In 1181 (Jisho 5), Yoshimori Wada played an active role as a master archer in the Battle of Ashiyaura in Bungo(March 4, 1185)and in the suppression of Kyushu, and supported Minamoto no Yoritomo. It is still a historical fact that he sided with Minamoto no Yoritomo. In 1184, Minamoto Noriyori, the half-brother of Minamoto no Yoritomo (in May 28, 1193, when the Soga brothers killed each other, there was a rumor that Yoritomo was assassinated. However, at that time, he advised Yoritomo's wife, Masako HOJO, that he was in good health, and Genji's generation was safe. He was exiled to Izu on August 17.) went on an expedition to Kyushu to banish the Taira clan, and Yoshimori served as military magistrate. As Noriyori was a cautious person, it is said that he consulted with Yoshimori about the war. However, the expeditionary force fell into food shortages and could not go to Kyushu without a ship, and the battle became bogged down. Yoshimori and his party finally obtained a ship, went to Bungo Province, and finally destroyed the Taira family in the Battle of Dannoura in 1185.

A place related to the Miura clan. Yoshimori Wada (1147-1213) was the first head of the Kamakura Shogunate. It is said to have been his residence. It is not a castle with a castle tower like the Warring States period, but a mansion with a little defense mechanism. There are still many fields in this area today, but at the time it was a breadbasket that supported the Miura clan. He was born as the son of Yoshimune Sugimoto, the eldest son of Yoshiaki Miura, the head of the Miura clan. He was born in the same year as Minamoto no Yoritomo and is 16 years older than Yoshitoki HOJO. Yoshizumi MIURA is his uncle, and Yoshimura MIURA is his cousin. Yoshimori's father, Yoshimune, was seriously injured when he attacked Nagasa Castle in Awa Province (Kominato, Kamogawa, Chiba Prefecture) in 1163 and died at the age of 39. Yoshimori, east Asian age reckoning when he was 17 years old. After his father's death, Yoshimori is believed to have been under the protection of his grandfather, Yoshiaki. 'Wada Yoshimori' is a person who was active from the end of the Heian period to the beginning of the Kamakura period. He was from the "Wada clan,'' a branch of the "Miura clan,'' whose base was 'Kinukasa Castle' in Miura County, Sagami Province (now Kinukasa Town, Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture). Later, thanks to Yoshimori's efforts, the Wada clan established a position as a powerful shogunal retainer of the shogunate.

When MINAMOTO no Yoritomo raised an army in 1180, he joined together with his uncle Yoshizumi MIURA and others immediately after raising the army, greatly helping Yoritomo and gaining his trust. According to the article dated November 17 of the same year in the history book "Azuma Kagami" compiled by the Kamakura Japan's feudal government shogunate government, he was appointed as a samurai betto (the betto was the head of the vassals; there is a theory that he was called 'samurai betto' at this point) it is stated that. It is said that this position was requested and approved by Yoshimori when he fled to Awa Province after Yoritomo's crushing defeat at the Battle of Ishibashiyama. Kagetoki KAJIWARA was appointed as the vice-minister of the samurai office. However, in 1192, he was replaced by Kagetoki. Samurai betto is an important position in the shogunate. It's hard to imagine that these people could rent it as they please. The truth is unknown, but when Kagetoki was destroyed along with his family on New Year's Day 1200, Shigemori was restored to Samurai's office betto and established a strong position. On February 9, 1199, Yoritomo (the samurai government he opened was institutionalized, gradually depriving the Imperial Court of political power, later named the Shogunate, and continued for about 680 years until the Restoration(The Tokugawa Shogunate disappeared, and the traditional Imperial Court organization was dismantled. The new government will be headed by the emperor, and will be run by the three senses of president, decree, and councilor. In fact, the Imperial Court asked the shogunate to continue politics for a while even after accepting the offer to restore the power. If you think about it, it's not unreasonable, and the Imperial Court, which has been away from power for a long time, can't do anything about it. Therefore, even after the return of political power to the Emperor (to the Imperial Court), shogunate politics continued.)in 1868. While Yoritomo was still alive, there was still a strong element of a dual government with the Imperial Court, but the Shugo lord of a manor system laid the groundwork for ruling not only the eastern provinces but also the entire country) died, and the second shogun, MINAMOTO no Yoriie's era. In that case, Yoshimori was selected as one of the thirteen members of the collegial system. He seems to have had a good relationship with the third shogun, Minamoto no Sanetomo. On the other hand, Hojo Tokimasa fell from power due to the 'Maki clan incident' in 1205. According to the July 20th article of "Azuma Kagami" of the same year, Tokimasa went down to Izu Province and Yoshitoki accepted the 'regent'. Yoshitoki also assumed the position of betto of 'mandokoro,' which had jurisdiction over finance and litigation, and managed the shogunate government as the head of the Gokenin, while Yoshimori was a powerful gokenin on a par with the Hojo clan. However, in the Battle of Wada in May 1213, Yoshimori perished along with the Wada clan. The Battle of Wada was the largest armed conflict in the early days of the Kamakura Shogunate. The simmering rivalry between the Wada clan and the Hojo clan was sparked by the 'Izumi Chikahira Rebellion' (February 15, 1213). Samurai betto Yoshimori, who was humiliated by Hojo, raised an army, but was defeated by Yoshimura MIURA, a member of his family, and the Hojo regent system was almost completed. Hatsune Town, Miura City is "Wada satoyama landscape", which was pioneered by Yoshimori Wada. Based here, he played an important role in the creation of the Kamakura Shogunate. Wada Castle is the residence of Yoshimori, who was appointed by Minamoto no Yoritomo to be the head of the shogunate's samurai office. He is the grandson of Yoshiaki Miura, the head of the Miura clan, whom Yoritomo relied on, and is the farm owner of making one's best exertions who cultivated Wada on the Miura Peninsula. The samurai at that time had the basics of developing farmland and protecting it. "Making one's best exertions" means protecting the farmland that you have cultivated yourself. The Miura clan was a samurai group that conveys the pride of the Bando samurai to the present day. It is no exaggeration to say that the Kamakura Shogunate would not have existed without the Miura clan. It is believed that Yoshimori's Wada Castle was located near Wada Nagahama Beach, but now only a stone monument exists. Yoshimori Wada's monument was erected at Yakumo Shrine in 1921 to praise his bravery. Introduced in 1985 as a substitute crop for summer crops of watermelons, pumpkins and melons. Currently, we are cultivating small winter melons (May-July), mini winter melons (June-August), and large winter melons (June-September). It seems that about 120,000 cases of small winter melon and about 60,000 cases of large winter melon are shipped. Everyone who belongs to the Miura Winter Melon Association is an eco-farmer. Eco-farmers are producers who are certified by Kanagawa Prefecture and who are promoting eco-friendly farming. In 1999, Japan enacted the Law Concerning the Promotion of the Introduction of Highly Sustainable Agricultural Production Methods (Sustainable Agriculture Law) in order to promote environmentally friendly agriculture. Under this law, the prefectural governor certifies farmers who intend to introduce a production method that integrates soil preparation with compost, etc., and reduction in the use of chemical fertilizers and synthetic pesticides. With the abolishment of the Sustainable Agriculture Act on July 1, 2022, new certification for eco-farmers will end. It seems that efforts to mix cargo and passengers to carry food and other luggage with passengers by utilizing the empty space of trains and buses are spreading in the prefecture. Until now, it has been promoted as a measure to maintain the transportation network in depopulated areas nationwide, but as the number of passengers declines due to the new coronavirus, it seems that expectations are being raised as a new source of income in the metropolitan area as well. Keikyu Corporation (Nishi Ward, Yokohama City) started a demonstration experiment in April to load vegetables harvested by farmers in Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture along the line from Misakiguchi Station onto a train and sell them at a special venue in front of Kamiooka Station. In addition, it seems that it was found on June 24, 2022 that the Koyo shopping street (Moroiso) in the Miura city and Misaki district will be dissolved. While the number of affiliated stores is decreasing, it seems that they have decided to dissolve in 2022 in consideration of the cost of removing the street lights to be managed. Street lights also play a role in crime prevention, and residents seem to be worried. The shopping district is an area centered around the road about 600 meters from the Jogashima entrance intersection on the prefectural road Yokosuka Misaki Line toward Misaki Port.

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

JA Kanagawa Prefectural Headquarters collaborated with Miura City Agricultural Cooperative, JA Yokosuka Hayama, and Showa Women's University(Taishido, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo: Department of Management Nutrition: Upon graduation, you can take the national examination to become a registered dietitian. We aim to pass the exam straight through guidance tailored to each student. We have prepared a curriculum that takes into account team medical care and globalization. In team medical care, which is becoming more established in the medical field, there are cases where students understand medical records written in English, cooperate with doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, and are in charge of nutrition and diet guidance for patients. It seems that they have a special curriculum for "Scientific English". For those who wish, we provide nutritionist experience training in the United States, and are cultivating human resources who can play an active role internationally.)to create a menu using Miura Peninsula radish and early spring cabbage from January 18 to 31, 2023. It is sold at "Foods City" in Tamagawa Takashimaya SC in Tokyo. The event's project, "Showa Women's University JA ☆ Veggie Lab Project", aims to promote and stimulate consumption of Miura Peninsula vegetables by inventing recipes while deepening knowledge of vegetables and agriculture by students aiming to become nutritionists and registered dietitians seems to have been carried out for the purpose of  Eighteen students participated in this project, studying the situation of the production area, exchanging opinions with the store, and repeatedly making prototypes, working on devising and improving the recipe for about half a year. As a result of the final presentation held in December 2022, it seems that the four selected works have been sold. During the same period, the restaurant will have a limited-time menu. On January 28th (Sat) and 29th (Sun), the first 500 customers who purchased more than a certain amount of money each day were presented with "early spring cabbage" or "japanese white radish" from the Miura Peninsula.Winter melon, which is said to have originated in India long ago, is popular in China and Japan, and is a versatile vegetable with a long history, especially the skin and seeds, which are used as herbal medicines. A mini winter melon weighs about 1.5 to 2 kg, a clear difference compared to a large winter melon weighing over 5 kg. It seems that Miura City Agricultural Cooperative has been cultivating it for more than 45 years with the aim of differentiating it with a small winter melon that is easy to pick up among large winter melons. Winter melon seems to be a seasonal vegetable in summer, and it looks cool and goes well with refreshing dishes. The skin is great for stir-frying, the cotton is great for soups, and the fruit is great for simmering. Since it is a highly storable vegetable, it can be stored whole, but it is convenient to peel it, cut it into small pieces, and freeze it. Downy hairs are called trichomes. It seems that trichomes are differentiated from the epidermal cells of plants. It has been observed everywhere, including leaves, stems, fruits, and corollas. Plant epidermal cells are elongated, and depending on the plant species, there are single-celled ones and multi-celled ones, and they range from very long to very short spines. As for long ones, the trichome of the seed coat of plant cotton is cotton boll. Each trichome has a different role, but it can protect against strong light (ultraviolet rays), prevent excessive water loss from the stomata during strong winds, and make it difficult for small pests to approach the leaf body. I hear there is.



About 20 km down the coast from Kamakura through Zushi and Hayama, there is the site of Yoshimori Wada's old village in Wada, Hatsuse Town, Miura City. It is the home of Yoshimori Wada, a brave man who raised an army with Minamoto no Yoritomo and achieved numerous military achievements. Yoshimori, who was born as the grandson of Yoshiaki MIURA, took the name Wada because he owned the land of Wada.

In 1985, it was introduced as a substitute crop for summer crops of watermelons, pumpkins and melons. Currently, we are cultivating small winter gourd (May-July), mini winter gourd (June-August), and large winter gourd (June-September). About 120,000 cases of small winter gourd and about 60,000 cases of large gourd were shipped. 
In addition, the biggest feature of Miura's agricultural products is that they produce "small winter gourd" which is smaller than the gourd that is mainly produced in Okinawa and Aichi. At the beginning of the shipment, it was not a vegetable that was well-established among consumers, so even if it was displayed in supermarkets, only a few sold. It seems that the popularity has increased.

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. Peach and Grape, declaration of Japan's No. 1 Township in October 2005. On April 10, 2013, we will declare Japan's number one paradise on earth. 文化財他 : 佐久神社本殿 : 県指定, 石和, 八田家書院 / 八田御朱印公園 : 県指定, 石和, 絹本著色仏涅槃図 : 国指定重, 石和, 木造大物主神立像, 国指定重 : 御坂, 板絵著色三十六歌仙図 : 県指定, 御坂, 美和神社の太々神楽 : 県指定, 御坂, 白糸威褄取鎧〈残欠〉: 県指定重, 御坂, 朱礼紅糸素懸威胴丸佩楯付〈一領〉: 県指定, 御坂, 木造吉祥天坐像と二天像 : 国指定重, 御坂, 木造香王観音像 : 県指定, 御坂, 木造他阿真教上人坐像 : 国指定重, 御坂, 称願寺の桜 : 県指定, 御坂, 御坂隧道 : 国登録, 御坂, 檜峯神社コノハズク確認の地 : 県指定, 御坂, 姥塚 : 県指定, 御坂, 下黒駒の大ヒイラギ : 県指定, 御坂, 渦文深鉢 : 県指定, 御坂, 美和神社, 御坂, 福光園寺, 御坂, 称願寺, 御坂, 檜峯神社, 御坂, 花鳥山一本杉 : 市指定, 御坂 / 八代, 星石 : 市指定, 御坂, 浅間神社摂社山宮神社本殿 : 国指定, 一宮, 慈眼寺本堂 : 国指定, 一宮, 慈眼寺庫裏 : 国指定, 一宮, 慈眼寺鐘楼門 : 国指定, 一宮, 紺紙金泥般若心経 付武田晴信自筆奉納包 : 国指定, 一宮, 甲斐国分寺跡 : 国指定史跡, 一宮, 甲斐国分尼寺跡 : 国指定史跡, 一宮, 木造十一面観音菩薩立像 : 県指定, 一宮, 石造地蔵菩薩坐像 : 県指定, 一宮, 超願寺文書 : 県指定, 一宮, 広厳院文書 : 県指定, 一宮, 梵字法帖 : 県指定, 一宮, 銅鐘 : 県指定, 一宮, 太刀 銘国次 : 県指定, 一宮, 古常滑大甕 / 支那青磁碗 / 同染付碗皿 / 黄瀬戸皿, 県指定, 一宮, 古瀬戸瓶 古常滑大甕 : 県指定, 一宮, 太刀 : 銘一徳斉助則 : 県指定, 一宮, 刺繍法華経 : 県指定, 一宮, 刀剣 : 銘広重 附衛府太刀拵 : 県指定, 一宮, 紙本著色星曼荼羅 : 県指定, 一宮, 経塚古墳 : 県指定, 一宮, 夫婦梅 : 県指定, 一宮, ルミエール旧地下発酵槽 : 国登録, 一宮, 土偶(釈迦堂遺跡出土品) : 国指定重, 一宮, 一宮浅間神社, 一宮, 浅間神社摂社山宮神社の夫婦杉 : 市指定, 一宮, 岡の式三番叟 : 県指定, 八代, 菱雲文帯半円方形四乳鏡 : 県指定, 八代, 岡 / 銚子塚古墳 : 県指定, 八代, 御崎古墳出土品362点 : 県指定, 八代, 竜塚古墳 : 県指定, 八代, 木造如来形坐像及び塑像仏像残欠 : 県指定, 八代, 木造十二神将立像 : 県指定, 八代, 絹本著色熊野曼荼羅 附桐箱 : 県指定, 八代, 荒神堂のケヤキ : 市指定, 八代, 木造虚空蔵菩薩坐像 : 県指定, 境川, 版本大般若経 : 県指定, 境川, 桑原家文書 : 県指定, 境川, 智光寺のカヤ : 県指定, 境川, 宗源寺のヒダリマキカヤ : 県指定, 境川, 地蔵堂塚古墳出土蕨手刀 : 県指定, 境川, 藤垈の滝, 境川, 山梨岡神社本殿 : 国指定, 春日居, 山梨岡神社太々神楽 : 県指定, 春日居, 木造五大明王像 : 県指定, 春日居, 木造立川不動明王坐像 : 県指定, 春日居, 寺本廃寺跡 : 県指定, 春日居.平成17年11月1日に,塩山市,東山梨郡勝沼町, 大和村と合併し, 「甲斐国」の別称 “Koshu City”,(Concerning municipalities which changed characters for names and adopted old provincial names virtually, there are Mutsu City(青森県), Iwaki City(福島県), Sanuki City(香川県), Oushu City(岩手県), and Koshu City.)になる. 甲府盆地の東側に位置し, 富士山, 南アルプス(The South Alps cover an area of over 300,000 hectares across Yamanashi, Nagano and Shizuoka Prefectures.), 八ヶ岳(谷戸城跡:史跡名勝天然記念物; 北巨摩郡大泉村(現: 北杜市): 指定年月日, 1993. 11/29, Located in the southern foothill of Yatsugatake, Henmiso had Henmi-no-maki, a livestock grazing land for ancient officials, spreading in the area, and Kiyomitsu settled in present Seikoji Temple area (Nagasaka Town, Hokuto City) (alleged otherwise to be located at Wakamiko, Sudama Town, Hokuto City) and built Yato Castle (Oizumi Village, Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture) as tsume-no-shiro, a retreat and backup castle.)It is a suitable place for growing "fruits" surrounded by lush mountains such as. 武田信玄 の菩提寺として, 名高い「恵林寺(His family temple was the Erinji Temple in Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture.)」, 子の「勝頼(四郎)」, の菩提寺である「景徳院」, 風林火山(During the period of the Northern and Southern Courts, which was about 200 years earlier than the period of Shingen, the banner was used by Akiie KITABATAKE as a Jinki (the flag for a camp) containing the emblem, Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan.

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. What about Japan today? “Chuo City”, Located in the south central part of the prefecture. The east is adjacent to Kofu City across the Kamata River. To the north is JR Minobu Line, Showa Town with Showa Bypass as the boundary: West is in the city of minami Alps across the Kamanashi River, the south is adjacent to Ichikawamisato Town. An area consisting of an alluvial plain area formed by the Kamanashi River and Misaka mountains. It has two geographical characteristics, and between the two jurisdictions are separated by the Fuefuki River. The flat part is Tamaho and Tatomi: Located between the Fuefuki River and the Kamanashi River. It is famous as an area spread over abundant mountainous areas. The area of the city is 31.69 km2. Land use goes back to the past in 2003: Residential land 19.4%, agricultural land 36.5%, forests 16.4%, others 27.7; The proportion of agricultural land was high.

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.
