A wide waterway with a hot water channel function to avoid new construction, renovation, and cold water problems is constructed, and a promenade is constructed along the waterway. Sagae-style agriculture that combines facility agriculture and tourism. Sagae River downstream agricultural irrigation project: Construction period: 1996-2005. Sagae River Irrigation (Ninoseki (more than 600 years ago, when the lord of Sagae Castle, Oe-shi, renovated the castle, a large amount of water was needed for the moat, so it was dug from the right bank of the Sagae River), Takamatsu Weir (excavated in the Kamakura period, and later, to solve the water shortage in the area, Togoro Kikuchi of Ameike Village and others completed a new weir with a total length of 8000m from around 1609, using their outstanding surveying skills.

The Sagae Festival, which is held in mid-September every year, is an event with history and tradition as an annual festival of Sagae Hachimangu Shrine. "Sagae Hachimangu Yabusame", which is designated as an intangible folk cultural property of Yamagata Prefecture, is held as a brave Shinto ritual that inherits the tradition of Kamakura samurai. It boasts one of the largest scales in the Tohoku region, where we love and worship our ancestors. Formulation of the 1st Sagae City Sixth Industrialization Strategy: Overview, Definition of Sixth Industrialization and Purpose of Concept: Sixth industrialization of agriculture, forestry and fisheries consists of agriculture, forestry and fisheries as primary industry and secondary industry. This is an initiative to create new added value that utilizes the rich local resources of rural areas by promoting comprehensive and integrated promotion of the manufacturing industry as a tertiary industry and the retail industry as a tertiary industry. It seems that this will aim to improve income and secure employment in rural areas. Sagae City is located almost in the center of Yamagata Prefecture, west of the Yamagata Basin surrounded by flowing mountains such as Mt. Yamagata Prefecture's "mother river Mogami River" and "clear stream Sagae River" flow as if to wrap the urban area, and the fertile soil and basin-like climate. The quality of all agricultural, forestry and fishery products such as rice, vegetables and fruit trees is highly evaluated both inside and outside the city. However, with the declining birthrate, aging population, and declining population, there are many issues that are urgently required by those involved in the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries industries, such as responding to changes in consumer needs due to changes in the social environment. In order to solve these problems, Sagae City has formulated the "First Sagae City Sixth Industrialization Strategy" and supports the efforts of the sixth industrialization to deepen the cooperation of each industry by making use of the characteristics of the region. The aim is to create a society that will create an attractive industry that will lead to the settlement of young people while working to increase income and promote employment. This strategy aims to “create new businesses by farmers, foresters and fishermen using local resources, and promote local agriculture and forestry. Act on the Promotion of Utilization of Marine Products (Act No. 67 of 2010, "Sixth Industrialization and Local Production for Local Consumption Act"), Article 35. And it seems to be positioned as an embodiment of the measures in the field related to the sixth industrialization shown in the "Sagae Future Creation Strategy 2020". The planning period is five years from 2021 to 2025, and the target year seems to be 2025. In addition, in the final year, the results will be verified and the content of the next strategy will be considered. Promotion and management method: Regarding numerical targets, it seems that the "Sagae Brand and Attractiveness Promotion Council" will grasp and evaluate the achievement status every year according to his PDCA(Plan⇛ Do⇛ Check⇛ Ac)cycle, and will revise it as necessary. City Overview: Topography, Location, Population Sagae City is located in the center of Yamagata Prefecture, at the western end of the Murayama Basin. The city borders Tendo City, Murayama City, and Kahoku Town in Nishimurayama County to the east, Oe Town and Nishikawa Town to the west, Okura Village in Mogami County bordering on Hayama, which is connected to Dewa Hills, to the north, and the Mogami River to the south. Adjacent to Nakayama town. In 1954, 2 towns and 5 villages were merged to become the current Sagae City. After the merger, the population continued to decline due to an outflow of population to the city, reaching a negative peak in 1970. After that, it seems to have been increasing year by year, but in recent years, it seems to be in a downward trend again. In addition, because it is a basin located almost in the center of the prefecture, it exhibits the characteristics of an inland climate. big. The annual rainfall is about 1,365 mm, and it is mostly in the winter period from July to August. The amount of snow has been decreasing in recent years, and it is about 30 cm in urban areas, and there are places where it exceeds 1 m in the hilly and mountainous areas in the northwest of the city. As a social condition, urban functions have been accumulated as a core city in the Nishimurayama region. As traffic conditions National Route 112, which connects Yamagata City, the prefectural capital, and the Shonai region on the Sea of Japan side, passes through the city. Cross, In addition, this prefecture's first. The Tohoku Transect Expressway Sakata Line, which is an expressway, opened from Murata JCT to Sakata as a general national highway parallel to some expressways, and as a key point of transportation, distribution of agricultural products, etc. corresponding to the high-speed traffic era. It seems to be a base. As for railways, the JR Aterazawa Line connects Yamagata City and Oe Town, and plays an important role as a wide-area public transportation system that connects people to work and school in neighboring municipalities and the Tokyo metropolitan area. There are 4 major local roads and 11 general prefectural roads that connect the main villages in the city and play an important role as arterial roads for industry and daily life. Due to these geographical conditions, many companies have moved into the area, and the Sagae Central Industrial Park has formed one of the prefecture's leading industrial parks, covering approximately 175 ha. In addition, it is a scenic area surrounded by beautiful mountains such as Mt. Gassan, Mt. Hayama, and Mt. Zao, and has historical and cultural sites such as the famous Jionji Temple, which is said to have been founded in 746 AD and was designated as a national historic site in October 2014 rich in heritage. In addition to holding events that make use of seasonal tourism resources, the number of tourists who also enjoy farming experiences throughout the year, such as picking cherries, has increased, expanding interaction with the city. In this way, it plays a major role in the industrial and tourism fields of Yamagata Prefecture, and has become a core city in the inland area of the prefecture. "Silverbell Pear" is a pear born in Yamagata and is popular with men and women of all ages. In 1957, La France’s natural hybrid seedlings were selected and raised at the Yamagata Prefectural Horticultural Experiment Station. It is a large ball that weighs about 450 g per ball, and it seems that some of the larger ones weigh more than 700 g. The flesh is dense and juicy, and you can enjoy the texture peculiar to the soft pear similar to La France Pear, and it seems to dance. In addition, it has a good balance of sweetness and acidity, and has a mellow and rich taste. The beautiful bell-shaped tsurigane and the sweet scent of La France are wonderful. It seems that the fresh taste spreads if you chew. The name, which is perfect for Christmas desserts, will be a great gift. Also, Okute pears are harvested in mid-November and tend to be available in December. If you adjust the ripening period, it is an excellent product that will be ready to eat around Christmas. La France is famous for pears in Yamagata, but I heard that many people in Yamagata prefer silver bells to La France Pear. Internal quality sensor Near-infrared transmitted light method: The near-infrared transmitted light measurement unit irradiates each fruit with light, analyzes the light transmitted inside the fruit, and measures sugar content, acidity, internal damage, etc. It seems that stable measurement is always possible with the automatic calibration function. The range of functions varies depending on the machine, but there are 6 items such as “sugar content”, “acidity”, “ripeness”, “internal damage”, “size”, and “color / appearance”. Transmission type optical sensor: Highly accurate detection of information on the entire inside of the fruit, such as sugar content and ripeness. It also measures internal disorders such as water fruits and browning. In addition, the size is selected by measuring from the side. The size of the fruit is measured using a photoelectric size sensor. It is a variety that was cultivated by selecting natural hybrid seedlings from "La France Pear" at the Yamagata Prefectural Horticultural Experiment Station in 1957. The fruit weighs 400-500 g and the skin has a yellowish green background with many rust-like fruit spots. It turns yellow during the edible period, and it seems that the edible period can be easily determined. It has a high sugar content, acidity and flavor, and is well-balanced. Pre-cooled, ripened and edible season is from mid-November to mid-January of the following year. It is about 1.5 times larger than "La France Pear" and has a slightly strong acidity. In addition, the pericarp is yellowish green, giving the impression that it becomes yellowish when fully ripe. It’s time to eat when the skin turns yellow and the surface is soft enough to be pressed with your fingers. It has a rich sweetness and moderate acidity, and the rich flavor spreads throughout the mouth, breaking the smile. If it is hard, ripening is good. An example is to put it in a paper bag and store it in a room with a room temperature of around 20 degrees Celsius. In Yamagata Prefecture, in addition to the new corona, in order to support the business continuity of businesses affected by soaring crude oil and raw material prices and prices, it seems that the prefecture's own benefits (second round) are being applied for. In 1984, I miss the establishment of the Sagae City Anniversary Tourism and Agriculture Promotion Council, in which not only agricultural cooperatives, Sagae City, and farmers, but also all kinds of tourism-related businesses, such as hot spring inns, railway and bus companies, and restaurants, participate. Green tourism was first advocated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in 1992, but Sagae began working much earlier. In addition, in Europe, the birthplace of green tourism, as part of their lifestyle, they use the long vacation system to go to farming villages and spend a refreshing vacation through interaction with nature and local people. The term green tourism has long been used to mean “domestic tourism in rural areas”. It is called "rural tourism" or "green tourism" in the UK, and "tourism veil" (green travel) in France. In addition, the promotion of green tourism not only provides urban residents with opportunities to interact with nature and local people, but it is also expected to revitalize rural areas and create new industries. From this point of view, in 1994, a law to support the promotion of green tourism, the Rural Village Leisure Law, was enacted. It is important to prepare conditions for accepting urban residents in rural areas. For this reason, the Law Concerning Promotion of Infrastructure Development for Leisure Activities in Rural Areas was enacted in 2004. After that, agriculture, forestry and fishery experience lodging operators were registered. The law was amended in June 2005 with the aim of making further use of the system, and was enacted in December 2005. Interchange programs have been created, and it seems that tourists are being accepted for educational trips. In addition, it is expected that they will be able to create jobs in the role of conveying the charm of the local area and be active with a sense of job satisfaction. However, in addition to the burden of time and money, the lack of human resources seems to be a major problem. In rural areas, where the birthrate is declining and the population is aging, it seems that there are many cases where there are no young people who can provide services. Also, even if a facility is built, it seems to be a big problem that maintenance is difficult because there is no successor. Nitta Gotan, Sagae City, Yamagata Prefecture: Marumatsu Seika Co., Ltd. provides safe and secure agricultural products such as various seasonal fruits and grains that are nurtured by the rich plateaus and nature of the Tohoku region and are carefully cultivated by honest producers. Half a century(Opened in 1955 by Matsuichi Haga, the first president)has passed since we have supplied customers all over the country with the required quantity in various places. In addition, we have earned the trust of market participants and consumers by striving daily so that each employee can fully demonstrate their individuality and abilities and play a role in connecting the production area and the consumption area with a single thread. As a company feature, we provide safety and security in cooperation with farmers. The producers have organized a shipping union, and with the motto of freshness, safety, and deliciousness, they are working to provide guidance on the use of pesticides, recommend organic fertilizers, inspect residual pesticides, and manage cultivation history. Also, it seems that he is familiar with fruits and uses them up without waste. Many fruit and vegetable dealers handle fruits in a limited range, such as for luxury gifts and processing, but Marumatsu Seika seems to handle a wide range of fruits in various fields by identifying fruits and making use of their characteristics. We are striving to convey the charm of Yamagata Prefecture to the outside of the prefecture as it is. It seems that 99% of the collected fruits are sold outside Yamagata Prefecture through our own direct sales route. The origin of the name Motodate comes from Hira-jiro Castle(南北朝期の大江(寒河江)大蔵少輔時氏), which was built at the tip of the river terrace (relative height 10 m) on the left bank of the Mogami River in the central part of the Murayama Basin. Agriculture in Sagae City is based on a combination of paddy rice and fruit trees, along with vegetables, flowers, and livestock. In particular, with the adjustment of rice production, the introduction of highly profitable horticultural crops such as fruit trees, flowers, and vegetables and the establishment of facilities for these has progressed. Show us and support us from the foundation of Japan's primary industry. Cultivation of cherries in Sagae City began in 1876 when it was first introduced to Japan, and it seems that the climate and soil conditions suitable for fruit cultivation have progressed. In particular, from the 1965s onwards, rice production adjustments led to increased planting in converted fields, expanding the cultivated area. Currently, it is one of the top cherries in Japan in terms of cultivated area, harvest volume, and agricultural output value, and is known worldwide as a major production area for cherries. Expanded the cultivation area of Benishuho and developed "Beni-shuho cherries no Sato Sagae". In addition, efforts are being made to introduce labor-saving and light-labor technologies such as Y-shaped tailoring based on the popularization and expansion of the new variety "Yamagata Benio Cherry" and the progress of aging. Especially for vegetables that are loved by us, we are promoting the efficiency and labor saving of agricultural work by consolidating and introducing machinery on the occasion of crop rotation. It seems that they are trying to expand the production and establish brands of crops that promote local production such as long onion, green soybeans, asparagus, eggplant, basella alba, taro, and edible chrysanthemums. In addition, by incorporating tourism agriculture as a form of farm management, they are working to reduce distribution costs and the labor required for harvesting work, as well as to revitalize the region through interaction with urban consumers. Cherry picking is the main tourist agriculture, but blueberries, grapes, apples, and snow strawberries are also being promoted for the anniversary. In 1984, the "Anniversary Tourism and Agriculture Promotion Council" was established. Opened in 1992, a general information center for fruit picking has been set up inside the Cherry Land Cherry Hall. Since 2012, a farm reservation site has been opened on the Internet, and it seems that after making a reservation, it is possible to directly enter each park for fruit picking that can be enjoyed by children, men and women of all ages. “Sagae City, Yamagata Prefecture”, It is located in the center of the prefecture, within 20 km from Yamagata City. Developed as the core of the Nishimurayama area, the city is dotted with National Route 112, which connects the Shonai Region and the prefectural capital. It crosses the center of Yamagata prefecture and connects the Shonai region and Miyagi prefecture-Yamagata Expressway. The jurisdiction is located almost in the center of Yamagata prefecture. The area where the Mogami River, Sagae River, Asahi River, and Tukinuno River, which originate from the Dewa Hills, flow through. Sagae(It is famous as the best cherry producing area in the prefecture. It is characterized by an inland climate, with large temperature differences between summer and winter and day and night. Rainfall is relatively low in the prefecture, but the snowfall situation in the mountains and plains is significantly different. As the village of the best cherry in Japan, we practice town development that sticks to the specialty cherry and make a great contribution to the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industry. In addition, by using the ground work method, we will hold familiar parks and events by creating a town with the participation of residents. It is famous as a city that is well-balanced with commerce, industry, agriculture, and tourism. Promote “Town development colored with flowers, greenery, and murmuring”. Moisture and peace that are not found in big cities, a comfortable lifestyle can be established, and a land pattern that you will never get tired of. Airport, bullet train, highway and transportation access are also convenient and comfortable. Special products are fruits such as strawberry, grape and blueberry, roses, cherry confectionery, hand-dyed carp streamer, cherry wine and sake. The Shiraiwa district prospered as a post town for Mt. Dewasanzan travelers. During the Edo period, Jionji-Temple(East Asian Yogācāra: Hosso sect)received a red stamp of 2,812 stones from the shogunate and had the largest temple territory in Tohoku. 島島東 - 親兵衛稲荷の松; A city-designated memorial on June 5, 2020. Export of Cherry-Domestic cool transportation from Sagae City to Fukuoka. 2018 to Taipei, Taiwan and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Use a coolant to solve the humidity and temperature problems from the previous year. “Oe Town, Nishimurayama District”, Located in the western part of the Murayama Plain, almost in the center of the prefecture, the Mogami River, one of Japan's three major rapids, is formed in the east by the Asahi Mountain Range, which forms the center of Bandai Asahi National Park, and the Tsukinuno River, which connects the two. It is a town rich in nature. The climate is an inland basin type, which belongs to a snowy and cold region, and while it becomes hot and humid in the summer due to the foehn phenomenon peculiar to the basin, the snowfall period in winter extends from early December to March to April, and the amount of snowfall. It is said that it reaches 1m in the center of town and 2 to 3 m in the mountains. Since the annual temperature difference is so large, the town is rich in agricultural products, especially fruit trees and mountain products. The eastern region is the center of town and the place name Aterazawa; 左沢 is also known as the obfuscated place name. It forms the center of commerce and industry activities, and forms the town of water town cultivated in the history of Mogami River transport. In the central region, excellent orchard areas spread along with the rural landscape, and agricultural products such as fruit trees such as “La France Pear,” apples, and grapes, which are the special products of the town, are produced. The western region is located at the eastern foot of Bandai Asahi National Park, and is visited by many mountain enthusiasts as a mountain climbing base. Focusing on small-scale rice cultivation, it focuses on forestry, edible wild plants, mushrooms, and other complex management. Oe Town Aterazawa prospered as a river port for the Mogami River. When the transportation network of the Mogami River is improved after Edo Genroku, the cargo carried from Yonezawa by Kokai ship is transshipped at Sazawa, and it is carried by Hirata ship to Sakata, which is an important relay that is indispensable for Mogami River shipping. It was a point. Around the Domeki district on the riverside, there were boat camps, rice breweries, salt breweries, etc. of the Yonezawa domain, and licensed quarters lined up, and the bustle continued until the Taisho era. The elegant culture of Kyoto was carried from Sakata along the flow of the Mogami River, and many boating cultures such as festival cars and dolls displayed at Girls' Festival flourished. During the heyday, the city was established, people gathered, and it seemed to be a very busy commercial town. A typical long and narrow section of townhouses with a frontage of 3 one ken (about) half six feet and a depth of 20 to 30 one ken (about) six feet was formed. Currently, it is said that there are still some kurazashiki and city gods that remind us of the prosperity of the past on Haramachi-dori in the town. It is famous that this landscape was selected as the first national important cultural landscape in Yamagata Prefecture on March 27, 2013 as “Distribution and traffic of the Mogami River and Aterazawa, landscape of the town”. Mogamigawa River Sailor's Song: The Mogami River sailors were said to have been extremely risky, with long divorces from their lovers and family, fighting torrents, and enormous damage in the unlikely event of an accident. From ancient times, various boat songs have been sung among such sailors with that feeling when maneuvering. One of the three major Sailor's Songs in the world, which is a folk song that represents Yamagata Prefecture, is a collection of these various sailor songs and arranged in a contemporary style. Every year, the town holds the Mogami River Funa uta National Tournament in order to properly inherit and spread the Mogami River Funa Uta.

Around 1390, Hidenaga Nakajo(Chujo)joined the club and worked on the development of Yachi Township(The castle was built by Nagamasa Chujo during the Koji era (1555-1558), Alternatively, Shiratori juro Nagahisa built and built Yachi-honcho.)for six generations. After Nagahisa was murdered by Yoshiaki Mogami and Takamoto, a descendant of Hiromoto, was destroyed, the land was subsequently under the control of the Mogami family. After the reform of the Mogami family, it became the Tozawa clan territory in the north and the Yamagata clan territory in the south of the central part, and it has gone through many years. etc. The puddy filed was developed from early on, promoting the region centered on rice and bastard saffron(Carthamus tinctorius (Mohler, Roth, Schmidt & Boudreaux, 1967)), and directly connected to the upper culture by the mogami river. Therefore, it has left an excellent cultural heritage. Due to the inland climate and the weather conditions(Unique to basins with large temperature differences)of the Mogami River, which is said to be optimal for safflower cultivation, safflower has been actively cultivated since the Muromachi period. From the Edo Period to the early Meiji period, it prospered as a safflower distribution center by the Mogami River. The harvested safflower descended the Mogami River to Sakata, where it was once reloaded for western-route shipping, crossed the Sea of Japan, and landed in Tsuruga. In addition, it was sent to Kyoto and Osaka via Biwa Lake and Yodo River, and made the fame of Mogami safflower known throughout the country.

Located in the center of the prefecture, 32 km west of Yamagata City. It is surrounded by the Asahi mountain range in Bandai-asahi National Park, Mt. Gassan and its tributaries. 95% of the total area is occupied by mountains, and the flat land extends slightly along the Sagae River and its tributaries that flow through the town. The habitable area is only 12.57 km (3.2%), and it is one of the prefecture's most heavy snowfall areas, with more than 5 m of snow in many areas. At Mt. Gassan, which is also a symbol of the town, you can enjoy skiing in the spring and summer. Every year from early April to late July, it is crowded with about 150,000 skiers and snowboarders. Improvement of water source area, further strengthening normal standards-Water source town. Establishment of water pollution prevention standards(Water Pollution Prevention Act, 昭和四十五年, 十二月二十五日, 法律第百三十八号, Act No. 138 of December 25,1970)and Natural environmental learning: Activities such as enlightenment ofmaintenance has been certified as “town development that makes the most of water”. The choosed hundred famous water: The lectotype of “famous water” is that “conservation status is good” and “conservation activities by local residents” are being continued. Specialty Actinidia arguta (Sieb. Et Zucc.) Planch. Ex Miq. (Kiwi berry) variety “Hoko” : Kazuo Sato has spent more than 30 years selecting native Kiwi berry. Moreover, it seems that breeding has been continued for more than 40 years since that time. Not only nutritional values such as vitamins and minerals, but also noble aroma, mellow sweetness and abundant vitamins stand out. It looks like a small kiwi, but it's the taste of a new fruit that I've never encountered, and once I eat it, it's an unforgettable taste that I haven't eaten yet. There are excellent varieties of Green soybeans in the murayama area - ‘Hiden’. This variety tends to start harvesting late, around September 20th. Once eaten, it has an unforgettable taste and is gradually gaining popularity. It is mainly made in the Nishimurayama area centered on Kahoku Town and Sagae City. When La France pears first debuted, there was a period of struggle when they were nicknamed "Midagunasu" in the Yamagata dialect, but many people were surprised at the difference in appearance and taste once they took a bite. Today, it has become known throughout Japan as the “Queen of Fruits.” In addition, as it is also called "butter pair", the rich scent that tickles the nostrils and the mellow flesh are irresistible. It seems that pruning work that is conscious of the sun is important to grow this excellent agricultural product deliciously. It seems to be shaped like a bell so that the sunlight pouring in from the sky spreads evenly. The branches are carefully trimmed like a tree with its arms outstretched facing the sun. Nanyo City has terraced fields, so it seems that they are devising ways to match the conditions of the land. And budding and fruit picking. Among the seven flowers that bloom on one branch, the flower that gets the most sunlight is identified, and the others are removed. In order to improve the overall quality, all the farmers are certified as eco-farmers, and it seems that they go around the farm three times a year. Attendance at 70% of the seminar is required. It seems that the same fertilizer is used and the timing of spraying is also the same. They do not use herbicides, and they seem to set rules for the number of times insect repellents and pesticides are used. Also, if the rules cannot be cleared, it seems that it is obligatory to prohibit shipment. Tracing the history of La France pears, it represents the pear that was born in France in the middle of the 19th century with great expectations as a representative variety of France. It is said that the name "La France Pear" was given because of its deliciousness, which was praised as "a fruit worthy of representing Japan." It is said that Lafrance came to Japan in 1903. It is unknown whether it was introduced to Yamagata Prefecture after that, but since there are trees in Yamagata Prefecture that are about 100 years old, it is thought that it was introduced to Japan and entered Yamagata Prefecture in a short period of time because it has been over 100 years old. It seems that. In addition, in 2020, the prefecture is the number one producer of pears in Japan, accounting for more than 60% of the national production. It has a long history, and in 1864, Claude Blanche of France discovered it mysteriously and fragrantly. Yamagata Prefecture, where 'Marumatsu Seika' is located, is famous as a fruit tree kingdom where seasonal fruits such as cherries, peaches, watermelons, melons, grapes, apples, and La France are grown abundantly. We deliver abundant fresh fruits to consumers all over the country. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Export and International Affairs Bureau Intellectual Property Division, Yamagata La France pears are registered No. 99, registration date August 19, 2020, registration application number No. 194, registration Date of application, November 16, 2018 5 Name of registered producer group Yamagata Prefecture "La France Pear" Promotion Council, Address of registered producer group, Matsunami, Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture, Registered producer group Name of representative, Chairman Toshihiro Funakoshi, production area of specified agricultural, forestry and fishery products, Yamagata Prefecture, characteristics of specified agricultural, forestry and fishery products, etc. "Yamagata La France Pear" is a La France variety of Western pear cultivated in Yamagata Prefecture. be. The La France cultivar has a fine flesh, a lot of juice, and a unique aroma, and is delicious because it is thoroughly managed in the region and shipped at the appropriate time based on the cultivation management of pruning and fruit picking and the ripening period. The unique quality of the product is fully exhibited, and the variation is small. The high quality and stable supply system are highly evaluated by the market and retailers, and the market share of La France produced in Yamagata from November to January in the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market is based on sales volume and sales. Both the amount exceeds 95%, and it is indispensable as a fruit that colors autumn. Cultivation method: Pruning into a tree shape with less overlap of main branches and more branches as a result of good sunlight. In order to enlarge the fruit, thinning is carried out so that the number of fruits is less than one per flower (multiple flower clusters from one flower bud. If the fruit is not thinned, one flower will have 5 to 6 fruits). Method of shipment (shipment standard): Fruit weight of 180 g or more per piece, minor damage, and no rotten fruits. In addition, regardless of fruit weight, it seems that fruits that are not significantly damaged or rotten can be used for processing. Fruits that fully demonstrate the quality peculiar to the variety and have little variation in quality are shipped so that consumers can purchase them after the reference date set by the production area.

Funankogui, a local dish of crucian carp wrapped in kombu seaweed, is served on the 20th New Year (in the New Year's season, this day is considered to be the day of the New Year's payment or the start of work). The custom of offering remains. Like last year, there was only one stall selling live crucian carp. This market is rare even in Japan. More than 30 years ago, there were more than 10 shops, but this year there was only one. In addition, efforts to preserve the historic townscape of Hizen Hamashuku in Kashima City won the Asian Landscape Award sponsored by the United Nations Habitat Fukuoka Headquarters. It seems that the preservation and restoration of traditional buildings through industry-government-academia collaboration and the regeneration of them as tourism resources were highly evaluated. It is the first honor to receive an award in Saga Prefecture. "Yutoku Mikan" is the top brand among the "Saga Bijin" mikan, the unified brand of mandarin oranges produced in Saga Prefecture. It seems that only 1% of the mandarin oranges that pass the strict selection criteria are shipped as Yutoku mandarin oranges. “Saga Bijin” is a brand of Wenzhou mandarin oranges that the prefecture is proud of. It seems that even among the delicious unshu mandarin oranges from Saga Prefecture, only those that meet the uniform standards of the prefecture are named "Saga beauty" and shipped. The selection method is also strict, and must satisfy the high sugar content, moderate acidity, and good appearance. Products that meet these strict standards become “Saga beauty” and are sold in a wide range of areas throughout the country. In addition, the mandarin orange field is covered with pure white sheets that are waterproof and reflect the sun's rays. , a technology that limits the amount of water that the mandarin orange tree absorbs and increases the sugar content of the mandarin orange)”, so it grows into a “beautiful” mandarin orange that is sweet and has a beautiful color. Kompeito Co., Ltd. (Nishi-Gotanda, Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo) develops a stationary company cafeteria service "OFFICE DE YASAI (vegetables in the office)" in cooperation with local governments nationwide and JAs in various places, using dedicated refrigerators. We regularly hold regional special product fairs at our office.

Sampling. On the night of February 8, 2021, at Yutoku Inari Shrine in Furueda, Kashima City (former Fujitsu District), the year-end Shinto ritual "Ohitaki'' (a ritual at the end of the year that has continued for more than 300 years) will be held from sunset to night on the precincts as a night ritual of the Niiname Festival. When the "Oyama" set up in the precincts is ignited, it burns all at once, creating a flame so large that it seems to reach the main shrine. If you are hit by this sacred fire, you will be healed of illness, and you will be healed of sins and uncleanness that you have unknowingly committed. It is said that the sacred fire is used to purify and purify and pray for happiness in the coming year. As an act of gratitude for the harvest and bestowing good fortune, rice is planted at the rice planting festival and new rice harvested at the nukibo festival. Worshipers are treated to amazake made from Under the winter sky, many worshipers gathered in the precincts, and it seems that they wished for happiness in the coming year while warming themselves with the red flames that burned up to a height of about 20 meters. Just before 8:00 pm in the deep darkness, the Shinto priest lights the 8-meter-tall "Oyama" made of bamboo and wood with a torch, and a pillar of fire rises at once as if to scorch the night sky. The shrine was dyed red. It seems that the worshipers prayed for good health by lighting the sacred fire. In 1687, 萬子-hime Kasannoin, the wife of Naotomo Nabeshima, the lord of the Hizen Kashima Domain (formerly known as Yutokuin), lived in harmony with shrines and temples until the Meiji government issued an edict to separate Shintoism and Buddhism in 1868. Yutoku-in was a Zen temple of the Obaku sect, and was a nunnery presided over by 萬子-hime, who ruled over a dozen nuns. Mankohime was born in 1625 to Kasannoin Sadayoshi (1599-1673), a court noble and former minister of the left, and the daughter of a court noble and former emperor's chief advisor, Nobuhisa Takatsukasa (1590-1621). At the age of two, she was adopted by her maternal grandmother, Imperial Princess Seishi, the third daughter of Emperor Goyozei. In 1662, at the age of 37, she married Naotomo Nabeshima, the third lord of the Hizen-Kashima clan, a branch of the Saga clan. He remarried at the age of 41, and her first wife, Hikochiyo, died in 1660. His father, Sadako KASANNOIN, faced farewell and transferred the divine spirit of Inari no Okami enshrined in his residence as a guardian deity of food, clothing and shelter from Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine to a bronze mirror and bestowed it on Princess 萬子媛), but this was the imperial request office of the Imperial Court.

It is counted as one of Japan's three major Inari shrines, and various prayers such as the prosperous business rush of business, family prosperity, good catches, traffic safety, etc. The main shrine, the Kagura hall, the two-storied gate, and other parts of the temple, all painted in richly colored lacquer, are known as Chinzei Nikko, and stand out on sightseeing routes. The magnificent vermilion shrine building is characteristic, and it is also a place where seasonal flowers such as cherry blossoms and azaleas are beautiful. In autumn, it becomes one of Kashima City's best autumn foliage spots, attracting a large number of tourists from both Japan and overseas. The best time to see the autumn leaves is from mid-November to late November. Many places with beautiful autumn leaves are deep in the mountains where transportation is inconvenient, but this place is also attractive because it can be reached by a single bus from Hizen-Kashima Station, where the express train stops. "Kashima City Agricultural Revitalization Council Paddy Field Profitability Enhancement Vision" was announced based on the provisions of Appendix 11-3 of the Implementation Guidelines for Business Income Stabilization Measures. From 2021, the name will be changed from "Vision for Full Utilization of Paddy Fields" to "Vision for Strengthening Paddy Field Profitability". Current state of crop planting in the region, issues faced by the region: Effort policy as a production area for strengthening profitability, etc. Effort policy as a production area, etc. for effective use of paddy fields: Effort policy for each crop, etc. Planting for each crop Planned area, etc.: Efforts and targets for solving problems. Kashima City Agricultural Revitalization Council Vision for Full Utilization of Paddy Fields: Current State of Crop Planting in the Region, Issues Facing the Region In addition to producing land-use crops centered on wheat and soybeans, complex facility-use high value-added agriculture such as cultivation of greenhouse crops such as strawberries, tomatoes, and asparagus, and onion cultivation is being developed. Also, in the hilly and mountainous areas, it seems that fruit trees (Unshu mandarin oranges) are being cultivated mainly in the orchards developed by the government-run Taradake pilot project. On the other hand, with regard to the structure of agriculture, it seems that the aging of farmers has led them to quit farming due to labor instability, and the outflow of young people, who are the successors, to the outside of the city due to the lack of farming. In addition to land-use agriculture, uncultivated farmland is increasing in a wide range of areas, including hilly and mountainous areas. It seems that the further formation of Staple rice as a policy for each crop: The Kashima region has been promoting planting in line with production volume targets. "Hinohikari rice" is 16 ha, "Saga Biyori rice" is 284 ha, and "Hiyokumochi rice" is 166 ha. From 2018 onwards, they will work on producing staple food rice based on a planting plan in line with the "production guideline" presented by the prefecture and the prefectural council, while basically producing according to demand. In particular, we will actively promote “Saga Biyori Rice” and “Yume Shizuku Rice” that have acquired Special A. Based on this, if there is still a shortage even after making adjustments within the region, it seems that support will be provided so that rice production that meets the needs of the field will be supported by utilizing coordination between regional councils. In addition, it seems that rational land use, efficient work and cost reduction will be achieved by reducing organic matter (straw), labor saving by joint raising seedlings, and promoting and expanding direct sowing in water. As a non-staple food rice, it is necessary to solve various problems related to production, processing, distribution, and use of feed rice. As demand for rice is expected to decline, it seems that they are considering switching to high-yielding varieties of rice for feed using local subsidies, and are discussing the promotion of such efforts with relevant organizations. In food, it is widely known as a spice used in European cuisine such as saffron rice, paella, and bouillabaisse. In addition, it is the only flower in the world that is treated as a medicine, and it seems that it is used for coldness etc. because it promotes blood circulation. Recent research seems to confirm that there are other benefits as well. As an initiative in Kashima City, it seems that saffron cultivation is being carried out using fallow fields in the "Hayanose district", which is a mountainous area in the Nogomi district. The area is excellent as suitable land for growing saffron, and since it is light work, even the elderly can work on it, and once planted, it does not require maintenance. In addition, it is attracting attention as a fragrant and healthy ingredient, and there is a demand for it, so it seems that it is expected that the collection of pistils will create employment and lead to the revitalization of the region. Wait for purple flowers to bloom in indoor pots. The red flower lotus in the center of the flower looks like a pistil. In addition, we will discover the charm of secluded places in the mountains, create agricultural production plans unique to the region, maintain and continue agricultural production activities, and create a rural (mountain) community by suppressing the progress of devastation in secluded places in the mountains. It looks like they're trying to improve the scenery. “Kashima City”, From the Gisuke flat cave (Furueda), earthenware such as streak and stamped patterns, which are said to be from the early Jomon period, have been excavated, and people have already lived in a part of the foot of Mt. Tara for thousands of years. I know that. During the Yayoi period, relics were distributed in alluvial fans such as the Kashima, Nakagawa, Hamakawa, and Shichiura coasts, and it is speculated that the Yayoi people were fishermen who lived on fish and shellfish from the Ariake Sea. The place name of Kashima first appeared in the history book in the book “Engi-shiki” (927), which says “Hizen Province Kashima horse maki”, and it is presumed that it played the role of the station building at that time. In addition, it seems that most of the current Kashima city belonged to “Nomi Township” in Fujitsu District, which is located in “Hizen no Kuni Fudoki”. Since the Middle Ages, Mr. Omura, who is based in Furueda, has been in power in this area, but in the Warring States period, he became a sphere of influence of Mr. Arima. In the early modern period, the administration was transferred to Mr. Nabeshima under the rule of Mr. Ryuzoji. The Kashima branch domain began in 1609, about 400 years ago, when the first feudal lord, Tadashige Nabeshima-Ko, was allowed to know in Fujitsu District, and has ruled the land of Kashima for 13 generations. After the Meiji era, local autonomy as a subordinate organization of the central government began, and there is a history of rapid consolidation and abolition due to the county system and town / village system. In modern times, the Kashima Municipal System was established by the merger of the five towns and villages of Kashima Town, Nogomi Village, Furueda Village, Hamamachi, and Kashima Village on April 1, 1954, according to the 1953 “Municipal Merger Promotion Law”. It started. On March 1, 1955, the then seven ura villages (excluding Ifuku) merged, and the current Kashima city was established. The city is located in the southwestern part of the prefecture, with the Ariake Sea spreading to the east and the Mt. Taradake mountain range to the west, and is blessed with a natural environment. According to the 2015 census, the number of households is about 10,000 and the population is about 30,000. As for the transportation system, National Highway No. 207 runs in parallel with the Nagasaki Main Line, and the JR Nagasaki Main Line is about an hour away from Fukuoka City and Nagasaki City. In the city, valuable historical townscapes remain nationwide in the Hama district and Omuragata district of Furueda, but these precious townscapes are gradually breaking down or disappearing and cannot be maintained by individual power alone. It's done. It is said that it is planning to preserve this important historical heritage until the age of children and grandchildren, and to utilize it for creating an image of the city and tourism resources to promote the city and Hizenhama inn. On April 21, 2006, the two districts in Hizenhama inn were simultaneously selected as the “Important Traditional Buildings Preservation District (Important Preservation District)” by the national government (Agency for Cultural Affairs), and Kashima City is proud of its nationwide. It has been certified as a valuable historical heritage. This area is a post town for repatriation of Tara on the Nagasaki Highway, and it seems that the brewing industry and the fishery processing industry prospered as a port town facing the Ariake Sea. Hama Town Water and Minori Meeting: The Hama district is a hilly and mountainous area located in the western part of Kashima City. National Route 207 Bypass and the JR Kyushu railway run through the center of the area, and commercial facilities and residential areas are concentrated in between. There is a use zone of the city planning area. In the reclaimed land in the northwest, rice, wheat, soybeans, and onions are cultivated using well-maintained paddy fields, while mandarin oranges and vegetables are cultivated in the sloping mountainous areas. However, in addition to the lack of successors and bearers, the increase in the cost and labor burden of maintenance and management of irrigation ponds, headworks, and waterways to secure agricultural water, damage to wildlife such as wild boars, and the expansion of devastated land in the surrounding area. They have many problems such as the increased burden of maintenance and management of farmland and agricultural facilities, but they seem to be working on various issues in the region while making use of this subsidy. Multifunctional Payment Grant Project: The rich farmlands, farm roads, and agricultural irrigation canals in the town where residents live in Kashima City are not only related to agricultural production, but also multifaceted such as community roads, domestic drainage, and fire prevention water. It has a role and forms the living environment and landscape, and its benefits are enjoyed by all the residents living in the area. For this reason, the cooperation of the entire community is essential to protect these rural environments and pass them on to future generations. The mandarin oranges, which are abundantly ripened by the gentle sea breeze of the Ariake Sea, are in season from October to February every year. Raised with great care, Kashima mandarin oranges are popular for their sweet and juicy taste.

Bare ground mandarin oranges have a long history of being cultivated mainly at the foot of Mt. Tenzan, which crosses Saga Prefecture, and at the foot of Mt. Taradake, which is located in the southwest and overlooks the Ariake Sea. Orange Belt (Kashima City and Tara Town since 1964). The Orange Kaido, which crosses the foot of Mt. Taradake, is a wide-area agricultural road that runs along the coast of the Ariake Sea. In the winter season, yellow mandarin oranges spread out before your eyes. The steep erosion valley of Mt. Taradake, which used to be a volcano, is connected by a long bridge in a straight line and connected to the Taradake Rainbow Road on the Nagasaki Prefecture side). In addition, the production of branded mandarin oranges is flourishing. Among the delicious unshu mandarin oranges from this prefecture, only those that meet the uniform standards of the prefecture are named "Saga Bijin" and shipped.

“Yutoku” is named after “Yutoku Inari Shrine”, a god of prosperous business, which is famous as one of Japan’s three major Inari shrines in Kashima City. The precincts consist of a tower gate, a Shinto music shrine, a main shrine, etc., and it is affectionately known as "Chinzei Nikko: Kyushu's Nikko Toshogu Shrine" due to its gorgeous and vivid appearance. Beyond the main shrine, there is a vermilion torii gate leading to Okunoin.

The selection method is also strict, and it seems that the high sugar content, the right amount of acidity, and the good appearance must be satisfied. "Yutoku mikan" is the highest grade Saga mandarin orange that is shipped after stricter selection than Saga Bijin. It's only for a limited time, so don't miss the shipping time!

The Midori district of the Saga Prefectural Agricultural Cooperative is located in the southern part of Saga Prefecture and consists of Takeo City, Kashima City, Ureshino City, and three cities and three towns: Omachi Town, Kohoku Town, and Tara Town. Taking advantage of the flatness of the Ariake Sea and the mountainous terrain, the company produces a wide variety of agricultural products. Producers who raise pigs in Wakaki Town, Takeo City gathered together with the desire to provide healthy and delicious meat that takes into consideration technical improvements and environmental measures. Named "Wakakusu Pork" after the natural monument "Kawako no Okusu", which is a natural monument of Kawago. After that, he participated in local events, etc., increased his name recognition, and acquired a trademark registration in 2006. The appeal of this pork is All union members introduce sows produced at one member's farm to unify the sows, and healthy sows with strong limbs produce healthy piglets that inherit the blood of the sows. Born with a healthy body and raised in the rich natural environment and clean water of Wakaki-cho, the pork has little smell and is loved for its fine, tender meat.” It seems to have established itself as a branded product. In addition, in horticultural crops, we are working on priority items such as the brand tangerine 'Saga Bijin' mainly in the Kashima and Tara districts. Vegetables are mainly onions, strawberries, and cucumbers, and it seems that they are also working on the production of lightweight vegetables such as bok choy and asparagus. Ureshino Town is known as one of the leading tea-producing regions in Japan, and is known as "Ureshino Green Tea (the shape of the tea leaves is rounded like a comma-shaped bead), and is called Guri green tea. It is called green tea, and is characterized by its refreshing aroma and rich umami. Also, when it is roasted in an iron kettle, it is called kamairisei tamaryokucha, which is fragrant and has a refreshing taste.) It gets high marks every year.

The Shonai Town, Higashitagawa District election (Yamagata Prefecture) was announced on June 14, 2022 due to the expiration of the term of office, and 20 people will run for the fixed number of 14, 14 incumbents, and 6 newcomers will fight. By party, there are 1 communist, 19 independents, and 5 women. In the 2018 election for the same town, a total of 15 people, including 12 incumbents and 3 newcomers, ran for a fixed number of 16, and all of them were elected without voting. By party, there were 1 communist, 14 independents, and 2 women (parties at the time of the election). Voting will be on June 19th and will be counted on the same day. As of June 13, the number of registered voters is 17,532 (according to the Shonai Town Election Commission). A total of 20 people, 14 incumbents and 6 new faces, are preparing for the candidacy, and it is certain that the election contest will be held. Last time in 2018, only 15 people ran for the fixed number 16, and there was no vote due to "breaking the fixed number". In July 2021, Mikawa Town issued the local currency "Na(菜)no Ca" for the first time as a measure to stimulate consumption, which has been sluggish due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection. Repeatedly used by an unspecified number of people and business establishments in the form of banknotes. The full-scale introduction of local currencies issued by local governments is a rare case in Tohoku. 1 Na no Ca = 1 yen "Na no Ca" is issued by the town for 26 million yen, and the Dewa Chamber of Commerce and Industry Mikawa branch operates the business. A total of about 120 places, including restaurants and retail stores in the town, were expected to participate in the project. When shopping at participating business establishments after July 10, Nanoka was issued according to the payment amount, and a de facto discount was received. The grant ratio is 200 Na no Ca for every 500 yen (tax included) paid by restaurants, 500 Na no Ca for every 1500 yen for retail stores and service industries, and 1500 Na no Ca for every 5000 yen for the construction industry. The de facto discount rates were 40%, 33% and 30%, respectively. There are three types of banknotes: 200 Na no Ca, 500 Na no Ca, and 1500 Na no Ca. The name seems to be named after the town flower "rape blossoms". The Na no Ba received was available at any participating establishment.

The establishment could give Na no Ca again as change to another customer, and it seems that a certain amount could continue to circulate in the city. The expiration date was until February 27th (Sun) next year. Participating business establishments can redeem every Friday, and the final redemption date is set in early March of the same year. It seems that the town wants to be computerized in the future and become a permanent local currency.

It seems that the Tohoku Local Finance Bureau cannot grasp the whole picture of the "local currency" issued by the local government. The person in charge of the town said, "It should be rare in the whole country for the local government to issue the local currency of banknotes in earnest. Unlike the point redemption of "QR code" payment and gift certificates, the mechanism that money continues to circulate in the town I wanted to make it."

Furthermore, in 1890, Yaezato Village was separated from Goshari Village, and in 1891, Goshari Village was renamed Joman Village, and Kiyokawa Village was separated from Karigawa Village. Amarume Village enforced the town system in 1918, Karigawa Village enforced the town system in 1937, and on October 1, 1954, 1 town and 2 villages of Tachiyazawa Village, Kiyokawa Village and Karigawa Town merged with Tachikawa Town, became. In the same year, on December 1, 1956, Amarume Town, Yamato Village, Izaai Village, Sakae Village, Joman Village, and Yaezato Village merged into Amarume Town, and on January 1, 1956, Amarume Town. The two villages of Senbonsugi and Kuwata were separated from each other and incorporated into Tachikawa Town. Then, on July 1, 2005, Amarume Town and Tachikawa Town merged to form Shonai Town. The town is located in the northwestern part of Yamagata prefecture, from the southeastern part to the center of the Shonai Plain. A long north-south terrain along the clear stream Tachiyazawa River, which has the summit of Mt. Gassan, and the Mogami River, one of the three major rapids in Japan. It borders Sakata City to the north and northwest, Tozawa Village to the east, Okura Village to the southeast, Tsuruoka City to the southwest, and Mikawa Town across the Mogami River. It is a turning point connecting the regions and a gateway to the Shonai region. The climate is generally oceanic and relatively warm, but in winter the closer to the south (Moonyama side), the heavier the snowfall, the stronger the monsoon from the northwestern part (Sea of Japan side), and From spring to autumn, the strong winds in the east-southeast from the valley of the Mogami River are famous as “Kiyokawa-Dashi(It is counted as one of the three major local winds in Japan and is a representative example of isthmus winds. The Mogami River passes through the Mogami Gorge (a gorge with a width of about 1 km and a length of about 10 km that forms the saddle of the Dewa Hills).)”. It is about 22.2 km east-west, about 38.9 km north-south, and has an area of 249.17 km2, making it the 12th largest area in the prefecture. By region, forests account for about 62.9% and rice fields account for 22.8%. “Amarume Hachiman Shrine” : This shrine is located in Amarume, Shonai Town, and was founded in 719 when it was said that it solicited the spirit of Usa Hachimangu (Usa City, Oita Prefecture, Buzen Kuniichigu). It was the vassal of Mr. Fujiwara Oshu and the deity of Mr. Sato. In the Kamakura period, Minamoto no Yoritomo gave him the title of Amarume Hachimangu Shrine, and he was the general guardian of Amarume Township. It is said that the priest of Saigoku Fudasho solicited the sand from the Saigoku Fudasho (takes the sand home) and established it as the 33 Kannon sacred sites in the Shonai region. Reorganized in 1950, there are now 35 sacred sites across the five cities of Sakata, Tsuruoka, Yuza, Shonai, and Mikawa.) It was worshiped as one of Hachiman. In the Middle Ages, Mr. Anbo ruled the area around the area, and in 1362 he relocated Amarume Hachiman Shrine as the guardian shrine of his own building. For a long time after that, it was on the site of Mr. Anbo's mansion, but in the early modern period, 1637, he moved to the site for the first time in 260 years. The current Amarume Hachiman Shrine is an old building built in 1814, and it is said that it adopted the same ceremony as the Dewasanzan Shrine Sanjingo Shrine, and the worship hall and the main shrine are integrated and the palace is enshrined inside. The exterior of the hall of worship is the hip gable roof, thatched roof, 5 girders, a large staggered gable in front, and the eaves gable is used for the 3 間’s, and the xylem is colored in various colors, mainly vermilion. The detailed sculptures are also fine and elaborate, and the wrestler statues are often seen in northern Yamagata and southern Akita prefectures, and are thought to have a strong local color. The hall of worship and the palace are the remains of the shrine building in the latter half of the Edo period and are excellent in design, so they were designated as tangible cultural properties designated by Shonai Town in 1992. There are many sacred treasures. Inakari exhibition map (votive tablet: 1 sheet) and Anbo Akiyama discussion map (votive tablet: 2 sheets) (竪矧黒塗皺韋包二枚胴具足(1領), 有栖川熾仁親王書「八幡宮」1 width) is designated as a tangible cultural property designated by Shonai Town. Religious deities: Tamayorihime, Ohohirume, Emperor Homutawake, Toyoukebime, Okinagatarashime no Mikoto. Large shrine: village shrine. “六渕/ 瀬場砂防堰堤(立谷沢地内)” : Rokubuchi and Seba, two sabo dams constructed in the 1950s. It is made of boulder concrete, the beautiful curve of the water passage part, and it was made by the high technology and skill of the time, and it is difficult to restore it now, and it seems to be a very valuable sabo dam. The words “Mokushiteyu; By Yasushi Kurakami (Former Mogami River Sabo Construction Office Construction Manager)” engraved on the back of the stone monument on the Saba Dam express the spirit of those involved in the difficult construction. In the Tachiyazawa River basin, there are many monuments to the dragon and water gods that tell the history of suffering from flooding. It was registered as a tangible cultural property registered in Japan in 2017.

It faces Mt. Chokai, which is called Dewa Fuji in the north, and Mt. Gassan, a sacred mountain in the east. It is a rich place, adjacent to the castle town of Tsuruoka and the port town of Sakata. The Akagawa River, which runs along National Highway No. 7 that runs through the town, brings the blessings of the fertile land and is developing as one of the leading rice fields in the granary area, Shonai. Agricultural products other than rice, such as melons, shiitake mushrooms, and green onions, are actively produced and shipped not only locally but also to the Tokyo metropolitan area, and are highly evaluated. The town was born from Yokoyama Village, Togo Village, and Oshikiri Village. The name is derived from Sansen of the Akagawa River, Oyama River, and Fujishima River that flow through the town, and the fertile land created by each is always the yield per area even in the Shonai Plain, which is one of the leading breadbaskets in Japan. It is in the top class. The terrain of the spacious rural town is smooth, and the scenery overlooking the beautiful mountains such as Mt. Chokai and Mt. Gassan makes your heart clear. As a pure farming village from ancient times, Mikawa Town, which continues to coexist with nature, promotes and develops the region and moves forward while preserving the culture and environment that will lead to the next generation. A bone that seems to be an unknown creature, Degotsuchi (Tschinoko), is enshrined in the Soto Sect Eirinsan Kozenji Temple in a village called Zennami. In the Meiji era, when a pond in a nearby mountain was drought and brought “bones” from the bottom of the pond, unhappiness occurred one after another. According to the teachings of the shrine maiden, the discoverer gave a generous memorial service at Kozenji Temple. Is enshrined as the bone of a dragon god. In the village of Sukegawa in the town, there is a small pond called “Ono Komachi Pond”. There is a legend that Ono no Komachi was born in this area, and it was this pond that abandoned the hot water produced. It is also said that no matter how much it rains, it will not overflow. In the Oshikiri area, there is a straw-stacked Nio where a god snake called “Snake Nio” lives. A long time ago, a small straw nio flowed during the flood and stopped at the current position. Two snakes came out of it, so it was enshrined at a nearby shrine. However, at one point, the river overflowed again due to the flood and was washed away about 150 m downstream. Then, unhappiness occurred one after another in the area, and when I talked to the shrine maiden, there was a god's announcement that Snake Nio wanted to return to the previous position, and while doing so, another flood occurred, and this time it was swept away It is said that it returned to its original position. アトク先生の館(Mikawa Town Cultural Exchange Center): Known as the old house of Sanbongi. Built in the early Showa period, it was designed by Saichiro Miyajima, who also worked on imperial architecture. It is a one-story building made of cypress, with a copper plate roof, and a floor area of about 340 m2. The nickname is said to have been given by open recruitment because Tokusaburo Abe (1907-1994), who was the owner of the museum and taught at Yamagata University, was familiar with “Mr. Atoku” during his lifetime. It is said that the Ikezumi strolling garden was built in the Genroku period of the Edo period by collecting famous trees and rare stones from all over the country at a huge cost of 1,000 Ryos. Due to its design, it is known as one of the most famous gardens in Shonai. In addition to the doll displayed at Girls’ Festival being exhibited in March every year, a tea party is held in May and November with a view of the garden. It is also known as the filming location for “Departures; おくりびと,” which won the 81st Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film; 2009, International Feature Film Award. Japanese ginger is a perennial plant of the ginger family. The place of origin is East Asia, and it is said that cultivars cultivated in China have spread to various places, and it grows naturally in Japan, China, the Korean Peninsula, and so on. The description has been confirmed in the Wei Shi Yajinden around the 3rd century. It is said that only Japanese people eat Japanese Myoga, but even in China, it is prized for stir-fry in some areas. However, it seems that Chinese Myoga is used exclusively for Chinese herbs, and I heard that only Japan grows it as an ingredient. I usually eat flower ears from the rhizome of Myoga, Flower Japanese wild ginger. Also called. Many of the items sold at retail stores and mass retailers are bright red, but at direct sales outlets, you can also see earthen and greenish Japanese ginger. In addition, there are many documents that describe that Japanese ginger was often used for the family crests of famous families in the Edo period. This was said to have been auspicious for the local affairs, such as the blessing of the gods and Buddha that they received without their knowledge. It seems that the Hosho style Nogaku performance to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Sakai clan, the former Shonai feudal lord, was held at the Shonai Shrine in Tsuruoka City on June 14, 2022. It seems that Kazufusa Hosho, a 20-something Soke, and Mansai NOMURA, an Izumi-style kyogen master, performed a celebration. It seems that about 120 people concerned gathered in front of the shrine's hall of worship. The performance was "OLD MAN", which dances in prayer for peace reigns in the land, peace of the land, and bumper crops. It seems that the Hosho-style Mikawa family served the Sakai family as Nogaku; noh play leaders for generations.

The subcommittee in the jurisdiction is based on the original bright red standard table, and the standard is 75% or more of bright red and 1.5 cm or more in diameter, and those that have completely bloomed after flowering are removed. Also, at the time of shipment, it seems that after washing with water, it is drained sufficiently and the handle is cut to about 1 cm.

Although the history of Japanese ginger is so old in Japan that it is written in the "Wei Shi Yajinden" written in the 3rd century, I heard that only Japan grows it as a vegetable. It is also attractive that it can be chopped and sprinkled with dried bonito and soy sauce, used as an ingredient in miso soup, and can be used not only as a condiment but also as a single dish. Also, when boiled with eggplant, it goes very well. When I was a child, the memories I had often made and tasted by my grandmother still reappear. Young Japanese ginger stalks are cultivated without light, and the ones that are reddish by exposing them to the sun for a short time are called "Myogatake" and are said to be on the market from March to May.

Itsunen Shoyu (3rd priest of Kofukuji Temple in Nagasaki, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, the ancestor of Nagasaki Han paintings of the Hokusou painting system). Later, with the devotion of Emperor Gomizunoo, the shogunate, and various daimyo, in 1661, Obakusan Manpukuji Temple was founded in Uji, Kyoto, Ryuki INGEN

Onuki Castle: Apparently it was a castle placed for the defense of the western side of the Kizaki-Takeda clan territory. 1.5 km east of the castle is the West Building, which was the western defense of Shinmei Castle, and just southeast of it. The plateau on which the castle is located is nearly 20 meters high and juts out greatly to the southwest. It seems that one enclosure was placed near the tip of this area, and a horizontal moat was placed around it. In the middle of the Muromachi period, Nobuhisa, the younger brother of Nobumitsu Takeda, the guardian of Kai, moved to Takei Village, Hitachi Province (Takeda, Namegata City) and settled there. It seems that he has returned to his ancestral hometown, although the location is different. From then on, he used Shinmei Castle (Uchijuku, Namegata City) as his base and took advantage of the turbulent times of the Sengoku period to steadily expand his influence into the surrounding areas. In particular, Tsushin, the eighth generation, is said to have built a larger Kizaki Castle in 1533.

EM is a collection of good bacteria that are kind to both people in the natural world and the environment, such as photosynthetic bacteria that are effective in improving agricultural land and water environment, fermented lactic acid bacteria, and yeast. EM is an abbreviation of Effective Microorganisms, which means useful microbes. Developed in 1982 by Teruo HIGA, Professor Emeritus of Ryukyu University. He's a Master of Health and Nutrition with The Beijing DeTao Masters Academy (DTMA), a high-level, multi-discipline, application-oriented higher education institution in Shanghai, China.) is an abbreviation for Effective Microorganisms, which is a useful group of microorganisms. The most important factors that determine the deliciousness and nutritive value of vegetables are the density and vitality of the microorganisms working in the soil. If you compare,bread, yogurt, cheese, fermented butter. Adult taste, alcohol such as alcohol, beer and wine. Seasonings and pickles such as miso, soy sauce, mirin, and vinegar that are essential for cooking. Pickles (kimchi), tofuyo (唐芙蓉; 豆腐餻), tempeh, natto, side dish of rice.Similarly, dried bonito (鰹節), sun-dried fish, salted spicy, carassius vulgaris sushi (鮒寿司), anchovies. Black tea, Goishi tea (碁石茶: It's best known to be made (高知県長岡郡大豊町).), Oolong tea (semi-fermented tea). All of them are a combination of 80 kinds of lactic acid bacteria, yeast, photosynthetic bacteria, etc., which are useful for human health. A modern term dictionary has also appeared since 1998. EM technology, which deals with microorganisms as an aggregate, was developed long before the power of microbiota attracted worldwide attention, and has proved its ability for more than 30 years all over the world. The effect of EM technology is that complex bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and photosynthetic bacteria do not act directly on the target, but bring out the original power of the land (nature) by energizing indigenous microorganisms. “Ibaraki Prefecture KITAURA Mitsuba Union Shipping Association” : Established 1960 KITAURA Mitsuba Shipping Association started as a federation, number of members: 600 at the start. As of April 1, 2014, the KITAURA Mitsuba Union Shipping Association was established on September 1, 2003, when the number of employees increased to 1,300 in 1970. There are 213 union members and 17 production subcommittees. The Ibaraki Prefecture Kitaura Mitsuba Union Shipping Association, which delivers rich scents and seasonal “Mitsuba” to consumers, has been receiving the most attention for about 60 years now, delivering dreams, peace of mind, taste and scent to everyone. It is a shipping association. In January, mitsuba, perilla, raw shiitake mushrooms, kwai, spinach, and spring seven herbs. Strawberries, Mizuna green, bok choy, green siso, Raw shiitake mushrooms at the Hinamatsuri; Girl's festival in March. Bamboo shoots, irises, mitsuba, green siso, mizuna greens. Leaf ginger, shallot, perilla, spinach, kairansai at the Star Festival in July, young green onions, sweet potatoes, leaf ginger, shallot, perilla, spinach at the lantern festival in August. September, sweet potato, spinach, bok choy, green beans (beans), tomato, echalet, young onion, gobo, root mitsuba, spring chrysanthemum, raw shiitake mushrooms, mizuna, baby Chinese cabbage, Chinese broccoli, EM Kintoki sweet potato, Japanese mustard spinach. December, strawberry for Christmas, various mitsuba as New Year's supplies, bok choy, Raw Shiitake mashrooms, spring chrysanthemum, EM carrot, spinach, auction, EM Kintoki, Chinese cabbage, Chinese broccoli, EM Chijimi Spinach, EM Chijimi japanese mastered spinach. As mentioned above, the Union Shipping Association produces fresh and delicious vegetables with a sense of the seasons in four seasons with “EM Sodachi” and is pleased by consumers. Under the influence of the Kuroshio Current in Kashima Nada, it is said that there are more than 60 agricultural products produced in Namegata City, which is blessed with a relatively warm climate throughout the year. Among them, Kiri-mitsuba green and Bok Choy are the number one in the country, and green siso is the number two in the country, and the whereabouts of auction are also one of the leading production areas in the country. Features of EM Sodachi ® : Vegetables grown using EM (EM Sodachi®) are delicious. For example, bok choy has less bitterness, and overnight pickling with perilla leaves is the best taste. Leaf ginger and shallot are for sale with a spicy taste, but “EM sodachi” has a mild spicy taste. This is just an example, but if you grow it in EM, which is an aggregate of good bacteria, all the vegetables and fruits will be delicious. Furthermore, the taste of EM Kintoki (sweet potato) grown with EM technology, which is made by adding EM resuscitated sea salt (salt made by adding EM to deep sea water) to EM, and EM carrots are exceptional. Organic fertilizer is used, which is fermented by adding EM and molasses (a member of sugar) to organic materials such as rice bran, oil residue, fish residue, and crabgrass. Although the amount used varies depending on the crop, 300 to 1000 kg per 10 a; 1000 m2 is put in to grow vegetables while making soil. As a measure against pests, dilute EM with water and spray it on the foliage. In addition, the number of times pesticides are used is reduced. Since the soil is made with EM (good bacteria), the number of pathogens (bad bacteria) in the soil tends to decrease. On the other hand, as the soil changes to an antioxidant state, it is said that vegetables that are resistant to pests and have a long shelf life will grow. “Surprised jumbo common bean” : See Mikado Kyowa Co., Ltd., It is a very delicious, jumbo flat pod with no streaks, and the pods are jumbo with a width of 2 cm and a length of 20 to 25 cm. The grass is vigorous and resistant to dryness. The pods are dark green and do not bend much, and tend to be soft even when harvested as large pods. Although it is a high temperature variety, it seems to be suitable for a wide range of cultivation from warm house cultivation to open field cultivation on flat land. The leaves will also be large, so it is recommended that the distance between the plants be 45 cm or more. The pods have little bending and are soft and tasty even when they are large, and they have a sweet taste and a crispy texture that can be used in various dishes such as stir-fried foods, tempura, and seasoned foods. The main point of cultivation is to moisten the sowing floor, sow seeds and lightly sprinkle with soil. Sow 3-4 grains directly in the field at a distance of about 30 cm. Care should be taken to water the soil so that it does not dry out until germination. Leave one or two strong seedlings and thin out the others. Also, I heard that it would be good to attract the vines to stand up as they grow. Established in September 2005 by the merger of Aso Town, Tamatsukuri Town, and Kitaura Town. The city of whereabouts is located in the southeastern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, surrounded by Nishiura and Kitaura in Kasumigaura. It is an area with soil. Hitachi Province (Ibaraki Prefecture) was established by the Taika Reform of 645CE, and there are only five Fudoki in Japan that describe the situation at that time: Hitachi Province, Harima Province, Bizen Province, Bungo Province, and Izumo Province. There is already a description of the whereabouts area in. The city is a region with a warm and mild climate due to the blessings of Kasumigaura and Mt. Tsukuba. In addition, mellow land was formed from many rivers flowing into Kasumigaura. The whereabouts area is a famous place where various agricultural products can be produced regardless of the crop. The sun, water, abundant soil, and areas that have benefited a lot from nature form an industrial system centered on the agriculture, livestock and fisheries industry. As a result, many agricultural, livestock and fishery products can be shipped throughout the year, and it is possible to stably supply foodstuffs to the metropolitan area (consumption area). More than 60 kinds of various products (rice, vegetables, meat (pork, beef, chicken), chicken eggs, river fish) are stably shipped to the Tokyo area throughout the year. In particular, the items with the highest yields are sweet potatoes, potatoes, mizuna, and auction, which maintain the highest yields in Japan. “Hitachi no Kuni Fudoki (description of the culture, climate, etc. of Hitachi province; approx. 720 CE)” : Hitachi is a good country with a large country, far mountains, fertile fields, and cultivated Rangeland. Blessed with the blessings of the sea and mountains, the people are at ease and the houses are full. There is no poor man who cultivates rice fields and spins threads. You can get salt in the mountains on the left and fish in the sea on the right. In addition, Kuwahara(Mulberry field)spreads in the rear field, and hemp is cultivated in the front field. It is a place rich in the fruits of Umikawa Yamano no(海川山野之). However, since there are few high-quality paddy fields (many wetlands), seedlings may not grow if long rains continue. With just the right amount of sunshine, the grain is rich enough. On May 2; 甲子, 713; 和銅6年, Empress Genmei issued an official order to promote Fudoki to the whole country. At this time, the title “Fudoki” was not official, and it was only an order to submit the customs geography of each country together. After that, in the Heian period, Kiyotsura Miyoshi-Ko's “Twelve Articles of Opinion Sealing”, 公望 Yatabe's “Nihon Shoki Shiki”, and “Fudoki” in 925, etc. It is believed that in the Heian period, it came to be called by the generic name “Fudoki”. The official order of Fudoki is, “Write your favorite characters for the names of the counties of the seven provinces of KINAI. And record the story of the land, the reason for the name of Yamakawa Wilderness, and the old story of the old man's biography.” To make this official order easier to understand, the name of the county town is written in a favorable character (two kanji characters), a list of minerals such as silver and copper, plants, animals, fish, and insects in the county, the fertile state of the land, the place name of the mountain river wilderness. It describes the origin and the old story that the old man tells. In each country, it is probable that the survey was conducted on a county-by-county basis and submitted by each gunji; district governor (Ritsuryo period) to the Kokushi; provincial governor (under the ritsuryo system, any of a group of officials, esp. the director), who is in charge of compilation. After that, it is thought that the editing of the submitted reports of each county began based on the ideas and compilation intentions of each country, and the climate record for each country was born. Fudoki has been passed down beyond the time of 1300, and now only five countries have been told. You can see how difficult it is to pass on old records to posterity. The five traditions that have been handed down are “Hitachi”, “Harima”, “Izumo”, “Bungo”, and “Hizen” from the east. Of these five Fudoki, the only one that has been handed down in its entirety is “Izumo no Kuni Fudoki”, and the time of creation and the editor are clear. At the end of the book: 天平五年二月三十日 勘造 秋鹿郡人; アイカノコオリ 神宅臣金太理; かんやけのおみかなたり 国造帯宇郡大領外正六位上勲十二等 出雲臣広嶋とあり: It can be seen that it was created in 733 by the county priest Kanyake no Omikanatari under the supervision of Izumono Omihiroshima. There is also a theory that it is considered to be a reprint because it has been 20 years since the apology was issued. The other four Fudoki are incomplete, but are treated as valuable materials that tell the story of the time. Among them, “Hitachi no Kuni Fudoki” is the only description of the eastern country, and is used as a reference when considering the ancient eastern country. It is thought that Fudoki was created in more than 60 countries nationwide during the Nara period, but nowadays, “Izumo Kuni no Fudoki” (complete), “Hitachi no Kuni Fudoki”, “Harima no Kuni Fudoki”, “Hizen no Kuni Fudoki”, It seems that only the five Fudoki of “Bungo no Kuni Fudoki” (part) are reported. The description varies from country to country, but most of the “Hitachi no Kuni Fudoki” is written in splendid sentences with the 46 Pianwens used in Tang (China) and songs written in Man'yogana. In addition, since it is the only remaining climate record in the eastern country, it seems to be an indispensable document when considering the situation in the eastern country at that time. It is also peculiar that many Japanese Takeru appear and that there are many descriptions of gods, especially the description of Kashima District, where the great god of Kashima is enshrined. This is related to the theory that the center of compilation was Fujiwara no Umakai. 昔, 難波の長柄の豊崎の大宮に天の下知ろし食しし天皇(孝徳天皇)の御世の白雉四年に, 茨城の国造 小乙下 壬生連麿みぶのむらじまろ, そして那珂の国造: 大建: 壬生直夫子; みぶのあたひをのこらが, 坂東惣領高向大夫; ばんどうたかむこのまえつきみ, 中臣幡織田(連)大夫; なかとみのはとりだのむらじ, 達に申し出て, 茨城と那珂の郡からそれぞれ八里と七里, 合計: 十五里(七百余戸)の土地を提供して, 郡家を置いて, 『行方郡』としたらしい. A long time ago, when the emperor of Takeru was patrolled under the heavens and turned north from Kasumigaura, when he passed this country and went to Izumi Kiyoizumi in Tsukino, he cleansed his hands with Shimizu and opened a well with a ball. It was a compliment. This is called Kiyoi of Tama, and it is still in the village of whereabouts. In addition, he traveled by car to the country and offered food to God on the hills of Arahara. At that time, the emperor wanted to see all sides and said to the chamberlain. “The scenery you see while walking out of the car is that the mountain ridges and the sea coves cross each other, undulating and winding. The clouds over the peaks and the fog that sets toward the valley. They are lined up in a stunning arrangement and have a delicate beauty. That's why the name of this country is called a line-up ridge.” Hisashi Namekata later became known as Namekata. 諺に “立雨たちさめふり, 行方の国” といふ. In addition, this hill was named Arahara because it is a hill that can be seen very high from the surroundings. When I went down this hill, went out to the Omasu River, and climbed the river on a small boat, the paddle broke. Therefore, the river is called Mukajigawa River. It is a river that flows through the border between Ibaraki and Namegata. When I went up the Mukaji River to the county border, a duck was about to fly. As soon as the emperor shot the bow, the duck fell to the ground. That place is called Kamano. The soil is thin and there are no living vegetation. To the north of the field, there is a deep forest where Ichii, Kunugi, Kaede, and Japanese cypress grow densely. Masu Pond there was dug during the time of Tayu; Chief actor in a No play Takamukai. In the north, there is a shrine dedicated to the god of Katori, and the mountains beside it are fertile and densely populated with vegetation. There are sea pine trees and salt-burning algae in the sea where you can see from the ferry west of the county, but there are no rare fish and no whales. There is an old indigenous company in the east of the county, which is called the prefecture's Gion; 祇. Shimizu in the forest is called Oi, and people living nearby come to fetch water and use it for drinks. A large tree stands at the south gate of the county house. The northern branch hangs down until it reaches the ground, and then rises into the sky again. This area used to be a swamp of water, so even now, when it rains for a long time, a puddle can form in the garden of the government building. Tachibana trees are also flourishing in the nearby villages. There is Tega no Sato in the northwest of the county. A long time ago, it was named in memory of Saiki, who lived in this area and was named Tega; 手鹿. To the north of the village is a shrine dedicated to the god of Kashima. The surrounding mountains and fields are fertile and rich in chestnuts, bamboo, and chives. To the north of the village of Oga, there is a village of Nun. It was named after Saiki, who lived in this area a long time ago. The station house Umaya is now located, and it is called the Soun Station. 昔, いはれ(石村)の玉穂の宮に大八洲知ろし食しし天皇: In the reign of Emperor Keitai, there was a man named Mr. Yahazu, who cleared the valley west of the county house and the reclaimed rice field, and healed the newly reclaimed rice field. At that time, the gods of Yatsu appeared in a flock and stood on the left and right, so they could not cultivate the rice fields. (Popularly, a snake is called the god of the night sword. The shape of the body is a snake, but it has a horn on its head. , The house is destroyed and the descendants are gone. Usually, they live in groups in the field beside the county house.) Unable to see it, Mr. Matachi wore armor, took a halberd, and confronted him. Then he set up a wand to mark the moat at the entrance of the mountain, and said, “From today, I will be a priest, in order to make the mountain above here a dwelling place for gods and the village below to be a rice field where people can make. , I will honor God and celebrate the festival until the generations of my descendants, so please do not worship or resent me.” Since then, the descendants of Matachi-Ko have continued to take over this festival for generations to this day, the number of newly reclaimed rice field has increased, and more than ten towns have been reclaimed. 後に, 難波の長柄の豊崎の大宮に天の下知ろし食しし天皇: In the reign of Emperor Kotoku, Mibu no Murajimaro ruled this valley and built a pond bank. At that time, the god of the Yatsu climbed up to the vertebrate tree by the pond and did not leave easily. Maro said in a loud voice, “The purpose of building the embankment is to save the people. I don't know if it's a god of heaven or a god of nation, but please listen to the apology.” The snake ran away when he tried to say, “Knock out visible animals and fish insects without fear.” The pond is now called Shiii no Ike(Next to the old man Ikoi's house in Tamatsukuri Town Izumi). There is a vertebrate tree on the edge of the pond, and there is also a well where fresh water comes out, which was taken as the name of the pond. This is the overland station road to Kashima. Odaka no ri is located seven ri south of the county. It was named after Saiki, who used to live in this area and was named Odaka. A pond was built during the time of the Hitachi National Guard, Tagima chief actor in a No play, and it is still east of the road. In the mountains west of the pond, there are many vegetation and many indigo plants and monkeys. Whale oka, south of the pond, is a place where whales have come all the way to this point and lie down and die. To the north of the pond, there is a shrine dedicated to the god of Katori. It became the name of the pond because there was a large chestnut tree called Kuriya no Ike. In the village of Aso, hemp used to grow at the water's edge. The hemp was as thick as bamboo, and was more than one length long. Castanopsis, Chestnuts, Zelkova serrata, and Taxus cuspidata flourish, and ino and monkeys live there. Horses that live in the field are for horseback riding. In the reign of the emperor (Emperor Tenmu), who ate at the Omiya of Kiyomihara in Asuka, the life of the county's university student, Ohofu no Sato, presented the horse in this field to the imperial court. Since then, it has been called the “Missing Horse”. The horse of Ibaraki no Sato is called "Ibaraki no Sato no Horse”. Kasumi no Sato is located 20 ri(about 78.545 km ≒ To get an approximation, multiply the length value by 3.927)south of Gunya. In the old biography, Emperor Keiko, the courtier of Shimousa, when he climbed the hill of Torimi, walked slowly and looked at the country, turned to the east and said, “The blue waves in the sea. You can see this country as soon as it springs up from the red haze that flutters on the land,” said the samurai. From this time on, people came to call it “Human Township”. The shrine in the eastern mountain of the village is full of enoki, camellia, camellia, vertebrate, bamboo, salmon, and arrowheads. The island in the sea west of the village is called Niihari's island. It was named because if you stand on the island and look far north, you can see the mountains of Tsukuba in Small Tsukuba, the country of Niihari. There is a village where you want to come to Ita, located south of Kasuminosato. A station house is placed at a nearby seaside ferry, and it is called Itarai station house. To the west is a forest of celtis sinensis. This is the place where Omi, the king of Omi King, lived in the reign of Asuka Kiyomihara's emperor (Emperor Tenmu). Many salt-burning algae, sea pine, surf clams, spicy clams, and clams live in the sea. A long time ago, Takekashima Mikoto was sent to the reign of the Emperor Sujin, who ate at the Mizugaki Palace in Shiki, in order to speak to the raging thieves of the eastern country. When Mikoto set up an inn on the island of Aba, while leading the army to the thieves, he saw smoke as he looked far into the eastern ura of the sea. The soldiers suspected that this was a thief army. Mikoto looked up at the heavens and swore, “If it's the smoke of a heavenly man, come and cover me. If it's the smoke of a raging thief, go away and go to the sea.” The smoke flowed far towards the sea. Knowing that he was a thief, he ordered all the soldiers to finish breakfast early, and the army crossed the sea. Meanwhile, Kuzu, Yasakashi, Yatsukushiha, and the chief of the thieves, dug a hole, built a small castle, and lived there. When Mikoto fired his troops and expelled them, he fled to the small castle all at once, closing the gate tightly and standing up. Immediately make a plan, select brave soldiers to hide in the depressions of the mountain, build weapons and arrange them in the beach, line up boats, knit rafts, flip the caps of clothing with clouds, and rainbow the flags. Ama no Torikoto and Ama no Torifue sang and danced the first song on Kishima Island for the first time in seven days and seven nights, and enjoyed playing with the sound of the waves. Hearing this fun song and dance, the thieves came out with their families and men and women, and flocked to the beach and laughed happily. Mikoto had his cavalry block the castle, attacking thieves from behind, capturing them, and setting them on fire to destroy them. The place where I said painfully was the town of Taku (Itarai) now, the place where I said that I would slash normally was the village of Futsuna, and the place where I said that I would slash cheaply was the village of Yasukiri, and I often slash. That is Esaki's eup. In the sea south of Itarai, there is a shore of about 34 ri; about 132 km. In the spring, men and women come from Kashima and whereabouts to pick up clams, surf clams and various other shellfish. Tohoku no native place is located 15 ri(about 58.909 km)to the northeast of the county. A long time ago, when I visited this town during the procession of the Emperor Takeru, Torihi Torihiko, whose name was Saeki, rebelled against his life and defeated him. He then headed for Yagatano's Book Palace, but the road was narrow, rugged (rough), and rough, hence the name Toma. The soil in the field is thin, but purple grows. There are also two companies, Katori and Kashima. In the surrounding mountains, there are forests of wild boars, hahaso, chestnuts, and shiba, and many wild boars, monkeys, and wolves live there. To the south of Toma, there is the art capital, Kitsunosato. A long time ago, there were two Kuzu, Kitsuhiko and Kitsuhime. In front of the emperor's pilgrimage, the princess turned against Mikoto, disobeyed herself, and behaved in a very rude manner, so she was killed with a sword. The princess was terrified and fell down on the side of the road with a white flag, and welcomed the emperor. The emperor mercifully gave her grace and forgave her house. As she goes further on her ride and goes to Onukino's palace, she takes her sister with her, and she does her true heart on rainy and windy days. I finished it in the morning and evening. The emperor was delighted with his lonely appearance, and his love became a stain, so he called this field Uruhashi Ono no. There is a rice field village to the south of the art capital village. In the reign of Empress Jingu, a person named Kotsuhikoto was sent to Korea three times. It became the name because it was given a rice field for its achievements. The field of Hazumuno no was named after Yuhazu was built in the temporary palace of the emperor of Takeru. There is a branch of the god of Kashima on the seaside north of the field. The soil is thin, and elms, elms, elms, bamboo, etc. are sparsely grown. There are Auka and Oho villages to the south of the rice field village. A long time ago, when the emperor of Takeru stayed at Kazakinomiya in front of the hill of Auka, he built Ohido no on the urabe and connected small boats to go to Gozaisho as a bridge. He named Ohohikara, Oho. Also, Ohotachibana no Mikoto, who was after the emperor of Takeru, came down from Yamato and met the emperor here, so it is called Afuka's eup. Tanakiyonoi : According to the whereabouts of “Hitachi no kuni Fudoki”, “Hunting under the heavens of Emperor Yamato Takeru and conquering the north of the sea. Fortunately, he faced the water, washed his hands, and prospered the well with balls. He is still in the village of whereabouts and is called Tamakiyoi.” Even though it is a well, it is now like a pond in a garden. According to the monument of “Tamakiyoi” by Tsutomu KURITA, which stands nearby, it is said that it was dug by the villagers during the famine of Tenmei. Contents of Hitachi no Kuni Fudoki, Namegata District-A long time ago, when the emperor of Takeru was patrolled under the heavens and turned north from Kasumigaura, when he passed this country and went out to Shimizu in Tsukino, he cleansed his hands with Shimizu and opened a well with a ball. It was a compliment. This is called Kiyoi of Tama, and it is still in the village of Namegata. 鹿行文化研究所(旧行方郡玉造町甲)1996 “小貫館跡発掘調査報告書” : 小貫館跡遺跡(旧行方郡玉造町西蓮寺字寺前): 墓地造成工事に伴う発掘調査, 城館, 中世 (細分不明) 時代, 井戸, 建屋跡2, 縄文時代の石器, 陶磁器, 鉄滓, 古銭, 人骨, 五輪, 塔水輪. Manjuin Sairenji Temple of the Tendai sect is an ancient temple that is said to have been built in 782 and has many cultural assets. The temple gate guarded by fierce Deva Kings was built in 1543 and was originally built as a tower gate. In 1790, it was rebuilt into a mountain gate and then changed to the temple gate guarded by fierce Deva Kings. The principal image is Yakushi Nyorai, and it is commonly recognized as Mt. Koya in Hitachi. The gate and Sorinto(August 29, 1950)are designated as national important cultural properties, and the wooden Yakushi Nyorai(March 12, 1958)sitting statue is designated as a tangible cultural property designated by Ibaraki Prefecture. Only the first floor of the Sanken Ikko tower gate is left, and it is said that the shape of Kaerumata and Minotsuka is peculiar and you can see the local color peculiar to the end of the Muromachi period.

Jumbo green beans are excellent agricultural products with flat and soft pods, streaky green beans, 2 cm wide and 20-25 cm long. The pods are characterized by little bending and are soft and tasty even when they are large. In addition, it has a sweet and crispy texture and can be used for various dishes such as stir-fried foods, tempura, and vegetable with dressing.

It seems that the biggest factors that determine the deliciousness and nutritional value of vegetables are the density of microorganisms working in the soil and the principle of vitality. It is. The cultivation method of "EM Sodachi ®" is to use organic fertilizer fermented by adding EM and molasses (a member of sugar) to organic materials such as rice dregs, oil dregs, fish dregs, and crab shell (often ground or crushed and used as fertilizer). The amount used varies depending on the crop, but it seems that vegetables are grown while making soil by putting 300 to 1000 kg per 10a. As a measure against pests, it seems that EM is diluted with water and sprayed on the foliage.

Features of EM Sodachi ®: The number of times pesticides are used is reduced. Since the soil is made with EM (good bacteria), it seems that the number of pathogens (bad bacteria) in the soil will decrease. On the other hand, because the soil changes to an antioxidant state, it is resistant to pests and grows long-lasting vegetables, so Ingen is also delicious.
