More than 700 vessels arrived in Nagasaki during the 227 years from 1621 to 1847. Due to seasonal winds, most ships enter Nagasaki in June and July of the lunar calendar. Aiming for the Mejima (Goto City) Islands and Nomozaki (Nagasaki City). Raw silk from Bengal and Tonkin (Northern China), and the main product exported to orchids was silver. In 1570, the Gan clan ruled the Guangnan region, where major ports such as Hoi So and Da Nang were located, as the guardians of the central ports and acclimatization.

Built in 1636, Dejima played a major role in Japan's modernization as Japan's only window to Western Europe for 218 years until the Dutch trading post was closed in 1859. In the 16th century, when guns and Christianity were introduced to Japan, feudal lords from around the country began requesting Portuguese ships to enter their ports for trade and religious purposes, and the Port of Nagasaki was opened. After that, Nagasaki rapidly developed as a base for Portuguese trade. However, Christianity gradually became a target of crackdown, and the Edo Shogunate finally issued an order banning Christianity. The persecution of Christians became more and more severe, and in 1636, the shogunate built Dejima and imprisoned the Portuguese in order to prevent the Portuguese from proselytizing Christianity and monitor trade. In 1543, guns were introduced through Tanegashima, and Christianity was introduced in 1549, and feudal lords from all over the country began requesting portage for Portuguese ships for trade and religious purposes. Portuguese trade during the Age of Exploration seems to have been based in Goa, India, and carried out trade in Southeast Asia such as Malacca, Macau, and Nagasaki, and then returned to Goa again after about three years. Items imported into Japan through Portuguese trade included raw silk, silk fabrics, rags, chintz, ivory, coral, and sugar, while Japan exported mainly silver, iron, folding screens, and swords. Particularly unusual gifts include tigers, peacocks, and other animals, such as the elephant that the Governor of Luzon gave to Hideyoshi Toyotomi. In 1550, a Portuguese ship entered Hirado. This was the first European trading ship to enter Nagasaki Prefecture, followed by five Portuguese ships in 1561. After that, Omura territory Yokoseura (present-day Saikai City) became a new trading port, and the Portuguese moved their trading base from Yokoseura to Fukuda (present-day Fukuda Honmachi, Nagasaki City). Fukuda, which opened in 1565, had the disadvantage of facing directly to the open sea, so the trade base was further moved to Kuchinotsu Port on the Shimabara Peninsula. However, as the Portuguese desired to trade within Omura territory, research began on the port of Nagasaki, which was listed as a candidate site, and in 1571, two ships entered the port: one Portuguese ship and one Chinese ship chartered by Portugal. Nagasaki Port opens. After that, Portuguese ships began to visit almost every year, and Nagasaki rapidly developed as a Portuguese trading port.

【Major features】
Built in 1636, Dejima played a major role in Japan’s modernization as the only window open to Western Europe for 218 years, until the Dutch Trading Post closed in 1859. Why? In the 16th century, when guns and Christianity were introduced to Japan, feudal lords from all over the country began to request Portuguese ships to enter the port for trade and religious purposes, and the port of Nagasaki was opened. After that, Nagasaki developed rapidly as a base for Portuguese trade. However, Christianity gradually became the target of crackdowns, and finally the Edo Shogunate issued a ban on Christianity. The persecution of Christians became more severe, and it seems that the purpose of the shogunate was to prevent the propagation of Christianity by the Portuguese and to monitor trade. The Japanese economy is still in a situation where there are concerns about the impact on the economic situation due to the infection trend of the new coronavirus, such as the application of “priority measures to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus” due to the nationwide spread of the new coronavirus mutations. I have. In the environment surrounding agriculture and JA, the labor shortage is becoming more serious due to the decrease in the number of agricultural workers, the aging of the population, and the lack of successors. (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership) Agreement will go into effect on January 1, 2022, and there are concerns that it will have a major impact on domestic agricultural and livestock products Change. In terms of agriculture, the spread of the new coronavirus, which has been raging to this day, has led to sluggish consumption and prices, and has also affected the sales of some agricultural and livestock products within the jurisdiction. In addition, the torrential rain in August, followed by natural disasters such as drought and tornadoes, and the outbreak of pests caused damage to agricultural facilities and affected agricultural products. It is an undeniable fact that it was the year. According to the Nagasaki Prefectural Agriculture and Forestry Technology Development Center, as of December 7, 2014, Nagasaki Prefecture is the fifth largest producer of unshu mandarin oranges in Japan. Apparently. Since 2000, the prefecture has also been working on developing original varieties that enable the production of high-quality fruit. “Sasebo Unshu Mikan” cultivated in this prefecture is highly evaluated in the market with the prefecture’s unified brand “Dejima no Hana” as the top brand, and an increase in shipment volume is desired. However, in addition to unstable fruit setting depending on the year, there are problems such as protrusions on the apex of the fruit, and unstable shipment volume due to a decrease in the product rate. Therefore, the fruit tree research department has developed a new variety, “Nagasaki Kaken Sasebo No. 1” (a variety registration application was filed on April 9, 2013, and is currently under review). The appearance of the “Nagasaki Kaken Sasebo No. 1 Mikan” is similar to that of the “Sasebo Unshu Mandarin Orange”, but the thickness of the branches, the size and length of the leaves, and the width of the petals exceed those of the Sasebo Unshu. The branch length and internode length (the distance between buds) are also rather long. The maturity period of outdoor cultivation is about 5 days earlier, and it seems that it will be almost completely colored in late November. The fruit is flat, with bright orange skin and orange flesh. Comparing the fruit quality with “Sasebo Unshu Mikan” at the same time, it has a high Brix and a low acid content, so it has a high sweetness ratio and good taste. In addition, the incidence of protrusions on the fruit apex is reduced, and the shipment volume is stable. It seems that sheet mulch cultivation is desirable in order to take advantage of the high sugar content of this variety. He also plans to establish fertilizer management for stable production in future research, and hopes to improve the income of mandarin orange farmers by strengthening the brand power. Nagasaki Dejima was the only window in Japan to introduce new cultures and civilizations from foreign countries during the isolation period, and has played an important role as a place of transmission to Japan. Derived from its history, it was named with the hope of a bright future, emphasizing the characteristics of a delicious and top-quality mandarin orange worthy of creating a new era. “Dejima no Hana Mikan” is a “super-selected mandarin orange” that meets high standards in terms of sugar content, sourness, and taste. Until now, the price has been more than four times higher than the national average price of Wenzhou mandarin oranges, which surprised market participants and producers. The fruit of the efforts of local producers. “Nagasaki Koi Mikan” started as a unified brand in the prefecture following Dejima no Hana. The name is derived from the catchphrase that love (with a strong taste) competes with the contents. As with Dejima no Hana, the producers of Nagasaki Koi Mikan apply to designated orchards themselves, carry out cultivation management aimed at unifying production materials and achieving quality targets, and ship from orchards that meet the standards. “Nagasaki Koi Mikan” is the second brand after “Dejima no Hana”, the highest grade brand, and it seems that it is an affordable brand that ensures a certain level of deliciousness. Dejima: The shogunate created an island to house the Portuguese, who were living in the city at the time, in order to prevent the spread of Christianity. This is Dejima. This is an artificial island that was completed in 1636 by the joint investment of 25 townspeople called “Dejima townspeople”, all of whom were built by wealthy merchants representing Nagasaki. Agriculture in Omura City produces a wide variety of agricultural products, forming one of the prefecture’s leading production areas, on a land rich in nature overlooking Taradake Prefectural Park in the east and Omura Bay in the west. Agricultural land can be roughly divided into flat land and hilly land. The flat land has fertile black soil and is used for field farming, such as Kuroda Gosun carrots and other open-field vegetables, and tomatoes and other greenhouse vegetables. As an agricultural promotion area, the hilly land is a livestock area in addition to flowers and fruit trees, and supports the basis of our lives. A straight farm road of about 860 m runs in the area where the fields spread around the lower stream of the Koori River that flows through Omura City. Currently, it is only about 2.5 m wide, but it seems to be a remnant of the “Fukushige Airfield(Along the right bank of the Koori River, there is a straight farm road with concrete pavement in the north-south direction. This is the site of Fukushige Airfield. Many of the Naval Air Corps became unusable due to the bombing of Omura in October 1944, and the airfield was built by rush work the following year.)” that was constructed at the end of the Pacific War. The war-experienced (victims) remembered that the Zero Fighter flew as the first aircraft on Navy Day, May 27, 1945. On October 25, 1944, he experienced a large air raid on Omura by a US bomber at the 21st Navy Air Factory, where students were mobilized. It seems that he used a bucket relay to extinguish the fire in the rain of the bomb. It seems that he was instructed to close his eyes at that time because his eyes popped out due to the blast. It seems that many of his classmates were killed in the Omura air raid. It seems that Fukushige Airfield was constructed by rushing work after being damaged by the air raid. However, the airfield seems to have been rarely used during the war. However, it seems that it was mainly used as a parking apron for fighters at night. It seems that small aircraft had taken off and landed for a while after the war, but eventually returned to farmland. It seems that the cement and the foundation of the guideway bridge, which are believed to have been used during construction, are still left around the fields where the runway was located. The air raids gradually intensified, and in July 1945, enemy planes attacked the turret that had been installed. In the area, it seems that private houses were burned down and elementary school students were shot dead by machine guns. On August 9, 1945, the Nagasaki atomic bomb caused an unprecedented tragedy. After the war, he was engaged in strawberry cultivation and sold it to Americans stationed in Sasebo City. Only humans who have experienced tragedy will know, but war kills each other. Few people knew about that time, but Imatomi Town, where he lives now, seems to have been a battlefield. A weapon that destroys the earth if the nucleus is not good. It is important for human beings to discuss and understand each other. A nearby country is engaged in colonial rule, but we Japanese are regrettable and sad. “Yumenoka Strawberry”, From the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries variety registration website, Application number 18095 Date of application 2005/03/02 Date of publication of application 2005/11/07 Registration number 15261.

On the 17th, it is known that the opening date of the West Kyushu Shinkansen (from Takeo Hot Spring to Nagasaki, about 66 km), which JR Kyushu plans to open in the fall of 2022, is being adjusted around the end of September. According to the people concerned, the 23rd, which is the first day of the three consecutive holidays at the end of September, is considered to be influential. It is expected to be officially announced soon. Of the Kyushu Shinkansen Nagasaki route (from Hakata to Nagasaki, 143 km), from Takeo Onsen on the West Kyushu Shinkansen to Nagasaki is maintained to full standards. It seems that the new model N700S was introduced and named “Kamome”, which is familiar to the limited express trains on conventional lines. The maintenance method for Shin-Tosu-Takeo Onsen (about 51 km) is undecided. After the partial opening, it seems that it will be operated by the “relay method” for the time being, using the limited express on the conventional line and changing to the platform of Takeo Hot Spring. The fastest time required for Hakata-Nagasaki is 1 hour and 20 minutes, which seems to be about 30 minutes shorter than the current limited express. It seems that JR Kyushu will open to the public on March 20th at the Omura Vehicle Base (Omura City), which is responsible for the maintenance and inspection of Shinkansen trains. Isahaya (about 60 km) runs from Hizen-Yamaguchi, which is a parallel conventional line, by separating the top and bottom. The railroad tracks and station buildings are owned by a general incorporated association consisting of Nagasaki and Saga prefectures, and it seems that JR Kyushu operates. The Nagasaki route was approved from Takeo Hot Spring in March 2008 to start construction in Isahaya-Nagasaki in June 2012. Initially, it seems that complications have been passed, such as the planned introduction of FGT: Free Gauge Train and Gauge Changeable Train was abandoned. A special committee for measures against the Shinkansen problem of the Saga Prefectural Assembly held on November 2, 2020. Yoji Komiya, Managing Director of JR Kyushu Railway Company, was invited as a reference, and the exchange between the prefectural assembly and the managing director took place over several hours. The center of the agenda is, of course, the Nagasaki route of the Kyushu Shinkansen that passes through Saga Prefecture, but Representative Toshio Harada (Liberal Democratic Party, Vice-Chairman of the Saga Prefectural Assembly) touches on the railcars developed in “China” in the latter half of the question. According to net news specializing in railways, the free gauge train (FGT) has been completed in China. On October 21, 2020, CRRC Changchun (Chinese medium-sized car), a Chinese state-owned railroad vehicle manufacturer, announced a prototype high-speed train (so-called free gauge type vehicle) that can freely change the wheel width. This prototype car with a growth of 212m is based on the high-speed train CHR-400-BF type that the company has delivered to China National Railways, and is equipped with a bogie incorporating a variable gauge device. At the “One Belt, One Road” conference held in May 2017, China announced that it would develop a vehicle with a maximum speed of 400 km / h equipped with a variable gauge device capable of direct operation to Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and Russia. The government of the country is said to have supported the research and development with a cost of 34.7 billion yuan (about 549.6 billion yen). China has completed it as China and Japan are taking a growth strategy to market high-speed rail all over the world. On February 3, 2022, it seems that an online study session was held at the Nagasaki Prefectural Government to let many people know the charm of ingredients produced in Nagasaki Prefecture. Ingredients from Nagasaki Prefecture such as freshly picked vegetables, citrus fruits “Yuko Oranges(Only about 100 native trees have been confirmed in the limited areas of the Doinokubi and Sotome districts of Nagasaki City, which was once the Saga Domain. It seems that Nagasaki City’s traditional perfume citrus is being produced locally. Since it grew naturally in many areas closely related to Christians, there seems to be a theory that makes it historically interesting that it may have been conveyed by Christians. It looks like yuzu and kabosu, the flesh is soft and has a sweet and mellow acidity, and the aroma seems to be similar to pomelo and yuzu. In each district, it has been cultivated around the house for a long time, and it seems that it is widely used as a fruit rooted in the area such as beverages, seasoned vinegar, marmalade, lotion. In October 2008, it was certified as a World Heritage Site of Food “Ark of Taste” by the International Headquarters of the Slow Food Association (Italy), which is engaged in activities to protect traditional food culture.)”, and land-cultivated ques are lined up. The study session was held with the aim of branding ingredients produced in Nagasaki Prefecture, and on the 3rd, producers and cooks from inside and outside Nagasaki Prefecture were connected online to discuss the characteristics of ingredients and cooking methods and exchange opinions on dietary education rice field. According to the producer of Nagasaki Tsushima homebred chicken, while maintaining the thick skin and subcutaneous fat peculiar to nationally protected chicken breed, it maintains the hardness that can be eaten by both children and the elderly. The chefs who participated are introducing to the producers the dishes that they had planned in advance using ingredients from Nagasaki prefecture. It seems that Nagasaki Prefecture will post a menu of dishes using ingredients produced in Nagasaki Prefecture on the Nagasaki Prefecture homepage by March. In the Nagasaki prefectural governor’s election announced on February 3, 2021, it seems that early voting for voters who cannot go to the polling place on the voting day has started. Early voting is a system that allows voters who cannot go to the polling place due to work or travel on the day of polling to vote in advance. In the prefectural governor’s election, which was announced on the 3rd and voted on February 20, 173 polling stations in the prefecture were set up, of which 61 polling stations started voting on the 4th. At the polling place on the 6th floor of the transportation industry building in Daikoku Town(Daikokumachi T’ang person ship: The deepest pier at Nagasaki Port is Daikoku Town, which seems to have been crowded with Chinese ships entering and leaving the port. So, after the fact that this place was a cove connecting Chinese ships, when Nagasaki Station was completed at the present location in 1905, five years later, in 1910, the Tang person ship was first dedicated.), Nagasaki City, a disinfectant solution was installed at the entrance, and voters who visited were taking measures such as having the voting ticket taken directly from the delivery machine instead of handing it over. It seems that he was voting. Early voting can be voted if you can confirm with the person by address, date of birth, etc. without an admission ticket. According to the Prefectural Election Commission, 154,665 people, or 37.38% of all voters, voted early in the last 2018 governor’s election. “Sungreen Omura Co., Ltd.”, Company Business: Strawberry cultivation, processing and sales, incorporated in 2004. Has a track record of 18 years.

Compared to the control cultivar “Toyonoka Strawberry”, the application cultivar “Oi(Tasty)C Berry” has a pop-out drop in the fruit, the color of the flesh is red, the color of the fruit heart is red, etc. The distinction is recognized in. Compared to the control variety “Sachinoka Strawberry”, it is said that the distinction is recognized by the fact that the fruit is depressed and the color of the fruit heart is red. The fruit contains about 1.3 times as much vitamin C as “Sachinoka Strawberry”, which is the most abundant in the market, and about 1.6 times as much as “Toyonoka Strawberry”, and seems to have even higher antioxidant activity. In addition, the fruit is larger than “Toyonoka Strawberry”, it is deep red and glossy, has a high sugar content, has a good taste, and has excellent shelf life. The early and late nature is similar to that of “Toyonoka Strawberry”, and it seems to be suitable for forcing cultivation. In normal forcing cultivation, the yield within the year and the early yield by the end of February are lower than those of “Toyonoka Strawberry”, but the yield by the end of April is higher than that of “Toyonoka Strawberry”, and the product fruit rate is high. It has moderate resistance to Powdery mildew, but does not appear to be resistant to Fusarium oxysporum f. Sp. Fragariae and Glomerella cingulata (Stoneman) Spaulding.et Schrenk: Colletotrichum acutatum Simmonds ex Simmonds. “Tasty C Berry” is a variety for forcing cultivation that has high antioxidant activity, containing 1.3 times as much vitamin C as “Sachinoka Strawberry”, which is the most abundant in the market, and about 1.6 times as much as “Toyonoka Strawberry”. The fruits are larger than “Toyonoka Strawberry”, dark red and shiny, have a high sugar content, have a good taste, and have excellent shelf life. The early and late nature is similar to that of “Toyonoka Strawberry”, and it seems that the yield is better than that of “Toyonoka Strawberry” in normal forcing cultivation. In addition, the vitamin C content is stable and high throughout the harvest season, and it seems that about 7 fruits of average size can take one day’s worth of vitamin C. In addition, it has about 40% higher antioxidant activity than “Toyonoka Strawberry”, and seems to be a variety with high health functionality. The fruits are conical to oval, the skin color is red to dark red, and the flesh color is bright red and glossy. It is as hard as “Sachinoka Strawberry” and has excellent shelf life. It has a high sugar content and an excellent taste. The grass is slightly upright and has strong grass vigor, making it easy to manage the grass vigor in winter. In addition, because the fruit bunch has excellent extensibility, it seems that labor for improving coloring can be saved. From the producers, the grass vigor in the midwinter is strong and the fruit cluster elongation is excellent, so gibberellin treatment is not necessary, and the product fruit yield and large ball ratio are higher than those of “Sachinoka Strawberry”. It is highly evaluated for its high shelf life and small variation in taste throughout the harvest period. Depending on the weather and production volume, the market price seems to be the same as or slightly higher than that of “Sachinoka Strawberry”. “Isahaya City, Nagasaki Prefecture” : It is located almost in the center of the prefecture. It faces three seas with different characteristics: the tidal flat Ariake Sea in the east, the inland sea Omura Bay in the west, and the open sea Tachibana Bay in the south. The Honmyo River is the only first-class river in the prefecture that flows through the beautifully towering mountains of the Tatara Mountains and the central part of the city. Downstream of it is a vast reclaimed land, blessed with a rich and diverse natural environment. The Isahaya Plain, formed by reclamation for more than 400 years, is the largest breadbasket in the prefecture. The fertile hills are a specialty of vegetables, strawberries and mandarin oranges. It has an industrial park, which is one of the prefecture’s leading industrial clusters, and has the second largest shipment value of manufactured goods in the prefecture. One city and five towns merged on March 1, 2005. We are promoting town development aiming at the realization of “Isahaya, a creative city where humans shine”.

Monopolize trade. The current poor Japanese economy and Japanese customs that can flatter buyers from other countries still threaten the economy. However, even though everything is different from that era, I can’t help lamenting and regretting the current situation where the bitterness of our predecessors seems to have changed due to the feeble system.

This fishing port is located at the mouth of the Kuriyama River, a second-class river that flows through Yokoshibahikari Town, Sanbu County, in the center of Kujukuri Beach. The nearby coastal area is the only beach in town, and is very busy during the summer season. There is a protected forest behind the coast, and there are marine recreation facilities such as a pool in the surrounding area, which seems to be a tourist base in summer. A farmer’s organization created by the Land Improvement Law enacted in 1949. Maintenance and management of various land improvement facilities such as farm ponds and waterways. However, in recent years, the number of farmers has decreased and the population has aged, making it difficult to manage them. Also, housing complexes have been built in farming villages, and many different people have come to live there. Those who are not farmers may not be familiar with this organization, but nearby rice fields, waterways, and reservoirs are facilities managed by land improvement districts. Agricultural facilities also have the effect of protecting the natural environment and beautiful rural scenery. In addition, it can be said that the land improvement districts that manage these areas play an important role in your area. Waniguchi Iriyamazaki Walk: “Temple gong” (a tool hung in front of Buddhist temples and temples and played with ropes) dedicated to the Myohozan Konreji Temple of the Nichiren sect after more than 70 years. Hollow. There is a horizontally long mouth at the bottom. It is a type of Buddhist altar fittings made by casting iron into a flat circle. A square in the center, a hook on the left and right sides of the top, and a mouth that opens in a straight line at the bottom. This wide mouth is wide open. (Origin of the name) Iriyamazaki Ward (Yoshida District) was divided into Furusaki Village. There is a Toso Wide Area Farm Road nearby, which connects Yoshida, Sosa City, Chiba Prefecture and Kiyotaki, Asahi City, Chiba Prefecture, and is about 19 km long. There was a car accident at the end of last month, so please drive safely. The history of green onion cultivation in the jurisdiction is long, beginning in the 1955s in the Hikarimachi district (now Yokoshibahikari Town). Currently, the cultivation area has expanded to Sosa City and Asahi City, and the long green onions produced in the jurisdiction are branded as high-quality “Hikari Green Onion”. Cultivation is in autumn / winter, spring, May(satsuki), and summer, and 700,000 cases are shipped annually. In 1996, a central collection and shipping facility equipped with a pre-cooling storage facility started operation, which seems to have made it possible to further improve quality and ship products in accordance with customer requests. In recent years, we are facing various issues such as an increase in cheap imported long onions, the occurrence of difficult-to-control pests, and the aging of producers. People are working together to maintain and improve the brand production area. Each producer produces, adjusts and selects based on cultivation standards and shipping standards, and brings them to the shipping site. At the shipping site, a full-time inspector (a system of five people) conducts an on-board sampling inspection of the shipped products, and it seems that only the shipped products that pass the inspection can be unloaded onto a special pallet. After being transferred to the pallet, the green onions are cooled in the same facility’s “vacuum precooling device” and then stored in the refrigerator right next door. Since the shipping area is centralized, it is possible to check with the unified eyes of the full-time inspectors and correct individual disparities. The Sosa Horticulture Club still has eight inspectors in charge of inspections, who keep track of the daily inspection status, exchange information with the full-time inspectors, provide inspection guidance, and conduct witness inspections themselves throughout the season. Eight officers in charge of guidance conduct comparison tests and review meetings every year to select varieties suitable for this area. In the pesticide residue inspection for each cropping type, all producers are encouraged to put pink flags on the fields during harvesting, and measures are taken to avoid pesticide drift. Mandatory record keeping. It seems that those who do not submit the record of cultivation history cannot ship. In March 2022, the Kanto Regional Development Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism announced the outline of the budget for 2022. In this, it seems that the new commercialization of “National Highway No. 126 Sanmu Toso Road Third Phase” will be included. National Highway No. 126 “Sanmu Toso Road” constitutes the Choshi Renraku Road, which is a regional high standard road, and connects Sanmu City and Asahi City in Chiba Prefecture. The first section is 6.1 km from Matsuo Yokoshiba IC (Sanmu City) on the Ken-O Expressway to Yokoshiba Hikari IC (Yokoshibahikari Town). It is open as a road. The second section is a 5 km extension from Yokoshiba Hikari IC to Yokaichiba IC (tentative name: Sosa City), and construction is underway for opening in 2023. And this time, the new business will start in the third phase section, which will connect a 13 km extension from the Yokaichiba IC (tentative name) to the vicinity of the roadside station “Kirari Asahi” (Asahi City). The budget for 2022 is 50 million yen, and the survey design is scheduled to be implemented. By improving the second and third stages of the Sanbu Toso Road, it will be possible to improve the efficiency of logistics such as “agricultural and marine products”, improve accessibility to emergency medical facilities, and reduce congestion on National Road 126 (current road). It seems to be expected. Regarding the development of the Choshi connecting road further east of the third section, the utilization of National Highway No. 126 “Iioka Bypass” (extension of about 6 km, Asahi City), which was opened in 1993, and straddling Asahi City and Choshi City. It seems that the section is planned to be widened. The 13 km section from “Sosa City” to Asahi City will be newly commercialized, and a plan to further extend the Choshi Renraku Road will start. Image character “Apii-chan” of the special product “Red Bell Pepper” in Sosa City, Chiba Prefecture is the only production area of “Red Bell Pepper” in the prefecture, and its deliciousness and quality are highly evaluated in the market. The design was considered by a local high school student, and the nickname was decided by open call for participants. She is a girl born in 2006 to promote red bell peppers, which is the only production area in the prefecture. She’s always smiling, but she sometimes mistakes her red head for an apple and makes her sick. Ripe green peppers are sweeter than green peppers and rich in vitamins A and E. Vitamin A protects the eyes and skin about 7 times. Vitamin C tends to be about 1.8 times less likely to catch a cold, and Vitamin E is about 5.6 times more bloody. Carotenoids prevent aging about 15 times. If you grow green peppers slowly and slowly without harvesting them, they will transform from green to blackish red and then “bright red”. It takes 25 to 30 days for ordinary green peppers to be harvested after the flowers bloom, while red peppers are more than twice as long. It takes more than a month to spend more time than ordinary bell peppers. Also, it’s very cold and it doesn’t grow if the temperature is below 17 ℃. Approximately 92 tons are produced annually in 1.2 hectares of the Nosaka area, and it is said that “rice flour apii bread”, which is eaten with croquettes sandwiched between rice flour bread kneaded with red peppers for school lunch, is a popular menu. Nosaka is a town on the sea in the eastern part of Chiba prefecture. Adjacent to Yokaichiba City, Hikari Town, Sosa District. A long time ago, it sometimes appeared on TV as a karaoke town. Noda Village and Sakae Village are merged to form Nosaka Town. Neighbors seem to say “nozakae”. A fishing and agricultural town about 100 km from Tokyo. Fielders, Imaizumi, Uchiurazuka, Kawabe, Horikawa, Kayada. Each has a beach. There are Oka village and Hama village, which form a typical barn village. Due to regression, people began to live in the barn of the fishing gear storage and became a village. Both the Oka and Hama villages are almost parallel to the coastline, and it seems that the Oka village was established along the lagoon formed by regression. Perhaps because of this, the road connecting the Oka villages draws an arc, just like the current coastline. There was a village called “mena” in the middle of the Oka and Hama villages. In other regions, it is sometimes written as Mena, but there seems to be a theory that they are all in similar places and mean wetlands. Node Village: Mr. Kanmu Taira Mr. Chiba, Mr. Node, a clan of Mr. Shiina who was separated from Mr. Chiba, lived in the fielder Mijo. In March of the 4th year of Astronomy (1535), a “fielder battle” took place, and the castle fell after being attacked by Mr. Oshida, the owner of the Yokaichi Market. Originally, the fielder was called Noda, Nuda but he became a fielder, and when Noda Village and Imaizumi Village merged, Noda revived and became Noda Village. It is the largest bell pepper producing area in Chiba prefecture and is shipped throughout the year. More ripe and nutritious red peppers are produced only in Sosa City in the prefecture.Yokoshibahikari Town is located in the northeastern part of Chiba Prefecture, and was born in 2006 through the merger of Hikari Town in Sosa County and Yokoshiba Town in Sanbu County, and is the most populous town in Chiba Prefecture. The Kuriyama River, which flows through the center, is a mecca for fishing. The city releases juvenile salmon every year, and many salmon return to the river. Mother-river homing” Although the mechanism has not yet been determined, the olfactory imprinting theory is the theory that the mother-river homing returns to the mother river based on the memory of the odor peculiar to the mother river. Based on experiments and observations such as salmon being unable to return to their mother rivers, it seems to be supported by many researchers. “Oamishirasato City” : The city is located almost in the center of the Kujukuri Plain. It has a climate with abundant nature, with lush hills in the west, vast countryside in the center, and the coast of “Hakusasaisho(White sand, Pinus thunbergii Parl: One of the top 100 beautiful stretches of sandy beaches dotted with pine trees.)” in the east. It has an area of 58.08 km2 and is 9.8 m above sea level. In 1979, Concluded a sister town with the mountain town “Nakanojo Town”. Agatsuma District, Gunma Prefecture is a town of Scenic Beauty by beautiful mountains and abundant hot springs. In a natural environment different from Oamishirasato City, which faces the Pacific Ocean and has the sea. On October 10, 2006, the “Agreement on Mutual Support in the time of disaster” was also signed. Let’s continue to investigate history. Plateaus and hills that connect to the Toke district of Chiba City spread to the west, and sand dunes that have been deposited since the early Jomon period spread to the east. Research has been carried out since the 1945’s, and among them, Kutsukake shell mound, Kamikaizuka, and Minamiiizuka ruins have been known for a long time. The Shimosa Plateau, which has an altitude of 80 to 90 m, extends over the western plateau. Prior to the construction of residential areas and golf courses, the oamiyamadadai archaeological site, sunada archaeological site, mizuhooketsu archaeological site, Kanayago archaeological site, etc. Many People are said to have started living in the Paleolithic era, 20,000 to 30,000 years ago. It is said that the earth at that time was a cold period called the ice age, the sea level was more than 100 m lower than the present, and the continent and the Japanese archipelago were connected by land.Tomita Village: Fujufuse (Not Receive and Not Give) School of the Nichiren Sect is a sect whose founder was Nichiren and the school founder was Nichio. As a special product, the strawberry “shinku-no-misuzu” born in Oamishirasato is known. Developed by a strawberry breeder living in the city, it was registered as a variety in 2015. Even the flesh is dyed deep red and has a high sugar acid ratio. The catch phrase is “All, love.” The color, aroma, taste, and sweetness are all rich. Wordplay that puts that “dark” into “love”. “Togane City”, With a population of about 60,000 and a warm climate. It is located in the central part of the prefecture, about 50 km from central Tokyo. In the plains, good countryside extends toward the Pacific Ocean, and the hills are covered with Sanbu cedar forest(Chiba Prefecture A variety of cutting sugi that has been cultivated in the Sanbu area in the northeast for over 250 years(A variety selected from particularly excellent ones and cultivated by cuttings. Cryptomeria japonica. In the Edo period, the “Onari Kaido” was built for falconry of Ieyasu Tokugawa. A post town and a wholesale district where neighboring agricultural products gather are formed. Since then, it has become a popular distribution center for logistics and has developed as a core city in the Kujukuri area. The area is 89.12 km2 and the altitude is 8.1 m. The excavation survey of the “Maruyama site” was around 1957. This is because the landowner Eiichi Ichihara at that time discovered a large amount of earthenware and burnt soil while cultivating the fields. The excavation survey was conducted in early January 1960 under the guidance of Mr. Akira Kawato, who was a teacher at Togane High School at that time. The remains are confirmed on the upper surface of the Kanto loam layer, which is dug down about 20 cm to 30 cm from the ground surface (field at that time). Many relics were excavated in the process of removing the soil accumulated on the remains, and it was found that the remains were four dwellings. After that, along with the large-scale development in the 1950s, the area around this site was excavated as the Toganedai site group. 155 pit dwellings were detected at the Ebigaya site, 142 at the Toganekuroda site, 265 at the Shikidai site, and 109 at the Koyuidai site. In the re-survey of the Maruyama site conducted at this time, about 105 pit dwellings were confirmed. It was a valuable survey to learn about the lives of people from the Kofun period to the Nara and Heian periods. Besides, Hachigaya site, etc. “Kujukuri Town, Sambu District”, A monument of “the birthplace of Sweet Potato cultivation in the Kanto region” is erected here. The eighth shogun, Yoshimune Tokugawa, ordered Konyo Aoki to grow sweet potatoes and made a prototype at the current Kujukuri Town Fudodo. As a result, sweet potato cultivation has become widespread in the Kanto region and remote islands since the Kyoho famine. As a result, it is commented that, since the Great Famine of Kyoho, the cultivation of sweet potato spread in Kanto region and solitary islands, and thus a lot of people’s lives were saved in the Tenmei Famine :(The 8th general of the Edo bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun) Yoshimune TOKUGAWA had already ordered Konyo to cultivate the known sweet potato as an emergency crop at the famine in West Japan, and make trial pieces in the Koishikawa Medicine Garden (Koishikawa Botanical Gardens), Makuwari Village in Chiba District of Shimousa Province (present Makuhari, Hanamigawa Ward, Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture), and Fudodo Village in Yamabe County of Kazusa Province (present Kujukuri Town, Sanbu District, Chiba Prefecture). Kujukurihama was chosen as the marathon site because Ino Tadataka, a geographical surveyor in the Edo period, was born in Kujukuri Town. Kujukuri beach: Located almost in the center, “katakai” has prospered with sardine fishing since the Edo period, and is a town where “sardine culture” lives. “Sanmu City”, Located in the eastern part of Chiba prefecture. It faces the Pacific Ocean for about 8 km in the center of Kujukuri beach, one of Japan’s leading sand coasts, and has a total area of 146.77 km2. It is roughly divided into the Kujukuri coastal area, the vast alluvial plain as a hinterland, and the hilly area consisting of low plateaus at an altitude of 40 to 50 m. These are strips that are almost parallel to the coastline, and for some reason they are nostalgic scenery. The city is active not only in rice cultivation but also in vegetable and fruit production. In areas rich in nature, with forest products such as Sambu Cedar, seafood from Kujukuri Beach. As a tourist resort, you can enjoy sports such as swimming, surfing, and tennis, and it has local resources that are attractive to young people. Due to the good location, the concentration of industrial facilities is increasing, and because of the good nature environment, many people visit and move to this area. The area was recognized as a blank area in the early Kofun period, but the Shimato Sakai No. 1 burial mound (4 mirrors) was discovered in the latter half of the early Kofun period (late 4th century). The case is Kitano No. 5 Mound, the second case designated on September 13, 2011. In the category of bronze ware, there were bronze swords, bronze pikes, bronze dagger-axes, bronze bells, bronze mirrors, and so on. Although it was made in various periods, as a historical and archaeological term, it often refers to the bronze mirror excavated from the remains in China, Korea and Japan. In 2006, Sambu District Naruto Town, Sambu Town, Matsuo Town, and Hasunuma Village merged. Naruto and Togane carnivorous plant communities are nationally designated natural monuments. The birthplace of the poet Ito sachio, known for his novel “The Tomb of Wild Chrysanthemum,” is a historic site designated by the prefecture. “Shibayama Town”, Located almost in the center of the Hokuso plateau in the northeastern part of the prefecture. At the northernmost point of Sambu District, in the 60 km area of the capital. Adjacent to Tako Town in the east, Yokoshibahikari Town and Sammu City in the south, Tomisato City in the southwest, Narita City in the north, and Narita Airport. 8.4 km east-west, 10.5 km north-south, 43.24 km2 in area, generally flat. The Takaya River flows to the east and the Kido River flows to the west, and this basin becomes a rice-growing area, and upland fields are flourishing in the hills in the northwest. Many wild Cerasus jamasakura (Sieb. ex Koidz.) H.Ohba (1992) bloom in the hills of the town, and are most familiar to the townspeople. With its ancient history, culture, and beautiful nature, it is eager to become the courtyard of the international airport city. Various house-shaped haniwa of the mid Kofun period (tumulus period) were excavated from Tonobeta number 1 mound in Shibayama Town, Sanbu County, Chiba Prefecture and Nagase Takahama site in Umanoyama burial mounds located in Hawai Town, Tohaku County, Tottori Prefecture. Kannokyoji-Temple: The three-storied pagoda in the precincts is designated as a tangible cultural property of Chiba Prefecture. Koike Otsuka Tomb, Takada No. 2 Mound,Yamada / Houma tumulus group. Arai Festival (Radish Festival): It is a festival held on December 14th every year, and it is said that fire should not be used except at the house on duty. At the house on duty, Shishi-Mai(Lion dance)will hold a festival of disease-free breathing, fire theft, and a good harvest. At Omiya Shrine, a turret built in front of the shrine is set on fire. The practice of throwing radishes at the child and preventing the priest from entering the shrine from the front is a sight to see. “Yokoshibahikari Town” : Located in the northeastern part of the prefecture. Kujukuri Beach, with its white sands in the south, and gentle hills in the north. The average annual temperature is 15 degrees Celsius, with cool summers and warm winters, with a pleasant climate. On March 27, 2006, sambu district yokoshiba town and Sousa District hikari town merged. The scenery of Kujukuri Beach, where the Pacific Ocean spreads magnificently, and the Kuriyama River, which flows through the central part of Yokoshibahikari Town, shines. It is a long and narrow terrain from north to south, and as it progresses from the flat coast to the plateau, it becomes slightly inland and the temperature difference. In general, it is blessed with natural conditions suitable for agriculture, which is cool in summer and warm in winter. Complex management that combines open-field vegetables and facility horticulture is flourishing centering on paddy agriculture. Paddy rice is the main crop, and sweet corn and leek are well known as open-field vegetables, such as tomatoes, squashes, and broccoli. There are also strawberry growers, and many are harvested from December to May and are popular. Working on high-profit crops, cherry tomato, melon in the green house. Hydroponic mitsuba(Cryptotaenia canadensis (L.) DC.subsp. japonica (Hassk.) Hand.-Mazz. (1933) cultivation, and in recent years, flower cultivation such as Cyclamen persicum has been carried out to improve management efficiency. Both pig farming and dairy farming are actively carried out. Speaking of representative agricultural products, welsh onions(Allium fistulosum L. var. bouddhae Prokh.). From around 1968, the cultivation of autumn and winter welsh onions became popular as a back crop of wheat, and in 1972, it was designated as a national production area. Plateau fields in the Houme Area and Kotabe Area were develoed from the 40’s to the 1950’s. After that, the cultivation method was improved and the brand continued to shine. Let’s explain the product. The top of the representative crops is green onion. From around 1968, autumn and winter green onion cultivation became popular as a back crop of wheat. In 1972, it was designated as a national production area. The fields will be improved from about 40 to 50 years, which will support the cultivation of green onions. Currently, both spring onions and autumn / winter green onions : The “Hikari green onion” brand has received high praise in the market. In addition, he won the 26th Japan Agricultural Award before 2000. Farmers and groups who have been enthusiastic about managing agriculture and have made outstanding achievements. The Central Union of Agricultural Co-operatives, Japan Agricultural Cooperatives prefectural FSBA and NHK Organization. “See(Child)green onion”, Raised under the sun and seawater spraying of kujukuri, it is thick and sweet enough. 30 strict unified rules – “Kujukuri Sea Child Long Onion” : Uses organic fertilizer specified by JA – Reduced pesticide cultivation : Aim for the number of times Pesticides to be used to be less than half of the standard number of times used by the prefecture. Sambu agriculture promotion center (Formerly sambu agriculture promotion center) : After repeated examinations and tests, it was cultivated in 2006 with seawater and commercialized. National Hokuso Central Agricultural Irrigation Project completed. Inba Agricultural Office: This district is located on the Hokuso Plateau, which extends to the northern part of Chiba Prefecture, and is one of Chiba Prefecture’s leading agricultural areas. In particular, the cultivation of vegetables is one of the largest in the country and plays an important role as a food supply base for the metropolitan area. The purpose of this project is to improve agricultural irrigation facilities, convert the water source from groundwater to the Tonegawa River, and provide a stable supply of water for agricultural use, thereby stabilizing agricultural management. This project, which started in 1988, will be completed in 2020. As an overview of the Hokuso Central District and the business, stable supply of agricultural water, use of agricultural water for regional water (fire prevention water) Stream, Tomisato pumping station and water tank Tomisato pumping station and water storage tank Yachimata City, Tomisato City, Sanmu City Beneficiary area 3,267 ha (field 408 ha, field 2,859 ha)). Sosa City boasts a cultivation area of 510 hectares and a wide variety of cultivated tree species, which are shipped not only to Japan but also to China and Europe. Plant production began in the Meiji era, and it became a full-scale production area in the Taisho era. Podocarpus macrophyllus, which is resistant to pests and cold, has been attracting attention since this time, and is still a popular flagship product. It is an evergreen tall tree, and its young branches are soft and can withstand pruning. The Kuriyama River fishing port was built behind the sand dunes southwest of the mouth of the Kuriyama River, which flows into the Pacific Ocean from the center of Kujukuri Beach, and has been developed as a fishing base for local fishermen. “Marine Pia Kuriyamagawa” stands out on the sea side across the sand dunes of the fishing port.

In the jurisdiction, the cultivation method has been improved repeatedly, and the cultivation of summer leeks has been made possible, and the year-round shipment has been realized. Currently, spring and autumn / winter green onions have been designated as a production area by the country, and are highly evaluated in the market under the brand name of “Hikari Green Onion”. “Throat lozenge”, which is made by adding kumquat and ginger to the extract extracted luxuriously from this excellent agricultural product, is popular for being mild and soothing to the throat.

In order to improve quality, the Tachige (standing crop) Kyoshinkai (the state of crops before they are harvested) is a competition to compete for beauty and fatness. We hold annual awards such as the “Excellent Shipper Award,” which is given to producers who are good at sorting. I am working on making good green onions. In terms of distribution, it seems that they will check the arrival status at the shipping destination and the standards of other production areas, which will lead to further improvements.

Excellent products in the city are solicited and certified as “Sosa’s masterpiece” after examination by Sosa’s masterpiece selection committee. The purpose is to have many people in and outside the city know about the good products and good points of Sosa, which are “though you may know it, but you don’t know it”, and to revitalize the area. You can impress Sosa City. Has its own characteristics (history, culture, tradition, etc.). Uniqueness (differentiation from similar products, etc.). Good quality. The first selection was made in March 2016, and 13 items were certified. Good quality is highly evaluated in the market.

Iwato Shrine was built in 701 AD. This year marks the year 1322. Kobayashi’s only extant “Iwato shinto music” has inherited the dance for over 300 years (with temporary interruptions). Praying for a huge harvest (of the 5 grains) and giving thanks for the autumn harvest, the participants acted out the mythological gods who prayed for the arrival of the gods, decorated a corner of about 4 meters with leaves and bamboo, and stretched a shimenawa rope. The dance is performed in a gorgeous shrine garden made of sacred shinto tree. The chants and dances that have been handed down from generation to generation are the Kanme of “Ama-no-Iwato-biraki”, which is associated with the enshrined deity “Tajikarao-no-Mikoto”, and expresses it in a funny and ancient way.

Kobayashi City established the "Kobayashi City Children's Support Fund" in fiscal 2022 to promote the creation of an environment where children can marry with peace of mind, give birth to and raise children, and grow up in good health for the children who will be responsible for the future. This fund was started with donations from citizens and the general revenue of Kobayashi City. By widely disseminating information about the fund, we are also working to create momentum for supporting children and child-rearing throughout the local community, including citizens, organizations, businesses, and government. Anyone can donate, regardless of individuals, companies, or organizations, and we ask for your understanding and cooperation. This fund will be used for the following projects. Projects to combat child poverty, projects to counter the declining birthrate, and projects to support children and child-rearing.

【Product name】
Greenhouse Melon
【Type】
Cucumis melo L.
【Producing area】

Kobayashi City, Miyazaki Prefecture, Takahara Town, Nishimoro Prefecture District (JA Kobayashi, JA Miyazaki Prefectural Economic Federation)

【Origin of name】
It is also called musk melon because it smells like musk when it is ready to eat. Some people may associate the word mask with the English word mask from the weave pattern of the fruit, but it seems that the name actually comes from the English word musk (the Greek word moskhos). Musk means the scent of musk. It is said that the scent of muskmelon is as wonderful as this musk.
【Major features】

The auction for this season’s Melomero Melon, a brand of melon produced in Miyazaki Prefecture, began in Miyazaki City, and it was sold out due to people refraining from buying it due to the influence of the new coronavirus. This excellent agricultural product “Meromero melon” is a brand melon that has a sugar content of 14 degrees or more and meets certain standards such as appearance and weight among Earl’s melons produced in Kobayashi City and Takaharu Town, Nishimorokata County. Miyazaki City Central Wholesale Market (Previously, in Miyazaki City, there were 9 regional wholesale markets for fruits and vegetables, 2 regional fisheries wholesale markets, and 8 dried salt processing wholesalers scattered throughout the city, each forming a distribution area. The scale of the market was also small, and while it had problems such as resolving traffic congestion and strengthening market functions, it seems that it was pressed to improve measures such as aging facilities and hygiene management. I heard that in December 1976, the Fruits and Vegetables Department was merged into two companies, and the Seafood Department was split into two companies. It was decided to enter the market as a whole, and business began at the new market named “Miyazaki City Central Wholesale Market” on July 11, 1974. Also, on May 29, 1995, the flower section also entered.)In the morning of November 22, 2022, the first auction of the season was held in the morning of November 22, 2022, and 68 boxes were sold in about five minutes. In the meantime, everything has been auctioned off. According to JA Kobayashi, in 2023, due to the situation in Ukraine and the depreciation of the yen, the price of feed will soar. It is said that the price has dropped by 120,000 to 140,000 yen per cow from the previous year, and wagyu farmers are facing severe business conditions. The JA in Miyazaki Prefecture distributes a total of about 260 tons of compound feed free of charge to about 1,000 farmers in an effort to support Japanese beef farmers who are facing tough business conditions due to soaring raw material prices and falling calf prices. Under these circumstances, we decided to independently support Wagyu beef farmers, and from January 10 to 16, we distributed compound feed free of charge to about 1,000 japanese beef cow farmers according to the number of cattle raised. On average, 13 bags of mixed feed weighing 20 kg per household, totaling 260 tons. The JA also provided its own support to dairy farmers in December last year, and the total amount of support is said to be about 36 million yen. JA Kobayashi was established in 1974 through a wide-area merger of Kobayashi City, Takaharu Town, Nojiri Town, and Suki Village. Mainly livestock (beef cattle, dairy farming), earthenware (taro, burdock, etc.) and facility horticulture (melons, green peppers, etc.) are thriving. It is an agricultural cooperative that aims to realize a “community symbiotic society” together with its members. According to the Kobayashi City Agriculture Promotion Plan (March 2022), Japan’s agriculture faces a shrinking domestic market due to population decline, intensification of new international competition such as the TPP, frequent natural disasters and livestock epidemics associated with climate change. Faced with issues such as sexually transmitted diseases, there are concerns about the weakening of production bases and the decline of local communities. Furthermore, the situation is changing rapidly, such as the spread of new epidemics. Under these circumstances, the national government has set out concrete measures to realize the four basic principles of ensuring a stable supply of food, demonstrating multifunctionality, sustaining the development of agriculture, and revitalizing rural areas. Formulated the “Basic Plan for Food, Agriculture, and Rural Areas,” which is a program for the development of comprehensive measures. This basic plan is to be revised every five years in order to respond to various changes in the situation surrounding food, agriculture, and farming villages. In addition, the “Green Food System Strategy” was announced in order to achieve both productivity improvement and sustainability in the food, agriculture, forestry and fisheries industries through innovation. In Miyazaki Prefecture, while setting the perspective of “new disaster prevention” as the foundation of agriculture in the prefecture, aiming for agriculture that can withstand any crisis, we will improve productivity, improve the efficiency of logistics, The 8th Miyazaki Prefecture Agriculture and Rural Development Long-term Plan was formulated with the aim of creating a “smart” chain of measures related to production, distribution, and sales, such as responding to diverse sales formats. These efforts are called “Miyazaki-style family farming” centered on families, regardless of the size of the business or whether they are individuals or corporations. With this as the core, it seems that not only farmers but also all Miyazaki will promote it with all-out efforts. Based on these points of view, this Kobayashi City Agriculture Promotion Plan was formulated as a basic guideline based on the 2nd Kobayashi City Comprehensive Plan, and it is an agriculture promotion plan aiming for 2026, about four years later. The 2nd Kobayashi City Comprehensive Plan envisions the future city as “Jojoyonkatoko(Considerable, excessive, good place.)Kobayashi City, where everyone gathers and is full of smiles.” Among them, agriculture is positioned as a field of policy outline “Prosperity” (the theme is “a town where people and hearts are excited and crowded”), and it seems that they will work towards the direction of four items. Employment has increased, citizen’s income has increased, and life is affluent. A town that offers hospitality to those who visit Kobayashi for sightseeing and experiences. A town where “information dissemination, sharing and exchange” about Kobayashi is actively done, and the local information infrastructure is well maintained. Kobayashi is one of the towns where the central city area, shopping streets, tourist spots, etc. are bustling, creating an environment that makes it easy for people to gather. After the war, agriculture was mainly a combined farming of paddy rice, open-field vegetables, and breeding cattle for meat. In recent years, beef breeding cattle, dairy farming, pig farming, poultry farming, greenhouse vegetables, outdoor vegetables, fruit trees, flowers, and special uses. It seems that there has been a trend toward specialization and incorporation through single management of crops, etc., and the expansion of scale that accompanies this. Under these circumstances, the environment surrounding agriculture is concerned about an increase in abandoned farmland and a decline in activities in rural areas due to the aging of farmers and the decrease in farmers and successors due to the declining birthrate and aging population. On the other hand, consumer interest in food education, food safety and security, and the multifaceted functions of farming villages has increased is coming. However, due to the progress of a declining population and changes in dietary habits, demand for agricultural products is decreasing, imports of agricultural products are increasing, production costs are rising, and weather disasters and wildlife damage due to climate change are occurring. It seems that it is difficult to secure a stable income due to the increase in the population and the response to the post-pandemic. Therefore, it is necessary to strive to develop motivated leaders and secure successors, as well as to develop production infrastructure, create production areas, and create vibrant communities. Kobayashi City is located in the southwestern part of Miyazaki Prefecture. Nishimera Village, Kumamoto Prefecture in the north, Aya Town, Miyazaki City, and in the east. Ebino City borders Takaharu Town, Miyakonojo City, and Kagoshima Prefecture to the south. Topographically, it is a mountainous terrain with Kirishima, and the altitude increases as you go from the city center to the north and south, and especially in the south, there is an area with an altitude of 1,300 m with Mt. Karakunidake(It is the highest peak of Mt. Kirishima in southern Kyushu and straddles the border between Ebino City and Kobayashi City in Miyazaki Prefecture and Kirishima City in Kagoshima Prefecture.)as the highest peak. The Iwase River and Tsujinodo River of the Oyodo River system flow through the central part of the city, creating farmlands in the mountainous plains. In terms of climate, the average annual temperature is about 16°C, the annual average precipitation is 3,000 mm, and the sunshine hours are 2,000 hours. Concentrate on. Until the 1980s, the average temperature remained in the 15°C range, but since the 1990s, there have been many years where the temperature exceeded 16°C, and in 2016 he was 17°C. Regarding annual precipitation, in the 17 years from 1976 to 1992, he exceeded 3,000 mm only once in 1980. It seems that it exceeds 3,000 mm except. The farmland area is 5,965.1 ha (rice field 2,269.4 ha, field 3,101.8 ha, orchard 593.9 ha). In the future, there will be farmland with poor conditions such as small plots and undeveloped land, and the area of cultivated land under management will continue to decrease. Predict. It is necessary to make efforts to eliminate uncultivated land by utilizing various projects. In addition, there are concerns about an increase in abandoned farmland due to an aging population and an increase in the number of non-farmers who own land. It seems that the accumulation and consolidation of farmland in hands will be promoted to prevent and eliminate the occurrence of abandoned farmland. In addition, in order to secure and nurture new farmers, in order to make it easier for new entrants from different industries, including agricultural successors, to start farming, It is necessary to develop a training system for the purpose of acquiring skills and management methods. In 2018, the “Agri-Training Center (items: cucumbers, etc.)” established by the Kirishima Agricultural Promotion Organization provides integrated support from technical training (2 years) to farming with related organizations, and the number of trainees is increasing. In addition, it seems that they will try to secure new farmers such as I-turn farmers by participating in farming consultations and farming fairs held in urban areas and promoting Kobayashi City’s agriculture. Furthermore, for farmers who do not fall under national or prefectural system projects (agricultural next-generation human resource investment projects, etc.), the city. Support independently. At the same time, it seems that a wide range of farmers, including part-time farmers, elderly farmers, and female farmers, will be positioned and secured as the bearers of agriculture. Certified Farmer: In order to maintain and develop Kobayashi City agriculture, it is essential to secure and train bearers. There were 648 management bodies in FY2016, and 655 management bodies in FY2020, a slight increase over the last five years. In the future, in cooperation with related organizations, we will support activities such as management consultation and holding training sessions to achieve the goals of the farm management improvement plan, and will be certified by expanding the scale, improving technology, and cultivating a management body with excellent management sense. It seems that they are trying to secure farmers. In recent years, it seems that the role of women in agricultural management and rural areas has become more important than ever due to the promotion of various initiatives aimed at realizing a gender-equal society. In the future, we will promote joint applications and the conclusion of family management agreements so that farm management will be based on family discussions and gender equality. Kobayashi area: former Kobayashi city, Suki area: former Suki village, Nojiri area: former Nojiri town. In order to secure a labor force, in the agricultural production where the amount of work is not equalized throughout the year, while the labor shortage is progressing due to the decrease and aging of the agricultural working population, to promote farmland consolidation and enlargement. Must make good use of the limited labor force. By promoting smart agriculture to improve productivity and occupational safety, diversifying work styles and It is also assumed that it will be possible to secure human resources, and that diverse human resources from inside and outside the region will become a new labor force for the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industries. Since 2012, Kobayashi City has worked to formulate a “people and farmland plan” that clarifies the central management body in regional agriculture and the future of agriculture in the region based on community discussions. As of the end of March 2021, 43 plans have been formulated. In addition, 33 of these plans. It has been certified as a materialized people and farmland plan. Going forward, we will continue to promote the materialization of the people and farmland plan, and We are promoting the accumulation and consolidation of farmland at home, aiming for effective use of farmland. By leasing farmland and lending it to the bearers in bulk, the aim is to promote the accumulation and consolidation of farmland and improve efficiency. In order to promote highly productive agriculture in the city, the project will be promoted with the goal of consolidating 150 ha annually into the Miyazaki Prefectural Agricultural Promotion Public Corporation. In addition, by 2019, it seems that they have formed farmland accumulation associations in 33 districts of the city and have been working to promote the project using the organization’s accumulation cooperation money. However, except for 9 districts, the accumulation rate is less than 80%. We will continue to promote the business so that the accumulation rate will exceed 80%. Multifunctional payment system: Agriculture and rural areas have multiple functions such as land conservation, water source replenishment, natural environment conservation, and landscape formation, and the benefits are widely enjoyed by the people. In recent years, however, the aging and declining population of rural areas seems to be hindering the multifaceted functions that are supported by community activities. In addition, due to the difficulty of joint activities in the region, the burden on the maintenance and management of local resources such as waterways and farm roads is increasing, and the expansion of the scale of the bearers is hindered. For this reason, in order to demonstrate the multifaceted functions of agriculture and farming villages, basic conservation activities for local resources, such as clearing mud from waterways and maintaining the surface of farm roads by local organizations, and expansion and strengthening of systems that respond to structural changes in farming villages. In addition, we support joint activities to improve the quality of local resources, such as minor repairs to waterways and farm roads, and good conservation of rural environments such as landscape formation through planting, and activities to extend the life of facilities. Kobayashi City’s rice field gods are stone statues that have been placed in places overlooking rice fields in the hope of bumper crops since the middle of the Edo period. It is also said that there are many solemn gods of the rice fields that are similar to Shinto priests, and that they were built in awe of the frequent eruptions of Mt. In addition, there are many statues of deities of rice fields, each with a rich expression. The Satsuma clan ruled by the Shimazu clan in the Edo period. It seems that the culture that tells the story of that history remains strong even today. Not only dialects and local cuisine, but also things related to the Satsuma clan, such as the statue of the deity of the rice field, drum dance, and Heko dance(When Yoshihiro sent an army to Korea, the army made outstanding achievements, and in order to praise this great achievement for a long time, the young samurai were told to communicate with each other and pass on their bravery to future generations. According to one theory, the name heko came about because it would be better to add the word child because the soldiers were to be handed down to their descendants. In addition, about the feudal lord of Shimazu, who was on the kotai, the soldiers who had to go back and forth on the long journey between Kagoshima and Edo with great difficulty would motivate them on the way and make it a fun trip. There is also a theory that it danced, and it is dedicated at the Oishi Shrine Grand Festival on the third Sunday in September. The dance is performed by more than 10 people from around the age of 15 to 20 to 30 years old, including soldiers and senior citizens.), have been passed down. In 2018, the JA Kobayashi Melon Subcommittee announced the eruption of Mt. Shinmoedake (12 years ago, on January 26, 2011 (Wednesday), a large-scale eruption occurred at Mt. It was a dangerous eruption called a “quasi-plinian eruption,” which rarely occurs in Japan, and was the first large-scale eruption in about 300 years at Shinmoedake where magma directly hit the surface.) and natural disasters such as typhoons worried about shipment, but thanks to the favorable weather and thorough cultivation management, we were able to ship delicious melons. Also, many people eat it. Melomero melons have a sugar content of 14 degrees or higher and are shipped after inspection based on optical sensors and strict shipping standards. Also, the Miyazaki Greenhouse Light Sensor Melon is blessed with the shining sun and clean water, and is made with love. However, the production environment seems to have been severe due to rising fuel costs, etc., but efforts are being made to further raise awareness and expand consumption. Takaharu Town Depopulated Area Sustainable Development Plan (2021-2025) Takaharu Town, Nishimorokata District, Miyazaki Prefecture (reference). As an overview of natural, historical, social, and economic conditions, Takaharu Town is located in the southwestern part of Miyazaki Prefecture. It is connected to Kagoshima Prefecture bordered by Mt. It borders Kobayashi City across the Tsujinodo River and the Iwase River to the east. The area is 85.39 km2 and stretches 18 km from east to west, of which 4,202 ha (49.2%) is forest, 2,408 ha (28.2%) is agricultural land, 459 ha (5.4%) is residential land, and 1,470 ha (17.2%) is other land. The terrain is undulating, and the elevation of the plains is about 170 m to 230 m. The climate belongs to the temperate region, with an average annual temperature of 16.4°C and annual precipitation of 1,822 mm. The name of the town is said to be a transformation of “Takamagahara,” and it has a long history in the history of the founding of Japan. Merged to form Takaharu Township. After that, after the Abolition of the han system in 1871, the jurisdiction of Kagoshima Prefecture and Miyakonojo Prefecture was repeated. Then, Fumoto Village, Ushirokawauchi Village, Kamamuta Village, and Hirowara Village merged to form Takaharu Village. The town organization was enforced on October 5, 1934, and 2018 marks the 85th anniversary of the town organization. The town is located in the Takasaki River and Iwase River, which are tributaries of the Oyodo River, and consists of four sections of villages. There are many historic sites and shrines scattered around the town. It is blessed with many tourism resources. The main transportation network includes National Routes 221 and 223, as well as six prefectural roads. In addition, the interchange of the Kyushu Jukan Expressway Miyazaki Line is located in the center of the town, and it is possible to reach Miyazaki Airport and Kagoshima Airport within an hour. In addition, there is the JR Kitto Line, which celebrates its 110th anniversary, and connects Miyakonojo City (Miyakonojo Station) via Honmachi (Takaharu Station and Hirowara Station) to Yusui Town, Aira District, Kagoshima Prefecture (Yoshimatsu Station). It has been popular as a lifestyle route for many years. Amid the expected decline in water bill income due to the declining population due to the declining birthrate and aging population, a large amount of money will be required each year for the renewal of facilities and pipelines, etc., and the business environment will become tougher year by year. It seems that it is necessary to continue to provide a stable supply of safe and secure water to everyone in the world. Therefore, we drafted a medium to long-term management plan and formulated the “Takaharu Town Water Supply Business Management Strategy” with the aim of realizing a sound water supply business. Revised in March 2022, 3 years have passed since the last revision, so we are reviewing it. In May 2005, the Hanado Ward Community Farming Association was established in order to establish regional agriculture with a view to the future. After that, expectations for agricultural cooperatives were expected to shift from work consignment to farmland consignment. Established. The corporation is positioned as a practical organization that establishes the right to use farmland and promotes sixth industrialization, etc., and works on the production of agricultural products, commissioned farm work, and the operation of the direct sales store “Mori no Hokura” in cooperation with the farming association. It seems that The establishment of both organizations has expanded the opportunities for local residents to be active, which has revitalized the entire region. In particular, it seems to have led to an increase in the motivation of elderly producers to produce, interaction with urban residents, and the passing on of traditional events. These efforts have been highly evaluated, and in June 2014, we were selected as an excellent example of “Discover Treasures of Rural Villages” there is. In the future, by completing the development of the regional high-standard road “Miyakonojo Shibushi Road”, we will reduce the transportation cost of the distribution network and significantly shorten the transportation time in the event of a disaster or emergency transportation, further revitalizing the industry Expected to be effective in attracting companies. Since the Act on Emergency Measures for Depopulated Areas was enacted in 1970 as a countermeasure against depopulation, the Act on Special Measures for Promotion of Depopulated Areas and the Act on Special Measures for Revitalization of Depopulated Areas have been updated every 10 years to deal with depopulation. Currently, the Act on Special Measures for the Promotion of Independence of Depopulated Areas enacted in 2000 (Law No. 15: This law states that due to the dramatic decline in population, the vitality of local communities has declined, and the development of production functions and living environments, etc. has become difficult. By taking special measures necessary to implement comprehensive and planned measures for areas that are lower than other areas, promote the self-reliance of these areas, thereby improving the welfare of residents and employment. The purpose is to contribute to the increase in population, the correction of regional disparities, and the formation of a beautiful and dignified national land.) Based on this, the Takaharu Town Depopulated Area Self-Reliance Promotion Plan was revised twice, and the depopulated areas became self-reliant through simple medical checkups and measures to secure doctors. It seems that they have worked on depopulation measures and population measures while conducting special promotion projects (soft projects), improving the educational environment, and improving roads. However, as a result of the continuing population outflow centered on young people, the elderly population ratio seems to be above the prefectural average. Based on this situation, as measures for depopulated areas so far, in addition to improving the living environment such as community drainage facilities, firefighting facilities, public housing, and water supply facilities, measures have also been taken in various fields such as community assembly facilities, school facilities, and medical facilities. Has taught In addition, as a wide area administration, we are working on firefighting business, human waste disposal business, garbage disposal business, and wide area funeral center business. In this way, efforts have been made to implement disaster prevention measures, develop local industries, and promote wide-area tourism. However, there are still regional disparities in the living environment, the promotion of primary industries that make use of the advantage of being blessed with a natural environment, the promotion of tourism that revitalizes the region, and the base for industrial development in the western region of the prefecture. In addition to securing new employment opportunities, we will work together with residents and the government to further revitalize the region, such as attracting companies to the Miyazaki Freeway Industrial Park, which is expected to develop local industries such as economic promotion and revitalization. It seems that it is necessary to develop various measures in collaboration with. Mythological Site Takachihonomiya (MiyanoUto): It is said that the Imperial Palace once stood in an empty place beneath a golden ginkgo tree. The reason for this is that, according to the first emperor, Emperor Jinmu (Sano no Mikoto: Sano Shrine), it was built on the site of his birth during the reign of the fifth Emperor Kosho (475-393 B.C.E.). Sano no Mikoto, the childhood name of Emperor Jimmu, is said to be based on the place name of Sano. A subordinate shrine, Ojibaru Shrine, is enshrined 1,200 meters west of our company, and a sacred stone called Ube stone is enshrined. It is said that this place was the place where Emperor Jinmu lived when he was a child. It is written that Emperor Jimmu lived here with his father Ugayafuki Aezu no Mikoto during his childhood until he moved to Hyuga (Miyazaki City) at the age of fifteen. The Nishimoro district is located in the southwestern part of Miyazaki Prefecture, and consists of two cities and one town (Kobayashi City, Ebino City, and Takaharu Town, Nishimorokata District) surrounded by the Kyushu Mountains to the north and the Kirishima foothills to the southwest. It is famous as an agricultural area that spreads out on the plateau. In the southern part of Miyazaki Prefecture, the Shirasu Plateau(It is a typical pyroclastic flow plateau composed of Shirasu and welded tuff originating from Kakuto caldera, Ata caldera, Aira caldera and Ikeda caldera. It occupies 52% of Kagoshima mainland and 16% of Miyazaki prefecture.)was widely formed by the Ito pyroclastic flow that formed the Aira Caldera. In particular, it is distributed widely and thickly in the area from Kobayashi City to Miyakonojo City, including the Nishimoro area, and spreads like a plateau. Agricultural land is well-drained and suitable for growing vegetables and fruits, but it is vulnerable to drought due to its lack of water retention capacity. In addition, since it is susceptible to erosion by running water, it seems that careful consideration of construction is required during construction. Kobayashi City is rich in nature, and the “Ikoma Plateau” at the foot of Mt. Kirishima is filled with seasonal flowers such as rape blossoms and poppies in the spring, crape myrtle and salvia in the summer, and cosmos in the fall. Also, from mid-May to June, you can see the wild dance of Genji fireflies that live in Idenoya Park. This is a production area of fruits such as Earl’s melon “Meromero melon” certified by Miyazaki brand, ripe mango “Taiyo no Tamago”, and ripe kumquat “Tamatama”. The town of Takaharu, which is famous as a mythical village, is also famous as the birthplace of Emperor Jimmu. If you visit historic sites and shrines that still exist today, you will find numerous myths, legends, and traditional events. In addition, ruins from the Jomon period to the Kofun period have been unearthed, and so far more than 100 in four groups have been discovered. Production of Miyazaki beef is thriving, and the quality of its meat is highly evaluated both inside and outside the prefecture. In addition, “green tea”, which is cultivated taking advantage of the climate where the temperature difference between the day and the day is large and where fog is likely to occur, is a specialty of the town. Streptomyces sp. is a disease that was first recognized in Miyazaki Prefecture around 1985. It seems to produce many nodules (carcinomas) on the roots of melons that range from 1 mm to 2 cm in diameter. When the occurrence of cancer increases, it wilts, and if it becomes severe, it may wither. The small thorns resemble the bumps of a root-knot nematode and are difficult to identify. Knots on the roots are as small as 1 mm at first, similar to root-knot nematode damage. If it becomes severe, it will be about 1 cm in diameter, and sometimes these may be combined to form a large nodule with a diameter of about 5 cm. Knots occur in various places from the tip of the root to the ground part of the stem, but because the pathogen is aerobic, they tend to occur relatively close to the ground surface. It seems that there are times when it occurs and bumps appear on the ridges and in the passages. This disease often occurs in high temperature and dry conditions, but unless the degree of occurrence is high, the above-ground symptoms will not appear and the quality will be less affected. It occurs mostly in miscellaneous melons, but in some areas it seems to occur in Earl’s melons as well. According to research results from a while ago, it is thought to be a new strain of the genus Streptomyces, but it was necessary to reexamine the classification system. As a result of examining a more reliable method for isolating the pathogenic actinomycete of this disease, the isolation from the nodules formed by the disease was treated with a 140-fold phenol aqueous solution for 10 minutes and then cultured in B medium at 28°C for 5 days. It seems that the method of separating by consider the pathogenic environment. High-concentration pathogenic actinomycetes caused damping of melon seedlings, and the degree of death seemed to vary depending on the soil. In soils with different soil properties (unadjusted pH), the severity of disease was severe in silty clay loam and clay loam, and lessened in sandy loam and loamy sandy soil. At soil temperatures between 15 and 35°C, disease is severe at 25°C and above, most severe at 35°C, and less severe below 20°C. At soil pH of 6.5 to 7.0, the disease was severely affected, but at 6.0 and 7.5, the disease was slightly decreased, and at 5.5 or less, the disease did not occur.

Using a non-destructive sorting machine with an optical sensor, all individual melons are inspected for internal quality such as sugar content and maturity, and delicious greenhouse melons that pass. A common name for a machine that can measure the internal quality of fruit by irradiating it with near-infrared rays. By introducing this fruit sorting machine, it has become possible to inspect all melons one by one without damaging the fruit. In addition, by attaching a sticker printed with an individual number to all melons, it seems that traceability has become possible, clarifying the responsibility of the producer.

Miyazaki Brand Certification Criteria: 100% inspection (sugar content, maturity inspection) using optical sensor sorter. Establish traceability. JA gardening brand standard A3 or higher. Sugar content 14 degrees or more. Criteria for accreditation of Earl’s varieties and product brand production areas. The size of the production area should be approximately 1 ha or more. Carrying out planned production and shipment. A shipping system for quality control, inspection system, complaint processing, etc. must be established. The agricultural products this time are grade B, but I would like to note the brand criteria.

Earl’s melons should be eaten when the color of the skin is uniform, the nets are fine and uniform, the antennae are green and they do not wilt. Pay attention to temperature and water management, and use bees for mating. In order to produce high-quality products, Earl’s melons produce 1 fruit from 1 plant. Approximately 3 days before harvest, the sugar content is tested, and 55 to 60 days after mating is harvested with a target sugar content of 15 degrees. It is packed in a cosmetic box by an excellent producer and shipped after undergoing strict inspection at JA. Earl’s melons in Miyazaki Prefecture are produced by utilizing the abundance of sunshine and introducing unique varieties from each JA. Varieties and cultivation methods have been established for each of the autumn, winter, spring, and summer cropping types, and it seems that they are trying to brand them by introducing high-level optical sensors. It goes without saying that the western part of the prefecture facing the Kirishima mountain range is characterized by a mild climate and has long been an area where melon cultivation has flourished.
