Stevia farming is a method of growing delicious vegetables and fruits using stevia, which is also used as a sweetener. By mixing the extract into the soil, it seems to have the effect of proliferating useful microorganisms in the soil, encouraging the roots of plants to grow healthily, and activating them. As a result, everyone thinks that the sugar content, vitamins, and minerals that control the sense of taste and bring about deliciousness will increase, and that the inherent umami of vegetables and fruits will ripen and become sweeter. Also, when sugars such as stevia are sprayed on the leaves, they are taken up by the leaf cells and transported to other parts of the plant. As it travels through our beloved plants, it is partly used for respiration, partly for other chemical compounds, and partly for building new cells. Furthermore, research results indicate that part of the absorbed sugar is translocated to the fruit and becomes a component of sweetness.

The new child and child-rearing support system was created to expand the quantity and quality of early childhood school education, childcare, and local child-rearing support. The Japanese Cabinet Office has announced that it is working to provide support that can be used by all families who need it and that children can grow up more prosperously. The Kishida administration is stepping up measures to support child-rearing, including doubling the child-rearing-related budget. However, concrete measures have been postponed, and there seems to be no financial support at the moment. Last year, 2022, a lot of attention was focused on education and parenting policies. The Children and Families Agency, which was decided to be established in April 2023, is expected to break down the silos of each ministry and agency and become the command center for policies centered on children. In addition, the key word is "income restrictions," but today the Cabinet has begun to consider abolishing them. As the birthrate continues to decline year by year, we cannot go back in time. Opposition parties, ruling parties, bureaucrats, politicians, people who control local politics, let's put our lives on the line to protect our country!

Hokota City, Ibaraki Prefecture(Daishoji FARM: Ibaraki Prefecture Yamasa Shipment Association) 
【Name Reason】
"The taste does not deteriorate even after March (Yayoi Spring)." In other words, from the strawberries that can still be eaten deliciously in the season after this.
【Major features】
Strawberries from Ibaraki, bursting with flavor, are one of the major horticultural crops in Ibaraki Prefecture, and the number of shipments in 2021 will be the 7th largest in Japan. It is cultivated throughout the prefecture, mainly in Hokota City, Namegata City, and Chikusei City. I've heard that the background behind the boom in strawberry cultivation in the northern Kanto region was countermeasures against the off-season for farming in winter and back crops for rice cultivation. That's why even now it seems that there are more rice fields than fields. In addition, Hokota City is the number one producer of strawberries in Ibaraki Prefecture. Hokota strawberries are rich in minerals and are very sweet, even for those who are particular about their taste buds. Gunma Prefecture's original cultivar "Yayoi Hime Ichigo" was registered in 2005, and is now cultivated nationwide from Hokkaido to Okinawa. In Joshu Gunma Prefecture, strawberries are cultivated in many areas of the prefecture, including Fujioka City and Tomioka City in the west, Ota City and Tatebayashi City in the east, and Shibukawa City and Numata City in the north. It is said that it boasts the 13th largest shipment volume nationwide. The excellent agricultural products produced by the producers are the main varieties among them, and it seems that they account for about 80% of the total. In recent years, it seems that an increasing number of strawberry farmers are working on pest control using natural enemy insects as an effort to reduce the use of chemically synthesized pesticides. Natural enemy insects are one of the means of controlling agricultural pests, but since they are naturally occurring organisms, they are environmentally friendly and can reduce the use of chemical pesticides, so it seems that it is possible to grow crops while maintaining the ecosystem. In addition, it seems that natural enemy insects that catch and eat insects as food are called predatory natural enemies. It seems to refer to insects such as "Princess stinkbugs'' that catch thrips, aphids, spider mites, whiteflies, and leafminers and kill them by sucking their body fluids, and "ladybugs'' that prefer to prey on aphids. In addition, it seems that natural enemy preparations that are mainly used today are roughly divided into "natural enemy insects" (including phytoseiid predatory mites) and "natural enemy nematodes" according to the type of organism used as the active ingredient. It seems that there are also different classifications of "predatory natural enemies" and "parasitic natural enemies" depending on the difference in ecology, whether they eat or lay eggs. Most are limited to use in greenhouse cultivation, but I have heard that some natural enemy preparations can also be used in outdoor cultivation, including fruit trees. I forgot to mention that in Gunma Prefecture, Yayoi Hime Strawberries grown in Fujioka City and Tomioka City start shipping in early December, and reach their peak from March to May. Yayoi Hime was created by crossbreeding “Tonehoppe Strawberry” from Gunma Prefecture and “Tochiochime Strawberry” from Tochigi Prefecture. Then, it is told as a famous story. It is the main variety in Gunma Prefecture, and is characterized by its "strong flavor" compared to other varieties. Effect of Roof Sprinkling on Strawberry Variety 'Yayoi Hime' Raising Greenhouse Environment and Harvest Start Time : Excerpt from Gunma Prefectural Agricultural Technology Center Research Report No. 16 (2019): Effect of roof watering on nursery nursery greenhouse environment, harvest start time and yearly yield. As an inexpensive and simple facility cooling method for seedling greenhouses, we examined the effect of roof watering using the vaporization heat of water sprinkled from a watering tube installed on the roof of the greenhouse. It seems that by sprinkling water on the roof of the nursery house during the daytime on a sunny day, it was possible to suppress the temperature rise in the greenhouse by an average of 2°C. In a year when the temperature in early September is normal or above normal, strawberry flowers can be grown by sprinkling water on the roof. Sprout differentiation is promoted, the start of harvest is earlier, and the yield within the year is increased. The temperature in Gunma Prefecture rises year by year for a long period of time. According to observations by the Maebashi Local Meteorological Observatory (Ote Town), the average annual temperature has risen by 1.9°C per 100 years, and the number of midsummer days (with a maximum temperature of 30°C or higher) has increased by 36 days per 100 years). This change. In addition to global warming, the heat island phenomenon caused by urbanization is also thought to have an impact, and it seems that the temperature is expected to rise further in the future. This rising trend in temperature. In particular, it seems that it is becoming difficult for many items to grow vegetables in greenhouses in the summer. One of those items is strawberries. In the forcing type, which accounts for most of the strawberry production in the prefecture, summer is the seedling raising period. Seedlings are sometimes grown outdoors, but in recent years, it seems that more and more seedlings are grown inside facilities to avoid the risk of disease outbreaks. Since flower bud differentiation is induced by low temperature and short days in strawberries, it seems that it has been expected that flower bud differentiation will be induced by a drop in temperature after mid-August. However, due to the rising temperature trend in recent years, There is a growing tendency for high temperatures to continue even after mid-August, and there is concern that the flower bud differentiation of strawberries will be delayed. flower bud differentiation. A delay leads to a delay in the start of harvest. Strawberries tend to be shipped at a higher unit price the earlier they are shipped, so delaying the start of harvesting is disadvantageous for management. In particular, the cultivar "Yayoi Hime Ichigo" bred in Gunma Prefecture has the characteristic that the flower bud differentiation time is late among the varieties for forcing cultivation, so further delay in flower bud differentiation due to high temperature will have a big impact on management. For this reason, in raising seedlings of strawberry "Yayoi Hime". It seems that countermeasures against high temperatures are becoming an important issue. In addition, as a cooling method that lowers the inside temperature of the greenhouse below the outside air, a refrigerator that mechanically cools (or heat pump for both cooling and heating pump), evaporative cooling that cools by evaporating water, such as fine fog cooling and pad and fan, and methods that use the heat of groundwater. However, these facilities have high installation and maintenance costs, and there seems to be a risk of overinvestment in small-scale management entities. Although less effective than these cooling methods, roof watering seems to be a simple way to control the temperature rise inside the greenhouse. In addition, roof watering is a technology that cools the inside of the greenhouse by sprinkling water on the roof of the greenhouse, and the heat of vaporization when the sprinkled water evaporates cools the surface of the roof to the wet bulb temperature. The installation cost is low, and it seems that it can be easily installed and removed by combining materials available at home centers. Therefore, in this study, roof watering to strawberry seedling greenhouses seems to have investigated the effects of temperature inside the greenhouse and the differentiation of strawberry flower buds. Development and dissemination of dried processed products using the cultivated variety "Yayoi Hime Strawberry" (Gunma Prefecture, Dry Yayoi Hime Association established in 2013, whole Gunma Prefecture): Development of additive-free dry processing technology Gunma Prefecture agricultural technology. It seems that the premise is that it will be done at the center, and the equipment will be a small hot air dryer that is inexpensive and easy for producers to use. In addition, it will be a place where producers, processors, and sellers can share information and work together to improve each other. As a result, it seems that Dry Yayoi Hime Council has been launched. It seems that the goal of the initiative is to increase income by utilizing unused products and to promote sales of fresh fruits by improving the name recognition of the variety by enabling PR activities even during the period when there are no fresh fruits. In addition, as a feature of the initiative based on the aggressive agriculture, forestry and fisheries, it is not only the development of drying processing technology, but also the establishment of a council to organically connect producers, processors, and sellers, which had previously existed as dots. It seems This will promote establishment in the region, expansion of areas where we are working, and development of new demand advance. It seems that this is an initiative by a variety of business operators, including secondary and tertiary business operators that utilize the ideas of companies in addition to efforts led by farmers. As a further height and growth, we will train the second processing leaders, and train the second processing leaders with the initial processors involved in the establishment of the council as leaders. Enhancing the production and distribution system, stabilizing the quality at a high level, holding information exchange meetings, ensuring thorough compliance with quality standards, and raising awareness through eye alignment meetings. As a new secondary processed product, we are responding to new inquiries such as French restaurants and French pastry shops. According to a research report, the effect of carbon dioxide application on yield and quality in the cultivation of Gunma Prefecture-grown strawberry cultivar Yayoi Hime will be examined for three years from 2020 to 2022. When the carbon dioxide gas concentration in the greenhouse was controlled at his 600 ppm, the number of fruits and the average weight per fruit increased, compared with no application. 14-29% yield at 400 ppm, 5-10% increase at 400 ppm. In addition, the cost-effectiveness associated with the application of carbon dioxide seems to have improved, as the revenue accompanying the increase in sales exceeded the necessary expenses for both 600 ppm and 400 ppm. In addition, the measurement of carbon dioxide concentration in the greenhouse and the effect of carbon dioxide application on yield and quality were investigated. In recent years, there have been cases in which environmental control technology has been introduced at greenhouse fruit and vegetable production sites to improve productivity, and it seems that the interest of producers is increasing. Environmental control technology can improve can be cultivated efficiently. Expected effects include an increase in yield due to an increase in photosynthetic rate and suppression of pests by controlling humidity. Strawberry cultivation in Gunma Prefecture continues to decrease in the number of producers and the production area. As a means to overcome the current situation, It seems that the introduction of the environmental control technology mentioned above is expected. Among the environmental control technologies, carbon dioxide is said to be particularly effective in growing strawberries. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the greenhouse is higher than that in the outside air. Seems to be on the decline. Therefore, it seems that the carbon dioxide required for photosynthesis is in short supply. Carbon dioxide application is a technology that actively increases the concentration of carbon dioxide gas in greenhouses by applying liquefied carbon dioxide raw gas or by burning LP gas or kerosene, increasing the efficiency of photosynthesis. In the prefecture, it seems that there are few producers who apply carbon dioxide during the daytime, but I hear that there are high expectations for carbon dioxide application technology to revitalize the production area, as it is an effective means of increasing yields. National and prefectural research institutes have reported on the effects of carbon dioxide application on the yield and quality of strawberries, but there seems to be little knowledge about the effect on 'Yayoi Hime Strawberry', the main variety in Gunma Prefecture. However, even in Hokota City, the number of farmers gradually adopting this cultivation method seems to be increasing. ステビア農法(stevia farming) : It has been used as a medicinal herb since ancient times, and incorporates stevia, a known sweetener. By using fertilizer, the sweetness of stevia affects strawberries, increasing the sweetness, rich in vitamins and minerals, and tending to improve the shelf life. In addition to detoxifying and decomposing pesticide residues and dioxins, it greatly reduces the amount of nitrate nitrogen and activates the function of organic fertilizer. Research shows that the health of people living in the area has improved. ステビア;アマハステビア: Stevia rebaudiana 栽培(Histamine(ヒスタミン)is an active amine with the molecular formula C5H9N3 and a molecular weight of 111.14, and has been studied for its effective detoxification.)It's an Asteraceae plant native to Paraguay and is rich in nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. Decomposes residual chemical substances by giving stevia extract, which has the effect of detoxifying dioxin and nicotine, to crops. In order to activate effective microorganisms, the soil that easily holds moisture and nutrients in the aggregate structure is activated.「A microorganism that retains a large amount of inorganic nitrogen.」Prevents pathogens and absorbs nutrients needed by crops. In addition, many hair roots cause absorption of calcium and magnesium, which makes plant physiology difficult. There is a tendency to produce healthy, long-lasting crops with good tension and strong tree vigor and less susceptibility to disease. The leaves contain sweet components such as stevioside and rebaudioside, which are surprising because they show about 300 times the sweetness of sugar.『やよいひめ』は, 1997年に群馬県園芸試験場(現: 群馬県農業技術センター, 佐波郡東村)において,(「とねほっぺ」×「とちおとめ」)に「とねほっぺ:(Nyoho(女峰)is bred to the selection line of the United States introduction type and raised.)」を, 交配. After being selected from the seedlings, we continued to investigate the characteristics while proliferating and confirmed in 2001 that the characteristics were stable. The filing date is November 21, 2001, which is the date of publication of the application, March 25, 2002. The variety registration date is 2005/01/19, and it will be about four years later.(Fragaria L.; 登録番号12576, 群馬県前橋市大手町一丁目1番1号)The fruits are cone-shaped and large, and the color of the peel is bright red, which is suitable for forcible cultivation with short dormancy.(Famous as an original variety of Gunma prefecture)It features a refined orange-red color, a large, firm pulp, and a good balance of sweetness and sourness. At a supermarket in Tokyo, I look at Vegetables from Hokota in love. Present: Mayor of Kishida. The purpose of formulating this plan as the current situation and issues regarding the agriculture and livestock industry and the sixth industrialization in Hokota City. While it is becoming difficult to secure profits due to sluggish sales prices of agricultural, forestry and fishery products and soaring prices of production materials, farmers, foresters and fishermen are working to integrate production, processing, and distribution (sales) using local resources as materials to increase their income. It seems that the 6th industrialization is progressing in various places, such as regional businesses in collaboration with secondary and tertiary industries. The city will also utilize the characteristics of agricultural and livestock products produced in the city to develop new products for the sixth industrialization, processing technology for such products, market development, and support measures for the city. In order to make the agriculture and livestock industry a further growth industry, this plan was formulated. Currently, due to geography and topography, the city is located in the southeastern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, from the northernmost part to the central part of the Rokko area, the prefectural capital Mito City, The Kashima Coastal Industrial Zone is within 30 km, Tsukuba Science City is within 50 km, and the capital of Tokyo is within 90 km. Oarai Town and Ibaraki Town in the north, Omitama City and Namegata City in the west, and the south Kashima City borders on the Kashima Sea to the east, stretching 24 km north-south and 17 km east-west. The eastern coast of the city is formed by the Kashima plateau, and the southwestern part is formed by the Namekata plateau, and the area around Shin-Hokota station in between is the central city. Route 51, National Route 354 leading to Namegata City, and the Oarai-Kashima Line of the Kashima Rinkai Railway connecting Mito City, Oarai Town, Mito City, and Kashima City. There are 6 stations: Tokushuku Station, Shin-Hokota Station, Kitaurakohan Station, and Taiyo Station. In addition, the Hokota River, Tomoe River, and Oya River flow, and paddy fields spread out in their tributaries. The area is blessed with a rich natural environment, bordering on Hinuma Swamp to the north, Kitaura Swamp to the south, and Kashima Sea to the east. It will be repeated later, but it is important, so write it down. In addition, the city's agricultural output is high even within Ibaraki Prefecture, which is a production base for agricultural products in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and is the number one producer in Japan. It is one of the leading agricultural areas in the country where various items such as melons, rice, vegetables, and fruit trees are produced. In recent years, price competition with imported agricultural products, intensifying competition between domestic production areas, consumer trends seeking freshness, deliciousness, and pesticide-free products, changes in the government's long-adopted rice production adjustment policy, and environmental impact It seems that the nature of agriculture is also changing with the times, such as the development of sustainable agriculture with less waste. In order to aim for an agricultural city in such an era, he argues that it is necessary to always start from the consumer's point of view and consider how agriculture should be from production to distribution and consumption. In particular, the development of agriculture that coexists with the environment is an urgent issue for the city. It seems that they are trying to strengthen the  On February 21, 2006, the Environmentally Friendly Agriculture Rokko Region Promotion Council (Prefectural Rokko Regional General Office Agriculture and Forestry Section), the Hokota City Regional Recycling Agricultural System Development Promotion Council (Hokota City), and the Hokota Region Soil Development A compost application demonstration by the Movement Promotion Liaison Council (Hokota Regional Agricultural Improvement and Extension Center) is being held using a field and a vinyl house in Funaki, Hokota City. In addition, we are also involved in the production and stable supply of high-quality rice, the maintenance of fields such as soil improvement necessary to convert from rice cultivation to highly profitable agricultural products, and the improvement of productivity by improving fields (soil preparation) to prevent continuous cropping failures. Looks like it needs to be worked on. As the number of people engaged in farming is increasing and the number of people engaged in agriculture is declining and aging, the living environment is changing, such as mixed living in rural villages, and abandoned farmland is becoming scattered. Apparently. Under such circumstances, it seems that the securing of bearers has become an urgent issue for the sake of a stable food supply into the future. At the same time, I hear that the establishment of an agricultural management system that meets the needs of the times and the effective use of abandoned farmland are becoming issues. In terms of livestock, it boasts one of the highest output values ​​in Japan, and seems to maintain stable management. However, due to the threat of livestock epidemics such as foot-and-mouth disease and avian influenza, and the growing interest in environmental issues, it seems that thorough breeding management will become an issue in the future. Furthermore, it seems that it is in a difficult situation, such as the damage caused by the scattering of radioactive materials due to the earthquake and the Fukushima nuclear accident, as well as the damage caused by rumors, the aging population, and the lack of successors. Therefore, by supporting safe and secure agricultural products, corporatizing agriculture, and promoting sixth industrialization through collaboration with commerce, industry, and tourism, we will improve the added value of high-quality and abundant agricultural products, It seems that it is necessary to proceed to generate income and further grow agriculture. The construction of a humanitarian bridge on the Taiyo Elementary School road in Hokota City, Ibaraki Prefecture, which will open on April 6, 2022, has been delayed, and the method of attending school for some children has not been finalized. It seems that he held a briefing session for the parents of the target children at the Taiyo Community Center in Japan and showed an alternative plan. At the briefing session, the 7th overpass (a bridge that straddles the railroad track), which has no sidewalk over the Kashima Rinkai Railway Orai Kashima Line, near the same small school, or about 300 m southeast of the small school, is green. It seems to be a plan to use one of the 8th overpass with the roadside belt. In both cases, as a safety measure, it seems that the staff of the City Education Committee will be on the lookout when going to and from school. Since the width of the 7th overpass is narrow, the construction of the humanitarian bridge was planned to be completed in line with the opening of the school as a safety measure for children commuting to school on foot. At the school briefing in February, he reported a delay in construction. The city board of education considered a plan to transfer about 30 affected children by public bus until the completion, but it seems that the related budget was not approved at the March regular meeting of the city council. Parents have requested and commented that the overpass will be closed when going to and from school, and the 8th overpass will be a detour. It is strange that safety measures have not been taken at this point. It seems that there were voices blaming the delay in responding. Children are the treasure of the future. I frankly think that my parents are right. At the beginning of the briefing session, the superintendent of education apologized, “We apologize for the great concern and inconvenience.” The city board of education will squeeze the details of the alternatives based on the opinions of the briefing session and will hold the briefing session again. Regarding this issue, it seems that a petition for the development of a safe school route has been submitted to the city, etc., along with the signatures of 1434 people. Due to the delay in the construction of the humanitarian bridge and the undecided method for some children to go to school, the City Board of Education held a parent information session at the Taiyo Public Hall in Kumiage on the night of April 2, and the route to use the 7th overpass Seems to have agreed. The consent was obtained for a section of about 350 m on the city road, including the 7th overpass over the Kashima Rinkai Railway Orai Kashima Line on the southeast side of the same small area. Since there are no sidewalks on the overpass, when going to and from school, city board staff and small teachers will be on the lookout for the bridge at three locations, the start and end points of the bridge, the middle point, and two intersections that connect to the bridge. It seems to urge the vehicle to detour or stop. Since the completion of the humanitarian bridge is not yet in sight, it seems that other safety measures will be considered while responding by standing. The superintendent of education said, “Protecting the safety of children is the first priority. Although the immediate response has been decided, we would like to continue to cooperate with schools and parents to take safety measures.” There is also an opinion that things outside the school, school routes and school groups are the territory of kid's associations and parents. Whether it is within the category, teachers should allocate other working hours. It's a pity to be eaten even in such a place. There seems to be some opinions that the local government should do something if the construction is delayed. It seems that there are 169 road bridges managed by Hokota City by March 2020. Of these, the number of bridges that were erected before 1960 and have been in service for more than 50 years is as small as 2.4% (4 bridges) of the total, but the number of bridges has increased sharply since the 1970s, especially from 1970 to 1990. It seems that 102 bridges account for about 60% of the total number of bridges that have been in service for about 20 to less than 40 years because the construction has been energetically advanced until the year. As for the current status of managed bridges, most of the bridges have been in service for 30 to 40 years, followed by 40 to 50 years, except for unknown years of service, and most of the bridges have been in service for less than 40 years. It seems. There are only a few bridges with a service life of 50 years or more, which is a guideline for the useful life, and the bridges in Hokota City seem to be relatively young. However, about 27% of bridges will be in service for 50 years or more in 10 years, but about 73% of bridges will be in service for 50 years or more in 20 years, and 87% of bridges will be in service in 30 years. It seems that it will be over 50 years. Not only Hokota, but if it is in charge of local administration, it will never disappear and it will be an important matter for future town development. Against this background, it seems indispensable to take measures to reduce the cost of repairing and replacing bridges, which are expected to increase in the future, as much as possible. In order to reduce the financial burden in the future and ensure the safety of road traffic, the city seems to have formulated a bridge life extension repair plan in March 2013 and proceeded with the repair based on the plan. In addition, the 8th amendment of the general account to add 360.47 million yen was submitted to the 4th regular meeting of the city council from December 3 to 18, 2020, and on December 4, 129.5 million yen(Proposed additional 9th ​​amendment to add 129.5 million yen on December 4th). In the 8th amendment, the installation project cost of children's playset in the city gymnasium, the survey of the humanitarian bridge that will be the school route of Taiyo Elementary School, the design consignment fee, etc. It is recorded. The Japan-Indonesia Economic Partnership Agreement has been signed between the two countries on cooperation in a wide range of fields such as liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment, movement of natural persons, energy and mineral resources, intellectual property, and improvement of business environment. Under the agreement, it will come into effect on July 1, 2008. HE Heri Akhmadi, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Indonesia to Japan and others visited Hokota City Hall in Ibaraki Prefecture on March 18, 2022 to deepen exchanges in fields such as agriculture and education, and met with Mayor Kishida. It seems. As of February 2022, 544 people are living in Hokota, where agriculture is flourishing, including accepting technical intern trainees from the country. At the meeting, opinions were exchanged on the actual situation of the trainees. Akhmadi said, “I wish I could deepen the cooperative relationship with Hokota City in agriculture and education.” He positions the acquisition of Japanese as important as a preparation for the trainees who come to Japan, and hopes that he will cooperate by dispatching instructors to educational institutions. As part of that, it seems that they have shown cooperation for a friendship city tie-up between local governments. Mayor Kishida seems to have agreed, "There are more Indonesian people in the city, so I would like to continue to have a connection." At the same time, we are promoting special products such as melons and sweet potatoes, which boast the highest agricultural output by municipality in Japan. Indonesia is the ally of ASEAN and its headquarters is located in Jakarta. It is a leader in both name and reality in Southeast Asia, which is developing rapidly. In 2011, the Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono administration announced the master plan for large-scale infrastructure development plans, "Economic Development Acceleration / Expansion Master Plan (MP3EI)". By increasing the nominal GDP by 2025 by about 6 times compared to 2010, it has set a high goal of becoming one of the world's 10 largest economies. However, the plan is scheduled for 2015, along with six corridors running through the archipelago, Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali-Nusa Tungara, and Papua-Marc, along with ICT, oil and gas, and steel. It was in the name of developing 22 major economic activities such as transportation vehicles. The investigation of the master plan began in May 2011, and the plan was approved by the steering committee of the Japanese and Indonesian government ministers in October 2012. By arranging sub-centers around Jakarta, the Jakarta metropolitan area as of 2030 with the goal of shifting from a centralized structure in the central city area of Jakarta to a multi-polar decentralized structure, alleviating traffic congestion and improving disaster prevention resistance. City vision is stipulated. In addition to the city vision, the overall plan for infrastructure development that the Jakarta metropolitan area should achieve by 2020 and the identification of 45 priority infrastructure projects, of which 20 early implementation projects that should be implemented early will be promoted. It was mentioned. In addition, the Indonesian economy is recovering in the headwind of the new coronavirus, and the inflation rate is also on a moderate upward trend. However, according to a recent survey, the economic growth rate in 2020 is -4.5%, which is the lowest after the war due to the influence of the new corona virus. Going back, the economic growth rate in 2019 is as low as -0.7%. This was a big negative due to the impact of the new Corona in the first quarter of 2019 after the decline due to the reaction to the introduction of the consumption tax in the fourth quarter of 2018. In addition, the economic growth rate in 2018 was 0.2%, the lowest in the last four years. Don't forget to ask. According to the Rokko Regional Office Union Fire Department in Ibaraki Prefecture, a boat carrying two men who were conducting a water quality survey on Lake Hinuma overturned about 700 m off the south bank around 3:00 pm on February 6, 2022. It seems that a man walking along the lakeshore found men who were caught in a boat and asked for help, and asked a nearby fisherman to help him by phone. The two went to rescue on a fishing boat and cooperated to pull up the men. Unfortunately, one person died in the accident, and one was diagnosed with hypothermia but survived. At the time of the accident, the wind was strong and high waves were rising, and the temperature was low. At the presentation ceremony held at the same station in Awa, the city, the chief firefighter thanked the two men who carried out rescue operations under adverse conditions, saying, “Neither of them could have been saved without a prompt response from the two.” is doing. They told officials that they couldn't pretend they didn't know as a person. On March 7, we presented a letter of appreciation to two men in Minowa, Hokota City, for their achievements in saving lives in a water accident. Pure Green Agri® Co., Ltd. seems to be making various efforts to maintain the quality of agricultural products. It seems that the safety of agricultural products is ensured by sharing technical information on a daily basis, improving the level of each union member, and conducting quality inspections once a week and a variety review meeting.

Pure Green Agri seems to have acquired Hokota City's original GAP (Good Agricultural Practice) and “Hokomaru GAP” certification. It seems that Hokomaru GAP visits union member's homes to perform audits and guidance. In addition, I hear that each union member undergoes a pesticide residue inspection and soil inspection at least once a year. It seems that he participates in pesticide training and receives guidance on prevention of accidents caused by pesticides and proper use. In addition, the “cultivation management table” is published once a month on the website. In the cultivation management table, the house number cultivated from sowing to shipping, the fertilizer (chemical / organic) used there, and the name and amount of pesticides are described. You can easily access it from the QR code on the wrapping film. I hear that they are trying to grow safe and secure vegetables by disclosing information openly without hiding it. It seems that traceability is also in place.

Oodo's Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn(Indian soapberry): City natural monument - The light candy-colored fruit is impressive. When peeled, a black seed appears from inside. The seeds are used for the black balls on the wings of the New Year play battledore and shuttlecock. The real skin was used as a detergent in the past. That's because when you rub it in water, bubbles form and it's suitable for removing dirt. Minowa: ‘Tokushuku Castle: Designated as a city historic site’, Built by Mr. Tokushuku's first Chikamoto at the end of the Heian period. He had been Shimotsuke no jo (local official for the Shimotsuke Province) before, but, by his merit of hunting down TAIRA no Masakado, he was promoted to Jushiinoge (Junior Forth Rank, Lower Grade) and appointed to the post of kokushi (provincial governors) for the Shimotsuke and Musashi Provisions as well as Chinju-fu shogun (Commander-in-Chief of the Defense of the North) and increased his power. After passing through the castle monument, climb the stairs at the entrance, and you will see a waist from the southwest to the south on your right. When you climb the stairs, you will find the main shrine, the Inari Shrine, the stone monument of Tokushuku monument to the memorial service, and the Hokyo into. etc. Father Narimoto Kashima is the 7th generation from Taira no Kunika(Takamochi did not return to Kyoto after he served out his term, and his sons Kunika filled the post of Hitachi no daijo (Senior Secretary of Hitachi Province) and Yoshimasa of Chinju-fu shogun (Commander-in-Chief of the Defense of the North)), who follows the tradition of Emperor Kanmu, and governs Kashima District at the will of the Hitachi Daijo clan.

The traffic of humans and horses and the distribution of goods centered on marine products became popular, and agricultural products were also shipped to the Edo area. Minowa(Former Asahi Village), It is right next to the producer's field. Mizu shrine and Yagami shrine: It's small, quietly blended into the area, and has an old-fashioned atmosphere like “the god of the village Guardian”. When you go up the old stone stairs, there is a stone monument next to the shrine, and the origin of the shrine is engraved. Yamato takeru no mikoto is eastern expedition - Take a boat from Kashima City Tsunoori (formerly Ono Village) and land near Kamigama, Hokota City. After that, I went inland and took a rest for a while on the south bank of Hinuma(Brackish water lake of Nakagawa water system).

The route and place of stay of Tosei are different between Kojiki and Nihonshoki. There are various theories about this, but there was also a legend that stopped by this place near Hinuma. 造谷 - 厳島神社本殿 : Konaji Ground -Worshipped deity ; 市杵島姫命(A pillar of the Three Goddesses of Munakata, the god of water.)- It is said that the company welcomed the spirit from Itsukushima in Aki on New Year's Day in 1265.

The former Funaki Elementary School was closed in the spring of 2016. The old Yoshino cherry tree that blooms in the middle of the schoolyard is a famous cherry blossom that goes along with the history of the school. According to “Public Relations Hokota”, the school opened in 1909, and the cherry blossoms in the center of the schoolyard are old trees over 100 years old. Currently, the school building has been demolished, but the cherry blossoms seem to remain. The nearest stations in the vicinity are Kashima Asahi Station (Kashima Rinkai Railway) : Distance: 4167 m (52 minutes on foot), Tokushuku Station (Kashima Rinkai Railway) : Distance: 4605 m (57 minutes on foot). Last but not least, the spinach producer Mr. Junichi OTSUKA is Pindone. It is developed and sold by Sakata Seed Corporation, a long-established seed company. Although it is a characteristic, it has excellent low-temperature extensibility, and it seems that it tends to grow easily when it is warm. By distributing the growth to many leaves, the growth due to warmth is minimized. The characteristics that are resistant to cold and can cope with warmth seem to be very effective not only in green house cultivation but also in open-field cultivation in autumn and winter, which are easily affected by weather. It seems that the large number of leaves also leads to the goodness of the size of the leaves. Not only did the yield increase, but it also seemed to be easier to pack in FG bags and look better in the packaging. It can be cultivated with peace of mind, can be harvested easily, and is of high quality and yields. It seems to be the best variety for both producers who find it difficult to cultivate and those who want to aim for even higher profits.  Managed in the same way as normal autumn-sown varieties. Since it is not a type that requires water to grow, it seems that irrigating it so that it does not become too dry is sufficient for green house cultivation. In warm regions, it can be cultivated without covering in the open field, but in the January-February shipment of open-field cultivation in general areas, it seems that covering cultivation with punch film etc. is good. The Ibaraki Prefecture Hokota City Tourism & Local Products Association is implementing a project in collaboration with the idol training game "Idolmaster: Shiny Colors (Shanimas)" produced by the game giant "Bandai Namco Entertainment (Shiba, Minato Ward, Tokyo: Bandai Namco Future Research Institute)". In addition to selling limited goods at two specialty product direct sales stores in the city, it seems that life-size panels of game characters were installed at each store until December 25, 2022.




Gunma Prefecture has released the analysis results of the prefecture's strawberry "Yayoi Hime Strawberry". Compared to "Tochiotome Strawberry'' from Tochigi Prefecture and "Amaou Strawberry'' from Fukuoka Prefecture, it is said to have a stronger sweetness and larger grains. Launched at the end of 2019, the G-analyze & PR team (analyzes ingredients related to taste and health of agricultural and livestock products produced in Gunma Prefecture, communicates the results to consumers, and reports consumer reactions to agricultural production sites and technical guidance) A project team consisting of officials from the Prefectural Department of Agricultural Administration and research, sales promotion, and production promotion of agricultural and livestock products. The taste of strawberries was quantified and evaluated in eight items: sweetness, sourness, richness, strength of taste, umami, richness, astringency, and lingering aftertaste. When the three varieties were analyzed under the same conditions, it seems that Yayoi-hime-ichigo exceeded Amaou-ichigo and Tochiotome-ichigo in seven items, excluding sourness. Each grain of this superior produce weighed an average of about 20 grams, apparently more than the other two varieties. It seems that the health functional ingredients such as polyphenols and vitamin C, which have antioxidant properties, were about the same as the other two varieties.

Yayoi Hime Strawberry produced by Mr.  Makoto, the second generation owner of Daishoji Farm. The strawberries he makes are so delicious that everyone from children to adults is addicted to eating one.
Stevia farming is a generic term for dioxins (Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds), polychlorinated dibenzoparadioxins (PCDD), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF), and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL-PCB). It is a chemical that is released when plastic is burned in a garbage factory. It is said to be the strongest and worst poison created by mankind. When this substance enters the body, it causes various diseases such as cancer. In addition, there are cases where babies do not grow up in the womb and babies born with malformations when they enter the body of women.) and nicotine (C10H14N2: alkaloid A type of highly neurotoxic poison. As a chemical substance, it is designated as a poisonous substance. It is contained in tobacco leaves and is taken into the body from smoke when smoking. Nicotine in the blood spreads rapidly throughout the body. Center When it binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) in nerves, it acts on a neural circuit called the reward system and brings about a feeling of comfort. This mechanism causes strong drug dependence, which makes it difficult to quit smoking. In addition, it has a strong vasoconstrictive effect, which constricts capillaries and raises blood pressure. It is addictive, and if a child accidentally eats tobacco leaves, he or she may become poisoned and even die.) By giving crops a stevia extract, which has the effect of detoxifying toxins, etc., the residual chemical substances are decomposed and effective microorganisms are activated. In addition, since many microorganisms that retain a lot of inorganic nitrogen gather in the rhizosphere, it seems that the soil is reborn so that it can prevent pathogens and absorb nutrients when the crops need it. In addition, since many hair roots are produced, calcium and magnesium are absorbed in a large amount, and it seems that physiological disorders of the plant do not occur. As a result, the roots are well stretched, the trees are strong, and the crops are healthy and long-lasting, making them less susceptible to disease.

The Chiba Eco(Engineering Change Order)Agricultural Product Certification System was started in 2002 as an agricultural product certification system unique to Chiba Prefecture that considers environmental conservation and food safety and security. Chemically synthesized pesticides and chemical fertilizers are used less than half of the usual amount. In hydroponics, only chemically synthesized pesticides are said to be less than half of the usual amount. The producers of "Chiba Eco Agricultural Products" carefully record their work, such as "what pesticides were used and when." In addition, two inspections are conducted before cultivation and before harvest. "Chiba Eco Agricultural Products" starts cultivating after planning the cultivation work in advance and undergoing an inspection. In addition, before being harvested, it seems that they will be shipped after confirming once again that they have been cultivated according to the standards. "Chiba eco-agriculture" is an eco-friendly farming method that uses less than half of the usual amount of synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers, and supports us from the ground up. One of the environmental measures that Japan has already adopted is the "Global Warming Countermeasure Tax," which is a type of carbon tax that is levied on the use of fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas. The global warming countermeasure tax started on October 1, 2012, and as of February 2022, the tax rate is set to be 289 japanese yen per ton of carbon dioxide emissions.

慕香和歌集: On March 17, 1844, it was dedicated at the time of the 250th anniversary of the death of Yoshimasa Kiso at Chizan School of Shingon Buddhism Tozenji Temple in Shimousa Province. According to one theory, the city name "Asahi'' is a descendant of Yoshinaka Kiso, who was called "Asahi Shogun,'' and he wrote a poem about him who died here. 信濃より いつる旭をしたひきて 東の国にあととどめけむ. This poem was written in 1844 by Kengyo Ashihara (1797-1857: an acupuncturist in the late Edo period) who claims to be a descendant of the Kiso family. After serving the clan, he gained the trust of the three branches of the Tokugawa family (Owari, Kii and Mito) and was appointed court physician (of the Shogun and his household, Edo period). Takamasa Nonoguchi, a scholar of Japanese classical literature in Kyoto at the "250th anniversary of the death of Yoshimasa.'' (1793-1871), a collection of 400 poems submitted at that time, which is designated as a cultural property of the city.

A theory that it originated from the zitomate of the Aztecs, a Mesoamerican civilization that prospered in central Mexico in North America for about 95 years from around 1428 to 1521, became cimate in Spain, and became a tomato in the 17th century. It seems to be derived from the fact that was called tomati.

On March 12, 2011, I still vividly recall the front of JA Chiba Midori's Iioka branch in Asahi City, Chiba Prefecture, which was buried in rubble and mud. Ever since that time, the people of the region have been honest, have a strong faith in reconstruction, and their warm eyes are still fresh in our memory. Chiba Midori Agricultural Cooperative is located in the northeastern part of Chiba Prefecture, in a warm area with high agricultural productivity with various soil conditions such as sandy loam, loam, clay soil, and volcanic ash soil consisting of the Toso Plateau and the Kujukuri Plain. JA was born in January 2001 as one. As a production area that has been built up over many years, the members of the cooperative work hard at production while learning from the hardships and efforts of their predecessors, and bring benefits to us. The production situation in the jurisdiction is divided into upland farming, rice farming, livestock farming, dairy farming, fruit trees, and plants, and it seems that a wide variety of agricultural products are produced and sold. Taking advantage of the characteristics of early cultivation of rice, we are working on specially cultivated rice with reduced pesticides and chemical fertilizers, and for vegetables, we produce 60 items a year, including outdoor and indoor vegetables, and have many branded products. Agricultural product sales in FY2020 were 22,637,870,000 yen for horticulture, 1,776,450,000 yen for agricultural products, and 3,853,280,000 yen for livestock. As of the end of December 2022, the number of union members is 20,854, supporting future children from the Japanese dining table. As an overview of green onion production in the Sosa area, long onion cultivation in the jurisdiction has a long history, and it seems that it began in the Hikari-machi district (now Yokoshibahikari-machi) in the 1955s. Currently, the cultivation area has expanded to Sosa City and Asahi City, and it seems that the long green onions produced in the jurisdiction are branded as high-quality "Hikari green onion". Cultivation is in autumn / winter, spring, satsuki satsuki, and summer, and 700,000 cases are shipped annually. In 1994, a central collection and shipping facility equipped with a pre-cooling storage facility began operation, enabling further quality improvement and shipping in accordance with customer requests. In recent years, the company has faced various challenges, such as an increase in cheap imported green onions, outbreaks of pests that are difficult to control, and the aging of producers. It seems that they are working to maintain and improve the brand's production area. “地球の丸く見える丘展望館”, Located at the top of Mt. Atago, the highest in the northeastern part of the prefecture. I realized that the earth is round in the scenery seen from the rooftop observation space. Sunny day-You can see Mt. Fuji and Mt.

Soil improvement by applying organic matter such as ripe compost for soil preparation, appropriate based on soil analysis By practicing proper fertilization, they are trying to cultivate tomato's original power. It seems that they are working on cultivation in compliance with the unified fertilization standards and pest control standards considered by all producers. As a method to reduce the use of pesticides, greenhouse Insect repellent nets are installed at the ventilation openings, etc. to prevent pests from entering. Adhesive sheets are installed to attract and kill invaded pests with color. Lanotape, etc., is used to control pests without direct contact of pesticides with crops. In order to supply safe and excellent agricultural products, we use as little pesticides as possible and try to grow in consideration of the natural environment. Since 2004, we have been working on cultivating "cherry tomatoes", which are more safe agricultural products, and now we are promoting "Fukusei". Asahi City's tidal flat district (former tidal flat town), which is close to the Tokyo metropolitan area, is located in the northeastern part of Chiba Prefecture, within a range of about 80 kilometers from Tokyo, and has an average annual temperature. Blessed with a relatively mild climate of about 15 degrees Celsius, this area is rich in agriculture. Because it is close to the Tokyo metropolitan area, a wide variety of fresh vegetables are shipped to the market. As the birthplace of the world's first agricultural cooperative, Asahi City's tidal flats The district was the birthplace of the world's first agricultural cooperative, the Ancestral Kabu Association. Inheriting the spirit of the cooperative founded by Yugaku Ohara, the area continues to focus on promoting agriculture and boasts a wide variety of agricultural products. From the inspection system, the producers carefully select and sort the fruits before shipping. In addition, it seems that they are inspecting the entire amount of each pack at the time of shipment to the market. Improvement of cultivation technology and quality, cultivation seminars, assessment meetings. It seems that they hold regular study sessions such as, etc., strive to improve cultivation techniques and quality, and produce tomatoes that will please consumers with love.

The lesions enlarge and change from gray-green to gray-purple, and similar fungi appear on the surface of the leaves. Tomato sooty mildew (announced as a special report in April 2005 in Aichi Prefecture) is a disease that exhibits symptoms very similar to leaf mold. Leaf blight and sooty mildew may occur together. If symptoms such as those described above are observed in leaf mold-resistant cultivars, the possibility of sooty mildew seems to be high.)", which was difficult to control. It has a high quality rate. It is easy to cultivate because it does not produce abnormal stems.It has a high sugar content, less acidity in low temperatures, and a refreshing acidity in high temperatures that makes it easy to eat. Fruit weight is around 15-20 g. The fruit shape is a ball, and the fruit color is bright red.

JA Chiba Midori is located in the northeastern part of Chiba Prefecture, and has a variety of soil conditions, such as sandy loam, loam, clayey soil, and volcanic ash, consisting of the Toso Plateau and the Kujukuri Plain. It was established in January 2001 as one. As a production area built up over many years, the members of the cooperative work hard at production while learning from the hardships and efforts of their predecessors, supporting the foundation of Japanese agriculture. The production situation within the jurisdiction is divided into upland farming, rice farming, livestock, dairy farming, fruit trees, and plants, and a wide variety of agricultural products are produced and sold. Taking advantage of the characteristics of early cultivation, we are working on specially cultivated rice with reduced pesticides and chemical fertilizers, and we produce 60 types of vegetables annually, including outdoor and indoor vegetables, and many branded products embrace.



Asahi City can be roughly divided into the "coastal sand zone" bordering the Kujukuri coast, the "alluvial flat zone" including vast tidal flat cultivated land, and the "eastern Hokuso plateau zone" of the alluvial Kanto loam zone located in its hinterland. The tidal flat area belongs to the alluvial flat zone and the "Eastern Hokuso Plateau Zone". The field soil of the plateau is volcanic ash, the soil is loam, and the soil fertility is moderate. As for weather conditions, the average annual temperature is around 15°C, the annual rainfall is around 1,600 mm, and it is famous for its mild climate with almost no snow cover.


The tidal flats in Asahi City, which are under the jurisdiction of the same JA, are centered on upland farming, and in particular, greenhouse horticulture using vinyl greenhouses is popular. Japanese yam, a root vegetable, grows on the northern plateau at an altitude of 40 m to 50 m, edible chrysanthemum, Shishito pepper, and pickling melon, which began as rice paddy conversion crops in the 1965s in the southern paddy area at an altitude of 2.5 m to 5 m, and sandy loam soil. , cucumbers and cherry tomatoes are thriving.
Asahi City's JA Chiba Midori Tidal Flat Mini Tomato Committee is about
A shipping organization consisting of 40 producers, with many young producers. In recent years, we have improved the yield per unit and the rate of excellent products.
For this purpose, the necessity of environmental control has been recognized again, and it seems that the introduction of environmental monitoring equipment and carbon dioxide application machines in the facility is progressing. Environmental control is a technology that promotes the growth of plants by adjusting environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration within the facility to make it easier for plants to photosynthesize and suitable for growth. "Integrated Environmental Control Study Group NEXT". A producer in his thirties who introduced an environmental control system propulsively As a research group voluntarily formed by 11 young cherry tomato producers in the region, it is highly evaluated by those involved. In addition, by holding regular on-site review meetings once a month, we aim to deepen understanding among members about environmental control technology and establish technology. Seems to be In addition, they invite lecturers from environmental control equipment manufacturers to learn appropriate management methods that match the growth of plants, such as fertilization management and water management, which change due to environmental control. Participating young producers are to improve the cultivation environment while observing the results of tallying As a result, the yield increased by about 1.5 times compared to before environmental control was implemented. He is surprised and happy to hear that there are some producers who have achieved yields of 20 t / 10 a. In addition to the further increase in yield and the improvement of the excellent product rate, I have heard that they will continue to hold regular study sessions and on-site review meetings with the aim of standardizing cultivation management technology at a high level. In addition, in order to use equipment related to environmental control more efficiently, it seems that they are studying more appropriate management by accumulating analyzes of research member's facility environment data and yield data. In addition, the entire JA Chiba Midori Tidal Flat Mini Tomato Subcommittee disseminates the compilation of environmental control technology introduction cases by research members so that producers who are working to introduce new equipment related to environmental control can use the equipment smoothly.

Mythical Goto beef nurtured by the sea breeze: In the Goto Islands, Nagasaki Prefecture (Maru Goto: Kyushu consists of 11 inhabited islands and 52 uninhabited islands floating 100 km west of Nagasaki, and the beautiful sea and rich nature are impressive) It is beef from cows fattened in Japan, and the Goto Agricultural Cooperative has the trademark (regional collective trademark) right. When the age of a bovine tooth excavated from ruins in the city was measured, it was found to be from the middle Yayoi period and is said to be "one of the oldest bovine relics in Japan." Can be heard. In addition, the farmers of Goto have raised their beef with the same affection as their family since long ago, so Japanese Black Beef, a type of Tajima beef, has gained fame under the nickname 'Goto Beef'. In this way, the meat is raised with a lot of love and rich natural grass, and it seems that it is highly evaluated for its slightly different meat quality. Tajima beef is widely known as a petite and strong cattle that was born and raised with the people living here in the Tajima region of Hyogo Prefecture, which has many steep topography such as deep valleys. In addition, it has relatively thin bones, little subcutaneous fat, high-quality muscle fibers, and a perfect balance between lean meat and fatty meat.

In recent years, damage to crops and damage to the living environment by wild boars has increased. This makes it possible to visualize the damage situation on a map in real time, and it seems that it has led to results such as a significant improvement in capture efficiency. Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications supplementary budget for fiscal 2016. It seems that they decided to introduce a wildlife damage countermeasure system using ICT and implemented it from 2017. Okuura, Fukue Island, Goto City Wildlife damage countermeasures using a cloud-based geographic information system (GIS) in the district. We have installed 10 trap monitoring devices with notification functions and 10 monitoring cameras. By linking the infestation detection sensors and capture detection sensors of these devices with GIS, it is possible to notify and visualize in real time the situation such as the appearance and capture of wild birds and beasts. It seems that it can be done. Appearance detection sensor / capture detection sensor When the sensor detects the appearance of wild birds and beasts or the operation of a trap, it automatically takes a picture and sends an e-mail to the trapper registered as an address. It seems that the hunter will be able to quickly grasp the situation at the scene. GIS for wildlife damage countermeasures: Information from intrusion detection sensors and capture detection sensors is collected in real time and visualized on a map. In addition, by registering information on countermeasure equipment such as traps and fences, information related to wildlife damage countermeasures can be centrally managed.

【Product name

Goto Ruby (Frutica Tomato) 

【Type】

Solanum lycopersicum

【Producing area】
Matsuo, Tomie Town, Goto City, Nagasaki Prefecture(JA Goto, JA Zen-Noh Nagasaki)
【Origin of name】
From the point that it is sweet like fruit in midi tomato. Large ball tomato is a loan word from the English word "tomato", and according to Ekiken Kaibara(女大学(四書五経): 和俗童子訓, 巻5の女子ニ教ユル法)’s "Yamato Honzo (published in 1709)", it was introduced to Japan in 1708. The English word "tomato" comes from the indigenous Mexican Nahuatl word "tomatl," which means "bulging fruit," but "tomatl" seems to refer to the fruit of the blader cherry. In Mexico, "tomato" is called "xitimate" and "xitomatl", and "xi" is said to mean "peeled" and "round". When the Spanish, a country of passion, brought tomatoes (xitimate / xitomatl) back to Europe, they called them "tomate" from "tomatl" in Spanish. Although it was "tomate" in Portuguese, French, German, and early English, the Spanish word form has many words with "-o" at the end, and the nutritious "potato" that we love. It is said that it was drawn to the shape of "토마토" and changed to "tomato".
【Major features】
The most important issue for Goto City, Nagasaki Prefecture, seems to be countermeasures against population decline. At its peak in 1955, the population was 91,973, but as of the 2015 census it was 37,327. If the population decline continues at this pace, it is expected to reach around 12,000 by 2060. Therefore, in 2015, Goto City formulated the "Goto City Population Vision and Comprehensive Strategy for Vitalizing Town, People, and Jobs" with the goal of securing a population of 20,000 by 2060. Various measures are underway, including job creation, support for immigration, and expansion of the non-resident population. Temple 76: Seiryuzan Myosenji Temple, principal image: Jizo Bodhisattva, Shingon Buddhism Omuro Ninnaji Branch Temple. Founded in 1603. Morikiyo (1628-1679), who founded the Hizen-Goto Tomie clan, worshiped the mountain and made it a prayer temple. The origin of the mountain name "Seiryuzan" is said to be the auspicious sign from ancient times. It is said that dragons summon clouds and bring rain, so people prayed for rain at the summit of Mt. Seiryu. At the top of the mountain, there is a stone monument engraved with "Seiryuzan". Previously, a small stone shrine was enshrined inside the wooden building, but now the wooden building has decayed and there is only a small stone shrine. About one-third of the road approaching a shrine is steep, so stone steps are piled up. Behind the main hall is Bishamondo. Bishamonten is the guardian deity of Buddhism. He is one of the Four Heavenly Kings and protects the northern world. He is commonly depicted with a treasure stick in his right hand and a pagoda in his left, making him one of the Seven Deities of Good Luck. He is also called Vaisravana (one of the Four Heavenly Kings). In the first year of Kanbun (1661), Morikatsu (the 4th lord of the Fukue clan in Hizen Province and the 24th head of the Goto family) gave him 3,000 koku of rice in the Tomie territory by order of the shogunate. Goto 88 Kasyo Junrei: The 75th Zentsuji Domeizan Zuiunji Temple (Matsuo, Tomie Town) seems to have been built in 1611 as Zuigenji Temple. It was renamed to the current temple name in 1681. There is a sacred place for the feudal lord and wife at the family temple of the Tomie Goto family. In Nagasaki Prefecture, it is a sacred place opened for people who have difficulty in going to the 88 sacred places in Shikoku, and it seems that the beginning is said to be in the Taisho era. You can pilgrimage regardless of the time of year, but every spring and autumn you can go around with the guidance of the sacred place association, and at that time it seems that there is entertainment such as hot tea at each sacred place. Tomie Shrine regularly held festival is a festival that has continued for more than 300 years in the Tomie district of Fukue Island, Goto City, Nagasaki Prefecture, and seems to be held every year from October 14th to 17th for four days. On the 14th of the first day, a festival will be held from 7:00 pm and Tomie shinto music will be played. On the 15th of the second day, the regularly held festival is held from 10 am, and the transferral of a sacred object from its place of en shrinement of portable shrine (carried in festivals) is held from 3 pm. It seems that Tomie Kagura is played in front of the portable shrine at night, passing to the temporary shrine in a unique way of kneading according to the sound of the flute drum. On the 3rd and 16th, a tour of the town will be held. Shinto music is played by visiting the garden of a house that was requested for a new construction celebration or rush of business, or visiting a group home and dropping the mikoshi. And on the final day, the 4th and 17th, portable shrine (carried in festivals) seems to go up to the shrine. NHK(Semigovernmental corporation Japan Broadcasting Corporation) announced the production of the late 2022 serial television novel "Maiagare!", And the Goto Islands have been decided as one of the stages. This work is the 107th work, and the time when it is drawn is from the 1990s to the present. It seems that the heroine is a drama of frustration and rebirth toward her flying dream while fostering bonds with various people in the manufacturing town of Higashi Osaka and the nature-rich Nagasaki / Goto Islands. In the story of the heroine aiming to become an astronaut, Mai-chan, the heroine, heads for a flying dream in the script by Ryoko Kuwahara. It was announced in the latter half of August 2021 last year. Goto City : Located at the westernmost tip of Kyushu, about 100 km west of Nagasaki Prefecture. In the southwestern part of the Goto archipelago, which consists of 152 large and small islands. The total area is 420.12 km2, consisting of 11 manned islands and 52 uninhabited islands. The western coast of Fukue Island is lined with sea cliffs due to the rough waves of the East China Sea. In recent years, damage to crops and living environment damage caused by Wild Boars(Sus scrofa Linnaeus, 1758)has increased in the city: Damage to crops caused by Deer(Cervidae Goldfuss, 1820)and damage to the living environment such as the collapse of stone walls are becoming more serious. City is steadily implementing conventional measures such as capture, protection, and environmental improvement. Introduced Bird and beast damage measures system using ict with the aim of confirming bird and beast damage and improving the efficiency of capture. This is because the amount of crop damage caused by wild birds and beasts nationwide has been around 20 billion yen annually in recent years. Decline of motivation to farm, abandonment of cultivation, increase of abandonment, and infestation in the living area. Crush etc. with the vehicle, it is a serious bottle neck in rural districts beyond the range that can be understood as the amount of damage. Established in 2007 due to widespread and serious damage: Bird and beast damage prevention special measures law(Law No.134), Support for proactively taking comprehensive measures to prevent various damages. Let's get back to the story. The cliffs of Osezaki and the volcanic sea cliffs of Sagano Island are especially famous. On the two islands, there are small groups of homeates (mortar volcanoes) and aspite (shield volcanoes). Its unique volcano shape is rare in Japan. The landscape of the entire island is very beautiful and most of it is designated as Saikai National Park(The designated date of the Ministry of the Environment is March 16, 1955.). June 30, 2018: Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region. "Egami Village on Naru Island(It is formed by a complex coastline and hillsides on steep slopes. It is located in a slightly open terrain on the west coast of the northwestern part. "Egami Catholic Church" seems to have been built by creating a flat land on the southern slope of the terrain. Christianity may have been introduced in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. After the persecution of Christianity was issued nationwide in 1614, a crackdown order was issued to the hidden Christians in the Goto clan. It is possible that Goto disappeared from the archipelago around the 18th century. etc.)" and "Hisaka lsland Village(Located in the south, centered on Hisaka Bay, which enters the bay from the north to the center. Surrounding in a horseshoe shape, the circumference is about 52 km. Paddy filed, which was cultivated in accordance with the pioneering immigration policy(A farmer's migration agreement was established from the Omura domain to the Goshima domain.), and Rokuro, which became a place for fishing net hoisting work in collaboration with Buddhists. The graveyard of the hidden Christian (oratio), the place of repression after discovering the believers, the church built after the ban was lifted and its remains. Fukue Island, adjacent to the south side of Hisaka Island, by Jesuit missionary Luís de Almeida(葡)in 1566. etc.)" are registered as World Heritage Sites. The Goto Region is greatly affected by the Tsushima Warm Current, and has a marine climate with warm winters and relatively cool summers. The annual average temperature is 17 degrees Celsius, which tends to be relatively warm due to the influence of the Tsushima warm current. In 2018, the annual rainfall was 1863.0 mm. Below are the typical flowers, trees, and birds of the city. Camellia japonica L., Crinum asiaticum L., Ficus superba (Miq.) Miq. var. japonica Miq., Zosterops japonicus Temminck & Schlegel, 1845.It's clear how the city(island)is in harmony with nature and loved. Born on August 1, 2004 by the merger of 1 city and 5 towns. Agriculture production is centered on livestock and upland farming, including beef cattle and vegetables. In addition to the main crops, the production of leaf tobacco etc. is also active. Potatoes are also produced, and everyone loves the "甘古呂餅(It is still made in each household as a preserved food in winter and has been passed down from generation to generation.)" made from sweet potato as a special product. Current status of bird and beast damage: From around 1990, damage to agricultural crops such as paddy rice, forage crops, and soybeans caused by deer, and contact accidents with automobiles due to jumping out from the side of the road began to increase. From around 2010, wild boars dug up in the mountains, collapsed stone walls, and caused frequent damage to the living environment such as kitchen gardens. In 2015, it has expanded to crops such as paddy rice and sweet potatoes, and it has been confirmed that it appears in urban areas. Take urgent measures and the administration will play a role for farmers and residents. "Goto Paprika" : It has a strong sweetness with a sugar content of 8 degrees and a thick and juicy taste. It is made with reduced pesticides based on special cultivation. In winter, the daylight hours are short and the temperature is low, so coloring is slow and it takes time to harvest. Goto products are mainly shipped to markets such as Nagasaki City and Kitakyushu City, but they are also sold at JA's direct sales office direct market "Goto is delicious". If you drive about 30 minutes southwest of Fukue Port, you will reach Tomie Town, Goto City, which once flourished with coral. This town is a tomato producing area called "Goto Ruby Tomatoes". Members of the Goto Ruby Study Group in their 20s and 40s are cultivating medium-sized tomatoes (30 g or more and less than 200 g). It is shipped mainly in the Kanto region, has a high reputation in the market, and has many consumers. This excellent agricultural product has a sugar content of 8 or more (about 5 degrees for ordinary tomatoes) and is characterized by its sweetness and freshness. Sweet and delicious Midi tomatoes with low acidity and high sugar content seem to be cultivated mainly in Tomie Town, Goto City. The shipping time is usually from the end of September to the beginning of June of the following year, and it seems to be almost all year round except for the hot summer season. A new product with a brilliant crimson color and shipped as "Goto Ruby Tomato". We make every effort to provide consumers with the true taste of ripe tomatoes. Goto Ruby Tomatoes are produced in the Tomie area, about 30 minutes southwest of Fukue Port by car. In 2004, the planting of medium ball tomatoes (Hana Queen) began, and in 2006, 12 farmers established the Goto Ruby Research Group and began trial cultivation of Chutama tomatoes (Hanaotome). In August 2010, "Goto Ruby Tomato" was registered as a trademark. In 2018, one corporation and 10 individuals produced "Goto Ruby", the planted area in the same year was 188ares, and the yield per hectare was 10,550 kg. Sixth industry initiatives in the Goto region of Nagasaki Prefecture: 2013-present (ongoing). As a background of the efforts, The Goto area is one of the leading dry-field farming areas in the prefecture, and it seems that many crops such as forage crops, barley, and tobacco are being planted. Due to the geographic condition of being a remote island, transportation takes time and costs. In greenhouse horticulture, we have been working on medium ball tomatoes since 2003 and have shipped them as our own brand. Traditional processed products such as kankoro (dried sweet potato) and dried daikon are also produced, but the production volume is declining. In response to this situation, in order to increase the income of farmers, it is necessary to expand efforts on agricultural products for processing business. In 2013, the Goto Regional Processing Business Production Center Development Council was established by farmers' organizations, agricultural cooperatives, and related organizations, and seems to have supported the expansion of the production and production areas of vegetables for processing. Furthermore, from fiscal 2016, we have asked processing-related organizations such as the Goto City Local Products Promotion Association and the Chamber of Commerce to participate in cooperative efforts to support production and processing.
Act as parliament. The council promotes cooperation between production areas and actual users, promotes various promotion measures, etc., thereby increasing the income of farmers through the expansion of production areas, the development of a management body that tackles sixth industry initiatives, and the securing of stable shipping destinations. It seems to help improve In addition, the Goto Regional Processing Business Development Council was established, and as a secretariat, a group of related parties was put together to conduct a fact-finding survey of actual consumers, participate in matching fairs, conduct a questionnaire on the actual state of production, and establish a sixth-order management body. It seems that he supported the creation of a comprehensive business plan. In order to increase the processing capacity of leaf mustard and cucumbers of agricultural cooperatives, we supported the expansion of salting processing facilities and the implementation of waste liquid treatment facilities under the subsidy project for building strong agriculture. (2014-ongoing) Conducting sixth industry initiatives seminars for farmers and processors, and promoting his sixth industry initiatives by introducing case studies and business introductions by experts. In addition, we will provide individual consultations and support for efforts such as certification of comprehensive business plans for management bodies that are oriented toward the sixth generation. It seems that he heard requests from the agricultural cooperative for the effective use of non-standard tomatoes. (2016-ongoing) In order to commercialize non-standard medium ball tomatoes, we requested the dispatch of experts in the development of processed agricultural products and package design, received advice, and started trial production at processors and prefectural testing institutes implementation. After narrowing down the prototypes, we invite general consumers and agricultural producers, etc., to a tasting party and have them evaluate it.


It is very sweet with an average of 7 degrees or more in the season compared to 4 or 5 degrees in ordinary tomatoes, and the fruit is classified as a medium-sized tomato (30 g or more and less than 200 g), which is about twice as large as cherry tomatoes. Members of the Goto Ruby Research Group in their 20s to 40s grow medium tomatoes (30 g or more and less than 200 g). It is shipped mainly in the Kanto region, has received high praise in the market, and is highly sought after by new consumers. Goto Ruby Tomatoes have a sugar content of 8 or more (normal tomatoes are about 5%), and are sweet and juicy.


In 2003, we started branding medium-sized tomatoes with a diameter of about 4 cm, and developed them under the name of "Goto Ruby Tomatoes." The fruity sweetness comes from thorough water management, and only those that meet the standards are shipped as Goto Ruby. Shipments usually begin around autumn, and the sugar content is higher in the winter, and the season from November to March is particularly delicious with a good balance of sourness and flavor. It's something that shines like a ruby jewel. Frutica tomato seems to have less cracking even in spring and autumn when the temperature difference between day and night is large due to the characteristics of elastic flesh. Also, according to farmers, it can be cultivated in all seasons. The grass vigor is rather strong in the early stages, so care must be taken not to cause overgrowth and abnormal main stems. However, it seems that additional fertilization is necessary early in the four-stage flowering when the burden of fruiting begins to be applied and the grass vigor tends to decline in winter. I have heard that the ripening stage is Wase and the leaves are medium-large leaves.



With daily research being valued, all of the farmers apply diligent application, and Goto Ruby Tomatoes are generally evaluated for their taste and quality, and there are many fans who look forward to them every year. This is because the reduction of pesticides is the first priority for stable supply, and more time and effort are put into improving and devising manure management.

Photochromism refers to the phenomenon in which a single chemical species reversibly forms two isomers of different colors under the action of light without changing the molecular weight. Also, two isomers are molecules with different properties. Succeeded in creating a hexatriene-based photochromic compound that undergoes a cyclization reaction with 100% stereoselectivity and a compound with a ring-closing quantum yield of almost 1. In addition, in the biradical-generating photochromic compound HABI, which suppresses dissipation, we created an ultra-fast photocoloring and decoloring reaction system. Utilizing two-dimensional microphase separation due to photoreaction of liquid crystal polymers with azobenzene side chains, we succeeded in optically controlling the morphology and orientation of thin films. We created a light-driven polymer motor that converts light energy directly into mechanical energy using an elastomer film containing azobenzene. In addition, we succeeded in controlling the planar asymmetry by photoisomerization reaction, and controlling the magnetism and superconducting properties of metal nanoparticles and thin films. We will discover new systems of photochromic single crystals and fibers capable of photoreversible shape control. We present the mechanism of reversible deformation of diarylethene single crystals by light, the estimation of generated stress, and the possibility of light-driven actuators. In addition, we succeeded in optical control of water repellency and hydrophilicity of the surface of diarylethene single crystal, and optical control of metal deposition selectivity on the thin film surface. Furthermore, as one of the ultimate performances, we have achieved control of photocoloring/photobleaching with single-wavelength light using multiphoton absorption.

On February 28, 2022, Mr. and Mrs. Suzuki, who are persimmon farmers living in Ishimaki, Toyohashi City, won the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award at the National Fruit Tree Technology and Management Contest. This competition honors advanced farmers who can serve as models for others in terms of fruit tree production technology and management. It seems that the couple, with their foresight, will provide support with a view to the future so that they can pass on the technology to the younger generation that will follow them.

【名前の由来】
It seems to have been named after the Goku-Wase variety of persimmon, which matures early.
【主な特徴】
According to NARO, "Soshu persimmon'' is an early maturing sweet persimmon grown by crossing "Izu persimmon'' with "109-27 persimmon'' ("Okitsu No. 2 persimmon'' × "Okitsu No. 17 fruit tree''). The fruit matures at about the same time as "Wase Nishimura persimmon", and has a good taste and a deep taste. The fruit shape is flat and easily disturbed, and the fruit weight is about 250 g. The flesh is slightly soft and dense, and has a good taste with a lot of juice. The sugar content is 14-15%. As a Wase variety, it has a good shelf life, and can last for about 12 days in the growing area (Akitsu Town, Higashi-Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture). There are almost no stale fruits, and some soiled fruits are produced, and it seems that most of them are caused by striations in the cultivation area. In addition, the vigor of the tree is moderate, and the tree shape is open. Male flowers do not grow. The flowering period of the female flowers is almost the same as that of 'Izu persimmon' and earlier than that of 'Fuyu persimmon'. Epiphysis of female flowers is common. Both parthenocarpy and seed formation ability are not high, and there seems to be a tendency for early fruit drop. New shoots tend to grow secondary in June, Colletotrichum acutatum, Gloeosporium sp. Increases in the rainy season. At first, black circular lesions appear, which gradually spread to dark brown, become elliptical depressions, and appear to have vertical cracks. In fruit, young fruits are black and round from around the rainy season. In the coloring stage, the disease becomes active again, and at first small black spots appear, and then it seems that the lesions become circular or oval and slightly depressed. It seems that mucilage (mass of spores) of salmon food tends to form on new shoots and lesions of fruits after rainfall, etc. Also, when the petiole is infected, the upper part is blackish brown. The plant overwinters in lesions, buds, fallen leaves, etc. on the old canopy.From around the end of April, spores are formed on these. The spores are rainwater. It scatters with droplets of, reaches soft shoots and young fruits, and seems to invade and develop from the epidermis. Spores are formed on newly formed lesions, and secondary infection occurs one after another. If the temperature is 20 to 27°C and the humidity is high, a large amount of spores are formed, and the disease repeatedly develops on shoots and fruits. In particular, when there is a lot of rainfall in May and June, there are many diseases on young branches and young fruits, and when there is a lot of rainfall in September and October, the damage to the fruits is severe. There is a difference in the onset of the disease depending on the cultivar. Fuyu persimmon and Hiratanenashi persimmon are weak, Saijo persimmon and Jiro persimmon(A type of astringent persimmon with a square shape and no seeds.  It is known by other names in various places, such as Niigata's Hacchin, Yamagata's Shonai persimmon, Sado's Okesa persimmon, and Tanenashi.)are moderate, and Koshu Hyakume persimmon and Yotsumizo persimmon(Astringent persimmons grow wild from Shizuoka Prefecture to Kanagawa Prefecture. It is a special product of Nagaizumi Town, Sunto District, Shizuoka Prefecture.)are strong. In addition, it seems that it is likely to occur in poorly drained gardens and densely planted gardens with poor ventilation). Taishu persimmons are characterized by their crunchy texture and high sugar content, and are highly trusted and popular. This year, due to the bad weather in early spring, there was concern about the growth of the persimmons, but it seems that the persimmons have a beautiful color and luster. Persimmons are bright orange and Despite its bright orange color, this excellent produce, which is in season at this time of year, is green. Recently, more and more people know about It may have a ripe color that makes you hesitate for a moment. Until you try it once, you may not pick it up even if you see it. That's why I'm writing today to introduce the original goodness of Japanese agricultural products and skilled farmers so that people around the world who see my blog will know about it. On March 28, 2022, JA Toyohashi of Toyohashi City held the "Jumbo Eggplant Contest" for the first time to compete for the weight and thickness of eggplants by variety and department in order to boost the cultivation of special eggplants. In the weight category, 615 grams of eggplant, which is equivalent to the usual five eggplants cultivated by Mrs. Suzuki, has won the championship. Kansuke Hakuto Peach (Wase Peach, which was registered as a variety in 1981 because of the branch of Aichi Hakuto Peach. It is slightly larger than "Aichi Hakuto Peach", the skin is well colored, and the flesh is juicy and sweet. , And sold as "Kansuke peach") and other peach producing areas, the shipment of wase varieties has started in the northern part of Toyohashi city. It is blessed with good weather this season, but it rains moderately, and it seems that the fruits are big and sweet. On June 22, 2022, the current chairman of the JA Toyohashi Peach Subcommittee, who harvested "Misaka Hakuto Peach", said, "It's plump and big, and the sugar content is 12 to 13 degrees, which is sweet and delicious. Say he's talking proudly. Under the slogan of "making delicious peaches," the group members are actively exchanging information with each other through cultivation classes, etc., and are working to improve cultivation techniques. It is expected to ship about 5,000 cases (5 kg per case) this season, and is scheduled to be shipped to Aichi prefecture, mainly in Nagoya. In Toyohashi City, you can buy peaches that have just been shipped at the direct sales office "Fruit Shop Yume-Sai Hall" attached to JA Toyohashi's general collection and shipping area in Ishimakihon Town. It is very popular. It seems that the shipping time is until the beginning of August. Kansuke Yamamoto was born in August 1500 in Kamo Village, Mikawa (currently Kamo Town, Toyohashi City). At the age of 25, he climbed Mt. Koya in Kishu, incubated at Marishitendo, and then toured the countries. His journey covers a wide range of areas such as Shikoku, Sanyo, Sanin, Kyushu, Osaka, Kyoto, and Sakai. It is said that he became a vassal of Mouri and Amako at one time (the truth is unknown). The officer to Shingen of Kai's tiger is estimated to be around 1543. He became a samurai in command of a troop of foot soldiers with a tipend 100 presence and orderly 25 people due to the Suwa attack from 1542 to 1544, but after various achievements, he later became a samurai general (esp. During the Sengoku) with 500 presences. You have been promoted to period). A Sengoku warrior who survived until October 18, 1561. It originated in India today and is cultivated in China around the 5th and 6th centuries. It was introduced to Japan around the 8th century. It was introduced to Europe in the 13th century and in North America in the 16th century, and it seems that it was not as important as other vegetables. Is it from a beautiful outline? In the Edo period, the technology to make the first eggplant in a little bit started. It seems that the shogunate issued a ban because it was bought and sold at such a high price. When it was introduced to Japan, it was called Kunlun Purple Gourd (Indian Purple Gourd). Cultivation begins under the name “Rangoku Eggplant” in the Shosoin document of the Nara period. It seems that it has reached the present with a semi-forced pry that it is converted from good taste in summer to “make” and “live” and is auspicious. The harvest time and season are from July to October. The decisive difference from the eggplants on the market is the green stems and calyx. It is a place where there are few seeds, the flesh is tight, and it does not easily crumble. It seems that there are 180 varieties of eggplant in Japan, probably because it has been cultivated in Japan for a long time. By the way, it is said that there are more than 1000 varieties in the world. In addition, all members of the JA Toyohashi Eggplant Subcommittee have been certified as “environmentally friendly farmer (as recognized by law)” by the prefecture, and are working hard to cultivate safe and secure eggplants. Procedures for farmers to use the Eco Agricultural Products Mark: As an eco-farmer, certified by the prefecture, Create an “eco-agricultural product mark use permission application” and submit it to the Agriculture and Forestry General Office. It seems that the application form is also available for printing from the website and for the Agriculture and Forestry General Office. Procedures for farmers' groups to use the Eco Agricultural Products Mark: As an eco-agricultural promotion group, it is certified by the prefecture. Next, prepare an “eco-agriculture promotion group certification application” and submit it to the Agriculture and Forestry General Office. It seems that the application form is also available for printing from the website and for the Agriculture and Forestry General Office. Procedures for distributors to use the Eco Agricultural Products Mark: Create an “Eco Agricultural Products Mark Use Permission Application” and submit it to the Prefectural Production and Distribution Division. The application form is printed from the homepage and is also available at the Prefectural Production and Distribution Division. Mark creation after receiving permission to use the eco-agricultural product mark: Farmers and eco-agricultural promotion organizations or distributors who have received permission to use the eco-agricultural product mark create their own marks. In order to maintain the uniformity of the mark design and color, the prefecture distributes the design sheet free of charge along with the license. Obligations of those who have been licensed to use the Eco Agricultural Products Mark: Those who have been licensed to use the Eco Agricultural Products Mark must: Creation and storage of related documents such as signboard installation in fields or sales facilities, production / shipment records, subdivision records, and mark management records. Toyohashi City is recruiting farmers to participate in the matching program from September to October 2022. It seems that the target audience is farmers in the Toyohashi area, JA, agriculture-related business companies, local support organizations, and others who are interested in new ways of agriculture and solutions to their own agricultural problems. In addition, it seems that it will recruit startups from all over the country to solve the problems faced by farmers in the city. Under the title of "Creating Future Agriculture", the city has started a demonstration development project "TOYOHASHI AGRI MEEETUP" through co-creation between startups, local farmers, and companies, aiming to create agricultural innovation. “Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture”, Born on August 1, 1906 as the 62nd city in Japan(Futagawa-juku Station (Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture)). Although it is a region, the east borders Shizuoka Prefecture with the Yumihari Mountains as the border. Facing the Pacific Ocean to the south and Mikawa Bay to the west, it is blessed with abundant nature and a warm climate. The center is dotted with facilities such as the city hall, yoshida(Fumonji Temple (Toyohashi City) (Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture): Yoshida Shichifukujin)castle, and art museum. It seems that the shopping district is developing around Toyohashi Station. A tram (city tram) runs from the station front to the eastern part of the city, and is popular as a means for citizens. In the eastern part, Imou Bog, known as small Oze in the Tokai region, is located in the eastern hills. In the south, the farmland cultivated during postwar days bears abundant vegetables and boasts the highest agricultural output (gross agricultural production) in Japan. The Omotehama coast, which faces the Pacific Ocean, is known as the spawning ground for loggerheads(Caretta caretta (Linnaeus, 1758): Widely distributed in the world ocean. The coastlines of Japan's Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Okinawa are attracting attention as the only spawning grounds in the North Pacific Ocean. The body color is brown on the back, pale yellow on the abdomen, and the head is large.). Mt. Ishimaki rises in the north, and many are hilly areas. A region where fruit trees such as jiro persimmon, which is famous for “Ishimaki”, strawberries, peaches, and grapes are cultivated. Beautiful flower irises(Acorus calamus var. angustatus: sweet flag)bloom in early summer at the northernmost tip. January 4: Toyohashi Flower Festival (Toyohashi City). Aichi Prefecture's cabbage production in 2016 was the second highest in Japan. Above all, the area from Toyohashi City to Atsumi Peninsula is positioned as a major production area. Efforts of Mr. Koshiro Sugiura, who was the head of the vegetable shipping union in Takashi Village, Atsumi District (currently Toyohashi City) in 1930. Thanks to his efforts, the excellent variety “Koshi Kanran(Cabbage)” was born. After that, it will gradually be cultivated in neighboring Okubo, Tahara Town and Akabane Town. It is said that this area has become a production area that supplies large consumption areas in the east and west. In 1966, winter cabbage became a designated production area of the country, and actively worked on improving cultivation techniques. In 1968, Toyogawa irrigation water was introduced, and the production volume increased dramatically. It grows well in warm and abundant sunshine, and is characterized by good taste and freshness. The cultivated area at that time was about 1100 ha in the fall and winter, and about 500 ha in the spring and summer. Expansion of scale and anniversary of cultivation progress, acreage is on the rise. It is roughly divided into four types according to the time of year, and the main products are winter (cold ball) and gold sour (spring type), which are shipped in the fall and winter. In winter, the leaves are flat with few wrinkles, and the leaves are hard and chewy. It is used for cooking because it does not easily crumble even when cooked. Gold sour (named in Toyohashi: spring) is often used for raw food such as julienne because the leaves are wrinkled and round in shape and the leaves are soft. In recent years, sorghum(green manure: High production is expected and germination is good. Moreover, the seed price is cheaper than Crotalaria(Juncea). It tends to be relatively easy to use because it is relatively responsive to the acidity of the soil.)has been used to improve drainage and fertility. It's said that there is a border in Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture, that divides the two different ways of cooking sukiyaki between the Kanto and Kansai regions. 国指定 : 重要文化財 - 東観音寺多宝塔(Myoshin-ji School of the Rinzai Sect-行基) - 小松原-1907年5月27, 豊橋ハリストス正教会 聖使徒福音記者マトフェイ聖堂 - 八町通-2008年6月9日, 豊橋公会堂 - 1998年9月2日, etc. A long time ago, Ushikawa people(Pleistocene)lived 50,000 to 80,000 years ago. May 1957 at the limestone quarry in Ushikawa town -Discovered some of the human humerus. It is considered to be the oldest fossil hominid found in Japan. In the 600s, the “穂” country changed to Mikawa. “Perilla”, It is an annual plant of Lamiaceae and resembles Green shiso; Japanese basil. Perfect for health, the Jomon people were processed into cookies. “Kuruma shrine tumulus(Ueta Town)” : Prefectural designation (registration) 1959, Kofun period : CAR shrine, A 42 m-long front-rear burial mound located on the river terrace along the left bank of the Umeda River in the southern part of the city. In September 1885, when the rear circle was flattened for the renovation of the main shrine, three copper bell apricot leaves, one glass magatama, 33 jasper tube balls, one iron sword, and one Sue pottery bottle were found. It is estimated that the main body of the mound where the relics were excavated is a horizontal hole type stone chamber, but the details are unknown because the main shrine is built on the flattened surface. Of the excavated items, two of the harness decorations, Suzu Kyouha, are complete products, one is crushed but the bell part remains, and all three are three bells with bells on the tip and both sides. It seems that you can see that it was an apricot leaf. This Suzu Kyouha is rarely excavated and is the only obvious example of an excavated tumulus in the prefecture. It is a relatively old harness and is chronologically edited from the latter half of the 5th century to the first half of the 6th century even in the latter part of the Kofun period. In addition, glass magatama is also rare and has a red color. Since these have been stored at the car shrine without being dissipated from the time they were excavated, they are designated collectively. The front part of the mound remains well, the front part is 14 m wide, 24 m long, 2.8 m high, and the diameter of the rear circle is 18 m. “Ueta Town” : Our association consists of a total of 28 members and 10 designated suppliers, centered on Higashi Mikawa, in the Toyohashi area (15 people), the Toyokawa area (1 person), the Atsumi area (9 people), and outside the area (3 people). In addition, all of us members who handle agricultural products in the production area will provide information on consumers' understanding of food and the safety and security of food. And we are making efforts to ensure a stable supply of fresh local vegetables and fruits that we love. Tower of Peac: In memory of the war dead and the victims of air raids who believed in the victory and prosperity of their homeland and dedicated their precious lives, praying for permanent peace in the world, and praying for peace so as not to repeat the tragedy of the war again, 1965 As a project to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the end of the war in September, the Toyohashi City Peace Tower Construction Support Group was organized and built with the cooperation of the general public. "Taishu persimmon'' was developed in 1977 at the Akitsu Branch of the Fruit Tree Experiment Station (grape and persimmon research base) (Higashi-Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture). It is said to be a sweet persimmon cultivar bred by crossing persimmons ("Okugosho persimmon" × "Hanagosho persimmon"). Since 1989, it has been registered under the systematic name of "Akitsu No. 10 persimmon'' and in 1994 as "Kaki Norin No. 7'' and has been published. In the following year, 1995, it was registered as 'Taishu' based on the seed and seedling law from the former name registration variety. It is a sweet persimmon with very large fruits that can be expected to be harvested around the same time as the Wase Matsumoto Fuyu persimmon. Those with "stripes" tend to have a higher sugar content. Also, according to NARO, it is expected to spread widely in sweet persimmon production areas. It can be cultivated west of Chiba Prefecture on the Pacific Ocean side, and west of Niigata Prefecture on the Sea of ​​Japan side, but it seems that it may remain astringent in cold highlands where the temperature does not rise sufficiently in summer. There were 349 producers in the JA Toyohashi Persimmon Group in 2020, of which 348 farmers were producing Jiro persimmons. In addition, Nishimura persimmons, Soshu persimmons, Aishuho persimmons, Fuyu persimmons, and Yoho persimmons(Application number (Application date) Publication date Registration number (Date of Registration) Duration of Breeder's Rights, 3819 (31 March 1990), 1 January 1900, 2888 (November 19, 1991), 18 years
(Expiration date: November 20, 2009) Crossing combination old strain name Fuyu persimmon × Jiro persimmon, crossing year: 1967 Kaki Akitsu No. 6. It is a completely sweet persimmon, and requires high temperatures in summer and autumn to naturally remove astringency. Agriculture and forestry certified variety (former name registered variety), registration number: Kaki Norin No. 4. Moderate vigor, many female flowers, and low early and late fruit drop, resulting in high productivity. Appearance is good because there is little contamination. When the seeds are formed, a minute crack occurs at the apex of the fruit, and it seems that it tends to turn black from there. Due to the high parthenocarpy, seedless cultivation seems to be desirable to prevent blackening of the fruit apex. The sugar content of the fruit is about 16-17%, and the flesh is a little hard, but when it is fully ripe, the juice will increase and the taste will improve.)are also produced, but 198 ha (88%) of the total production area of ​​226 ha is Jiro persimmon farms. It seems that Toyohashi's Jiro persimmon is still the main product of persimmon farmers. The Jiro persimmon brand of Toyohashi was created as a result of the pioneering persimmon farmer's long-term promotion in the Kanto market and the accumulation of tasting events at the sales floor. Farmers in Toyohashi, such as those who were engaged in sericulture, seem to have changed to persimmon farmers in the 1955s when the economy deteriorated. Originally, Wase Jiro persimmon, which can be harvested from mid-October, spread around Toyohashi as a branch change (breed improvement) variety of normal Jiro persimmon that can be harvested around November in Mori Town, Shuchi District, Shizuoka Prefecture. I hear. At that time, persimmons from Gifu prefecture were shipped to the Nagoya market in Aichi prefecture, and persimmons from Nara and Wakayama prefectures were shipped to the Kansai market. Therefore, Toyohashi persimmon farmers aimed at the Kanto market, and farmers in Toyohashi City, Toyokawa City, and Shinshiro City jointly formed the Higashi Mikawa Fruit Tree Association, and jointly built fruit and vegetable farms in Toyohashi City and Shinshiro City to ship. In this way, it seems that even before the Higashi Mikawa Fruit Farm was established, individual farmers spared no effort in shipping persimmons from Toyohashi Station by JR Freight. Jiro persimmon seems to be the reason why the market trusted it because there were few fruits in the Kanto market. Furthermore, after the establishment of the Higashi Mikawa Fruit Tree Association, it seems that Toyohashi's Jiro persimmon has become a brand because it succeeded in arranging a certain amount as a production area. However, it has become difficult for the Higashi Mikawa Fruit Tree Association to operate with only farmers, and it seems that 17 years ago, the fruit and vegetable farm in Shinshiro City was transferred to JA Aichi Higashi, and the fruit and vegetable farm in Toyohashi City to JA Toyohashi. Good persimmons contain more ascorbic acid than citrus fruits. This C6H8O6 (discovered in 1753 by James Lind (1716-1794), a British naval doctor, as a preventive factor for scurvy) and tannin excrete alcohol in the blood, and the diuretic action of abundant potassium helps to sober up. It is expected to have a great effect on hangovers because it promotes. In addition, sibol, a type of tannin contained in persimmons, has the effect of strengthening blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. I forgot to mention that Jiro persimmon cultivation has a long history. It borders on Shizuoka Prefecture to the east. It is located in the southern part of Yana District, and the name of the village comes from Mt. Ishimaki, which has an altitude of 358 m. The summit of Mt. Ishimaki is made up of huge limestone rocks, and the Ishinomakiyama limestone plant community around the summit is designated as a national natural monument. It looks like one side. As a mountain that can be easily climbed, it is popular among people of all ages, so it is worth paying attention to.
