The old couple said, “Let’s name him Momotaro (Peach-boy) as he was born from a peach.” One day, the old man went into the woods to gather firewood and the old woman went to the river to do laundry. When the old woman was washing clothes at the river, a giant peach came floating down the stream and she picked it up. She brought it back home so that she could eat it with the old man. They cut the peach, a healthy baby boy jumped out from the peach! Both the old man and woman were glad because they had no child. They named the boy “MOMOTARO” for he was born from a peach. They raised him with a lot of love. When Momotaro turned fifteen years old, he was the strongest in the village.

Jugoro Okubo was born in 1867 on a farm in Kama Murayama, Iwanashi District (now Shiona, Seto Town, Higashi Ward, Okayama City). When he was young, he received instruction in orchard gardening from Masuta Koyama, who lived in the same village. Later, Old Man was invited to the Ohara Agricultural Research Institute and took charge of horticulture, devising a sprayer, pruning shears, and grape thinning shears to develop orchard gardening. In 2004, he created a new variety, "Okubo peach''. Were promoted through the Okayama Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station, which laid the foundation for Okayama Prefecture to gain fame as a peach production area. A monument honoring Jugoro has been erected by local volunteers at Oldman's birthplace. In 1932, Chuichi Nishioka of Haga, Okayama announced 'Shimizu White Peach' in memory of his achievements. Shimizu white peaches, which are characterized by a particularly soft texture, are still known today as synonymous with high-quality white peaches. During the war, the cultivation of fruit trees was in dire straits, but after the war, thanks to the enthusiasm and efforts of growers, white peach cultivation recovered rapidly, and along with Muscat and Pione, Okayama established itself as the fruit kingdom of Okayama. To grow peaches of good quality, the peaches are thinned out and bagged when they reach a certain size. The advanced techniques cultivated by the great pioneers and the effortless attitude continue to produce white peaches in Okayama with a focus on taste, texture, and beauty of appearance.

【Major features】
Okayama's white peach with a beautiful milky white skin was born in the Meiji period. In 1875, Shanghai Suimitsu(white peach)and Tenjin Suimitsu(white peach)were introduced from China to Japan, and these varieties were first cultivated in Okayama Prefecture. After that, both the cultivation area and the production volume expanded, and enthusiastic growers began to compete to discover and develop new varieties. Masuta Koyama (1861-1924), known as the "Father of Fruit Growing'' in Okayama Prefecture, was born into a wealthy farmer's family in what is now Kumayama Town (Akaiwa City), Okayama Prefecture. He grew peaches, grapes, and pears in his vast orchard, and self-taught himself the techniques of crossbreeding, pruning, and pest control. He is also enthusiastic about teaching younger generations, and I hear that Jugoro Okubo, the founder of "Hakuto'', was also a student of Koyama. Shimizu White Peach is 1,932 yen and is an excellent white peach variety discovered by Chuichi Nishioka (Gr. Naka). A monument to the "Birthplace of Shimizu Hakuto'' stands beside a pond called "Shinike'' in Sayama, Kita Ward, Okayama City. A pioneer in fruit cultivation since the Meiji period, he improved the method of bagging fruit trees, tried Bordeaux liquid and other disinfectants, and invented an insecticide. Magosaburo Ohara (1880-1943: Born in Kurashiki City, Japan. A Japanese businessman and social entrepreneur. He served as president of Kurashiki Spinning, Kurashiki Wool, Kurashiki Silk, Chugoku Joint Bank, and China Hydro Electric Company. Ohara Financial Clique) invited Old Man to lead the horticulture department in 1914 when the Ohara Agricultural Research Institute was founded. For about 10 years (1914-1924), he worked as a researcher in the horticulture department, reclaimed Mt. Nada. I am passionate about giving technical guidance to people in the field. In 1924, Mr. Koyama passed away in the Mt. Nada garden, and the gardening club, which had achieved many achievements, was abolished due to the circumstances of the research institute. However, to commemorate Oldman's achievements, in his name he took the name of a certain Rakusan, and Magosaburo renamed the orchard Rakusan inside the kindergarten. In addition, a memorial was erected on November 1, 1935 by the Ohara family halfway up Taoyuan in Rakusan inside the kindergarten to permanently honor Oldman's achievements. The foundation stones were natural stones, and the surrounding oddly shaped rocks and ornamental trees were brought in at great expense. The monument is 272.727 cm (approximately 2.7 m) high, 60.606 cm (approximately 0.6 m) wide and 56.9 cm (approximately 0.45 m) wide. Also, when the monument was established, in memory of Mr. Koyama, Mantaro Kondo, director of the Ohara Agricultural Research Institute (1883-1946: was born as the third son of Jinzo Kondo in Toyo Village, Oku District, Okayama Prefecture (currently Saidaiji, Okayama City). Okayama Prefecture. During his junior high school days, he traveled 11.782 km from his home in Saidaiji to go to school for five years. After studying at the Sixth High School and the Tokyo Imperial University Agricultural College, he majored in seed science at the Graduate School of Tokyo Imperial University. In 1910, he went to Germany to study. Completed a thesis on cultivar appraisal at the Hohen Agricultural University, returned to Kurashiki in January 1914, and in July became a councilor of the Ohara Scholarship Association and the first director of the Agricultural Research Institute. He passed away in 1946. For 32 years, as director, he worked to nurture and manage the institute after its establishment, nurtured many researchers, and published more than 450 publications. In particular, his knowledge of seed science is extremely valuable. In 1922, he was awarded the red and white ribbon by the Great Japan Agricultural Association. In 1927, he was awarded the Agricultural Science Prize (currently the Japan Prize for Agricultural Science) from the Agricultural Society, and gave a lecture before the Emperor in November 1930. Later, in September 1945, he was recommended as a member of the Academy.) Dr. Koyama became the editor and publisher, and two posthumous manuscripts by Mr. Koyama, the Old man Rakusan posthumous manuscript, have been published. Peach has already been cultivated in Yamanashi for about 200 years. Although it is easily affected by the weather, many new varieties have been developed in various parts of the prefecture, including Hikawa Hakuho and Kanoiwa Hakuto. There is a gentle slope, and the conditions for drainage, soil, and mechanisms are optimal for the production of thighs. The village of Shimokuribara is located in the northeastern part of the Kofu Basin. It is a flat land sandwiched between the Nikawa and Omo Rivers tributaries of the Fuefuki River. To the west is Utada Village (Utada, Yamanashi City), and to the south is Yatsushiro District across the Nikawa River. Adjacent to Ogi Village (now Ogi, Ichinomiya Town, Fuefuki City). The "Koshu-dō Chubun-en-ezu" depicts the inn as a key transportation hub for the Chichibu-kokan, which runs north along the Fuefuki River, and the Ome-kokan, which branches off from the Chichibu-kokan at Obara Nishibun Village. It is about 127 kilometers from Edo), about 3.4 kilometers from Katsunuma inn in the east, and about 6.1 kilometers from Isawa inn in the west (1843 "Shukumura Taishocho"). The road going back and forth through the village is 1,331.82 m, but the townscape of Shukunai is about 654.6 m. The date of its establishment is unknown, but it is believed that it was built in 1618, when Katsunuma inn and others became new post stations. According to the 'Shukumura Daisocho', it seems that Utata Village and Ogi Village were designated as Kajuku. In 1843, there were 240 houses and 1,057 people in Shuku, including the Utada and Ogi villages of Kajuku. 1 honjin, 1 side honjin, and 1 Jinba-Kigitsu wholesaler. 1 wholesaler, 4 old people, 1 horse finger. During normal times, the wholesaler, the old man, and the horse finger were packed, and when there was a large traffic, all of them dealt with it. There are 25 horses and 25 horses inn, including 5 horses and 5 horses. In the middle of the inn, there is a honjin and a side honjin. According to the handover list in 1705, it seems that eight villages, namely, Kamiishimori, Nakamura, Utada, Shimoishimori, Ogi, Hokutozuka, Minamitanaka, and Shimoyahagi, were assigned to Sukego(The increase in the burden of responsibility in the late Edo period was the biggest decisive factor in the bankruptcy of the village finances. This was aggravated by other tribute and tax burdens, which put a considerable pressure on farmers' lives and accelerated the disaggregation of classes.). In 1818, Jippensha Ichiku's "Golden Grass Shoes" featured a tea house in the Kuribara inn, and in 1827's "Shokudochu Merchant's Book," four inns were introduced. The Hikawa district is located in the southeastern part of Yamanashi City, and is sandwiched between the Nikkawa river flowing in the south and the Omo river flowing in the north. is the earth. In the old days, during the Tokugawa period, Tayasu cantonment was located in the Tanaka district, and the Koshu Highway (now National Route 411) ran through the south, making it an important political and cultural point. Although it was blessed with clear streams and abundant water, it had a long history of fighting floods, and the residents of the area at that time suffered heavy blows many times, but they gradually recovered due to their indomitable spirit and tireless efforts. And we have built up today's prosperity by switching the agricultural form of fruit tree cultivation ahead of the times. Today, the number of elderly people who can tell the history of flood damage has decreased remarkably, and the history of flood damage is about to be closed as the revetment construction is improved. Currently, the cultivation of peaches and grapes is actively carried out as a fruit-growing area in Kyoutung, but in the past, rivers overflowed due to heavy rains, causing flood damage. Especially in 1907, the levee of the Nikkawa and Omo Rivers burst, causing a flood that changed the currents of the Fuefuki River, and I heard that many people suffered great damage. The Kusakabe Police Station presented JA Fruits Yamanashi with flags and security sensors to prevent theft of popular fruit. At the presentation ceremony held on July 20, 2023, Kazuhiro Kato, chief of the Kusakabe Police Station, presented three presidents of the Fruit Yamanashi Agricultural Cooperative with a banner and a security sensor. JA Fruit Yamanashi received 100 banners, 1,000 laminated crime prevention signs, and 200 security lights that activate red lights and alarm sounds with sensors. In 2022, there was a peach theft by a foreigner in the prefecture, so the flag and security display are designed to indicate that security cameras are in operation in pictograms and English. The Kusakabe Police Station will strengthen patrols and install security cameras, and take thorough measures to prevent fruit theft. The total project cost is about 3.1 billion yen, which was deliberated by the prefectural assembly in June 2022. While prices and crude oil prices continue to rise, Yamanashi Prefecture provides benefits to poor households and expands consumption to support livestock farmers. It has announced that it will make efforts to achieve this. It seems that the benefits are for households that are exempt from residence tax, and exclude households that receive special benefits for child-rearing households. It is provided through municipalities, and the prefecture seems to be subsidizing 15,000 japanese yen per household. In addition, as support for restaurants, we will reprint 90,000 premium meal tickets, and as support for livestock farmers affected by soaring feed costs, we will promote efforts to expand consumption, such as providing prefectural meat for school lunches. It seems that JA Fuefuki, a special production area, is considering installing hundreds of security cameras in response to the fact that a large amount of peaches are stolen in Yamanashi prefecture, which has the highest yield and production in Japan. Hundreds of security cameras and mass theft of peaches are being considered by a local JA. , Greenhouse), about 14,400 pieces have been stolen, and the damage amount has exceeded 3.8 million yen. Due to a series of damages, the JA seems to be trying to match places that are difficult for people to see. In addition, it seems that they are considering asking a security company to strengthen night patrols and install lights with motion sensors. “Fuefuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture”, Located slightly east of the central part of the Kofu basin. Collecting water systems flowing from the mountainous hills in the north, east and south of the basin: The Fuefuki River flows southwest through the central part of the basin. 日川, 金川, 浅川, 境川 etc. The alluvial fan and the alluvial plain at the bottom of the basin spread out.In addition, agricultural land mainly composed of fruit trees is distributed from the foot of the mountain to the flat land. Behind it is misaka mountains, there are villages scattered along the Ashigawa River, which flows from east to west in the mountains. In this way, centering on the flat land that extends along the Fuefuki River: Area with relatively cohesive terrain sandwiched between north and south hills and mountains range. The soil is fertile and well drained: Excellent for fruit tree cultivation due to long hours of daylight and large temperature difference between day and night. Ministry of agriculture, forestry and fisheries Fruit tree production shipping statistics: Cultivation area, yield and shipment of peach / grape every year-All are the best among the cities, towns and villages in Japan. Honoring the feats of our predecessors who have led the historic cultivation of fruit trees in Japan: We pledge to protect and further develop the wonderful fruit villages that we can be proud of throughout the country.

History: People started living at the foot of the mountain in the Paleolithic era about 27,000 years ago. In the Yayoi period, when rice farming began, villages were set up in lowlands and the development of the bottom of the basin began. Construction of burial mounds began in the city area in the middle of the 4th century. The existence of Kannduka, which boasts a huge horizontal hole type stone chamber, indicates the rise of political power with great economic power. At the end of the Heian period, Nobuyoshi Takeda led Kai Genji and solidified Kai's rule. His sons Tadayori Ichijyo and Kanenobu Itagaki set up a mansion in the city area. He also participated in the raising of Minamoto no Yoritomo and contributed to the establishment of the Kamakura Shogunate. It was Nobutura that laid the foundation for Mr. Takeda to fly as a warring lord. Nobutora, who took over the role of guardian of Kai at the age of 14, overwhelmed the rebellious influential landlord. Built a residence in Tsutsujigasaki(Currently, Takeda Shrine is enshrined in the castle.)and started construction of a castle town. I hear that is the beginning of Kai's Fuchu "Kofu". With the expansion of power, Kofu has developed into one of the largest castle towns in the eastern country. Shingen: Construction of a large river embankment to protect the kofu basin from flood disasters. Creation of a monetary system using koshu money. Enactment of law for territorial governance: laws established by daimyo applicable only in their own domain (during the Warring States period); Koshu Hatto no Shidai (the Laws of the Province of Kai) of the Takeda clan laid down that 'both parties to a quarrel leading to violence were to be executed regardless of their reasons; however, those who were involved in quarrels, but who kept their patience were not to be punished.' In Koshu Hatto no Shidai (the Laws of the Province of Kai), it was defined that Yoriko would bring a suit to Yorioya regardless of its content. The castle town was expanded by relocating Shinano Zenkoji Temple to Kofu to enrich Kai Province. I hear that the castle town of Kofu prospered most throughout the early modern period during the time of Mr. Yanagisawa. It was limited to daimyo feudal lord in hereditary vassalage to the Tokugawa house, but Yoshiyasu, an aide to General Tsunayoshi, accepted Kai. The maintenance of the castle town was promoted for two generations of father and son. After that, it became the direct control of the Shogunate, and Kofu Castle was under the control of the duty, and the end of the Tokugawa shogunate was reached. The city system was enforced in 1889. It is the 34th in Japan and second only to Yokohama, Mito and Tokyo in the Kanto region. Kofu air raid in July 1945 scorched 74% of the city area. The remnants of the good old days of Kofu have been lost. However, immediately after the end of the war, the war damage reconstruction station(War Damage Reconstruction Board: War-damaged area reconstruction plan basic policy; Cabinet decision on December 30th.)was set up, and the citizens came together to stand up for the reconstruction of their hometown with a high hammer; War Damage Reconstruction Institute.

About 1500 varieties of “Eggplant” have been confirmed all over the world. From long, kinky, round, bite-sized small eggplants to those with a length of 40 cm or more, which are said to be Chinese snake eggplants, can be confirmed. Depending on the shape, it can be divided into various varieties such as round eggplant, small round eggplant, egg eggplant, medium-length eggplant, long eggplant, large-length eggplant, and american eggplant. As for the color, purple (black), white, yellow, green, etc. can be confirmed. The local varieties of traditional vegetables that are still produced are branded, continue to maintain the traditions of the past, and are cultivated with love even in small quantities. At TAKII & CO., LTD., Improvements were made with the aim of producing varieties with stronger grass than “Senryo eggplant”, which does not rest in the summer. Released in 1964, “Senryo No. 2 eggplant” aims to be an eight-headed beauty eggplant, and has stronger grass and better stamina than “Senryo eggplant” (sold in 1961). With the advent of “Senryo No. 2 eggplant”, long-term cultivation starting from small tunnels can be used properly as “Senryo eggplant” for forcing cultivation for greenhouses and large tunnels. It has spread to areas that prefer to eat, and has become the center of production in Kansai, Chubu, Kanto, Hokuriku, Tohoku, and Hokkaido.“Senryo No. 2 eggplant” was and still is “F1” (a seed called Filial 1 hybrid: which has been crossed for one generation and is also called a F1 hybrid or hybrid), and has epoch-making high quality. The fruit skin is soft and has excellent marketability, and the fruit color is dark purple with a particularly good luster, and the fruit alignment is also good. “Senryo eggplant” was awarded the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Forestry Award in 1964, “Senryo No. 2 eggplant was awarded the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Forestry Award in 1969, and “No. 2” was awarded the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award in 1980. Even today, it is widely cultivated and loved in production areas all over the country. It grows well, and the optimum temperature for germination is preferably 20 ° C to 30 ° C and the optimum temperature for growth is 15 ° C to 30 ° C. Continuous cropping of eggplants, tomatoes, peppers, capsicums, potatoes, etc. should be avoided. Since it is a vegetable of the Solanaceae family, it is recommended to choose a place that has not been cultivated for 4 to 5 years, or use grafted seedlings. In order to enjoy the growth for a long period of time, it is necessary to apply a large amount of compost and apply appropriate additional fertilizer so as not to run out of fertilizer. The important thing is to plant in a sunny and well-drained place. Since we prefer high temperatures, we recommend planting in the fields after the temperature has risen sufficiently and there is no need to worry about late frost. Takii & Co., Ltd. and NARO have elucidated the mechanism by which the phenomenon of parthenocarpy, in which fruits grow without pollination, occurs in eggplants. A patent was filed in 2015, registered in 2017, and the results were published in the scientific journal “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America” published on June 9, 2020, about a year ago. It was. Takii & Co., Ltd. and the Agricultural Research Institute have elucidated the mechanism by which the phenomenon of parthenocarpy of fruit enlargement without pollination occurs in eggplants, and applied for a patent in 2015 and registered in 2017. Patent: No. 6191996. In the pad-1(It encodes a 394 amino acid protein consisting of 9 exons, and the pad-1 mutant lacks approximately 4558 bp from the 4th intron to 8 bases upstream of the transcription termination point)mutant showing parthenocarpy, it was revealed that the fruit enlarges due to the loss of the function of the enzyme that suppresses the accumulation of auxin involved in cell division and hypertrophy (auxin accumulation). The results seem to be useful for the cultivation of parthenocarpy varieties that do not require fruit set accelerator treatment and produce fruits stably even at high temperatures. The research groups of both companies analyzed the pad-1 mutant showing parthenocarpy and clarified the mechanism by which parthenocarpy occurs. Normally, in eggplants that do not result in parthenocarpy, until pollination, the ovule (the part at the base of the pistil of the angiosperm, the part called the ovule inside, becomes a seed when fertilization is performed after pollination, and the eggplant In the case of tomatoes and tomatoes, the ovules are enlarged and become fruits.) The amount of auxin, which is a plant hormone in the plant hormone, is kept low, but it increases after pollination, and the action causes the fruits to enlarge. In the pad-1 mutant, it is a general term for a group of plant hormones that promote the elongation and growth of plant cells in auxin in the ovary before pollination.The most important naturally occurring auxin is indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). In addition, naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), etc. can be confirmed as synthetic auxins. In tomatoes and eggplants, the synthetic auxin parachlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPA) is used as a fruit set promoter. In addition, the function of the enzyme that suppresses the increase was lost, and high concentrations of auxin accumulated in the non-pollinated state, resulting in clear fruit enlargement. In the cultivation of solanaceous fruit vegetables such as eggplants and tomatoes, pollination and fruit enlargement are hindered in the summer when the temperature is high and in the winter when the sunshine tends to be insufficient, and the yield decreases. In order to prevent this, a fruit set accelerator is used at the time of cultivation, but it is a problem and a problem that a large amount of labor is required for the work for the treatment. On the other hand, the parthenocarpy (in plants, pollen is attached to the pistil (this is called pollination) and seeds are normally formed through fertilization), which causes the fruit to grow larger without pollination on the plant. It is a general condition for fruit enlargement. On the other hand, there are varieties and lines that have the property of normal fruit enlargement and maturation even when pollination is hindered by some factor and seeds are not formed, and this property is called parthenocarpy. In facility vegetable cultivation, fruit set promotion work such as hormone treatment and release of insects that help pollination of bumblebees is necessary for stable production, but this is not necessary for varieties with parthenocarpy, so labor saving is stable. There are some properties that are very useful for production, and their use is very useful for labor saving and production stabilization. Although some fruits and vegetables showing parthenocarpy have been found so far, the mechanism is not well understood, which is one of the reasons why it is difficult to grow parthenocarpy varieties, which is an issue for researchers and companies. I guess it was. Using the results of this research, Takii & Co., Ltd. has cultivated a parthenocarpy eggplant variety “PC Chikuyo eggplant”. This variety shows the same yield as a normal variety without using a fruit set accelerator, which leads to labor saving and stabilization of production, and therefore its spread is accelerating at present. There is concern that the rapid progress of global warming in recent years may adversely affect fruit production, and it is expected that expanding the use of parthenocarpy varieties will be an effective way to avoid this. We must be grateful and grateful to the people involved. In Japan, which I love, the decline and aging of farmers and the devastation and decline of agricultural land are major issues. The same situation is progressing in various places in Yamanashi prefecture. Under these circumstances, in order to protect agriculture and rural landscapes and realize sustainable and powerful agriculture in the future, it seems that it is an urgent task to secure a leader in the region. On the other hand, it seems that women are now being seen in various places as new leaders in agriculture. Even in Yamanashi Prefecture, a group of female farmers who make use of the unique perspective of women and widely convey the appeal of Yamanashi agriculture to society are active, and many individual female farmers protect local agriculture and farmland and revitalize the area. Seems to be working hard towards.



Okubo Jugoro (1867-1941) was born in what is now Seto Town, Okayama Prefecture. Old man, who was passionate about growing peaches, discovered in 1899, and in 1901 created a new variety called "white peach", which is said to be based on Shanghai Suimitsu(white peach). Its strong sweetness and sticky texture attracted attention as the best mizumitsu peach, and its cultivation spread. Most of the peaches that are currently the main variety in Japan's production areas are said to have their roots in white peaches.


The Nikkawa River flows through the center of Katsunuma with Daibosatsu Pass as its source, and is a steep river that joins the Fuefuki River. Heavy rains fell in 1907 and 1910, causing great damage throughout the Kyoto region, including Katsunuma. Construction of the Nikkawa sluice system began in 1911 and was completed in 1915, triggered by this flood. It seems that the purpose of 'water control' is to change the direction of water flow and weaken the force in order to protect the river bank and embankment from the erosion of water flowing in the river. In order to keep the flow of water constant, the dikes were constructed at right angles to the flow, and 74 dikes made of natural stone were buried in a 3 km stretch. It looks like a "T" when viewed from above. After the war, a concrete embankment was built, so you can't see the original appearance, but if you walk along the river, you can see part of the water system. It seems that part of the water system that looks like it was laid can be seen. It is said that the paddy fields on the terraces were washed away by flood damage, and then grapes, which were promising as commercial crops, were planted. After the completion of the irrigation work, the large-scale disaster in Nikkawa subsided, and the area around Nikkawa became active in grape cultivation, taking advantage of the well-drained gravel land. In 2008, the Hikawa Water System was certified as a Kanto Civil Engineering Heritage.

Peach is said to have originated in China, and in Japan, peach seeds have been found in ruins from the Yayoi period, and it is also mentioned in the Kojiki and Nihonshoki, which are listed. In China, there is a legend that a hermit who ate the peach became immortal, so it is also called ``Senju,'' and the flowers, leaves, and branches are also believed to have the effect of warding off evil spirits. In Japan, it is said to make demons afraid, and there is a theory that this is connected to the folk tale "Momotaro". In the old days, it was mainly cultivated for ornamental purposes, and it was after the Meiji era that it began to spread as food. In 1899, Mr. Jugoro Okubo of Okayama Prefecture discovered the white peach, which is said to be the "originator of Japanese peach". Thanks to their achievements, various breeds have been created, and their names are known all over the world.

For crossing rivers flowing from mountains, construction methods such as sheeting board (level crossing), elevated flume (overpass above the river), and underground trough (overpass below the river) are constructed according to the conditions of the river. The weirs were made concrete by the Kamanashi River right bank land improvement project implemented from 1965 to 1973, but the positions and essential structures of the irrigation canals that have continued since the Edo period still remain in many places today. Currently, the Tokushima Weir is owned by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and its management is contracted by the Union of Land Improvement Areas on the Right Bank of the Kamanashi River. In addition to being used in the sprinkler nets laid in the paddy fields of Nirasaki City and the Southern Alps City and in the Midaigawa alluvial fan, the running water is also used for fire prevention in communities, flood control, and small hydroelectric power generation using water wheels. There is Reported to the National Council for Cultural Affairs and the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology for new registration. On June 17, 2022, the National Culture Council positioned the Tokushima Weir as a cultural property suitable for national registration. This is the second registered monument in Yamanashi Prefecture, and the third nationally registered monument following Tachibai Canal (Taki Town, Matsuzaka City, Mie Prefecture) and Nikaryo Canal (Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture) becomes.

Tokushima Hyozaemon Toshimasa (year of birth unknown) was a merchant living in Fukagawa, Edo (present-day Koto Ward, Tokyo), and was apparently an avid follower of the Nichiren sect with a wealth of business talent. In the first year of Kanbun (1661), when Hyozaemon visited Mt. Minobu, he learned that Nishigoori, Koma County had a large area of ​​land that had been left untouched due to lack of water. As a result of a field survey later, he dug a weir from Kamitsuburai to Kajikazawa to allow water from the Kamanashi River to pass through, and collected water charges (water usage fees) from the newly developed rice fields and fields converted into rice fields. I made a plan to manage with a rebate of the annual tribute. The feudal lord of the Kofu domain (1600) After the Battle of Sekigahara, Senchiyo Tokugawa, the adopted son of Chikayoshi Hiraiwa, the governor of Kofu, entered the domain, but died young in the same year. Yoshinao Tokugawa (the 9th son of Ieyasu) entered the domain with 250,000 koku of rice, but in 1607, Yoshinao Tokugawa was transferred to the Owari Kiyosu domain for additional fiefs. In 1632, Tadanaga Tokugawa was dismissed for his bad behavior, and Kai Province came under the direct control of the shogunate. In 1651, the 3rd shogun. Tsunashige Tokugawa, the third son of Iemitsu Tokugawa, received Kai Province and established the Kofu domain. Since Tsunashige Tokugawa settled in Edo, the territory was ruled by the Kofu castle keeper. The Kofu castle keeper was Watanabe Buzen no kami, Toda Suo no kami, Watanabe Nagato no kami, Toda Awa no kami, and Okano Izu no kami work. In the spring of the 7th year of Kanbun, the water was successfully channeled for about 17 km to Kuruwada Shinden. However, when the construction was about to be completed, the contract was canceled by the Kofu domain and he was ordered to leave Koshu. His fate after that is unknown, but he remained deeply interested in the fate of the weir he had cut, and died in 1684. It was Mataemon Yazaki of Arino Village who took over Hyozaemon's work and completed the construction in 1911 at the command of the Kofu clan. The Kofu domain started construction of this weir. It was named Tokushima Weir after the person who built it. The Tokushima weir regenerated not only the villages that directly used the water, but also the land of the alluvial fan that spreads over the entire city of the Southern Alps, which was said to "burn even on a moonlit night." Hyōzaemon had the title Hidenori and his wife Myojo, and in 1658, they donated a statue of Shichimen deity with extraordinary spiritual powers, the guardian deity of the Nichiren sect, to Hoenzan Joshinji Temple in Fukagawa.

Basic Concept for Promoting Strengthening of Farm Management Base in Minami-Alps City: Purpose of Basic Concept Formulation and Review Management bodies are to take comprehensive measures to establish an agricultural structure that is responsible for a considerable portion of agricultural production in the region and to promote the strengthening of the foundation of agricultural management. For this reason, the six former towns and villages before the merger formulated a basic plan by 2000. Furthermore, after the merger, we reviewed in 2005, 2010 and 2014 and worked on various measures to strengthen the foundation of farm management. The plan reflects the review of management indicators accompanying the formulation of the Yamanashi Prefecture Agriculture Basic Plan, and the integration of the farmland utilization and accumulation facilitation business into the farmland intermediate management business accompanying the revision of the Agricultural Management Base Strengthening Promotion Act, which came into effect in April 2020. Based on changes in the situation, we will partially review the concept of Minami Alps City and update measures for the sound development of agriculture and farming villages in the city. We will strive to further enhance our services. Character and role of the basic concept: The basic concept is a promotion index to secure and develop certified new farmers, new farmers, certified farmers, agricultural corporations, etc. In addition to clarifying the target agricultural management for each region, we will promote the use and accumulation of farmland for these management bodies by utilizing the farmland intermediate management business, etc., and promote the strengthening of the city's agricultural management base. The basic policy of Yamanashi Prefecture shall serve as a guideline for formulating the basic concept of the city, and the planning period will be 10 years from 2020. Geography: Minami Alps City is a city located in the western part of Yamanashi Prefecture. The eastern part of the city is flat, and the Midaigawa alluvial fan occupies most of it. Fruit trees are thriving in the alluvial fan, and farmers are concentrated in this area. In this area, the Tokushima Weir, the largest agricultural irrigation canal in the prefecture, reaching approximately 17 km (the right bank of the Kamanashi River) is located in the northwestern part of the Kofu Basin, at the foot of the Southern Alps. Straddling an alluvial fan, the northern part is a paddy field, and the southern part bears many fruit trees from spring to autumn. An indispensable part of this area is the prefecture's largest agricultural irrigation canal, which is about 17 km long. Tokushima, a person from Edo Fukagawa. Hyozaemon opened a waterway from Kami-tsuburai, Maruno Town (Nirasaki City) to Kajikasawa (Kajikasawa Town, Minamikoma County), the starting point of water transport on the Fuji River. , Shizuoka Prefecture) by boat, and construction began about 340 years ago, in February 1665, using Hyozaemon's own funds. In the waterway, a water intake was made with masonry, crossed several difficult places such as rivers, and two years later in the spring, water was allowed to flow to Iino Minami Bridge (former Shirane Town). Withdrawing his hand, the later construction was taken over by the Kofu castle owner, and construction was completed in 1670. His ship transportation concept was never realized, and it is unknown when he disappeared. With the completion of this construction, abundant water flowed, the development of rice paddies everywhere progressed, and the lives of local farmers achieved rapid development. Since it was named, it has undergone many restorations and major renovations in its history. In the Showa era, water supply and farmland irrigation facilities were improved, and the drought area, which was said to "burn even on a moonlit night," was changed. It has become possible to irrigate the water, and even today it supports agriculture and livelihoods in the area on the right bank of the Kamanashi River.) exists. Since then, several restoration and repair works have been carried out, and in the early Showa era, it became possible to irrigate the drought-prone area, which was said to be "burned even in the moonlit night," and it has become an important agricultural irrigation channel that supports today's fruit cultivation Note. The main crops in Minami-Alps City are fruit trees such as grapes, peaches, plums and cherries. Peach is the largest cultivated area in the city, followed by grapes and cherries. In addition, the number of management entities that cultivate peaches was the largest, followed by plums, grapes, and cherries. Furthermore, since the total number of crops in the city is smaller than the total number of management bodies of these four crops, one management body cultivates different crops in a complex manner. In Yamanashi Prefecture, in 2022, there were a series of mass thefts of fruits such as peaches and grapes, but in Minami Alps City in the prefecture, the installation of new sensors to prevent theft of fruits has begun ahead of the full-scale harvest season this year. On May 10, JA Minami-Alps City, which handles the introduction, released this new sensor to the media. In addition to adopting a system that combines a parent device and a child device, the new sensor is able to detect intruders in the entire fruit orchard by improving the performance of the sensor itself. In addition, conventional machines often mistakenly detect vehicles passing outside the orchard as intruders, but it seems that the detection range can be adjusted to prevent this. A new function has been added to notify relevant parties of the detection of an intrusion by e-mail, etc. JA Minami-Alps City has newly introduced 30 parent devices and 90 child devices for new sensors. According to the harvest season of cherries, peaches, grapes, etc., the orchards to be installed will be changed. Farmers are hoping that the new sensors will provide greater coverage and give them more peace of mind. The origin of "Japanese plum" is China. It has a long history, and it is believed that it was brought to Japan from China during the Yayoi period. At that time, it was for ornamental purposes, but in the Edo period, it became popular for eating, and after the Meiji period, orchard cultivation began, and it seems to have gained popularity. In the late 19th century, this excellent produce made its way to the United States and was crossed with American varieties. The current sumomo was re-imported and further improved. It seems that this is the reason why the name "plum" is generally established. "Taiyou plum'' is known as a late maturing variety, discovered about 53 years ago by Kazumasa Amemiya in former Enzan city, Yamanashi prefecture. I heard that it was named around 1969. The characteristic fruit weight is about 100 to 150 g, and the shape of the fruit is round, and when fully ripe, it turns purple. The flesh is milky white and dense. With a sugar content of 13-14%, it has a long shelf life and is of excellent quality. "Hollywood Plum" seems to be a good pollinator. It has a high sugar content and a lot of fruit juice, and is characterized by a deep crimson peel. Yamanashi Prefecture has a long history of cultivating plums, dating back to the Edo period. There are records of cultivation in At the time, it was called "koshu daihatankyo,'' and in 1870 this plum came to the United States (Charter city: Alameda County, California, USA) in "Anglo-Saxon civilization: Westward the course of the Empire takes its way: George Berkeley", Kelsey Farm (Berkeley, Alameda County, California) repeatedly improved the variety and returned to Japan at the end of the Taisho period as "Kelsey Plum", where it continues to this day. I heard that "plums'', which were originally grown in the Japanese archipelago, migrated to the United States in the Meiji period and returned as "plums'' after selective breeding. Yamanashi Prefecture's high-quality agricultural products seem to have a certification system called the Yamanashi brand, 'Fuji no Kuni Yamanashi Special Agricultural Products'. Yamanashi Prefecture is proud of Minami Alps City, located in the western part of Yamanashi Prefecture. Due to its inland climate, the temperature difference is large, making it a suitable climate for fruit production. It seems that the soil is very well drained because it is located on the alluvial fan of the Midaigawa River, which will appear later. I hear that these soil and climatic conditions make it one of the most suitable production areas for fruit production in Yamanashi Prefecture. The Minami-Alps City is the largest producer of plums in Japan and has a long history. This great district is famous for producing plums called Yamanashi No. 1. The vast field of more than 100 hectares seems to be filled with plum blossoms during the flowering season, creating a dream-like scene. The Ochiai area, where the JA Minami-Alps City Common Election Center is located, is one of the leading plum production areas in the same JA. It is a large ball Okute variety, which is said to be a mutant strain that was discovered in "Kiyo Plum" in its own garden seems to be the most in the same JA. In a typical year, Wase Oishi plums, Soldam plums, Summer Angel plums, Kiyo plums, Taiyo plums, etc. will continue to be sold until the end of August. From the latter half of February 2022, the low-alcohol wine Picket (in English, workers in dispute, etc., in English, prevent strike breaking) using the squeezed grapes from wine making and the hot spring water of Isawa Hot spring in Yamanashi Prefecture. Refers to watching, to watch. Derived from the French word “stab” for a slight fizz of the drink, it seems to date back to ancient Greek and Roman times. Considered a poor and cheap drink made from winemaking scraps, It seems to have been given to slaves and field workers. In France, it was a favorite drink for vineyard workers at lunch because low alcohol promoted post-lunch productivity, rather than alcohol-fueled turmoil. It is said that it was there.) The production has begun in the city of the Southern Alps. Picket is a drink made by adding water and yeast to the grape squeezed from the process of making wine and fermenting it. It has an alcohol content of about 5% and is characterized by a refreshing taste of fruits and carbonic acid. On February 24, bottling work was carried out at a winery in Minami Alps City, Yamanashi Prefecture, and it seems that the owner of a liquor store in the Isawa Onsen district joined in and plugged the bottle with a crown. Of these, 350 bottles are warmed in the hot spring water of Isawa Hot Spring in March to promote fermentation, and it seems that they will be ready to drink in early April. Manufacturing is almost unheard of in Japan, and wineries and other products seem to be looking forward to the future as new local specialties and special products. The city of Minami-Alps is located at the foot of the Southern Alps on the west side of Yamanashi Prefecture. The city is an area surrounded by beautiful nature. The total area is 264.14 km2, which seems to occupy about 5.9% of the area of Yamanashi prefecture. It has an elongated shape from east to west with Mt. Kitadake, the main peak of the Southern Alps, as the apex, and has an inland climate peculiar to the basin, with severe cold in winter and high temperature in summer. By the time the boat was transported on the Fuji River, it seemed to have prospered as a transportation hub to Shinshu. Fruit trees are actively cultivated in the alluvial fan of the Midai River and the lowlands that follow it, and the orchards that produce a lot of fruits from spring to autumn are said to be representative of this area. People’s footprints can be seen in the city dating back to the Old Stone Age 20,000 years ago. During the Jomon period, many clusters were created around the Ichinose plateau, and the pottery and earthen figures found at the Imojiya archaeological site in Shimoichinose now seem to be important cultural properties of the country. In the Yayoi period, it seems that villages began to run along the spring line at the end of the Midai River alluvial fan in the southern part of the city, which is suitable for paddy cultivation. During the Kofun period, many tumuli, including the Monomizuka tumulus, which is a cultural property designated by the prefecture, were built in the city area. In the Heian period, even in the fan center area of the Midai River alluvial fan, where people could hardly see the footprints until then, development progressed, such as the establishment of a large-scale cow and horse breeding facility called “Hatta Mimaki”. That’s it. In addition, further development of agricultural infrastructure has progressed in the paddy fields at the end of the alluvial fan. In the Kamakura period, Tomitsu Kagami, the fourth son of Minamoto no Kiyomitsu, the grandson of Minamoto no Yoshimitsu, who is said to be the ancestor of Kai Genji, set up a base in the city and his child, Mitsutomo Akiyama, against the background of such an economic foundation. It is said that Nagakiyo Ogasawara and others were placed in the surrounding area to solidify their power. Of these, Mr. Ogasawara is symbolized by “Religion: The word Ogasawara style religion was registered as a trademark by the NPO Ogasawara style / Ogasawara classroom (Japanese horse-back archery technique Ogasawara style) in 1992.” Later, it made a leap all over the country. During the Warring States period, it has been confirmed that the history of “Tokaichi”, which is famous as a festival that nurtures Mrs. Ooi, the mother of Shingen Takeda, and announces spring to the Kofu basin, dates back to at least this period. In addition, “Japanese chess head” and “Stone walling”, which are now designated historical sites of the country, were built on the Midai River, where the legend of hydraulic control of Shingen remains, and the Japanese chess head flooded the Mujina district and downstream villages. In addition to protecting it, Stone walling seems to have functioned not only as the village where Arino was built, but also as the cornerstone of hydraulic control that protects almost the entire area of the Midai River alluvial fan, including the village. In the Edo period, the Midai River alluvial fan had Tokushima dam (the right bank of the Kamanashi River is located at the foot of the Southern Alps mountain range in the northwestern part of the Kofu Basin, straddling the stepped hill alluvial fan of the Kamanashi River and the Midai River alluvial fan. The northern part is a paddy field, and the southern part bears a lot of fruit trees from spring to autumn. The largest agricultural waterway in the prefecture with a length of about 17 km is indispensable in this area. The waterway from Kamitsuburai (Nirasaki City) to the starting point of the Fuji River boat transport, Kajikazawa (Kajikazawa Town, Minamikoma District) was excavated, and the newly reclaimed rice field was developed in the wasteland and Koshin Suruga Mikuni (currently Yamanashi and Nagano prefectures). It was planned from a far-reaching concept of connecting Shizuoka Prefecture) by boat, and it seems that construction was started by Hyozaemon’s private property in February 1665, about 356 years ago. Most of the waterways are earthen waterways and masonry. In the spring of two years later, the water was passed to Iino Minamibashi (former Shirane Town), but in the spring, Hyozaemon suddenly withdrew from the construction and suddenly withdrew from the construction. Later construction was taken over by Kofu chamberlain, and it is reported that the construction was completed in 1670. The ship transportation concept of Hyozaemon was never realized, and it is unknown where it disappeared, but this construction With the completion, abundant water flowed, the development of productive fields progressed everywhere, and the lives of local farmers achieved dramatic development. It seems that many restorations and major renovations have been carried out in the history of the river. , It seems that it still supports agriculture and livelihoods in the area on the right bank of the Kamanashi River.) It seems that you can see the traces of the efforts of people who have been suffering but have improved their lives. Even in the modern era, the fight against water continued, and in the Meiji era, the first prefectural sabo work in Yamanashi Prefecture, “stone levee of Ichinosegawa,” and in the Taisho era, Japan’s first full-scale concrete under the direct control of the country. It seems that the “Ashiyasu dam”, which is a dam, was built. On the other hand, in the drought area, which was said to be “burnable even in the moonlit night,” the Noro River water supply was opened and the land improvement enterprise on the right bank of the Kamanashi River was finally established after the war, and it seems that it was released from the chronic water shortage. In addition, even in the southern part of the city, where there was so much flooding that it was said to be “cloudy and three-dimensional” (even if it was cloudy, the water overflowed), flood control measures were taken by improving the gutter gate and drainage pump station. In the Midai River fan-shaped area, which was not suitable for rice cultivation, as you can see from the fact that a tobacco sales office was set up in the Meiji era, upland crops have been actively cultivated, and a culture of commerce has been created. It is said that it became the soil for producing Ippei Wakao(This year marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Ippei Wakao (born January 9, 1821), a representative of the Koshu conglomerate. Wakao started out as a merchant with a single balance pole, and in the Meiji era, he was the first mayor of Kofu and a member of the House of Peers, a large taxpayer. As a businessman, he gained the management rights of companies that carry important infrastructure in the imperial capital of Tokyo, such as Tokyo Electric Light and Tokyo Stagecoach Railway, and made the name “Koshu Conglomerate” roar throughout Japan.), a former Koshu merchant. Also, in 1839, the Nishino Shoseido (penmanship place) was opened by the villagers ahead of other areas, and it seems that it was an area that realized the importance of “human resource development” from early on. This area, which was divided into 62 villages in the first year of the Meiji era, became 6 towns and villages of Hatta village, Shirane town, Ashiyasu village, Wakakusa town, Kushigata town, and Kosai town after the merger of Meiji and Showa, April 1, 2003. It is said that the city of the Southern Alps was born by the merger of these six towns and villages, and continues to this day. Yamanashi Prefecture has the highest peach yield in Japan. Production is flourishing in the city, and every spring, peach blossoms bloom like a pink carpet, attracting athletes and tourists from outside the city at the paradise on earth marathon, which is a major event in the city. Also, it is said that peaches were used not only for food but also for rituals. The oldest peach kernel in the prefecture has been excavated from the Daishi Higashitanbo site (Kosai district) in the middle of the Yayoi period (2000 years ago), and it seems that it is deeply related to the city from a historical point of view. The Iris sanguinea community on Mt. Kushigata is famous nationwide and is highly regarded academically. It seems that it was designated as a natural monument in Yamanashi Prefecture in 2002. In the city area, iris raising associations and citizen groups carry out planting activities mainly along the Takizawa River, and the iris fair is held every May, which is said to be familiar to the citizens. Lagopus muta seems to have inhabited widely in the cold regions of the Northern Hemisphere, but it is a creature left in the high mountains by moving south from the continent to the Japanese archipelago during the ice age. It was designated as a national special natural monument in 1955. Due to recent warming and the movement of animals that did not live in the alpine zone to aim for grouse, it seems that the number is decreasing year by year around Mt. Kitadake. It is said that it is also the logo mark of the Southern Alps UNESCO Eco Park. When selecting the symbols, in addition to trees, flowers, and birds, we asked for symbols that image the city of the Southern Alps, and “Mt. Kitadake” was selected. Mt. Kitadake is the second highest peak in Japan (elevation 3193 m) and is one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan and 100 famous mountains in Yamanashi. In 2014, the Southern Alps, including Mt. Kitadake, was registered in the UNESCO Eco Park, and the surrounding area is set as a core area to be strictly protected. The city seems to be working towards sustainable development by preserving the rich ecosystems and biodiversity of the region. It’s located in the western part of Yamanashi Prefecture, and has a long shape in the east and west located at the foot of the Southern Alps. 日本第2位の高峰北岳(白峰三山: 鳳凰山, 夜叉神峠, 奈良田, 仙丈ヶ岳, 間ノ岳;「白峰, 此山本州第一ノ高山ニシテ西方ノ鎮タリ. 国風ニ詠スル所ノ, 甲斐ヶ根コレニシテ, 南北ニ連ナリテ三峰アリ. 其北方最モ高キモノヲ指シテ, 今専ラ白峰ト稱ス: 甲斐國志(1814年)小笠原長恒の次男, 松平貞次郎定能: 官位: 従五位下伊予守,(養父, 松平定則)編纂, 家系, 久松松平家氏: 知多半島阿古屋(半田市付近, アコヤ貝で著名)発祥)がある. 南には, 日本の堂々, 第1位の富士山, 北には八ヶ岳(南: 編笠山 (2,524 m), 西岳 (2,398 m), 三ッ頭 (2,580 m), 権現岳 (2,715 m), 赤岳 (2,899 m), 中岳 (2,700 m), 阿弥陀岳 (2,805 m), 横岳 (2,829 m), 硫黄岳 (2,760 m), 赤岩の頭 (2,656 m), 峰の松目 (2,567 m), 夏沢峠, 北, 箕冠山 (2,590 m), 根石岳 (2,603 m), 天狗岳 (2,646 m), 中山 (2,496 m), 丸山 (2,330 m), 麦草峠, 茶臼山; 長篠合戦, 織田信長, 徳川家康の連合軍(陣が前)対 武田勝頼 (2,384 m), 縞枯山 (2,403 m), 北横岳 (2,480 m), 大岳 (2,381 m), 双子山 (2,224 m), 大河原峠, 蓼科山; 諏訪富士: 諏訪御料人(勝頼の母)父, 諏訪頼重 (2,530 m), 八子ヶ峰 (1,833 m))が望め, 美しい自然に囲まれた地域である. Located in the west of the Kofu basin, it has an inland climate peculiar to the basin, with severe winters and cold summers. The name of the city of the Southern Alps was selected in September 2002 after a public offering. There are several main reasons why this city name was chosen. In addition, it is the second city to use katakana in the city name after the former name of Koza city in Okinawa city, and it seems that the city name using foreign words is the first in Japan. This area, located at the foot of the Southern Alps, can be imagined geographically. It is consistent with the characteristics of the natural environment, such as the rich nature and clear air of the Southern Alps shared by the six towns and villages (Ashiyasu Village, Kushigata Town, Kosai Town, Shirane Town, Hatta Village, Wakakusa Town). It is a name that has a bright and fresh image as a tourist city. Kiwifruit is a fruit that originated in China and was improved and made famous in New Zealand. There is also another name, Actinidia chinensis. In Japan, it is often called kiwi for short, and in English-speaking countries, it is also called chinase goose berry. It is said that the name comes from the fact that the shape of the fruit is similar to Kiwibird, the national bird of New Zealand. It seems that there are many varieties, but it seems that the varieties with green flesh called Hayward introduced this time are the most popular. In recent years, from around 2000, yellow kiwis with yellow flesh from New Zealand called gold kiwis and golden kiwis have begun to be distributed. Regarding cultivation, I heard that it is an attractive fruit tree because it grows vigorously, there are almost no pests, and it can be cultivated completely without pesticides. It seems that it can be cultivated outdoors all year round in the west of the Kanto region. It is said that the number of years of fruiting is 1 to 2 years for seedlings and 3 to 8 years for seedlings. As I forgot to say, male and female catabolic strains are different from male and female, so it seems that two trees, a female variety and a male variety, are needed. I’ve heard that you can’t get fruit with just one. Again, Hayward is the most popular variety in the world. It is large and has excellent storability. After harvesting, it seems that it can be stored in the refrigerator for 6 months. Although it has a relatively short history, it seems to be produced in various parts of the jurisdiction. Kiwifruit requires ripening after harvesting. At first, it is hard even when pressed and has a strong acidity, but when it is ripened, it tends to become elastic and weaken. Although it is considered to be a climberic fruit, few individuals naturally increase ethylene production after harvesting, except for disease-damaged fruits, and many seem to wither without ripening. By elucidating the ripening mechanism of kiwifruit, and by comparing various kiwifruit varieties introduced from China in recent years with Hayward from the viewpoint of inducing an ethylene production system by ethylene, Hayward In recent years, NARO seems to have clarified the reason why it is difficult to ripen. Around 1990 to 1994: During ripening, physiological changes such as induction of ethylene production system involved in ripening, softening of pulp, saccharification of starch, increase in respiration, decrease in acid, and production of aroma are likely to occur. All of these have in common that they are promoted by ethylene, but there seems to be a difference in their reactivity with them. It seems that sufficient contact with ethylene is necessary for the induction of the ethylene production system and the generation of aroma. On the other hand, it was found that other physiological changes can occur even with inadequate contact. However, it seems that the fruit will not be fully ripe unless the ethylene production system involved in ripening is induced. From these facts, I heard that it became clear that ethylene production needs to be induced for kiwifruit to ripen. Comparing the difficulty of inducing the ethylene-forming system involved in ripening in Hayward with the varieties introduced from China in recent years, there is a considerable difference in the difficulty of inducing the ethylene-forming system. It seems that it was recognized. I have heard that it has become clear that Hayward is significantly less likely to be induced, whereas it is easily induced in some Chinese varieties. From this result, it seems that it was clarified that the difficulty of inducing the ethylene generating system involved in ripening makes the ripening of Hayward difficult. By searching for varieties that are highly sensitive to ethylene, it is thought that varieties that do not require ripening can be found. It was said that ethylene treatment was indispensable to obtain a delicious ripe Hayward. Measures against successive fruit thefts in Yamanashi Prefecture with the latest technology. JA Minami Alps City has introduced high-performance security equipment that can grasp the situation of the field even from a distance. 500 security cameras are on the rise. Crime is never allowed. According to the Japan Security Equipment Association, located in Hamamatsucho, Minato Ward, Tokyo, security equipment is used to protect people and things from crime in target buildings, shops, and streets. In particular, security cameras, digital recorders (for crime prevention), and LED security lights are used to "deter crime," "increase a sense of security," "quickly resolve incidents and accidents," and "prepare to prevent crimes from reoccurring." It's like a security device used to achieve a purpose. For example, RBSS (Excellent Crime Prevention Equipment Certification System) certified equipment is equipment that has passed the examination based on the association's certification standards that meet the purpose. RBSS seems to have certified many security devices since 2008. It seems that the certification standards dictate the contents of the instruction manual so that the user can use the product for security purposes, and that the measurement method is restricted so that the performance is not exaggerated. There seems to be an increasing number of customers who use criteria such as "being RBSS" or being compliant with RBSS.



A hybrid of Japanese plum and Japanese plum. The peel is green and the flesh is red. One of the main plum varieties in Japan. Soldam is the main variety of plums from Yamanashi Prefecture. It looks green, but the flesh is red, and it is famous as a delicious variety with a unique combination of sourness and sweetness. The harvest period is long, but the best time to eat them is from mid to late July.

The origin of "Japanese plum" is said to be China. It has a long history and is believed to have been brought to Japan from China during the Yayoi period. At that time, it was for ornamental purposes, but in the Edo period, it became popular for eating, and it seems that orchard cultivation began after the Meiji period. In the latter half of the 19th century, this "Japanese plum" was brought to the United States and crossed with American varieties. The current sumomo was re-imported and further improved. The bright red flesh of the beautiful Soldam leaves a strong impression with its rich sourness and sweetness.

On June 12, 2023, at the JA Minami Alps City Ochiai Common Selection Office, which is the largest plum production area in Japan. Three days earlier than last year, the co-selection of the extremely early-maturing Japanese plum "Wase Oishi'' has begun. On June 14, when the shipment volume increased, plums with colored plums were brought to the common election office one after another, and about 5.7 tons were shipped to markets nationwide. Agricultural instructor Tezuka of the joint selection office inspected the collected plums for their coloration, size, and whether they were damaged by rubbing leaves. The Ochiai area is one of the prefecture's leading plum production areas, producing many varieties such as 'Soldum' and 'Summer Angel'. In addition, high-class large ball varieties "Kiyo" and "Koju" (similarly large ball plum "Kiyo" branch varieties. The breed was registered in 2012 and is growing in the same JA jurisdiction. Compared to "Kiyo", the harvest period is It is characterized by a delay of about a month, and has almost the same characteristics as Kiyo, such as a sugar content of 15 to 18 degrees and a large one exceeding 300 g.)The JA is planning to sell 1,400 tons of plums this year.

Kuwado's Five Great Myo-o statues are said to have been made in the late Heian period, using a single piece of cypress wood. In the Edo period, it was decorated with bright colors such as red and blue, but during recent restoration work, it has been restored to its original beautiful appearance. Fudo hall's auspiciousness is related to Jizo-in Temple, and he founded Morin hermitage (to become Jizo-in Temple after combining with Hoju hermitage) to mourn for the family's bodhisattva. In 1586, Fudo hall was built in this place, which is the place corresponding to the Omotekimon(front demon gate: Ushitora (艮), which is said to be the worst in Onmyodo, the northeast corner)of Kuwado, and the Godai Myo-o enshrined in Morin hermitage was moved. Since then, it is recorded that Myo-o was enshrined in Kuwado as an object of worship to protect against disasters and gain worldly benefits. Based on the placement of the Five Great Myoos in Kuwado, it is believed that they were enshrined in a temple of the Shingon sect. In the case of Jizo-in Temple of the Soto sect, which enshrines Ususama Myoo, who has the merit of "purifying uncleanness,'' one of the Five Great Myoos should be enshrined, but Kongoyasha Myoo is enshrined reason. Therefore, it was enshrined in a temple of the Shingon sect, but the temple was washed away due to flooding caused by the flooding of the Kotori River (currently the Fuefuki River). There is a theory that it may have been moved. The current Fudo-do was built in 1719. As mentioned above, the arrangement of the five great Myoos is centered around Fudo Myoo, followed by Gosansei Myoo (east), Gundari Myoo (south), Daiitoku Myoo (west), and Kongo Yasha Myoo (north). At Fudo-do, they are lined up in a row with Fudo Myo-o in the middle. After the restoration work and exhibition at the Tokyo National Museum, a new preservation facility was built, and now it protects the Kuwado district and its residents behind Fudo hall. 五大明王: 仏教の信仰の対象で, 密教の尊格である明王の中でも'不動明王'を中心とした, 降三世明王, 軍荼利明王, 大威徳明王, 金剛夜叉明王の五体を指す.

In Kuwado, Kasugai Town, there is an old temple on the border with Yamanashi City, which is surrounded by peach orchards near the Fuefuki River. In 1160, during the Heiji War, Fujiwara retainer Motegi Shichirobei Nobusada, who moved from the capital to Kuwado Village in Kai Province, built Morin-an (together with Hoju-an, later to become Jizo-in Temple). Although it is not certain, the five wooden statues of the Five Great Myoos were built. During the Warring States Period, the statues of the Five Great Myoos enshrined in Jizo-in Temple were moved to their current location, which is located in the village's Omotekimon (northeast direction), in order to protect Kuwado from disasters. Fudo hall was built in 1719. The Fudoson Festival is held on January 28th every year. It is deeply worshiped by local residents as "Gotaison". Local volunteers "Kuwado Gotaison no Kai" (established in 2012 by volunteers from the Kuwato area. Currently has 62 members.) The five great kings and the Kasugai town centered on Kuwado. We are developing a wide range of regional revitalization projects such as environmental improvement. In April 2013, we held a gallery exhibition of 113 cultural and artistic works by local residents in 20 categories. Manjushage (cluster amaryllis) was planted in the flower bed, a history study meeting and volunteer guide training course were held in October, and a music event, Music Festa, was held in November around the precincts. Tsutomu Yamamoto (Honorary Member of the Tokyo National Museum), and Aiko Fujimaki (born in Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture), who is famous for her folk tales of Yamanashi. A member of the Japan Oral Literature Society, winner of the 11th NHK Kanto-Koshinetsu Area Broadcasting Culture Award), and held lectures on "Odenicchan" and "Fefuki Gonzaburo," which are handed down in Kasugai. The environment has been improved as part of the process, and in autumn, manjushage (cluster amaryllis) adds color.

New peach variety 'Yume Mizuki (wase variety)': Katsuhiro Shintani, Masaru Takekoshi, Hidehito Amemiya, Akiko Sato, Masanori Miyake, Masato Inomata, Takahiro Tezuka, Akira Tomita, Agricultural Technology Division, Department of Agricultural Administration, Yamanashi Prefecture. In 1988, full-scale crossbreeding of white-fleshed peaches was started, and so far, 'Yumeshizuku', which can be harvested between 'Hikawa Hakuho' and 'Hakuho', and 'Chiyohime', which is very early and harvested several days earlier than 'Chiyohime'. 2 cultivars of 'Himekko' are grown. In Yamanashi Prefecture, peach varieties that mature earlier than 'Hakuho' are often harvested at the same time as the rainy season. Especially between 'Yumeshizuku' and 'Hakuho', there are few excellent cultivars. Therefore, at the Yamanashi Prefectural Fruit Tree Experiment Station, we have We have developed a white-fleshed common peach variety for eating raw that is stable and has excellent coloration. As a result, 'Momo Yamanashi No. 13' was selected as a white meat line with excellent fruit quality and coloring. 22,586). Development process : 'Yume Mizuki' is the main medium-season variety of Yamanashi Prefecture, and uses 'Asama White Peach', which is a large ball and has excellent taste, as a seed parent as the pollen parent. Crossbreeding was performed in 2000 at the Yamanashi Prefectural Orchard Experimental Field (Ezohara, Yamanashi City). The obtained seeds were immediately enucleated, placed in a sterilized Petri dish, stored in a thermostatic chamber at 4°C for 3 months, then sown and cultivated in a glass greenhouse. Individual numbers '12-19' were assigned and planted in selected fields. In 2007, it was first selected and named the strain 'Momo Yamanashi No. 13' ancestor. After that, in 2010, secondary selection was carried out because it is easy to color and has excellent fruit quality such as fruit weight and sugar content. In 2011, it was recognized as a promising line that could be harvested about 3 days before 'Hakuho', had a stable sugar content, and had good coloring. The application was published in March 2012, and the variety was registered as 'Yume Mizuki' in June 2013. Cultivation points : As a high-quality variety that can be harvested before 'Hakuho', it seems to be possible to cultivate from early to late production areas in the prefecture. Marsupials are used as a basis for cultivation because many fruit points appear on the pericarp in sunny areas such as the upper part of the tree crown. In addition, since the anthocinin coloring just below the pericarp is strong, it seems that a large amount of red pigment enters from the pericarp to the pulp. However, no decrease in sugar content or shelf life due to the addition of a large amount of red pigment has been observed. It bears good fruit because it has many flower buds and pollen. Since the fruit is large, proper fruit setting management such as bud thinning and fruit thinning should be carried out to prevent excessive fruit setting. Since the outer pericarp is often colored, care should be taken to avoid excessive coloration when managing coloration after bag removal. Depending on the year, pulp damage may occur in the latter half of the harvest period, so try to harvest at the right time with emphasis on firmness. 'Yume mizuki' is a cultivar bred in 2000 by crossing 'Asama white peach' with 'Gyosei'. In 2007, the first selection was conducted, and the line number was assigned as 'Momo Yamanashi No. 13' digit. In 2010, a secondary selection was made, and since both cultivability and fruit quality were excellent, we applied for cultivar registration in 2011, and in 2013 it was registered as 'Yume Mizuki' (registration number 22,586). Harvest time is mid-to late-July at Esohara, Yamanashi City (elevation 440 m), about 5 days after 'Yumeshizuku' and about 3 days before 'Hakuho'. The fruit is oblate and large, weighing around 350 g, but has a slightly distorted shape. The sugar content is as high as 14.9 ゚Brix, and the acidity is. The taste is good because of the low. The coloration is good, but because the fruits in the upper part of the crown are conspicuous in the formation of fruit points, marsupial cultivation is the basic method. Various varieties are cultivated in the jurisdiction, centering on "Hikawa Hakuho'', "Kanoiwa Hakuto'', "Hakuho'', "Asama Hakuto'', "Natsukko'', and "Kawanakajima Hakuto''. Farmers put their hands into each one from early spring every year and grow them with affection. Harvest while monitoring the condition so that it reaches the consumer at the best timing. JA Fruits Yamanashi inspects all peaches to confirm quality. The outdoor market starts in mid-June, and about 20 varieties of peaches will appear one after another until the end of August. In the JA jurisdiction, we hold management workshops for producers and provide thorough farming guidance. In addition, he recommends soil preparation using organic matter, and in addition to pruning trees that receive plenty of sunlight, he seems to be working on cultivation with reduced pesticides. International activities to reduce greenhouse gases "4 per mille initiative" (If the amount of carbon in the surface of the world's soil can be increased by 4 per mille annually, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which increases due to human economic activities, can be reduced to virtually zero. Initiatives aimed at realizing a decarbonized society from the agricultural sector, based on the idea that it is possible to Equivalent to 0.4%, proposed by the French government at COP21 (Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) in 2015, and as of December 2022, 744 countries including Japan and international organizations are participating. Yamanashi Prefecture participated for the first time as a local government in Japan in April 2020. In orchards such as peaches and grapes, pruning is performed in winter. The pruned branches generated at that time are used for photosynthesis of plants. When pruning is burned, the carbon combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, which is released into the atmosphere. In addition, it seems that it is difficult to decompose by microorganisms etc. By sowing the charcoal in the field, it is possible to semi-permanently retain the carbon in the soil, which leads to a reduction in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In addition, it seems that grass growing in orchards to improve the soil environment, and the spread of organic matter such as compost on the fields, also lead to the accumulation of carbon in the soil. It seems that plowing grass and rice straw into the fields and spreading charcoal from rice husks on the fields will lead to the accumulation of carbon in the soil. In addition, attention is also paid to efforts to suppress the generation of nitrous oxide and methane, which are types of greenhouse gases. For vegetables and crops, excluding paddy rice, fertilizer is concentrated around the roots of crops rather than the entire field. We aim to suppress the generation of nitrous oxide by sprinkling local fertilizers, using slow-release fertilizers that slowly dissolve fertilizer components, and using mulch, which is a covering material used to cover the soil. Yamanashi Prefectural Agricultural Technology Division, Yamanashi Prefectural Nakakita Agricultural Office, Yamanashi Prefectural Kyoutou Agricultural Office, JA Minami Alps City, JA Fruits Yamanashi, JA Fuefuki, Comprehensive Agricultural Technology Center, Yamanashi Prefectural Environmental Science Inspection Center, Farmers Yamanashi. Many of the pruned branches generated in orchards in the prefecture seem to be incinerated or pulverized and plowed and returned to the soil. Incineration is a source of carbon dioxide, and even if pulverized, it will become microorganisms in a few years. It is decomposed and released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. Therefore, we examined efforts to store carbon in the soil by converting pruned branches generated in orchards into charcoal and storing it in the soil by no-till grass cultivation and organic matter input.) and reviewing the incineration part of the pruned branches, contributing to the control of global warming in the agricultural field. In preparation for large-scale disasters such as huge earthquakes and typhoons, Yamanashi City has concluded an emergency disaster agreement with JA Fruit Yamanashi to use facilities for storing relief supplies. In preparation for large-scale disasters, Yamanashi City signed an emergency disaster agreement. On March 20, 2023, at the agreement ceremony held at the Yamanashi City Hall, the mayor and the president of the representative board of directors attended, and signed an agreement that allows the use of JA's co-election office in the event of a large-scale disaster. are exchanging. The agreement stipulates that JA Fruit Yamanashi's nine common election sites in the city will be used as bases for storing large amounts of relief supplies sent in the event of a large-scale disaster and for distribution to citizens. It seems that there is. On June 21, 2023, as the harvest season for peaches, a specialty product of Koshu City, approaches, JA and the police jointly patrol the fields to prevent theft damage. A joint patrol was carried out by about 40 people, including the staff of JA Fruit Yamanashi in Koshu City and the police officers of the Kusakabe Police Station, which has jurisdiction over the area. Prior to departure, the president of JA Fruits Yamanashi greeted the gathered members and issued a warning. After this, a JA car with a blue revolving light and a police patrol car are heading to patrol the peach fields and the area. When the group arrived at the field, they checked for signs of suspicious persons and signs that the fruit had been torn off. In 2022, at least eight peach thefts occurred within the jurisdiction of the Kusakabe Police Station, and the damage amounted to about 3 million yen. The president of JA Fruit Yamanashi said, "Last year, a large number of unripe peaches were stolen in mid-June, so we will patrol with more caution than last year. If there are any suspicious people, remember the characteristics well. I want you to report it to the police," he said. It seems that patrols will be carried out almost every day until around October this year. SORACOM, INC. (Headquarters: Tamagawa, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, IoT platform seamlessly and securely connects devices, communications, and the cloud, supporting the success of projects from small start to large-scale deployment) In July 2022, we will adopt the cloud camera service “Sorakame (which can constantly record camera images in the cloud via Wi-Fi)” for the anti-theft demonstration experiment of agricultural products at “JA Fruit Yamanashi”. In recent years, crimes involving the theft of pre-harvest crops grown with great care by producers have become a problem and have occurred all over the country. Yamanashi Prefecture boasts the highest production volume of grapes and peaches in Japan, and seems to be focusing on countermeasures against theft, such as establishing a support system that subsidizes the cost of security patrols and the installation of security cameras. Introduced as one of the countermeasures against theft of crops such as peaches and 'Shine Muscat grapes'. Mainly, the state of the farm at night is filmed with a camera, and the data can be viewed remotely in real time, and theft prevention is strengthened in cooperation with the night surveillance patrol. At the end of October 2022, the harvest of Kogarashi grapes, which will be shipped about two months later than normal outdoor cultivation, has begun in Yamanashi City. These grapes are grown in greenhouses for agricultural use, protected from rain, and are shipped later than the usual open-field cultivation. Currently, seven farmers in Makioka Town, Yamanashi City seem to be growing two types of grapes: Kyoho grapes and Shine Muscat grapes. In addition, the Kyoho grapes introduced this time are harvested, and while the leaves are turning yellow, they are carefully harvested one bunch at a time using scissors. According to JA Fruit Yamanashi, the shipment volume of this year is expected to be about 10 tons, which is the same as usual, and it seems that shipments will continue until around the beginning of December, mainly for the Kanto area market.

About 400 years ago, a unique technique called 'Tana-shiki cultivation' was devised to adapt to the humid and rainy climate of Japan. Returning to the topic, the Kyoutou region was poor in nutrients and water retention capacity and was not suitable for rice cultivation. It can be said that in the Edo period, it was uniquely famous as a production area for fruit trees. Grapes are said to have been cultivated since the Heian period. The history and wisdom of our predecessors are still being passed down. On the sloping alluvial fan, suitable crops for fruit trees such as grapes and peaches have been historically practiced for generations according to the soil, topography, weather, etc., and Japan's unique trellis cultivation of grapes has developed. "Makioka Town" merged with Yamanashi City and Mitomi Village, which were adjacent to the former Makioka Town, Higashiyamanashi District, and became "Makioka Town, Yamanashi City" in 2005 (March 22, 2005) under the new municipal system. It is the southern part of Yamanashi City, bordering Koshu City to the east, Fuefuki City to the south, and Kofu City to the west. Total area 53.11 km2, about 10.8 km east-west, about 8.5 km north-south, altitude 299 m (Ichicho Tanaka) to 1,376 m (Obinayama), city hall location is 342.88 m above sea level. The Fuefuki River runs through the center of the city from north to south, and three rivers, the Shigekawa River and the Hikawa River, flow in from the east. Makioka area: The central area of Yamanashi City, bordering Nagano Prefecture to the north, Koshu City to the east, and Kofu City to the west. The total area is 101.85 km2, about 13.5 km from east to west, and about 17.5 km from north to south. Cultivated land and villages are concentrated in the southern hills along the Tsuzumi River in the south, the Koto River in the southeast, and the Fuefuki River in the east. Agricultural land is distributed from 420 m to 900 m above sea level. The climate is inland, with large temperature differences the land is fertile and productive. Fruit cultivation is thriving, and among grapes, Kyoho grapes, also known as “black diamonds,” are the number one producer in Japan. The Mitomi area is the northern part of Yamanashi City, bordering Nagano Prefecture and Saitama Prefecture to the north, and Koshu City to the east. It has a steep topography with few flatlands and is surrounded by 2,000 m-class mountains. The northern part is a mountainous area belonging to the Chichibu mountain range and is designated as Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park. The total area is 134.91 km2, 13.125 km from east to west, and 17 km from north to south. Elevation ranges from 600 m (Kamiyuki Shiobara district) to 2,592 m (Kokushigatake). The Fuefuki River runs north-south through the center of the area, and most of the villages are formed on flat land or slopes facing the highway along the river. On the morning of June 15, 2022, a farmer noticed that a large number of unharvested peaches had disappeared from a field in Fuefuki City, and a total of about 1,400 peaches were stolen from four adjacent fields, according to police. I know from my research. The police suspected that it was stolen from the morning of the 14th to the 15th of the same month and investigated it as a theft case. Around 7:00 am on the 15th, a farmer in Kuwado, Kasugai Town, Fuefuki City, noticed that a large number of peaches he had been growing had disappeared and reported to the police. According to police and forensic investigations, about 1,400 peaches of a cultivar called "Hikawa Hakuhou Peach", which had been cultivated in four adjacent fields and had not yet been harvested, were lost, and the damage was worth about 420,000 yen. Seems to have climbed to According to the police, it was confirmed that there was no abnormality in the field when the farm work was finished around 11:00 am on the 14th, so the police said that someone invaded the field from around noon on the 14th to the morning of the 15th. It is suspected that he took it away and was investigated as a theft case. The other day, about 1,000 peaches about to be harvested were stolen from an orchard in Fukushima City, Fukushima Prefecture, and the police investigated it as a theft case. Around 5:00 am on July 11, at an orchard in Kamata, Fukushima City, about 1,000 unharvested peaches were found missing from the trees and reported to the police. According to the police, some of the large orchards near the road were targeted, and the damage amount seems to be about 160,000 yen. The police are investigating the theft as someone stole it during the 10 hours from the end of the work around 6:30 pm on the 10th to the start of the work on the 11th morning. A female parliamentarian elected from another prefecture is using SNS to post about the theft of agricultural products, which has become a serious problem in recent years. I've been receiving a lot of consultations for a long time, and I've been moving to see if I can do something about it. However, the problem is complex and no breakthrough has been found yet. For example, since the introduction of cameras to capture evidence is a particularly heavy financial burden for small-scale farmers, we are discussing whether it is possible to provide assistance that also serves as a countermeasure against wildlife damage. After being arrested for red-handed crime, we have heard from elderly farmers in rural areas that, even if they witness the scene, they cannot move because they are afraid of counterattacks if there are multiple young foreigners. There are patrols and other measures in the area, but there is a limit without manpower. We must take measures that do not increase the burden on the victim's side. When I found it, I immediately reported it, and when I actually talked to the small-scale victim, I said, Are you a technical intern trainee at some farmers? In the countryside, people understand human relationships and circumstances, so some people give up reporting and fall asleep. It seems difficult to mercilessly ask for a report. Even if you report and catch it, you will not be prosecuted, which is really frustrating and a problem for thieves. Lawmakers cannot intervene in the prosecution's decisions, but too many cases are not prosecuted. Don't you take the theft of agricultural products lightly? Even if you are on camera, you will not be prosecuted. Foreigners who have committed criminal acts should be prosecuted and brought to justice, and should be immediately deported stop selling. Large-scale thefts are stolen because they sell, so it is necessary to stop the sales route. For example, I understand that there are formal people, such as street sales where the provenance is unknown, and sales on Mercari, etc., but if they are used as a destination for handling stolen goods, it is not possible to introduce sales qualifications such as identity guarantees for agricultural product listings. It seems that I am looking for it. In my opinion, people who commit crimes are the worst and cause a lot of trouble. However, there are many fundamental problems, and they are piling up. In the first place, there are countless reasons why agriculture has not developed (Special class (treatment) of agricultural workers(The number of household members engaged in self-employed farming as a regular job among the farming population. Since 1985, the number of commercial farmers (farmers with farmland of 30 a or more or annual sales of agricultural products of 500,000 yen or more)), declining birthrate, aging population, soaring fertilizer prices, immigration policy, exclusively defense posture, japan's economic stagnation for about 30 years, etc.). I think it's still meaningful for young politicians to send out information, but the original point is what to do in order not to make more people sad. Japan's rank has fallen among the developing countries, the happiness ranking has dropped significantly, young people are worried about their future, and they are trying to break through vested interests. In Japan, where there is no leeway, the question is what to do if Japanese politicians and governments torture Japanese people any further. Without flattering authority or status, I would like you to pay attention to gradually reduce the number of people who say that if only they are good, they don't care about others. In order for children and young people with a bright future to become shameless politicians and adults, why don't the government lift its weight and release the policies that oppress the people? On August 9, 2022, a conference made up of peach-producing regions nationwide, such as Fuefuki City, will be held online. It seems that the mayors of Fuefuki, Yamanashi, Koshu, Fukushima, and Kinokawa in Wakayama Prefecture participated in the meeting. It has been confirmed that they will discuss the United States' request to Japan to lift the ban on imports of peaches, and cooperate with related organizations to collect information on the quality and price of American peaches. In addition, it seems that they have decided to hold a "National Peach Summit" in Yamanashi City next year in 2023, where people involved in the production areas will gather to discuss how to respond to the request to lift the ban on imports. When the six towns and villages (Isawa Town, Misaka Town, Ichinomiya Town, Yatsushiro Town, Sakaigawa Village, Kasugai Town) merged on October 12, 2004, the name of the new city was solicited. It was narrowed down to two points, “Kyoto City”, and as a result of the final vote, it was decided to be Fuefuki City. Just as the water flowing through the six merged towns and villages gathers in the Fuefuki River, a number of streams became a big flow triggered by the merger, and the name was raised to become the center of Yamanashi, and it became a big swell and the ocean. It is a name with a wish to make a leap forward (nationwide), and as the name suggests, it is widely known. In addition, on August 1, 2006, it was merged with Ashigawa Village and became the current city of Fuefuki. The city's soil is fertile and well-drained, with long daylight hours and a large temperature difference between day and night, making it an excellent location for fruit tree cultivation. According to the fruit tree production and shipment statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, it is confirmed that the cultivated area, yield and shipment amount of peaches and grapes are all the highest among the municipalities in Japan. In praise of the achievements of the ancestors who have led the cultivation of historic Japanese fruit trees, we pledged to protect and further develop the wonderful fruit villages that we can be proud of throughout the country. On April 10, 2014, he declared “Japan's No. 1 Taoyuan Township”. In addition, the city has many diverse and valuable historical and cultural resources. The artifacts excavated from the Shakado and Ichinosawa sites during the Jomon period have been designated as important cultural properties, and valuable remains such as the front and rear burial mounds and stone mounds of the Kofun period remain. In the subsequent eras, Teramoto Abandoned Temple, the oldest temple in Yamanashi Prefecture during the Hakuho period, Kai Kokubunji Temple and Nanji Temple during the Nara period, and Isawa no Mikuri, the only Mikuriya(Kitchen: Jinryō, a manor of an ancient and medieval shrine)in Kai Province, were built. The city has been the center of Kai Province for about a thousand years from the establishment of ancient Kai to the relocation of Takeda's building to Kofu in 1519, and it was truly the “City of Kai Province Millennium.” Isawa hot spring Village and Kasugai hot spring Village, which are one of the best hot spring villages in Japan, welcome many tourists throughout the four seasons as tourist accommodation bases in Yamanashi Prefecture, and the city's public hot spring facilities and footbath facilities that utilize the blessed hot spring resources are It is crowded as a place of healing and charm for many people including citizens. It seems that we will continue to nurture “hospitality hot spring village” through the scenery and festivals that color the seasons. Located slightly east of the central part of the Kofu basin, this area collects water systems flowing from the mountainous hills in the northern, eastern, and southern parts of the basin, and the Fuefuki River flows southwest through the central part of the basin. Alluvial fans such as Hikawa, Kanagawa, Asakawa, and Sakaigawa and alluvial plains at the bottom of the basin spread, and agricultural land mainly composed of fruit trees is distributed from the foot of the mountain to the flat land. Behind it is the Misaka Mountains, and there are villages scattered along the Ashi River that flows from east to west in the mountains. In this way, this area is famous as an area with a relatively cohesive terrain sandwiched between north-south hills and mountainous areas, centered on the flat land that extends along the Fuefuki River. The area is 201.92 square kilometers. It is the “Japan's number one peach producing area” where 23,000 tons of peaches are harvested annually, and many peach trees are planted in the city, and they bloom all at once in the spring. The appearance is as beautiful as a pink jutan, so it is popular with many spectators from inside and outside the prefecture. A tree suitable for the symbol of Fuefuki City, which aims to become a vibrant exchange city. Kasugai Town is said to have the oldest capital in Kai Province. Yamanashi-Oka Shrine(式内論社): SHIZUME : The deities are Oyamazumi, Takaokami no kami, and Betsuraijin, one of the 20 government offices in Kai Province listed in the “Enki-shiki Shinmeicho” during the Heian period. There is a deep religious relationship with the Takeda and Tokugawa families, and there is also a “district stone” in the precincts, which is said to be the key stone of Yamanashi district. Built at the end of the Muromachi period, the style is Kasuga-zukuri with corner trees. The size is 1 girder and 1 girder, and the roof is persimmon-roofed.

In 1948, Masayuki Nakashima and Gison Shiota discovered the remains of a Kawada tile kiln that burned the tiles of the abandoned Teramoto temple. In 1950, Buddhist archaeological authority Mosaku Ishida first excavated the cornerstone of the tower and its surroundings. After that, excavation surveys were conducted three times from 1981, and as a result, it was confirmed that the abandoned temple of Teramoto is a temple with a Hokiji style cathedral arrangement with a temple area of 130 m square. In addition, characteristic relics such as roof tiles, ink-painted pottery, statues of Buddha statues, and screw hair were discovered during the investigation. It is believed that it was built in the Hakuho period in the latter half of the 7th century from the tile pattern used. In addition, it is believed that the oldest government office in Kai Province was built in the provincial office (under the ritsuryo system); provincial capital / Shizume district, and it is said that there are traces of grid-shaped land plots.

Dakotsu IIDA, a poet who is proud of Yamanashi Prefecture, was born in 1885 in Sakaigawa Village Ogurosaka (formerly Gonari Village, Higashiyatsushiro District), which was annexed to Fuefuki City. Going to Waseda University and studying under Kyoshi TAKAHAMA, returned to the mountain at the age of 24 (entered Waseda University English Literature Department in 1905. He kept his friendship with Bokusui WAKAYAMA and later contributed his work to "Creation". In 1909, he abandoned all his studies and returned to his hometown to enter the countryside. While engaging in silkworm raising, he created a number of magnificent phrases from the climate, natural scenery, and feelings of life in the mountain villages of Yamanashi. His birthplace was taken over by Ryuta IIDA, his fourth son, born in 1920, who also succeeded him and became a poet. He has been good at Japanese since he was in elementary school and was commended for his composition when he was in the first grade of elementary school. He goes to Kofu Junior High School and is asked to correct his friend's haiku. In 1940, he was attracted to Nobuo ORIGUCHI and went on to Kokugakuin University, but suffered from pulmonary infiltrates and caries of the ribs and took a leave of absence from the university. While he returned home and engaged in agriculture, he applied for a dissertation in the agricultural magazine "Agricultural World" and was selected. Although he graduated from college, his three brothers died of illness and died in the war, and he took the place of the Iida family. Today, Ryuta's son Hidemi(shujitsu)(Chairman of the Sanro Culture Promotion Association) lives in the house, cherishing the taste of Dakotsu's time. The entire house is called "SANRO", but originally "Sanro" was a haiku name that Dakotsu Iida used to refer to himself as "a person who lives in an ancestral mountain house" rice field. In addition, Dakotsu opened the second floor of the rice brewery of the Iida family, who was a farmer, to local young people as a "Haiku-do". He frequently held kukai, presided over the haiku magazine "Unmo", and worked to nurture younger generations. However, due to the liberation of agricultural land after the war, this brewery, which had been the site of verses, ended its role as a rice brewery and was once handed over. “Fuefuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture”, Located slightly east of the central part of the Kofu basin. Collecting water systems flowing from the mountainous hills in the north, east and south of the basin: The Fuefuki River flows southwest through the central part of the basin. 日川, 金川, 浅川, 境川 etc. The alluvial fan and the alluvial plain at the bottom of the basin spread out. In addition, agricultural land mainly composed of fruit trees is distributed from the foot of the mountain to the flat land.

History: People started living at the foot of the mountain in the Paleolithic era about 27,000 years ago. In the Yayoi period, when rice farming began, villages were set up in lowlands and the development of the bottom of the basin began. Construction of burial mounds began in the city area in the middle of the 4th century. The existence of Kannduka, which boasts a huge horizontal hole type stone chamber, indicates the rise of political power with great economic power. At the end of the Heian period, Nobuyoshi Takeda led Kai Genji and solidified Kai's rule. His sons Tadayori Ichijyo and Kanenobu Itagaki set up a mansion in the city area. He also participated in the raising of Minamoto no Yoritomo and contributed to the establishment of the Kamakura Shogunate. It was Nobutura that laid the foundation for Mr. Takeda to fly as a warring lord. Nobutora, who took over the role of guardian of Kai at the age of 14, overwhelmed the rebellious influential landlord. Built a residence in Tsutsujigasaki(Currently, Takeda Shrine is enshrined in the castle.)and started construction of a castle town. I hear that is the beginning of Kai's Fuchu “Kofu”. With the expansion of power, Kofu has developed into one of the largest castle towns in the eastern country. Shingen: Construction of a large river embankment to protect the kofu basin from flood disasters. Creation of a monetary system using koshu money. Enactment of law for territorial governance: laws established by daimyo applicable only in their own domain (during the Warring States period); Koshu Hatto no Shidai (the Laws of the Province of Kai) of the Takeda clan laid down that 'both parties to a quarrel leading to violence were to be executed regardless of their reasons; however, those who were involved in quarrels, but who kept their patience were not to be punished. In Koshu Hatto no Shidai (the Laws of the Province of Kai), it was defined that Yoriko would bring a suit to Yorioya regardless of its content. The castle town was expanded by relocating Shinano Zenkoji Temple to Kofu to enrich Kai Province. I hear that the castle town of Kofu prospered most throughout the early modern period during the time of Mr. Yanagisawa. It was limited to daimyo feudal lord in hereditary vassalage to the Tokugawa house, but Yoshiyasu, an aide to General Tsunayoshi, accepted Kai. The maintenance of the castle town was promoted for two generations of father and son. After that, it became the direct control of the Shogunate, and Kofu Castle was under the control of the duty, and the end of the Tokugawa shogunate was reached. The city system was enforced in 1889. It is the 34th in Japan and second only to Yokohama, Mito and Tokyo in the Kanto region. Kofu air raid in July 1945 scorched 74% of the city area. The remnants of the good old days of Kofu have been lost. However, immediately after the end of the war, the war damage reconstruction station(War Damage Reconstruction Board: War-damaged area reconstruction plan basic policy; Cabinet decision on December 30th.)was set up, and the citizens came together to stand up for the reconstruction of their hometown with a high hammer; War Damage Reconstruction Institute.

The skin color is yellowish green, the flesh is disintegrating and hard, and the scent is Muscat scent. It is a new variety that was registered in 2006 as a new variety, which was born in the Fruit Tree Tea Industry Research Division of the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization. It's been only 15 years since it first appeared on the market. Since 2014, the cultivation area has become the fourth largest among grape varieties, and its popularity is rapidly expanding nationwide. It is a beautiful yellow-green large grape that can be produced without seeds. It has a sweet and muscat scent, and its high quality is attracting attention, as it has a thin skin and an excellent texture that can be eaten together with the skin and crumbles in the mouth. In addition, it has excellent characteristics that farmers can cultivate with peace of mind, such as easy cultivation and good storage of harvested grapes. It is a yellowish green that matures at about the same time as Kyoho Grapes. It is weak against Elsinoe ampelina, but has a certain resistance to downy mildew (Peronosporaceae: It is a water-type biotrophic phytopathogen containing 21 genera including more than 600 species. Parasitic on host plants as intercellular mycelium using Haustoria to invade host cells.) and strong resistance to downy mildew. Cold resistance is evaluated as Kyoho Grapes. The trees are strong and the yield seems to be higher than that of Kyoho Grapes. The grain weight varies depending on the cultivation method, but it seems that it can be cultivated to about 13 g. It is easy to chew (disintegrate), has a hard meat quality, and has a high sugar content of 18% or more. The acid content is as low as 0.3-0.4 g / 100 ml, and the aroma is Muscat aroma. In seedless cultivation, it is a little difficult to peel, but the skin is not thick and there is no astringency, so you can eat the whole skin. Like Kyoho Grape, it generally does not split. It is harder to shed than Kyoho Grape and tends to last longer. It seems that it can be produced as seedless grapes by spraying 200 ppm of streptomycin before flowering and dipping in inflorescence (fruit bunch) of 25 ppm of gibberellin at full bloom and 10 to 15 days after full bloom. Use about 4 cm at the tip of the spike. I heard that it is effective to add fulmet solution at the time of the first gibberellin treatment to stabilize the grain formation. In an unheated greenhouse, seedless treatment (hormone treatment) on the lower 3.5 cm results in a triple bunch of grapes 10 cm long.
