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.

Agriculture in Tokachi was often hit by poor harvests, which coincided with the economic downturn, and it seems that there was no shortage of people leaving farming. However, in 1914, with the outbreak of World War I and food shortages in Europe, Obihiro saw an increase in the export of legumes via Otaru Port due to the opening of the Kushiro Line (currently the Nemuro Main Line). As a result, there was a bean boom. I have heard that pioneer farmers who were previously self-sufficient are now able to engage in farming with confidence. At the same time, the scale of farming continued to expand with the shift from human power to animal power using horses, and agriculture began to see further progress. 【Product name】 Taisho make queen 【Type】 Solanum tuberosum L. 【Wholesale area】 Taisho Honcho, Obihiro City, Hokkaido （JA Obihiro-Taisho） 【Origin of name】 It seems that it was named after the queen who was chosen for the medieval spring festival (May Day: worker's festival held all over t...
