Place names are derived from people's names. Yoritsugu KANEDA (Unknown-1182: Lord of Kaneda Township, Nagara County, Kazusa Province. It was located near the mouth of the Obitsu River), son of Tsunezumi Kazusa, who ruled Kaneda Township, Boto District, Kazusa Province (now Kisarazu City, Chiba Prefecture). This is why he called himself Mr. Kaneda. He was the son-in-law of Yoshiaki MIURA and served MINAMOTO no Yoshitomo along with his brother Hirotsune KAZUSA, and it is believed that he played a role in building a base of power for the Genji clan in the Kanto region. Although Minamoto no Yoritomo should have made an achievement when he raised an army, it seems that his name only remained in the battle of Kinugasa Castle in Azuma Kagami. It is thought that Hirotsune's later assassination by Yoritomo influenced this. Hirotsune played an active role as a military commander under Yoshitomo in the Hogen War and the Heiji War, and when he left at Katada no Ura(Otsu City: 心引くかひこそなけれあふ事はかたゞの浦のあまのうけ縄, 祝部成賢(続後拾遺集). 春のくるかたゞの浦の朝なぎに見るめもしらず立つ霞かな, 円光院入道 前太政大臣. あふことはかたゞの浦の沖津波立つ名ばかりや契なるらん, 道暁法師(新拾遺集). 終に又うき名やたゝん逢ふ事はさても堅田の浦のあだ浪, 宗成(続拾遺集). いにしへはいともかしこしかたゞ鮒つゝみやきなる中の玉章, 衣笠内大臣(新撰六帖). 来し方は堅田の浦に干す網の目に懸りつる山の端もなし, 一条兼良(藤川の記))on the west coast of Lake Biwa, he was delighted that Yoritomo, who was still a boy, raised an army. become a person. However, he was murdered by MINAMOTO no Yoritomo, who interfered with Hirotsune due to a conflict of opinion, and his family lost their territory and was confined. After that, the family was forgiven, but many of their territories were lost. The tragedy for Hirotsune was not only that he was murdered, but also that historical facts about Hirotsune were rewritten in order to make Yoritomo a great samurai leader. It seems that it was deleted or deleted. The worst is Azuma Kagami, which erases a year's worth of events that occurred in 1183 when Hirotsune was killed in December. As a result, Hirotsune's image was distorted and Yoritsugu was erased from history. It seems that his descendants were able to survive thanks to Tsunetane CHIBA, who knew that Yoritsugu had died a tragic death when he was imprisoned. Since then, the Kaneda clan (including the Kaburagi clan) has been recorded in the Chiba genealogy by walking with the Chiba head family, and we, the descendants of today, can learn about our ancestors.) according to. In order to strengthen his ties with the Kazusa clan, Yoshiaki MIURA married off his daughter to Yoritsugu. It seems that he moved to this place on the Miura Peninsula, and the place was named Kaneda VILLAGE.

People who contributed to the construction of Edo from the sea. He left many footprints and tracks in Tokyo's Kabutocho (Nihonbashi, Edobashi and the tip of eyes and flowers), Reiganjima; Shinkawa, Honjo, Fukagawa, and Kasai-Shogen MUKAI Clan-Kentoji (Shiraishi Town); Myoshinji School. 

【Product name】
mini winter melon
【Type】
Benincasa hispida
【Product Area】
Kaneda, Minamishitaura Town, Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture (Miura City Agricultural Cooperative)
【Origin of name】
The theory that it is harvested in autumn and can be preserved until winter, and that it is ripe at room temperature over winter is predominant. Via China, the Chinese word "winter gourd" is read aloud "Tuguwa" and the accent is "Togan". "Toyohashi Nanbu benincasa hispida" refers to wax gourd produced by coloring the whole fruit and setting strict selection criteria with an emphasis on appearance.
【Major features】
Introduced in 1985 as a substitute crop for summer crops of watermelons, pumpkins and melons. Currently, we are cultivating small winter melons (May-July), mini winter melons (June-August), and large winter melons (June-September). It seems that about 120,000 cases of small winter melon and about 60,000 cases of large winter melon are shipped. Everyone who belongs to the Miura Winter Melon Association is an eco-farmer. Eco-farmers are producers who are certified by Kanagawa Prefecture and who are promoting eco-friendly farming. In 1999, Japan enacted the Law Concerning the Promotion of the Introduction of Highly Sustainable Agricultural Production Methods (Sustainable Agriculture Law) in order to promote environmentally friendly agriculture. Under this law, the prefectural governor certifies farmers who intend to introduce a production method that integrates soil preparation with compost, etc., and reduction in the use of chemical fertilizers and synthetic pesticides. With the abolishment of the Sustainable Agriculture Act on July 1, 2022, new certification for eco-farmers will end. It seems that efforts to mix cargo and passengers to carry food and other luggage with passengers by utilizing the empty space of trains and buses are spreading in the prefecture. Until now, it has been promoted as a measure to maintain the transportation network in depopulated areas nationwide, but as the number of passengers declines due to the new coronavirus, it seems that expectations are being raised as a new source of income in the metropolitan area as well. Keikyu Corporation (Nishi Ward, Yokohama City) started a demonstration experiment in April to load vegetables harvested by farmers in Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture along the line from Misakiguchi Station onto a train and sell them at a special venue in front of Kamiooka Station. In addition, it seems that it was found on June 24, 2022 that the Koyo shopping street (Moroiso) in the Miura city and Misaki district will be dissolved. While the number of affiliated stores is decreasing, it seems that they have decided to dissolve in 2022 in consideration of the cost of removing the street lights to be managed. Street lights also play a role in crime prevention, and residents seem to be worried. The shopping district is an area centered around the road about 600 meters from the Jogashima entrance intersection on the prefectural road Yokosuka Misaki Line toward Misaki Port.

The genealogy of the rise and fall of the Miura Clan, which dates back to the feudal era of the Middle Ages, is nothing but the history of Miura's prosperity and rise and fall for about 450 years. The story of the clan's activities and sorrows, including Genji, Hojo, and Ashikaga, during the heyday of the Kamakura Period and the destruction of the Muromachi Period, is an honor of Military Family. The fierce battle with Soun Hojo at Arai; Misaki Castle, the Aburatsubo that became the end of the Miura clan, lasted for three years. Yoshiatsu; 道寸 Miura, Mr. Arajiro's parent and child's bravery, and the tragic story that most of the road dimensions and officers decayed into Aburatsubo Bay at the time of the fall of the castle are still in the appearance of a quiet cove. I'm keeping it. Ancient, Jomon, Yayoi, and Kofun period ruins are widely distributed in the city. In the early Kamakura period, the Miura clan, including Yoshimori WADA, was active. Also, during this period, three palace of cherry blossoms, camellia, and peaches were opened in Misaki, and many important people including Minamoto no Yoritomo visited. A banquet is held by planting cherry trees on Jogashima and Hozoyama in Misaki. During the Edo period, it was a busy port town and was gradually developed as a fishing port, which laid the foundation for the formation of a city as a pelagic fishing base in recent years. In 1590, when Mr. Gohojo was destroyed by Hideyoshi-Ko's attack on Odawara Castle, Ieyasu left the Tokai region in response to Hideyoshi's intention, and the former territory of Gohojo, the six Kanto countries Kozuke,. It is reported that the territory was changed to Kazusa, Shimosa, Sagami, Musashi, Izu and entered Edo Castle. Ieyasu placed the Hatamoto in a place that can be reached overnight from Edo, and in the distance, mainly selected the meritorious people of the Tokai era as daimyo and placed them on the Tokaido line. Miura District; The Miura Peninsula is under the direct control of all but some of the flagship territories, and Nagatsuna Hasegawa was invited by Suruga as the deputy head of the government, and a camp was set up on the shores of Uraga Bay. In 1594, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's nationwide land survey was conducted all over the country, and Kokudaka of rice was seized in Miura District. His servant, Masafusa Moriya(旧武田家家臣), was involved in the inspection of Kikoba Village as a substitute for Nagatsuna, the deputy chief of each. It is believed that many of the indigenous people who have been indigenous to the area since ancient times have been incorporated into Ieyasu's Military and agricultural separation policy and have become village officials. On the other hand, the Shogunate placed four ship magistrates, Masatsuna Mukai-Ko, Kagetaka Ohama-Ko, Takanori Mamiya, and Magobei Chiga, in Misaki, the southern tip of the Miura Peninsula, as a restraint at the mouth of Edo Bay. Mr. Mukai(今川氏, 武田氏, 徳川氏) was given the position of magistrate of the ship, and his power was famous in the sea of Sagami. In 1615, when the TOYOTOMI army was settled by the Siege of Osaka, the three were assigned to Edo, leaving only Mr. Mukai, who left the footsteps of the clan on the Miura Peninsula for a long time. “Misaki, Hashirimizu Guardhouse” : The Shogunate established various checkpoints to maintain security, and set up a maritime security action at Misaki and Hashirimizu as a maritime security at the mouth of Edo Bay. It is said that ascending ships were monitored in Misaki and descending ships were monitored in Hashirimizu. Direct retainer of a shogun acts as a magistrate at both bansho, and concentricity is in charge of the practice. The magistrate of Miura and Hashirimizu Bansho not only takes charge of all the work related to the sea, but also the deputy head of Miura District, Nagatsuna Hasegawa and Nagashige (nephew of Nagatsuna) died between 1596 and 1614. The camp is abolished. It is reported that in 1648, both magistrates also served as deputy officials except for a part of Miura District, and oversaw the village administration by paying the annual tribute rice under the direct control of the shogunate. As for the change of lords, the lords who rule here have changed with the times since Ieyasu-Ko entered the Kanto region. In 1590, Hideyoshi unification of the whole country and Miura District became under the direct control of Mr. TOKUGAWA. Land inspection is conducted in Nobi Village and Sugaruya Village in 1591. In 1600, the De Liefde was washed ashore in Bungo, and Mr. William Adams was sent to Uraga. Hemi Village to Anjin Miura (Williams Adams) from 1600 to 1614. After the fall of Osaka Castle (the destruction of Toyotomi) in 1615, Mr. Mamiya and others Misaki were withdrawn to Edo, and Mr. Chiga and Mr. Ohama were also withdrawn to Edo. Reconstruction of Shinbuji Yakushido in Numama Village in 1622. 1632 Tadakatsu Mukai-Ko, ordered to Hashirimizu number, Yoriki six horses, concentric thirty people are entrusted. In 1639, itabi-type Koshinto was built at Sogenji Temple in Kugyo Village (the oldest Koshinto in the city). 1641 Masakata Mukai, Otsu, and Morisaki were given 1,000 koku and became a Hashirimizu ship magistrate. 1660, Shinzaemon Sunamura begins development of Uchikawa Shinden. 1665, Shinzaemon Build a monument on the Yawata River tide embankment. 1667 Sunamura-Ko completes 585 Ishiyo Uchikawa Shinden. 1674 Mukai Shogen Masakatsu died (Tadakatsu's sixth son), buried in Otsu Village Teishoji Temple A fish wholesaler in Edo Odawara, Honmoku Kanazawa Territory and Miura 17gaura argue for entry and exit. 1679 Uchikawa Shinden divided into two (later Zenroku group, Yobei group). 1683 Takeyama Fudoson moves from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain 1688 Higashiurawa's Subashiri (fry of mullet) fishing is subject to 13 tax; 貫: 1300両 = 13000匁 = 約48.75 kg. 1691 Uraga Tomyodo's expenses are charged to the dried eel wholesaler 1692 Uraga is divided into Higashi Uraga and Nishi Uraga. 1696 Misaki and Hashirimizu magistrates are abolished. 1703 Minami-Kantou, Tokai earthquake, tsunami wrecked Uraga, Higashi-Uraga's dried eel wholesaler was damaged, and the gate of Daimeiji Temple in Kanaya village was destroyed. 1720 The Shimoda magistrate is abolished and a magistrate's office is set up in Uraga. First magistrate Hori Okinokami Toshio, Yoriki 10 people, Concentric 50 people 1721 Inspection of kaisen begins at Uraga guardhouse. 1739 Higashi-Uraga's dried eel wholesaler, unpaid due to past luck, pleaded with Uraga magistrate's office again. 1740 Boso Mikuni's dried eels have been declining to the top of the hierarchy that they should be landed in Higashiuraga. 1750 Matsudaira Yamato no kami Tomonori occupies 32 villages in Miura District. 1777 Shogoro Edoya asks Uraga to open a laundry shop (prostitute business). After that, on January 1, 1955, Misaki Town, Minamishitaura Town, and Hasse Village merged to form “Miura City”, which continues to this day. “Minamishitauramachi Agricultural Cooperative" will be added on April 1, 1969. “Japanese Aokubi (greenhead)radish”, It is said that it was first cultivated as Miura radish since the Meiji era. Initially, the surrounding area was from the sea, and transportation was carried to Tokyo by ship, but at the end of the Taisho era, transportation was shifted to automobiles. Along with the advancement of cultivation techniques under the guidance of agricultural associations, voluntary unions were formed by producers. Mainly on sale in the Tokyo market. In the latter half of the Showa 30's(1950s), the number of farmers who own private and transport vehicles increased, and individual shipments increased. Agricultural cooperatives will strengthen joint shipping and sales, and in 1978, 3 million cases, more than half of which will be jointly shipped, will be reflected. Introduced in 1979 in light of consumption trends such as miniaturization, weight reduction, and sweet taste. Since it sells higher than "Miura japanese white radish", it became mainstream in the latter half of the 1970s.)and agriculture centered on open-field vegetable cultivation in the suburbs of the Tokyo metropolitan area. 野菜生産出荷安定法,(Act on Stabilization of Production and Shipment of Vegetables), 昭和四十一年,法律第百三号,(Act No. 103 of 1966): We are striving for planned production and shipment such as vegetable price stabilization business. Radish grows lush even in winter and is shipped mainly from December to March. It is said that the shipping time is decided by dividing into the conventional Miura radish (White), Winter radish and Spring radish, and the cultivation method is decided for each variety. Producers strives for proper use of chemical fertilizers, healthy soil preparation, and soil conservation. Competitive plant, green manure crop planting, manure building installation. There is no dedication to ensuring a stable organic fertilizer. There are seventeen collection and shipping areas in the jurisdiction, and Producers bring in individually selected radishes. The staff in charge inspects and receives the goods, and the union decides the shipping quantity by market and transports it to the market. For vegetables in Miura, the producers are thoroughly booked in the control management diary. We cultivate open-air cultivation that makes full use of the warm nature of the Miura Peninsula to provide delicious radishes. Require an extraordinary effort and involvement. The boughs that bear most hang lowest. I think so too. The better the person, the more humble. Typical industry: Fisheries centered on the Misaki fishing port(Specified Type 3 Fishing Port; Designated on March 21, 1960. Act on Development of Fishing Ports and Grounds, Act No. 137 of 1950(漁業漁場整備法, 昭和二十五年, 五月二日, 法律第百三十七号, 漁業法, 昭和二十四年, 法律第二百六十七号)): The term “Japanese port” as used in this Act shall mean those ports and harbors for which port and harbor area was publicly noticed, pursuant to the provision of paragraph 1, Article 9 of Ports and Harbors Act (Act No. 218 of 1950) including the cases where it is applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to paragraph 2, Article 33 of the said Act, and fishing ports as provided in Article 2 of Act on Development of Fishing Ports and Grounds (Act No. 137 of 1950). In the Taisho era, a tuna longline fishing boat equipped with a diesel engine appeared, and it seems that the motorization and size of the fishing boat progressed rapidly. Kaneda Bay morning market: Direct sales of fishermen, farmers, and producers Seasonal ingredients and specialty products are crowded and crowded. Anniversary, every Sunday 5: 50-7: 30 May-September: Every Saturday 12: 00-16: 00, Ends as soon as sold out. December 29th (Sat) and 30th (Sun) at the end of the year, big sale at the end of the year (held from 5:50 as soon as there are no more products. Reopening date, from 5:30 am on Sunday, June 7, R2 (scheduled to be held every Sunday thereafter). A venerable place that has been held since 1987. Marine recreation, which shows a wide variety of areas, is also adding new attractions as a tourism product. Due to the influence of the Kuroshio Current, the winter is warm, with an average annual temperature of 15.5 degrees Celsius, annual rainfall of 1,500 mm, and annual sunshine hours of more than 2,100 hours, which belongs to the oceanic climate. The cultivated area is 1,791 hectares, of which more than 98% are fields (including orchards,2012). Agriculture centered on open-field vegetables that take advantage of the warm climate is active as a core industry. In particular, Japanese white radish: Boasts the largest planted area, yield, and shipment volume in Japan,(Japanese radish with a greenish head)and cabbage(It is one of the best producing areas in Japan and produces autumn / winter cabbage and spring cabbage. It has the second oldest history after radish and is said to have started around 1890. In the olden days, winter cabbage was cultivated, which was flat and tightly headed. In the first half of the 1965's, the soft and sweet spring cabbage that has been cultivated until now was introduced in the winter cropping type. Raising seedlings on the ground is the mainstream. Compared to cell-molded seedlings, it takes time and effort to take measures against pests such as soil disinfection. However, since it does not require special facilities or materials, it can be manufactured at low cost. I heard that spring cabbage, which is planted in severe winter, which cannot be rooted by plug seedling, can also be raised. Since the optimum planting period is long, it is possible to plant plants even if the harvest of the previous crop is around due to typhoons or unseasonable weather.)are Famous as one of the largest production areas in Japan, and are famous as nationally designated production areas(1980). There are many vegetables and fruits, but recently, autumn and winter vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower are also produced. On October 1, 1965, “Hasse Town” and “Misaki Town” merged to form “Miura city Farmers' Cooperative.” Minamishitaura Town Agricultural Cooperative will be added on April 1, 1969. “Spring cabbage” country designated production area ; Cultivation is the second oldest after Radish and is said to have started around 1892. Previous, the mainstream was the Toran(寒玉, 冬藍) Winter Cabbage, which was flat and tightly headed. The first half of the 1965's(Winter cropping) : Introduced the soft and sweet Spring cabbage that has been cultivated until now : Then, the cropping pattern with early spring was established. Spring cabbage is from 1965, ‘early spring cabbage’ is 1980. Seeds every year from late September to mid-October : Planted from late October to mid-February : It is expected to be harvested from early March to early May. It is characterized by being sweeter and softer than early spring cabbage. It is popular as a variety suitable for raw food such as salads. Cultivation at the right time for growth is essential for spring cabbage. The damage from pests is small, and the number of times the drug is sprayed is small. After spring cabbage, mid-early cabbage will also be shipped in mid-May. Root decay disease and damping-off are diseases that become a problem at the seedling raising stage. Drugs are commonly used to prevent this. Availability of solar heat as a resource conservation method with less burden on the environment-Part of the Miura Peninsula. In connection with that, we are working on a soil disinfection method. Soil solarization ; Apply fertilizer and maintain it so that it can be seeded. By covering the nursery with vinyl, the soil temperature rises. In addition, it can kill bacteria that are sensitive to high temperatures and control weeds. Cost reduction by using old vinyl used for cultivation of Melon and Watermelon. In addition, by covering, the surface of the soil can be kept moist. It becomes very good as a seed condition with summer wisdom. I hear that raising seedlings on the ground is the mainstream in production areas. Ground seedling raising ; Compared to cell-molded seedlings(plug seedling), measures against pests such as soil disinfection are required. This is a lot of work and effort. However, it does not require any special facilities or materials, so it seems that it can be made at low cost. Plug seedling-Spring cabbage that is planted in the cold season when it cannot survive can also be raised. In addition, the optimum period for planting tends to be long. Planting is possible even if the harvest of the previous crop is around due to typhoons and inclemency. In the area, three croppings in two years rotation cropping are performed. And the turnover rate of the field is very high. In order to speed up shipping, “Intercession” in part. It's a task that must maintain the system. For intercropping, the ridges of radish or cabbage are set wider than usual. Planted between ridges before harvesting the previous crop ; Spring Cabbage. The previous radish is harvested from December to January. The planting time is around mid-November before that : Before the previous radish is harvested, it is intercropped in the furrows. There is also an example of planting spring cabbage as an intercropping of early spring cabbage. Harvest ; The stock is sufficiently headed and pushed from above to harden, and this is done in sequence. It is divided into about 3 times to wait for it to grow to large(L)size. Pack the stock in a 10 kg cardboard box(8 pieces L size center)and go to the collection and shipping area. Everyone cooperated(Agricultural cooperative / Municipal / prefectural related organizations)in 2008 to promote and practice GAP(Good Agricultural Practices)- Formed a promotion subcommittee. Workshops have been held since the fall of 2009. Distribute check sheets to each producer. Raised mainly using organic fertilizer ; Surrounded by the sea, it is exposed to plenty of sunlight and is soft even in winter. Approximately 3.1 million cases (Approximately 3,500 large trucks) have been shipped. The union sells sweet, fluffy and soft spring cabbage on an online shopping site. The freshness is the best because it is harvested in the morning and shipped that day. By all means, everyone should try it. It was cultivated from the middle of the Meiji era, and increased rapidly from around 1957 due to the spread of grafting cultivation. The varieties are “Fujihikari TR Watermelon” and “Matsuri Bayashi 11 Watermelon” for large ball, and “Himekansen Watermelon” and “Madderball Watermelon” for small ball Watermelon. Wax gourd and Lagenaria siceraria var. hispida are mainly used as rootstocks, and planting is from early April to early May, and there are two cultivation methods: tunnel pruning and non-pruning “Okkabuse cultivation” ; Cultivation method that simplifies ventilation work by cultivating in a vinyl tunnel with ventilation holes. In addition, in order to improve the quality, there seems to be some prior cultivation in which a tunnel is made at the tip of the vine during the fruit set period. The harvest period is from late June to mid-August, and the yield is about 5,000 kg per 10 a. Watermelons on the Miura Peninsula have a crispy texture and a unique juiciness, and are highly evaluated by the market and consumers. “Kodama watermelon from Miura city”, The flesh is as crisp as a large watermelon, and the skin is dark green with thick stripes and clear. The pericarp is thin and about 3 mm, but it has sufficient hardness and tends not to crack in a few things. It is known as a variety with significantly less fruit cracking during transportation and physiological fruit cracking during growth. Small ball is in season in summer, and the quality of the second fruit is the same as that of the first fruit. It has a sugar content of 13 degrees or more and a strong crispness, and has the best taste. The varieties are mainly grown in greenhouses and large tunnels, but they are also suitable for harvesting in August for outdoor cultivation and October to December for controlled cultivation. It has few seeds and is easy to eat, it is sweet to the edge of the skin, and it is kind to nature because the skin is thin and there is little kitchen waste.

Winter melon, which is said to have originated in India long ago, is popular in China and Japan, and is a versatile vegetable with a long history, especially the skin and seeds, which are used as herbal medicines. A mini winter melon weighs about 1.5 to 2 kg, a clear difference compared to a large winter melon weighing over 5 kg. It seems that Miura City Agricultural Cooperative has been cultivating it for more than 45 years with the aim of differentiating it with a small winter melon that is easy to pick up among large winter melons. Winter melon seems to be a seasonal vegetable in summer, and it looks cool and goes well with refreshing dishes. The skin is great for stir-frying, the cotton is great for soups, and the fruit is great for simmering. Since it is a highly storable vegetable, it can be stored whole, but it is convenient to peel it, cut it into small pieces, and freeze it. Downy hairs are called trichomes. It seems that trichomes are differentiated from the epidermal cells of plants. It has been observed everywhere, including leaves, stems, fruits, and corollas. Plant epidermal cells are elongated, and depending on the plant species, there are single-celled ones and multi-celled ones, and they range from very long to very short spines. As for long ones, the trichome of the seed coat of plant cotton is cotton boll. Each trichome has a different role, but it can protect against strong light (ultraviolet rays), prevent excessive water loss from the stomata during strong winds, and make it difficult for small pests to approach the leaf body. I hear there is.


Mini winter melon Fukutsuzumi (Tohoku Co., Ltd.: Embraced by the earth, the seeds sprout, bloom, and bring us a great harvest. Tohoku is a company that has been earnestly engaged in research and development of seeds with the desire to discover and maximize their potential. Tohoku is making steady progress towards the creation of a prosperous future, entrusting small seeds with big dreams.) The feature is that the average fruit weight is around 1.5 kg. The fruit shape is cylindrical and regular, and a high rate of excellent quality can be expected. Very little white powdery substance occurs on the skin surface, and the color of the peel is dark green. The vigor of the grass is stable and strong, and the female flower and pollen formation are good, and the fruit setting is good.  Can be harvested around 30 days after flowering. For long-term storage, fully ripened harvest is desirable. Although it depends on the season, it seems to reach full maturity in about 40 days after flowering. Princess winter melon (Takii Seed Co., Ltd.) is a mini type with a bale-shaped fruit and an average fruit weight of about 1.5 kg. The flesh is white, soft and thick. The pericarp color is dark green and uniform, with very little bloom. Excellent fruit setting and excellent quality Female flowers are stably generated, have excellent fruit setting, and the size of the fruit tends to be uniform. There is little disturbance in the shape of the fruit, and the excellent product rate is high. The grass is rather strong, has stamina, has excellent heat resistance, and has a high fruiting rate, making it easy to cultivate. Because it is a thermophilic plant, it is not cold-resistant and can only be grown in cool areas during the summer. * Since it is an example, there are some differences from the product.


What is the Kanagawa brand ?(In order to register as a Kanagawa brand product, it is necessary to meet the registration requirements set by the Kanagawa Brand Promotion Council.)The Kanagawa Brand Promotion Council (Kaigan-dori, Naka Ward, Yokohama City, Kanagawa), which consists of the prefecture and producer groups, adheres to unified production and shipping standards and ensures a certain level of quality. Agricultural, forestry and fishery products and processed products that meet the requirements are registered as the "Kanagawa Brand." There are 70 registered products and 125 registered products (as of January 2023). The council registers stores and restaurants that actively handle prefectural products, including registered Kanagawa brand products, as "Kanagawa Brand Support Stores." In addition, there are many morning markets and direct sales shops that sell local products in the prefecture.

Real-time viewing is possible on smartphones (a general term for mobile phones equipped with mobile operating systems) and tablets (information terminals that can be operated by directly touching the screen and can be carried). It is always recording in the cloud using IoT (Internet of Things; things communicate via the Internet), and it seems easy to check past images. In addition, when there is some movement, the motion detection function alerts the relevant parties. On November 18, 2022, parent company KDDI and SORACOM applied for a stock listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange by SORACOM, which provides the IoT platform.

In preparation for large-scale disasters such as huge earthquakes and typhoons, Yamanashi City signed an emergency disaster agreement with JA Fruit Yamanashi to use facilities for storing relief supplies. It seems to be the result of preparing for a large-scale disaster. On March 20, 2023, Mayor Takagi and President Nishijima attended the agreement ceremony held at Yamanashi City Hall. We are exchanging letters. The agreement stipulates that JA Fruit Yamanashi's nine common election sites in the city will be used as bases for storing large amounts of relief supplies sent in the event of a large-scale disaster and for distribution to citizens. It seems that there is  Until now, Yamanashi City had envisioned three locations as bases for storing and distributing emergency relief supplies: Yamanashi Citizen General Gymnasium, Hanakage Hall in Yamanashi City, and hot water in Mitomi Fuefuki. Strengthen measures.

【Product name】
Hikawa Hakuho PEACH
【TYPE】
Amygdalus persica L.
【Wholesale land】
Kuwado, Kasugai Town, Fuefuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture (JA Fruits Yamanashi, JA Zenno Yamanashi)
【Origin of name】
It was discovered in 1973 by Toshiyuki Tagusagawa of Itchotanaka, Yamanashi City, Yamanashi Prefecture, as a wase sporting variety of "Hakuho Peach", and was registered as a variety in 1981. The Hikawa River is a tributary of the Fuefuki River that flows down the eastern part of the Kofu Basin in Yamanashi Prefecture.
【FEATURE】
Yamanashi City (Itchotanaka), the sacred place of the developer of Hikawa Hakuho Peach, is located in the northeastern part of Yamanashi Prefecture and the eastern part of the Kofu Basin, about 100 km from Tokyo. In addition, it borders Koshu City in the east, Chichibu City in Saitama Prefecture and Kawakami Village in Nagano Prefecture in the north. In addition, Mt. Kobu Shingatake is the headwaters of the Chikuma River, Arakawa River, and Fuefuki River, and is famous as the watershed of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of ​​Japan. The Chichibu mountain range and Nishizawa Valley in the north belong to Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park and are visited by many climbers and tourists. Forests cover more than 80% of the area of ​​the city, and with the benefits of fertile land brought by the Fuefuki River and its tributaries, the Hikawa, Omogawa, Anigawa, Tsutsumigawa, and Kotogawa rivers, the area spreads over gentle slopes and flat land. The peach and grape orchards have a beautiful local landscape and boast one of the largest production volumes in the prefecture. In terms of traffic conditions, it is highly convenient, being only 90 minutes from central Tokyo on the JR Chuo Main Line and Chuo Expressway. , and Chichibu City in Saitama Prefecture via the Karisaka Tunnel. The toll road eliminates the impassable section of National Route 140 at the border between Saitama and Yamanashi prefectures. The opening of this road forms a wide-area circular network in the western Kanto region. Both Saitama and Yamanashi prefectures. Approximately 80% of the logistics volume (approximately 1 million tons per year) between the two areas is dependent on automobile transportation, but until now it had been forced to detour to the Tokyo area. However, with the opening of this toll road, transportation has decreased. It is expected that the time will be greatly shortened and that it will greatly contribute to the reduction of distribution costs, and in the future it will contribute to exchanges in various fields such as industry, culture, and economy as a gateway to the West Kanto area. It is in an important position as the northern gateway to the Kofu Basin due to its connection with the northern Kanto region. Neighboring Kofu City plans to build Yamanashi Prefectural Station on the Maglev Chuo Shinkansen, and Fuefuki City, which is adjacent to Yamanashi City, is proceeding with the construction of the New Yamanashi Ring Road (eastern section) the direction of. Further development is expected. Although it is located in a wide area of ​​Yamanashi City, it is a garden city located in the eastern part of the Kofu Basin, and is blessed with good traffic conditions, being 90 minutes from central Tokyo by JR Chuo Main Line and Chuo Expressway. The northern part belongs to Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park and is visited by many climbers and tourists, making it the gateway to the north of Yamanashi Prefecture. Features of Yamanashi City: The structure of the land with different elevations and a compact city. The topography is based on the Fuefuki River that flows through the center of the city, the northern part is a mountainous forest area with a series of 100 famous mountains in Japan, and the right bank of the Fuefuki River in the south is hilly. The ground and the left bank have a clear topographical structure consisting of flat land, and there is an elevation difference of about 2,300 m between the flat land in the south and the mountainous area in the north. Compact urban areas and settlements with certain urban functions have been formed, such as the Yamanashi region in the south, which has been opened to the lowlands by irrigation, and settlements scattered along old roads. There is Yamanashi City, the northern gateway to the Kofu Basin, is 90 minutes from central Tokyo on the JR Chuo Main Line and Chuo Expressway. It is connected to Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture via National Route 140 Karisaka Tunnel, and is located in an important position as the northern gateway to the Kofu Basin. In the future, in the vicinity of the city, the Yamanashi Prefectural Station of the Linear Chuo Shinkansen is scheduled to be established, and the development of the Chubu Odan Expressway connecting Shizuoka Prefecture and Nagano Prefecture and the New Yamanashi Ring Road (eastern section) are also underway. Further development is expected due to improved traffic conditions. Forests account for about 80% of Japan's excellent scenery and abundant tourism resources. Created by rivers such as the Fuefuki River, Omogawa River, and Hikawa River and their tributaries. Benefiting from fertile land, the gentle slopes are lined with orchards, forming a beautiful local landscape that drives the image of the Kyoutou region. In addition, the view of the Kofu Basin from the hills is superb, and the night view from Fuefukigawa Fruit Park has been selected as one of the New Three Great Night Views of Japan. In addition, the view of Mt. Fuji is also excellent, and the view of Mt. Fuji from 12 places in the city, such as Ohira Kogen, Saikai Park, Mt. In 2018, the Agency for Cultural Affairs designated the story of "Landscapes woven by vineyards ~ Kyoto region of Yamanashi Prefecture ~" as a Japan Heritage. The major features are "topographical structure with different elevations and a compact town", "north of the Kofu Basin" doorway, "excellent scenery and abundant tourism resources", "one of the leading fruit producing areas in Japan", and "distinct historical and rich historical and cultural heritage". According to Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, leprosy (alpho: from the Norwegian Dr. Gerhard Hansen (1841-1921) who discovered Mycobacterium leprae) does not appear to be a contagious disease. In handling outpatients, examinations, and hospitalizations, the same caution as HBs antigen-positive (HBe antigen-negative: HBV has strong proliferative and infectious power, suggesting the possibility of severe liver damage if hepatitis develops) is required. It seems to be enough. No need for isolation, use of private rooms, or special disinfection of equipment. However, it seems better to avoid direct contact between infants and infants with L-type leprosy patients who have not received any treatment. It appears to be a treatable disease with a good prognosis. However, there are still some social prejudices that have not been wiped out, and special attention should be paid to protecting privacy. The lesions and clinical symptoms of Hansen's disease are sometimes difficult to understand because they consist of both direct tissue destruction caused by the proliferation of M. leprae and secondary tissue destruction caused by the body's immune response to M. leprae. It seems that there is something. It shows various symptoms depending on the disease type. Type T (Tuberculoid type), in which cell-mediated immunity to Mycobacterium leprae is almost normal, occurs when the immune system is weakened for some reason and the patient becomes infected with the bacterium. Many disorders occur, and it seems that diagnosis is mostly made from clinical symptoms such as neuropathy.), a few white spots or erythema accompanied by hypoesthesia, peripheral nerve hypertrophy and paralysis, and leprosy is hardly detected. Type L (Lepromatous type, type I) in which cellular immunity against Mycobacterium leprae does not work: A yellowish-brown to reddish-brown rash and raised nodules appear symmetrically on the whole body. The most common sites are the face, hair, and eyebrows. In severe cases, facial deformation may also occur )), erythema, papules, and nodules occur frequently on the face and extremities. It seems that it can be done. As L-type progresses, glove / sock-like hypoesthesia appears. Type B (borderline type), in which cell-mediated immunity is unstable, appears to show polyneuritis accompanied by eruption. In neuropathy, the sensory nerves (ulnar, radial, sural, major auricular nerves, etc.) in low-temperature areas such as the extensor sides of the extremities and the face are damaged singly and violently (T type) or multiple times and slowly (L type). Hypersensitivity and hypoesthesia seem to occur. In type B, the symptoms of polyneuritis are often strong from the beginning. When inflammation reaches the motor nerves, motor paralysis and deformation occur in the periphery. Palpation is important because the above nerves are prone to nerve hypertrophy and tenderness. Lepromin (Mitsuda Reaction), an intradermal reaction to M. leprae antigens: Kensuke Mitsuda (1876-1964): A doctor who devoted himself to leprosy relief in Japan. After graduating from school, he studied pathology at the University of Tokyo elective course.Healthy people and neuroleptic leprosy patients show positive.The judgment method is tuberculin (substances (several kinds of proteins) separated and purified from the culture solution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis). However, since April 2005, direct BCG vaccination has been introduced and the tuberculin skin test has been omitted. When BCG vaccination is given at a medical institution as a voluntary vaccination beyond that, a tuberculin reaction test may be performed at the discretion of the doctor), and the reaction is negative for L-type. , T-type is positive, and serum anti-PGL-I antibody is high in L-type and low in T-type. It seems to be useful in classifying disease types. The WHO defines leprosy as any case that satisfies one or more of the following three criteria. Depigmentation or red rash (single or multiple) with apparent anesthesia. Peripheral nerve disorder, with obvious peripheral nerve hypertrophy with anesthesia. An acid-fast bacilli smear test from the skin was positive. Hansen's disease used to be treated in specialized medical institutions (leprosy sanatoriums, dermatology outpatient clinics at certain universities, etc.), but today, as with other common diseases, general clinics and hospitals around the world do not treat leprosy. are treated with In Japan, too, it is recommended to receive treatment at an outpatient department of dermatology or neurology at a general hospital. Partly because of the history of the disease, doctors with extensive experience with Hansen's disease tend to be unevenly distributed in a small number of medical institutions in Japan. It seems to be ideal that these doctors and the medical institution where the patient wants to receive treatment cooperate with each other. Also, from April 1996, it seems to be covered by health insurance. Treatment takes a few months at the shortest, and usually a few years, so it seems that you need to be prepared to sit down and deal with the disease without panicking. Kasugai Town is said to be the oldest capital of Kai Province. Based on the theme of "Ancient Kai no Sato," historical materials related to history and culture are exhibited, including a restored model of a three-storied pagoda, which is said to have existed at the Teramoto Abandoned Temple, which was located near the Folk Museum. In addition, special exhibitions are held two to three times a year, and the annual "Wagamachi no August 15th Exhibition" displays more than 1,000 photographs and relics of the war dead in Fuefuki City, which is highly acclaimed. Seems to be getting Also, Masako Ogawa (1902-1943: After graduating from Tokyo Women's Medical College (currently Tokyo Women's Medical University), he became a medical officer at Nagashima Aiseien, a national sanatorium in Okayama Prefecture, where he treated and examined patients. Kojima no Haru(Adapted by Yasutaro Yagi and directed by Shiro Toyoda, Masako Ogawa's memoir of the same name, which records the journey of a patient with leprosy (leprosy) to a national sanatorium. The story of a female doctor who dedicated her life to treating leprosy, published in 1940.)became a bestseller and was later made into a movie and widely known. The work depicts the state of the medical examination and the scene of the patient's farewell from his family in an elegant style. In 1943, Miss died of tuberculosis in her hometown of Kasugai, Yamanashi Prefecture, at the age of 41. However, heq compassionate actions are still etched in the hearts of many people to this day. It is said that Ogawa was the impetus for him to go on the path of helping Hansen's disease patients. Once the sanatoriums were established, the demand for medical personnel to work at the sanatoriums increased rapidly, but it seems that there were not many doctors who wanted to work at such facilities. In the era when the leprosy went to war, many of our graduates, like Miss, played a major role in helping Hansen's disease patients.) The memorial hall is dedicated to Kasugai Town, who dedicated his life to helping alpho; Hansen's disease(Mycobacterium leprae is a chronic infectious disease that mainly attacks the skin and nerves, but it is a curable disease in modern times with established treatment methods. Named after the Norwegian physician Armauer Hansen, who discovered the bacterium leprae in 1873. The growth rate of M. leprae is very slow, and the incubation period is about five years, but it seems that in some cases it takes as long as 20 years to develop symptoms. The first sign is patches on the skin, accompanied by loss of sensation in the affected area. The route of transmission is still unclear, and it is believed that the virus is transmitted through droplets from the nose and mouth through frequent contact with untreated patients. It is also less contagious and most people have natural immunity. Therefore, it is said to be the least infectious disease.)patients. Established to honor the achievements of Ms. Masako Ogawa, the town's first doctor, and pass it on to future generations. On the morning of June 15, 2022, a farmer noticed that a large number of unharvested peaches had disappeared from a field in Fuefuki City, and a total of about 1,400 peaches were stolen from four adjacent fields, according to police. I know from my research. The police suspected that it was stolen from the morning of the 14th to the 15th of the same month and investigated it as a theft case. Around 7:00 am on the 15th, a farmer in Kuwado, Kasugai Town, Fuefuki City, noticed that a large number of peaches he had been growing had disappeared and reported to the police. According to police and forensic investigations, about 1,400 peaches of a cultivar called "Hikawa Hakuhou Peach", which had been cultivated in four adjacent fields and had not yet been harvested, were lost, and the damage was worth about 420,000 yen. seems to have climbed to According to the police, it was confirmed that there was no abnormality in the field when the farm work was finished around 11:00 am on the 14th, so the police said that someone invaded the field from around noon on the 14th to the morning of the 15th. It is suspected that he took it away and was investigated as a theft case. The other day, about 1,000 peaches about to be harvested were stolen from an orchard in Fukushima City, Fukushima Prefecture, and the police investigated it as a theft case. Around 5:00 am on July 11, at an orchard in Kamata, Fukushima City, about 1,000 unharvested peaches were found missing from the trees and reported to the police. According to the police, some of the large orchards near the road were targeted, and the damage amount seems to be about 160,000 yen. The police are investigating the theft as someone stole it during the 10 hours from the end of the work around 6:30 pm on the 10th to the start of the work on the 11th morning. A female parliamentarian elected from another prefecture is using SNS to post about the theft of agricultural products, which has become a serious problem in recent years. I've been receiving a lot of consultations for a long time, and I've been moving to see if I can do something about it. However, the problem is complex and no breakthrough has been found yet. For example, since the introduction of cameras to capture evidence is a particularly heavy financial burden for small-scale farmers, we are discussing whether it is possible to provide assistance that also serves as a countermeasure against wildlife damage. After being arrested for red-handed crime, we have heard from elderly farmers in rural areas that, even if they witness the scene, they cannot move because they are afraid of counterattacks if there are multiple young foreigners. There are patrols and other measures in the area, but there is a limit without manpower. We must take measures that do not increase the burden on the victim's side. When I found it, I immediately reported it, and when I actually talked to the small-scale victim, I said, Are you a technical intern trainee at some farmers? In the countryside, people understand human relationships and circumstances, so some people give up reporting and fall asleep. It seems difficult to mercilessly ask for a report. Even if you report and catch it, you will not be prosecuted, which is really frustrating and a problem for thieves. Lawmakers cannot intervene in the prosecution's decisions, but too many cases are not prosecuted. Don't you take the theft of agricultural products lightly? Even if you are on camera, you will not be prosecuted. Foreigners who have committed criminal acts should be prosecuted and brought to justice, and should be immediately deported stop selling. Large-scale thefts are stolen because they sell, so it is necessary to stop the sales route. For example, I understand that there are formal people, such as street sales where the provenance is unknown, and sales on Mercari, etc., but if they are used as a destination for handling stolen goods, it is not possible to introduce sales qualifications such as identity guarantees for agricultural product listings. It seems that I am looking for it. In my opinion, people who commit crimes are the worst and cause a lot of trouble. However, there are many fundamental problems, and they are piling up. In the first place, there are countless reasons why agriculture has not developed (Special class (treatment) of agricultural workers(The number of household members engaged in self-employed farming as a regular job among the farming population. Since 1985, the number of commercial farmers (farmers with farmland of 30 a or more or annual sales of agricultural products of 500,000 yen or more)), declining birthrate, aging population, soaring fertilizer prices, immigration policy, exclusively defense posture, japan's economic stagnation for about 30 years, etc.). I think it's still meaningful for young politicians to send out information, but the original point is what to do in order not to make more people sad. Japan's rank has fallen among the developing countries, the happiness ranking has dropped significantly, young people are worried about their future, and they are trying to break through vested interests. In Japan, where there is no leeway, the question is what to do if Japanese politicians and governments torture Japanese people any further. Without flattering authority or status, I would like you to pay attention to gradually reduce the number of people who say that if only they are good, they don't care about others. In order for children and young people with a bright future to become shameless politicians and adults, why don't the government lift its weight and release the policies that oppress the people? On August 9, 2022, a conference made up of peach-producing regions nationwide, such as Fuefuki City, will be held online. It seems that the mayors of Fuefuki, Yamanashi, Koshu, Fukushima, and Kinokawa in Wakayama Prefecture participated in the meeting. It has been confirmed that they will discuss the United States' request to Japan to lift the ban on imports of peaches, and cooperate with related organizations to collect information on the quality and price of American peaches. In addition, it seems that they have decided to hold a "National Peach Summit" in Yamanashi City next year in 2023, where people involved in the production areas will gather to discuss how to respond to the request to lift the ban on imports. When the six towns and villages (Isawa Town, Misaka Town, Ichinomiya Town, Yatsushiro Town, Sakaigawa Village, Kasugai Town) merged on October 12, 2004, the name of the new city was solicited. It was narrowed down to two points, “Kyoto City”, and as a result of the final vote, it was decided to be Fuefuki City. Just as the water flowing through the six merged towns and villages gathers in the Fuefuki River, a number of streams became a big flow triggered by the merger, and the name was raised to become the center of Yamanashi, and it became a big swell and the ocean. It is a name with a wish to make a leap forward (nationwide), and as the name suggests, it is widely known. In addition, on August 1, 2006, it was merged with Ashigawa Village and became the current city of Fuefuki. The city's soil is fertile and well-drained, with long daylight hours and a large temperature difference between day and night, making it an excellent location for fruit tree cultivation. According to the fruit tree production and shipment statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, it is confirmed that the cultivated area, yield and shipment amount of peaches and grapes are all the highest among the municipalities in Japan. In praise of the achievements of the ancestors who have led the cultivation of historic Japanese fruit trees, we pledged to protect and further develop the wonderful fruit villages that we can be proud of throughout the country. On April 10, 2014, he declared “Japan's No. 1 Taoyuan Township”. In addition, the city has many diverse and valuable historical and cultural resources. The artifacts excavated from the Shakado and Ichinosawa sites during the Jomon period have been designated as important cultural properties, and valuable remains such as the front and rear burial mounds and stone mounds of the Kofun period remain. In the subsequent eras, Teramoto Abandoned Temple, the oldest temple in Yamanashi Prefecture during the Hakuho period, Kai Kokubunji Temple and Nanji Temple during the Nara period, and Isawa no Mikuri, the only Mikuriya(Kitchen: Jinryō, a manor of an ancient and medieval shrine)in Kai Province, were built. The city has been the center of Kai Province for about a thousand years from the establishment of ancient Kai to the relocation of Takeda's building to Kofu in 1519, and it was truly the “City of Kai Province Millennium.” Isawa hot spring Village and Kasugai hot spring Village, which are one of the best hot spring villages in Japan, welcome many tourists throughout the four seasons as tourist accommodation bases in Yamanashi Prefecture, and the city's public hot spring facilities and footbath facilities that utilize the blessed hot spring resources are It is crowded as a place of healing and charm for many people including citizens. It seems that we will continue to nurture “hospitality hot spring village” through the scenery and festivals that color the seasons. Located slightly east of the central part of the Kofu basin, this area collects water systems flowing from the mountainous hills in the northern, eastern, and southern parts of the basin, and the Fuefuki River flows southwest through the central part of the basin. Alluvial fans such as Hikawa, Kanagawa, Asakawa, and Sakaigawa and alluvial plains at the bottom of the basin spread, and agricultural land mainly composed of fruit trees is distributed from the foot of the mountain to the flat land.

It is a farmer who has been certified by the Governor of Yamanashi Prefecture for the introduction plan of the agricultural production method by integrally making soil with compost and reducing chemical fertilizers and synthetic pesticides. “Technology certification required to become an eco-farmer” “Technology related to soil preparation” (application of compost, cultivation of green manure crops, etc.) “Chemical fertilizer reduction technology" (use of organic fertilizer, local fertilizer application, etc.) “Chemical pesticide reduction technology” (Use of biological pesticides, mechanical weeding, etc.) It is necessary to introduce (or more) technologies that fall under the following three categories one by one. The ultimate is the rigor of post-harvest sorting, size, color, shape, and sugar content conditions. It is also known for having a higher pass line than any other fruit sorting facility. A very high selection of “Kasugai peaches” was selected using a state-of-the-art sugar content sensor to select high-quality and high-concentration peaches. It has a very sweet taste and a mellow aroma. The products introduced this time are worthwhile in a short period from mid-July to late July, and have a sugar content of 13.5 degrees or higher.

Sekijo Town was born in August 1956 through the merger of Sekimoto town (Shichirobei Nishimura Pear), Kawachi village, and Kurogo village. Named after Located in the northwestern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, west of Mt. Shiho(Tsukuba, a famous mountain with an altitude of 877 m, which consists of two peaks of Mt. Nantai and Mt. Nyotai, towering over the Kanto Plain. It has long been revered as "Fuji in the west, Tsukuba in the east" because the mountain surface changes its expression from indigo in the morning to green in the afternoon and purple in the evening.)Tsukuba, it borders Akeno Town across the Kogai River to the east, Yuki City to the west across the Kinugawa River, Shimotsuma City to the south, and Shimodate City to the north. It is located within 70 km from the capital Tokyo and 50 km from the prefectural capital Mito. In general, rural areas have a large proportion of land used for agriculture and forestry, have a low population density, and have a rich secondary natural environment through agriculture and forestry, as well as public goods such as land and water. Areas with natural resources. The characteristics of rural areas are that in order to stably maintain the basic conditions for agricultural production, priority is given to conserving local agricultural resources such as good farmland and good quality agricultural water. and rural residents use the same space multiple times, the production base and the living environment base are interrelated and function, the density of residence is lower than in the city, In addition, it can be mentioned that the land is dispersed as a unit of settlement, and that the national land is conserved and the natural environment is maintained and cultivated through appropriate agricultural and forestry activities). The Kanto Railway Joso Line runs alongside Route 294, which runs through the east of the town, and Kurogo Station is located in the Kurogo district in the east of the town. A fertile paddy field opens up in the basin of the Kogai River, which flows southward in the eastern part, and vast fields and paddy fields are formed in the basin of the Kinugawa River, which flows southward in the western part. The climate is relatively warm, and it seems to be blessed with natural conditions. According to "Chiyokawa Village Life History", Itabashi Fortress was located 900m east of the former Sekijo town hall. However, the details are unknown. There are bamboo groves around here, but it may be just a legend. The history of the lord of the castle is also unknown. Ichiban Palace (Seki palace, Sekijo town) is said to have once stood on a plateau with the Seki Palace Industrial Park, about 900 meters northwest of Seki Castle. The edge of the plateau on the west side, with left and right sides in the north and south direction, is a suitable place to run a castle. However, the details and intent are unknown. Inoue Castle (Sekijo Town Inoue) is located 900 meters northwest of kurogo station on the Kanto Railway Joso Line. If you go west from the intersection of Inoue on Prefectural Route 357, there is an Inari shrine 400 m beyond the railroad tracks. The surrounding area is farmland, but there is not much difference in height from the surrounding area, and it cannot be said that it is a castle ruins-like topography. Traces of an embankment can also be seen in the fields to the south of Inari Shrine, but it is not clear whether they are castle remains. In addition, it seems that there are some parts of the farmland that are forested.

Seki Castle was built during the period of the Northern and Southern Courts, and is counted as one of the Six Kanto Castles of the Southern Court along with Makabe Castle and Taiho Castle. Tomoyasu, the 4th son of Tomohiro Yuki, the 2nd head of the Yuki clan, built the castle under the name Seki. 1343, Morofuyu Ko of the Northern Court (Unknown-1351: In fact, Moroyuki's son and Moronao's cousin (later Moronao's adopted son (adoptive son without inheritance)). A Japanese manga of the work. Serialized in Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump" from No. 8 in 2021. The Kamakura Shogunate was destroyed by Takauji Ashikaga's rebellion, and the Hojo family's relatives were all killed. The only surviving 8-year-old A young boy, Tokiyuki HOJO, is rescued by Yorishige Suwa, a priest of Shinano province, and hides himself in the Suwa territory...), Takauji goes to war to hunt down the remnants of the Kamakura shogunate that occupied Kamakura, and the real Morofuyu is also his adoptive father. For Morofuyu, the pursuit and killing of the remnants of the Kamakura Shogunate was a memorable first battle, but during the confrontation with the remnants of the Kamakura shogunate, he had some kind of accident, partly because he did not have the qualifications to be a military commander, and was hit by a warhorse. Munesuke SEKI (unknown - 1353) and his son Munemasa, along with Chikafusa Kitabatake and others, besieged the castle, but it fell on November 11, and Munesuke and his son were killed in action. During this battle, Chikafusa is said to have sent Chikatomo Yuki (the first head of the Komine clan) of Shirakawa Castle, "Kanjosho", which was translated into "Honchotsukan" (edited by the Edo Shogunate) in the Edo period. Completed in 1670. Total of 326 volumes. The author is Razan Hayashi) and "Great Japanese history", and it is also known that it influenced the later thought of reverence for the emperor. Currently, the castle ruins are designated as a national historic site, and in addition to earthworks and moats, traces of tunnels can be seen. There is also a Hokyointo pagoda(Memorial pagoda containing Hokyo Indharani (spell)), which is said to be the grave of Sosuke and his son, and it seems that local people hold a graveyard ceremony on the day of the fall of the castle as the anniversary of his death.

【Major features】
The JA Kita-Tsukuba Pear Sorting Plant will be newly established in 2022, and an internal quality inspection device (optical sensor) that can measure sugar content, fruit, browning, etc. will be newly introduced. The pears are sorted and boxed in the sorting room, and the pears are shipped under strict quality control. Although it is one of the best red pear production areas in the prefecture, Ibaraki Prefecture boasts the third largest production of pears in Japan. Chikusei City, which is under the jurisdiction of JA Kita-Tsukuba, is one of the oldest pear-producing areas in Japan, and it is said that Shichirobe Nishimura opened a pear orchard (pears from Sekijo, Makabe County (now Chikusei City) are one of the oldest pear-producing areas in Japan). It has a history of pear cultivation since 1857. Various varieties of red pears are cultivated, from wase varieties to late maturing varieties, taking advantage of the climate, which has a large temperature difference between day and night, abundant water, and fertile soil belonging to the Kanto loam layer. At the newly established JA Kita-Tsukuba Pear Sorting Plant, the JA Kita-Tsukuba Pear Sorting Plant Subcommittee was established to cultivate and ship pears under a new system. There are 76 members in the subcommittee, and from July to October, seven varieties of Kosui, Hosui, Keisui, Akizuki, Niitaka, Nikkori, and Kanta will be cultivated while relaying. In addition, the JA Kita-Tsukuba Pear Sorting Plant, which sorts pears produced by the subcommittee, was newly established and has been in operation since July. In the fruit sorting room, a sorting room is installed to prevent contamination from outside dust and foreign matter such as dust, and fruit sorting and boxing are performed in a clean environment. An internal quality inspection device was introduced for sorting, making it possible to measure even the internal quality that is difficult to determine from the outside. In addition, only pears that meet shipping standards unified by the prefecture and subcommittee are brought in by producers. In order to reduce the burden on the staff who lift thousands of heavy containers of pears a day and improve work efficiency, a hand crane is used to place the pears on rails, and sorting begins indoors. The staff visually checks each one for scratches and abrasions that cannot be detected by machines. Only those that pass the visual inspection pass through the internal quality inspection device and the fruit sorting machine to determine the grade. The internal quality inspection device instantly measures the sugar content, fruit and browning, etc., and the fruit sorting machine measures the size and shape instantly. The sorted pears are sorted into rank-based lanes, and the staff carefully packs them into boxes by hand. After being automatically packed by a packing machine, it is shipped to the Keihin market and lined up at mass retailers nationwide. It takes less than 5 minutes for a series of work from sorting to packing. From 2022, it will be a cardboard box with a new design and will be labeled as "JA Kita Tsukuba Pear Sorting Plant". I've heard that they ship about 4,500 boxes a day at peak times. Chikusei City and Sakuragawa City, which are under the jurisdiction of JA, are one of the leading production areas in Japan. In an average year, planting work begins in late November, and fruit setting is progressing favorably due to the amount of sunshine. In addition, due to the difference in temperature between daytime and nighttime, which is considered to be favorable conditions for growth, the sugar content is high and crispness is sufficient, resulting in a good quality small ball watermelon. The Kodama watermelons that were shipped were harvested by Toshiyuki Nagura (Chairman of the same section) and Kiichiro Nishimura of the JA Kodama Watermelon Section, and they are especially wonderful. The subcommittee has 147 producers in both cities growing about 60 hectares. It is mainly grown in a greenhouse that does not use heating in winter, and mainly ships the variety "Sweet Kids", which is characterized by a high sugar content and a crispness similar to large ball watermelons. Strict grading standards are established, and before shipping, JA staff conduct trial divisions, and only watermelons that meet the conditions such as sugar content, taste, shape, etc. are sold mainly in the Keihin market under the brand name of "Beni no Yuwaku". The watermelon, which is thoroughly sorted and sorted, is highly evaluated by the market and consumers. Every year, during the Kodama watermelon season, many shoppers from inside and outside the prefecture visit JA's farmer's market in search of small ball watermelons. "Small ball watermelon" is smaller than a large ball watermelon, but has a strong sweetness and crispness. It's about the size of a handball and fits right in your home refrigerator. It is a different variety from the large ball because the fruit is packed to the edge of the skin. Within the prefecture, Chikusei City and Sakuragawa City, both of which are under JA Kita-Tsukuba jurisdiction, are the leading production areas in Japan. Shipments begin in March, and producers are busy heading into the peak season in June. According to JA Kita Tsukuba, 147 producers in the two cities will plant about 60 hectares in 2020. Cultivation was done in an agricultural greenhouse, where the temperature was controlled every day. JA Kita-Tsukuba Kyowa Vegetable Collection and Shipping Center and Akeno Vegetable Collection and Shipping Center in Chikusei City have begun shipping small ball watermelons. The city of Chikusei and the city of Sakuragawa, both of which are under the jurisdiction of the JA, are among the leading production areas in Japan. In 2022, planting work began in late November, and although there were some difficulties in cultivation management due to the effects of low temperatures and dryness, maturity was good due to the amount of sunlight. Due to the difference in temperature between daytime and nighttime, which is considered to be favorable conditions for growth, the sugar content is high and crispness is sufficient, resulting in a high-quality Kodama watermelon. The shipped small ball watermelons were harvested by Mr. Koichi Iizumi of JA Kita Tsukuba small ball Watermelon Group. Together, the three of us shipped 296 cases (8 kg per case) to the Keihin market in one day. In the same group, 142 producers in both cities cultivate about 61 hectares. Greenhouse cultivation without heating in winter is the mainstream, and we mainly ship the variety "Sweet Kids Watermelon", which is characterized by high sugar content and crispness similar to large ball watermelons. Before shipment, JA staff will test and divide only the watermelons that meet the conditions such as sugar content, taste, shape, etc. "Beni's Temptation (J-PlatPat, (111) registration number: No. 4524579 (151) Registration date: November 22, 2001 (450) Publication date: December 25, 2001 (441) Publication date: March 8, 2001 (210) Application number: Commercial application 2001-11786 (220) Date: February 14, 2001.

In fiscal 2022, we expect to ship about 370,000 tons and aim for sales of 1.1 billion yen. Shipments peak in early June and continue until mid-July. Around the age of 25, Mr. Iizumi took over the cultivation that his parents had started, using 28 plastic greenhouses (approximately 70 ares) to produce the cultivar Sweet Kids Watermelon. Seedlings were planted in early December 2022 and pollinated by hand from mid-January. If the temperature difference between day and night is large, the sugar content increases. It was cold this year, but there was a lot of sunshine, and it seems that the result is good. According to JA Kita-Tsukuba, shipments will begin in both cities on the 2nd and will reach its peak in June. The retail price is about 6,000 yen per box for 5 to 6 pieces (8 kg). Last year, 143 producers in both cities cultivated a total of about 60 hectares, sold about 370,000 boxes, and total sales reached about 1.04 billion yen. Small ball watermelon is characterized by a high sugar content of 12-13% and a thin skin, and the texture is crunchy and pleasant. Because it is the size of a handball, it is easy to put the whole thing in the refrigerator. The peak shipping season is from late April to June. Ibaraki is one of the leading producers of Kodama watermelons in Japan. A stone monument standing on the JA site says that trial production began in 1957. It was an area where large ball watermelon cultivation was popular, but as a result of seeking crops with a higher unit price in greenhouse cultivation, we ended up with small ball watermelons. By the way, it seems that JA staff say that "Kodama'' is not "small ball'', but is associated with the Shinkansen "Kodama'', which was about to start commercial operation at the time. According to Sweet Kids Watermelon (Hagihara Farm Co., Ltd.), the characteristics are a little strong, but it is excellent in fruiting because female flowers grow well and pollen is well produced even in low temperatures. It has a particularly good taste and a crunchy texture similar to that of a large ball. The flesh is firm with high sugar content, and the flesh is bright red. The pericarp is thin at around 2 mm, but it is hard and has few physiological cracks during cultivation, and can withstand transportation. It seems that the vine keeps after the second fruit, and it has good fruit setting and high yield. Cucumber cultivation at JA Kita Tsukuba began in the mid-1955s. At that time, in order to maintain the soil temperature in a simple steel-frame greenhouse, a stepping floor was made mainly of rice straw and rice bran, and it seems that plants were planted where heat was generated. After that, from around 1968, warmed cultivation and grafting cultivation in greenhouses were introduced, and it seems that the area was expanded by improving cultivation techniques. Currently, we are shipping all year round mainly for forcing cultivation and restraint cultivation, but we hear that the most shipments are from March to May. On the cultivation side, with the aim of creating healthy soil, organic matter such as compost is added, and soil diagnosis is carried out on all fields before planting. It seems that there is In terms of cultivation management, we have introduced a hydroponic cultivation system. This system does not require special soil or facilities, and automatically performs irrigation and fertilization work, enabling thorough management and reducing the amount of fertilizer used compared to conventional soil cultivation methods. In addition, daily management work is reduced, and there is no need to add fertilizers or soil conditioners when planting, so it seems that labor is reduced. In addition, since the crops absorb water and fertilizer efficiently, they are less likely to be stressed, which can be expected to increase yields and improve quality for producers. In terms of pest control, measures are taken to prevent the invasion of pests from outside the greenhouse, and natural enemy materials such as Amblyseius swirskii are released to reduce the number of times pesticides are used so as not to increase the density of pests. Apparently. In addition, all producers have been certified as environmentally friendly farmers by Ibaraki Prefecture, and it seems that they are working on environmentally friendly agriculture for the eternity of the future. According to history, it is said that Fujiwara no HIDESATO built Isa Castle in 938-947 due to the turbulence of Taira no MASAKADO. In the Middle Ages, the clan Isa dominated the area around Chikusei City. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Mr. Isa, who was on the Southern Court side, was attacked by the Northern Court side, and there is a legend that he escaped to Oshu when the main castles, Daiho Castle and Seki Castle, fell. From 1478, Katsuuji MIZUNOYA((The year of birth is unknown, and it is said to be the son of Tokiuji Isenokami MIZUNOYA. During the Eikyo turbulence that occurred in 1437, he was given to the Kanto Koga kubo Mochiuji ASHIKAGA together with his master, Mr. Yuki, and was defeated by the Shogunate army. Protected him until the end and killed him at Yuki Castle.)became the lord of the Shimodate and built the Shimodate Castle. Incorporating the idea of Feng Shui into the castle town, Dewasanzan (Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture) has five key points, including the demon gate, wind gate, sick gate, and Tenmon. Haguro Daigongen(It is watched as a god of Shinto and Buddhism based on the mountain worship and Shugendo of Mt. Haguro in Dewa Province. Based on the theory of Honji Suijaku, the Holy Kannon Bodhisattva was regarded as the Honji Suijaku god who appeared in the form of "Right" as the Honji Buddha.)was solicited and made a spiritual cornerstone. Mr. MIZUNOYA was working hard as a vassal of Mr. Yuki, but became independent, survived the Warring States period while being a small lord, and was relieved of 31,000 koku of rice (later about 50,000 koku) under the HIDEYOSHI administration and established the Shimodate domain. After that, Kiyokata UESUGI in the Kanto region searched for Tokiuji-Ko's orphan in order to revive Mizunoya, and it is said that Katsuuji was found. He was given 12 Naganuma hometown and 33 Isa hometown for his efforts to revive the Yuki clan as a senior vassal. In 1478, he founded Yakushido, and in 1481, he invited Buddhist priest “良室榮欣” (priest of Yuki Jokokuji V). The temple name was changed to "Jorinji(曹洞宗; 岡芹町)" after the opening of the mountain and Katsuuji(定林寺殿玉叟了圓大居士). In 1481, it was protected as a successive Bodhisattva temple, and the Mizunoya family donated 150 koku of the temple territory and built Dou. The bronze bell donated by KATSUTOSHI MIZUNOYA in 1567 (Muromachi period work, 4 cases of 4 steps of milk, total height 89 cm, diameter 49 cm) remains and was designated as an important cultural property designated by Ibaraki Prefecture in 1963. Many Dou, temple treasures, and records were destroyed by fire in 1880, but they were later rebuilt.)In the same year, the Haguro Daigongen of Dewasanzan (Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture) was solicited to establish the Kamihaguro Shrine and the Shimohaguro Shrine. When MIZUNOYA Family transferred to Bichu Nariwa in 1639, it seems that the feudal lord changed to Matsudaira, Masuyama, Inoue, and Kuroda in a relatively short period of time. When Fusashige ISHIKAWA became the feudal lord with 20,000 koku of rice in 1732, the Ishikawa family celebrated the Meiji Restoration for nine consecutive generations. In addition, Shimodate, Chikusei City, which is a castle, has been economically developed as a post town on the Yuki Highway, where many supplies have been brought in and it has become a collection place for “cotton,” which is a special product. Shimodate City, 旧真壁郡; Sekijo Town, Akeno Town, and Kyowa Town merged to form March 28, 2005. It is located in the western part of the prefecture, about 70 km north of Tokyo, about 15 km east-west, about 20 km north-south, and has an area of 205.3 km2. Adjacent to Shimotsuma City and Tsukuba City, which includes Japan's leading science and technology center city “Tsukuba”, to the east is Sakuragawa City, to the west is Yuki City, Yachiyo Town and Oyama City, Tochigi Prefecture, and to the north is Moka, Tochigi Prefecture. Adjacent to the city. The terrain is generally flat, and the Kinugawa and Kokaigawa rivers flow from north to south, forming a fertile countryside. The altitude is about 20 m to 60 m, and in the north there is a hilly area that connects to a part of the Abukuma mountain range, and the altitude is about 200 m. The climate is Pacific, mild and refreshing throughout the four seasons. As for the road system, National Road No. 50 is developed in the east-west direction and National Road No. 294 is developed in the north-south direction, and the intersection of these two lines becomes the center of the city. Furthermore, prefectural roads will be radiated from here to Ishioka City, Tsukuba City, and Koga City. The JR Mito Line runs from east to west, and the Moka Railway Moka Line runs from Shimodate Station to Toride in the south and Motegi(Not Motogi, Itako City, but different reading)in the north. 下館祇園まつり : One of the best summer festivals in Ibaraki prefecture, which is held over four days around Haguro Shrine and Shimodate Station.

Tsukubano, which is blessed with vast plains and water, is a treasure trove of fresh taste, where the blessings of the earth and the warmth of human hands come to fruition. As one of the best rice fields in the Kanto region, the vast plains at the foot of Mt. Tsukuba and several first-class rivers flow through the city. In addition, it is blessed with abundant land and water, and is famous as one of the leading rice fields in the prefecture. Its production and shipment are among the highest in the prefecture, and it is cultivated mainly in Koshihikari. In addition, rice crackers using rice, brewed products, miso, soy sauce, etc. have been handed down to the present day, following the old-fashioned manufacturing method. Due to the recent natural orientation, it has become popular and has taken root in the streets. In addition, there are many long-established confectioneries loved by literati in the Shimodate district, which prospered as the center of commerce and culture in the area. The city is also widely known as a large production area for red pears, which boasts one of the largest acreages in Japan. Due to pesticide-reduced cultivation, strict fruit selection, and traditional cultivation techniques, its beauty is outstandingly designated as a brand production area in the prefecture. The main varieties are the popular varieties of “Kosui Pear” and “Hosui Pear” and the large “Niitaka Pear”, which are in season from summer to autumn. Recently, it is also focusing on the production of “Akizuki Pear” and “Keisui Pear; Ibaraki's first original variety produced by the prefecture over 17 years. It is a hybrid of Shinsetsu and Chikusui pear, and has a sugar content of about 13 degrees, a strong sweetness, and a moderately refreshing acidity”. Ibaraki Prefecture has a history of pear cultivation since the Edo period and is one of the oldest pear producing areas in Japan. July 4th is “Nashi Pear Day”, pears in Ibaraki Prefecture start in July. Pear production is the second largest in Japan. The climate with a large temperature difference between day and night, abundant water, and blessed soil are suitable for pear cultivation. In the prefecture, it is produced mainly in Chikusei City, Shimotsuma City, Kasumigaura City, Ishioka City, and Yachiyo Town. The climate with a large temperature difference between day and night, abundant water, and blessed soil are suitable for pear cultivation. In the prefecture, it is produced mainly in Chikusei City, Shimotsuma City, Kasumigaura City, Ishioka City, and Yachiyo Town.

Chikusei City forms the largest pear producing area in the prefecture. The history of pear cultivation in the area is old, and cultivation began in 1857 in the former Sekijo Town and in 1860 in the former Shimodate City. Former Shimodate City was designated as a fruit and vegetable brand production area in the prefecture in 1985, and Sekijo Town was designated in 1991. In June 2022, Nippon Electrolytic Co., Ltd. (a manufacturer specializing in electrolytic copper foil, whose main business is the development, manufacture and sale of electrolytic copper foil for in-vehicle batteries and copper foil for circuit boards such as 5G, was founded in 1958. Since then, it has manufactured electrolytic copper foil for printed circuit boards and seems to have grown along with the development of the electronics industry. The company's electrolytic copper foil has excellent quality due to its unique electrolytic technology and surface treatment technology, and its performance is high. It has won high praise in the industry. For example, high-density mounting technology that realizes miniaturization and high performance of mobile devices such as smartphones, and for electric vehicles (EV), hybrid vehicles (HEV) and stationary vehicles. Lithium-ion secondary batteries that contribute to higher performance of electricity storage. These are supported by electrolytic copper foil that meets various needs. This is the copper layer of the copper-clad laminate that forms the conductor pattern of the printed circuit board. The thin copper sheet used in the circuit board, which is manufactured using the principle of "electroplating"), seems to double the sales of high-end products of electrolytic copper foil for circuits within a few years. Strengthen sales outside Japan by leveraging the customer base of Denkai America, a US subsidiary, with domestic surface treatment capacity. At the head office factory (Chikusei City, Ibaraki Prefecture) of the production base, surface treatment equipment for high-end products will be strengthened. It plans to develop high-end markets such as the 5th generation communication standard (5G) and high-density wiring board (HDI) markets, which are growth fields, and raise profitability. On June 2, 2020, the JA Kita-Tsukuba small ball watermelon subcommittee distributed 10 cases (about 50 cases) of the specialty small ball watermelon "Sweet Kids" to medical staff at the Sakuragawa Regional Medical Center in Takamori, Sakuragawa City.


The JA Kita-Tsukuba small ball watermelon section is working together to strengthen the brand by stabilizing production volume and improving quality. In March 2019, in recognition of his efforts and achievements so far, he was awarded a special prize in the 48th Japan Agricultural Prize for Group Organization. In addition, the 24th summer term was established as "small ball watermelon day", and on February 13, 2017, it was officially recorded by the Japan Anniversary Association. The small ball watermelons cultivated in the jurisdiction are tested by JA staff before shipment and tested for taste and sugar content in each field. Allowed to be shipped. Boasting a history of more than 50 years as a production area, it is now one of the leading production areas in Japan, thanks to the fact that the temperature difference between night and day is suitable for echo watermelon cultivation.


The JA Kita-Tsukuba small ball watermelon section won a special prize in the 48th Japan Agricultural Award for Group Organization in recognition of its contribution to the development of the local community through efforts to improve farm management and technology. The subcommittee is working together to promote stable production of Kodama watermelon and to strengthen the brand. The JA, which faces Mt. Tsukuba to the southeast and is located almost in the center of the Kanto Plain, is a vast rural area that spans the three cities of Chikusei, Sakuragawa, and Yuki in Ibaraki Prefecture, and an abundant amount of water due to the first-class river that flows through the jurisdiction. Proud of It also seems to be a region that is actively working on changing agricultural policies to support the bearers of agriculture.


By setting up a production technology committee within the subcommittee, repeating tests, and sharing information on successful cases, it seems that the quality of the subcommittee as a whole is improving. Regarding the cultivation of new varieties with successful examples, the entire subcommittee worked together to strengthen the production area brand. Every year around the end of December, the soil temperature in the greenhouse is measured, and when the soil temperature exceeds 17 degrees, the Kodama watermelon is planted. The subcommittee promotes non-heated cultivation and believes that the sweetness can be enhanced by using the natural temperature difference, so we pay close attention to the outside air, the room temperature inside the greenhouse, and the soil temperature.
