Frois's “History of Japan”, the village of Sakitsu was called “Sashinotsu” and was regarded as an important place of worship. Medal and Rosario has been introduced. Sakitsu Church, also known as the “Oura Cathedral of the Sea,” designed and constructed by Yosuke Tetsukawa, a master of church architecture. Built around 1934 during the time of Father Harbu, the Tenshodo is located in the center of the village overlooking the Suwa Shrine, and when viewed from the Chapel Bell Observatory Park, it looks like it floats in the Kawaura Bay in the background. It is said. The spiers that rise in the front are made of reinforced concrete, and the interior is mainly made of wood, which is unusual for a church. On the other hand, to explain in more detail, it seems that the Christians of Shimo-Amakusa, who did not participate in the Shimabara-Amakusa Rebellion, hid in the Sakitsu Village, which could only be reached by sea, and deepened their faith. In the Amakusa region, in 1566, the lord Hisatane AMAKUSA allowed the missionary Luis de Almeida to preach for the purpose of Nanban trade, and since then many Christians have lived throughout Amakusa. During the Shimabara-Amakusa Rebellion, the Christians of Kamiamakusa, who were close to Shimabara, joined the rebellion and died. On the other hand, fortunately, the Christians in the Shimo-Amakusa region had little information, so they escaped the difficulties and decided to hide in a limited village such as the Sakitsu village, which was only accessible by boat at that time. It seems that it has become. (Currently, the national highway No. 389 bypass is used, but at that time it was only possible to go by sea, so it was possible to hide.) Hidden Christians disguised themselves as Buddhists and visited Sakitsu Suwa Shrine. I heard that he continued to keep his faith. After the Shimabara-Amakusa Rebellion, the religion was changed and the danka system began, and a guardhouse was set up and religious control became stricter. The Christians seemingly respected the gods and Buddha in order to protect their faith, and played Buddhists to hide. It is said that there is a tradition that when visiting the Sakizu Suwa Shrine, which was built in 1651, he used to say “Amen Deus”. In 1873, the Persecution of Christians in Japan (in 1612, the second shogun Hidetada Tokugawa banned Christian beliefs from the direct control of the shogunate and his vassals, and the following year, a decree that spread throughout the country. Those who did not follow this and the missionaries were expelled from the country. At first, the shogunate tolerated Christianity, but as the number of Christians increased, it became afraid that it would hinder the rule of the Edo shogunate. In addition, the Western lord wanted to prevent profits from trade. Therefore, the shogunate began to ban the mission of Christianity. The third shogun, Iemitsu, further banned it. After the rebellion of Shimabara and Amakusa in 1637, the Christian straitjacket was further strengthened), and the return to Catholicism began in 1876 in Sakitsu. Many converted, and in 1880 a small hut-like church was built next to Suwa Shrine. In the middle of the Meiji era, 550 out of 600 Sakitsu were converted, and more than 300 congregations still live there. In the past, Kumamoto was bred with one of the largest chickens in Japan called “Amakusa Daiou”, and it was said that it was highly prized mainly for “Boiling in Hakata, Fukuoka” because of its deliciousness and good meat quality. However, unfortunately, it became extinct in the early Showa period due to the fact that it was a large species with a low egg production rate and the spread of imported species that also serve as egg meat. After that, there was no end to the desire to restore “Amakusa Daiou”, which has a reputation for its good meat quality and usability, and after spending a long time of 10 years at the Kumamoto Prefectural Agricultural Research Center, it finally became one of the largest illusions in Japan. It leads to the restoration of the local chicken “Amakusa Daiou”. As the name suggests, it is the largest male and has a height of 90 cm and a weight of about 7 kg. The meat is not too hard and not too soft, and is characterized by its exquisite texture, elasticity and juiciness. It has a slight sweetness and richness, but it is not persistent or peculiar, and once you eat it, its taste is forever memorable. The body is very large, and not only is the amount of meat abundant due to its size, which is one of the largest in Japan, but also all parts such as thigh meat, breast meat, chicken meat, etc. can be used without waste, so the taste and usability etc. It is popular as an ideal ingredient in every aspect. The history of Kamiamakusa City is that this area, which is located at the junction of the Ariake Sea and the Yashiro Sea, is believed to have been dominated by fisherman (Amabito) for a long time as a cornerstone of sea transportation, and is scattered with some of the prefecture's leading decorated tombs. It seems that Oyano and Matsushima belonged to Mr. Oyano, and Ryugatake and Himedo belonged to Mr. Sumoto during the so-called Amakusa Five People era before the Edo period. After the Amakusa Shimabara Rebellion, the Shogunate dispatched the entire Amakusa area as an imperial fief in May 1640, and dispatched the direct retainer of a shogun 700 Koku Shigenari SUZUKI as the Amakusa Edo-period prefectural governor (magistrate, bailiff). In the year, 10 groups (86 villages) per town were set up on the whole island, and they were dominated by Tomioka magistrate's office. At the same time, he set up a large shoya in each group, a shoya in each village, an elderly person, and a peasant family, and he said that they were maintained as an administrative agency. In August 1868, Amakusa became the jurisdiction of Nagasaki Prefecture from imperial fief, and in December 1869, the entire island was reorganized into 40 villages. After that, in 1871, Amakusa was incorporated into Yatsushiro prefecture, and then in January 1872, I heard that it became the jurisdiction of Higo country Shirakawa prefecture (currently Kumamoto prefecture). From 1954 to 1956, the so-called “the Great Merger of the Showa Era” created Oyano Town, Matsushima Town, and Ryugatake Town, and in 1962 Himedo Town was born. It was incorporated into Unzen-Amakusa National Park in 1956, and the Amakusa five bridges were completed in September 1966. It seems that it became. Amakusa Airport opened in 1999, and the Kumamoto Amakusa Highway (Regional High Standard Highways) was partially opened in 2002, improving the convenience of wide-area transportation. On March 31, 2004, Kamiamakusa City was born by merging the four towns of Amakusa Ueshima (Oyano Town, Matsushima Town, Himedo Town, and Ryugatake Town), which had strong ties as the gateway to Amakusa. In addition, the scenery of Matsushima, which is one of the three major Matsushima islands in Japan, and the view from the Kyushu Nature Trail (Kankai Alps) such as Ryugatake and Shiratake, show a beautiful expression every season as a scenic spot. The climate is a typical West Sea climate, with an average annual temperature of about 17.2 ° C, annual precipitation of 1,839 millimeters (from the 2018 Japan Meteorological Agency website), only a few snowfalls, and part of the coast is frost-free. It seems that it has become. Due to the relatively warm climate throughout the year, fruit trees and flowers are actively cultivated. The total area is 126.94 Km2, which extends about 15 km east-west and about 28 km north-south.  The breakdown is 54.2% for forests, 22.4% for fields, and 5.7% for residential land (as of January 1, 2018). Among them, Oyano Island has many hills with relatively gentle slopes, and it seems that flower cultivation and dairy farming are carried out. Paddy fields spread around the rivers that flow through each region, and the scenery is wonderful and reminds me of the countryside. Special products are Amakusa sardines, Dotted gizzards, dried young sardines, red sea bream (red sea bream), octopus, Yushima radish, prawns, golden pike conger, and sardines! Zhu Jiro (Gypsophila), Gypsophila, Pearl, Amakusa whetstone, Chrysanthemum, Yoyogama (popular with a warm, rounded shape and presence), ZoZo kiln (“warm porcelain” made from natural ceramic stone The theme is to create highly original works one after another. Characterized by the rich expression created by natural materials). Shiro is from Kamiamakusa City? Shiro AMAKUSA, who led 37,000 people and challenged the shogunate, seems to be a legendary person full of mystery and romance, but he is a real person. He is a boy born between Jinbei Masuda, a ronin of the Konishi family, and Malta (baptismal name) from the same city, and his name is Shiro Masuda Tokisada. In 1637, a large-scale riot occurred in Shimabara and Amakusa in Kyushu. Both were originally ruled by “Christian daimyo” and were inhabited by many Christians. However, the new feudal lord suppressed Christianity and paid a heavy annual tribute. The damage of famine was added to this, and the people finally stood up. The general general of Ikki is a boy in his mid-teens called “Amakusa Shiro” who was a Christian and had religious charisma. Shiro led more than 30,000 people and stood in Harajo, Amakusa, and fought bravely against the shogunate and clan forces. At that time, the flag raised by the people is still there. Blood stains and holes that appear to have been gun bullets show the fierceness of the battle. The Shogunate, which saw the situation seriously, made the crackdown on Christianity even more severe. Now, let's get into the introduction of this product. In 1940, the deceased Yuji Kikuchi of Hachijojima introduced it from Tinian Island in the Northern Mariana Islands of the Federated States of Micronesia to Hachijojima. After that, seedlings taken from the original forest grown on Hachijojima were brought to Chichijima in the Ogasawara Islands in 1973. Returned to Japan from the US occupation after World War II. The distance from the Ogasawara Islands to Tinian is about 1400 km, and Guam is nearby. Kikuchi Lemon (Saipan Lemon) is an evergreen tree of the Rutaceae family. It seems to be a sport of Meyer lemon found in China. It seems that the mother species, Meyer lemon, was born from a natural cross between lemon and sweet orange. Therefore, the impression is that there is little acidity. The altitude of the tree is about 1 to 3 m. Compared to ordinary lemons, the acidity of the flesh is mild and the skin is not very thick, and when matured on the tree, the skin is not very thick and there is no bitterness. Also, because it is sweet, it is said that the peel is used for every meal on Hachijojima. The fruits are somewhat smaller than regular lemons, but rounded. When sweetened, it becomes orange. The impression that Yap Lemon (Kikuchi Lemon, Saipan Lemon) has fewer seeds and lighter skin and flesh than Meyer Lemon. We must not forget how this variety came to this day. Thanks to Frans Nicholass Meijer (1875-1918), a Dutch plant hunter employed by the US Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. It seems that the name is also associated with him.

More vulnerable to cold than Lisbon species. It is ever-bearing (the property of fruiting year-round without being affected by day length or temperature), and it has good flowering and is multi-fruited. Cute white flowers bloom from the light pink buds. I heard that open-field cultivation is possible in warm regions and general regions on the Pacific Ocean side.

Kumamoto Green Lemon: Flower language is discretionary and sincere love. The fruit is passionate. 

Mr. Inoue, Mr. Takanashi, Mr. Suda, etc. have been in power as national lords and formed a samurai corps. It seems that they were on the side of Uesugi in the Battle of Kawanakajima, some were on the side of Takeda, and some of them were divided into two groups. The battle also seems to have been a battle for their survival to protect their homes and territories. The sacrifices of the warlords who participated in the battle, both those who followed Takeda and those who followed Uesugi, were considerable. In the Hitaki district of Suzaka City, where Mr. Suda's castle, which controlled the advantage of the land, was located, there was a residence at the foot of the mountain, and there was a mountain castle called Oiwa Castle at the top of the mountain behind. Parent and child Suda, who escaped from Echigo, are on the side of the scenic spot in the battle over the traces of Kenshin, “Odate's Ran (a house turmoil that occurred between Kenshin's adopted children, Kagekatsu and Kagetora, over the successor of the family)”. However, he became a senior vassal of the Uesugi family. After the destruction of the Oda clan, Kita Shinano became the ruler of Uesugi, and Mitsuchika Suda became the “Kaizu castle lord” of Matsushiro in 1585 by the order of scenic beauty. It is a large delegation of authority such as police power and military command.

Since the opening of the Port of Ansei in the Days of the Tokugawa shogunate, the export volume of raw silk seems to have increased dramatically. In order to catch up with developed countries, the new Meiji government actively promoted the policy of national prosperity and defense / encouragement of new industry, introduced instrumental silk reeling technology from France and Italy, and in October 1872, the government-owned Tomioka silk reeling factory Opened. Instrumental silk reeling in the Suzaka region was started by Ginkuro Aoki Mansaku Endo, and in May 1875, Japan's first Tokosha (Silk reeling association: meaning to export raw silk from Yokohama to the United States via the Ozasa Highway) was launched in Suzaka Town. , It seems that we have collected less than 10 small silk reeling factories. In 1885, “Shunmeisha” was established, and the silk-reeling association seems to have become the mainstream of the silk-reeling industry in Nagano Prefecture. In 1889, the number of affiliated factories was 102, and the number of female workers increased to about 3,500. Suzaka developed as a major silk-reeling town. Also, in the middle of the Meiji era, the scale of individual companies expanded, and Jusaburo Koshi, who was later said to be the silk-reeling king (father of Japanese capitalism: decided to be a portrait of a 10,000-yen bill,) has a close relationship with Eiichi Shibusawa, who is drawing attention.) Formed the “Yamamaru Gumi; Group” centered on the silk-reeling factories of relatives, and also built silk-reeling factories outside the prefecture in Omiya City, Saitama Prefecture, Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture, Shibata City, Niigata Prefecture, etc. It has grown into a company. Yamamaru Group has set up cocoon purchasing offices in 45 prefectures in Japan and uses telegraphs to contact the head office to purchase raw cocoons, and the telegraph code (encryption table) is still stored.

Named after ‘SHINANO’ (Nagano Prefecture), where you can fully enjoy the sweetness.

 【Major features】

JA Nagano is located in the northernmost part of Nagano Prefecture, including the capital city of Nagano. It is roughly divided into “Miyuki block”, “Shiga Kogen block”, “Nagano block”, “Suko block” and “Chikuma block”. In the jurisdiction, it is formed by the rich alluvial plain formed by the Chikuma and Sai rivers, which are the headwaters of the Shinano River, which is the largest river in Japan, and the highlands such as the Shiga Plateau and Tokakushi Plateau. It is also one of the most heavy snowfall areas in Japan, mainly in the north, and the snow that has fallen on the mountains is said to be clear meltwater and moisturize the village. In addition, the four seasons are clear and the temperature difference between day and night is large, and I hear that this characteristic is a major factor in adding sweetness to agricultural products and growing them deliciously. As for fruits such as apples, grapes, peaches and apricots, it is one of the best high-quality and stable supply areas in Japan. It is said that the basic conditions for abundant agricultural products are set by the fertile land created by the Chikuma and Sai rivers that flow through the center of JA Nagano and the clean water that originates from the melted snow. In addition, the unique climate, which has relatively little rain and a large temperature difference between day and night, seems to lead to the growth of high-quality agricultural products that are sweet and have good coloring. In addition, it is also attempted to maintain the season when delicious food can be eaten for a long time by shifting the peak of shipment in each area by utilizing the complicated terrain with different altitudes. The town of Nagano has developed around the town of not having called any tiles, which was formed in front of the Zenkoji Temple gate. According to “Zenkoji Engi”, Zenkoji Nyorai is the Amitabha triad sent from Paekche; ancient Korean kingdom (18 BCE-660 CE) and moved to the Minochi District in Shinano Province in 602. Zenkoji became famous all over the country as a sacred place for the Amida worship along with the spread of the Pure Land Buddhism since the end of the Heian period. The current main hall was rebuilt in 1707, and its floor area seems to be the largest national treasure in eastern Japan. I hear that there are many cultural properties in the precincts, such as the national treasure Zenkoji main hall attached kitchen, the mountain gate of important cultural properties, and the Kyozo. In addition, around Zenkoji, there is a townscape of the Inbo area where shukubo are lined up, a townscape of tiled roofs leading to the approach, and a townscape of the old store area where brewery buildings are gathered. Set in these historical streets, historical festivals such as the Zenkoji Gokaicho, which counts once every seven years, and the Gion Festival at Yasaka Shrine, which is adjacent to the Zenkoji precincts, are held. Around Zenkoji, there are many ancient shrines called “Zenkoji 7” such as Miwa Shrine, Yubuku Shrine, and Takei Shrine. There is a historic building in the precincts, and it is said that traditional festivals are inherited by local residents. In 1874, the Ministry of Interior's Industrial Promotion Board (Agricultural and Industrial Commerce, Ministry of Interior, Aomori Industry: Agricultural Policy, responsible for the period of the government that reorganized the pioneer ambassador, Baron Yoshio TANAKA (agricultural scholar) from Iida City, Natural history) Saplings will be distributed nationwide, centered on the samurai, and apple cultivation will begin in suitable areas such as Aomori and Nagano prefectures.（Most of the apple-producing areas are said to have been in use since the distribution of seedlings by the Ministry of Interior in 1874.）Zenkojidaira (Shinano no Kuni: Yotsudaira: From the south to Chikuma City, Nagano City, “Suzaka City”, “Obuse Town”, “Takayama Village”, Iizuna Town, Nakano City, the entire Chikuma River basin) Therefore, in 1966 (Showa 41), due to the merger with Nagano City, “Suzaka City” became the Shinonoi district of Nagano City. Currently, it is an area that plays a sub-center role in the southern part of Nagano City. The main industry is that a commercial area with a mixture of houses is formed around Shinonoi Station, and roadside commercial facilities, business establishments, factories, etc. are located along the national highway. Nagano (Shinano: Gokishichido（Refers to the Kinai five countries of Yamato, Yamashiro, Settsu, Kawachi, and Izumi, and the seven roads refer to the seven sections of Tokaido, Tosando, Hokurikudo, Sanindo, Sanyodo, Nankaido, and Saikaido）: Tosan-do) is a representative apple producing area. It is said that production got off to a good start in the 1887s. In Nagano prefecture, it is said that the sericulture area has increased rapidly due to the prefecture's recommendation for apple cultivation due to the sericulture of silkworms caused by the global economic crisis in the early Showa period. In recent years, JA Nagano has been in a difficult environment due to the aging of farmers, future population decline, intensifying market competition due to international free trade agreements such as TPP, and a decrease in financial business profits due to the prolonged negative interest rate policy. Correspondingly, it seems that it is promoting the restructuring of branches and bases. In the Suko block, the grape varieties are being updated and the area is expanding, so it seems that the policy is to continue the operation of the 4 collection shipping facilities (Suzaka, Takaho, Hino, Obuse) for the time being. By expanding Shine Muscat in the future, if it is necessary to index the rating (a fruit selection system using AI), it will aim to consolidate it into two locations (around February 2021). In the co-selection center for apples and peaches, the Inoue co-selection center will be the Sutaka Fruit Center (Kojima Town) at 2021, and the Obuse Daiichi Fruit Center (Oshima) and the Takayama Co-selection Center (Araihara) will be the Sutaka Fruit Center. I heard that we will improve the acceptance system and aim for integration. The company plans to use the Inoue Co-selection Center later and make it a comprehensive materials center operated by Zen-Noh Nagano in 2021. In addition, the mutual aid business of the Takayama branch was transferred to the Obuse branch in 2021. JA Nagano operates a comprehensive material center in the Inoue store, which is the base for delivery. In November 2020, the former Ninrei branch, where the number of ATMs used has decreased significantly, was abolished, and the equipment installed in the former Tsusumi branch was transferred to the newly built Obuse branch in December of the same year. In Nagano prefecture, which is called the roof of Japan, Suzaka is a low altitude area. In other words, it is basically cool, but in summer there is a difference in temperature between day and night, and the sugar content of the fruit tends to rise.  In addition, Suzaka is one of the lightest rainfall areas in Japan, with annual rainfall of about 800 to 900 mm, and is the best area for growing fruits with a lot of sunshine, less disease, and condensed taste. The orchards under the jurisdiction of the Suko Fruit Center are said to be the Chikuma Riverbed, and the flat land and Chikuma Riverbed formed by the alluvial fans of the Matsukawa, Todogawa, and Ayukawa rivers. Each has the characteristics of highly permeable gravel, fertile soil, and well-drained sand, all of which seem to be advantageous soils for fruit production. “Shinshu Suzaka” has a long-standing enterprising temperament, and has prospered as a merchant town since the Edo period. In addition, I heard that he is at the knee of the Nagano Fruit Tree Experiment Station and is still working on making delicious fruits by incorporating advanced technology as soon as possible. It seems that the alluvial fan in Suzaka was once filled with mulberry fields for sericulture, and most of the flat land was paddy fields. However, with the history of sericulture price plunge, it was converted to apples and grapes, and paddy fields were converted to fruit trees due to national policy, which was the start of fruit development in Susaka. In the latter half of the Showa era, apples and grapes were the main production area, but as a result of technological innovation aimed at increasing income, it seems that it has grown into a production area for various fruit trees such as peach nectarines, pears, and prunes. The Nagano Fruit Tree Experiment Station in Suzaka also played a major role in the technological innovation that supports this growth. In addition, many producers have acquired environmentally friendly farmer (as recognized by law) qualifications in response to recent market needs, reduce pesticides and chemical fertilizers as much as possible, reduce the burden on the environment, and produce safer and more fruit in Japan. We are aiming to expand not only to the world but also to the world. (Reduction of pesticide use by using pheromones, reduction of fertilizer components in the environment, etc.) Among the major apple producing areas in Japan, Suzaka is known as an area where apples mature early. It is attractive to be able to deliver fresh apples to customers as soon as possible. Moreover, it is highly evaluated in Japan as a delicious apple with a high sugar content. Due to the effects of recent warming, it seems that there are some years and varieties that are difficult to color red, but it seems that they are making apples with the appearance and content as much as possible. Many of the fruit fields in Suzaka are converted from paddy fields, and the fertile soil is advantageous for making delicious pears. In addition, it is easy to irrigate, and it seems that optimal hydration for pear production is possible. Among pear-producing areas nationwide, the amount of precipitation is low and there are few diseases, so it is often the case that the use of fungicides is withheld. All four fruit sorting machines are equipped with optical sensors (internal quality sensors), and two of them are free tray type. The optical sensor analyzes the sugar content, ripeness, etc. of the fruit with light. In the Frito-Lay type, it seems that the quality can be measured individually by placing the selected fruits on a tray with a barcode. Soft fruits such as peaches have less impact, so damage during fruit selection can be reduced and quality can be improved. In 2021, the "Apple Task Force," which consists of seven volunteer apple farmers from the JA Suzaka Youth Club, is working on apple cultivation classes and making pictogram apples every year for third-year children attending the local Toyosu Elementary School in Suzaka City. On July 7, 26 children had a bagging experience at an apple orchard in the city. It seems that the group started this initiative about 10 years ago, saying, “I want you to get familiar with local agricultural products through the cultivation experience.” Pictograph apples are made by sticking a pictogram sticker on an apple and coloring it by exposing it to sunlight, and when the sticker is removed at the time of harvest, the shape of the pictogram remains. Wonderful! At the Takayama Branch of the Suko Apple Subcommittee, (Takayama Village Clean Fruit Council) has been working on pesticide-reducing cultivation using sex pheromone agents since 1991 under the slogan of “cleaner and safer apples”. Received the Excellence Award at the 1st Environmental Conservation Agricultural Promotion Contest. In addition, the “environmentally friendly farmer (as recognized by law) system” certified by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries was introduced by all members in 2005, and the “plan for the introduction of a highly sustainable agricultural production method” was implemented. As of 2010, all 235 members of the Takayama Branch of the Suko Agricultural Cooperative Apple Subcommittee have been certified. It is said that the reason for reducing the number of times pesticides are sprayed by using artificial pheromones is not only to make fruits that are kind to the natural environment, but also to pursue the original taste of apples. I hear that we will continue to make every effort to ensure that our customers can enjoy delicious “Shinshu Takayama refreshing apples” with peace of mind. Again, the Suko area is an alluvial fan with a large temperature difference between day and night and a light rain area. Therefore, it is a rare fruit producing area in Japan. JA Nagano's Suko block (formerly JASuko) has the same light rain and is likened to Hollywood in the United States, which has become the capital of movies. It is the brand name of fruits such as. “Shinano Sweet” has been cultivated at the Nagano Fruit Tree Experiment Station (Suzaka City) since 1978 by mating and selecting “Fuji Apple” × “Tsugaru Apple”. Complete the seedlings that mature in mid-October in the breeding ground (Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture), which is red and weighs about 350 g. In Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture, “Shinano Sweet”, which was cultivated over a period of about 15 years, was applied for registration in 1994 based on the Seedling Law, and was registered in 1996.

The color of an apple is not only red but also red-black, yellow and etc. There are many kinds of apples, such as “Shinano-Sweet”, “Shinano-Dolce”, “Shinano-Piccolo”, and yellow “Shinao-Gold”, which are native to Nagano prefecture in Japan. Nagano Prefecture, is a famous apple producing area that boasts the second largest shipment volume in Japan. Born in Nagano Prefecture (SHINSHU), “Akibae,” “Shinano Sweet,” and “Shinano Gold” are said to be the “Three Brothers of Shinshu Apples,” continuing. One who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him. Iōannēn Euangelion: Evangelium Secundum Iohannem): (Forerunner; John the Baptist): Novum Testamentum; Johannine literature. NARO announced on June 12, 2018 that it has developed a new variety of apples that can easily be colored deep red even when the temperature is high. The harvest season for apples is from August to November, but it is clear that poor coloring of the red varieties of Wase has become a major problem as global warming progresses. Even with Nakate varieties, the number of cases of harvesting in high temperature is increasing, so similar coloring defects are likely to occur, and countermeasures are required. The Nakate variety was developed and the name is “Kinshu; 錦秋.” According to the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, the fruits that ripened in deep red during the autumn harvest season were named after the colorful autumn leaves like brocade. Currently, the most produced apple of the Nakate variety in Japan is “Jonagold”, which was born in the United States and has a slightly strong acidity. Instead, the number of sweet-tasting “Shinano Sweets” is increasing. Therefore, NARO seems to have developed a sweet New Nakate variety that is easy to color deep red even under high temperature conditions and has a different harvest time from “Shinano Sweet”. I don't see it in the market, but I really hope for an early meeting.
