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

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

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

On March 14, 2017, the Kyoto area (Yamanashi City, Koshu City, Fuefuki City), "Yamanashi's complex fruit tree system adapted to the basin" was designated as a "Japan Agricultural Heritage System" was carried out, and the fruit farming in the Kyoutou area was certified as one of the eight areas. "Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems" (abbreviated as GIAHS) is a system established by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in 2002. Agricultural land use, culture nurtured in relation to traditional agriculture, landscape, biodiversity, etc. are recognized as one of the world's most important agricultural systems, and efforts are made to conserve and sustainably utilize them international project.), and the results of the review regarding the approval of the application for Japanese Agricultural Heritage” will be announced by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. About 400 years ago, a unique technique called 'Tana-shiki cultivation' was devised to adapt to the humid and rainy climate of Japan. Returning to the topic, the Kyoutou region was poor in nutrients and water retention capacity and was not suitable for rice cultivation. It can be said that in the Edo period, it was uniquely famous as a production area for fruit trees. Grapes are said to have been cultivated since the Heian period. The history and wisdom of our predecessors are still being passed down. On the sloping alluvial fan, suitable crops for fruit trees such as grapes and peaches have been historically practiced for generations according to the soil, topography, weather, etc., and Japan's unique trellis cultivation of grapes has developed. "Makioka Town" merged with Yamanashi City and Mitomi Village, which were adjacent to the former Makioka Town, Higashiyamanashi District, and became "Makioka Town, Yamanashi City" in 2005 (March 22, 2005) under the new municipal system. It is the southern part of Yamanashi City, bordering Koshu City to the east, Fuefuki City to the south, and Kofu City to the west. Total area 53.11 km2, about 10.8 km east-west, about 8.5 km north-south, altitude 299 m (Ichicho Tanaka) to 1,376 m (Obinayama), city hall location is 342.88 m above sea level. The Fuefuki River runs through the center of the city from north to south, and three rivers, the Shigekawa River and the Hikawa River, flow in from the east. Makioka area: The central area of Yamanashi City, bordering Nagano Prefecture to the north, Koshu City to the east, and Kofu City to the west. The total area is 101.85 km2, about 13.5 km from east to west, and about 17.5 km from north to south. Cultivated land and villages are concentrated in the southern hills along the Tsuzumi River in the south, the Koto River in the southeast, and the Fuefuki River in the east. Agricultural land is distributed from 420 m to 900 m above sea level. The climate is inland, with large temperature differences the land is fertile and productive. Fruit cultivation is thriving, and among grapes, Kyoho grapes, also known as “black diamonds,” are the number one producer in Japan. The Mitomi area is the northern part of Yamanashi City, bordering Nagano Prefecture and Saitama Prefecture to the north, and Koshu City to the east. It has a steep topography with few flatlands and is surrounded by 2,000 m-class mountains. The northern part is a mountainous area belonging to the Chichibu mountain range and is designated as Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park. The total area is 134.91 km2, 13.125 km from east to west, and 17 km from north to south. Elevation ranges from 600 m (Kamiyuki Shiobara district) to 2,592 m (Kokushigatake). The Fuefuki River runs north-south through the center of the area, and most of the villages are formed on flat land or slopes facing the highway along the river. On the morning of June 15, 2022, a farmer noticed that a large number of unharvested peaches had disappeared from a field in Fuefuki City, and a total of about 1,400 peaches were stolen from four adjacent fields, according to police. I know from my research. The police suspected that it was stolen from the morning of the 14th to the 15th of the same month and investigated it as a theft case. Around 7:00 am on the 15th, a farmer in Kuwado, Kasugai Town, Fuefuki City, noticed that a large number of peaches he had been growing had disappeared and reported to the police. According to police and forensic investigations, about 1,400 peaches of a cultivar called "Hikawa Hakuhou Peach", which had been cultivated in four adjacent fields and had not yet been harvested, were lost, and the damage was worth about 420,000 yen. Seems to have climbed to According to the police, it was confirmed that there was no abnormality in the field when the farm work was finished around 11:00 am on the 14th, so the police said that someone invaded the field from around noon on the 14th to the morning of the 15th. It is suspected that he took it away and was investigated as a theft case. The other day, about 1,000 peaches about to be harvested were stolen from an orchard in Fukushima City, Fukushima Prefecture, and the police investigated it as a theft case. Around 5:00 am on July 11, at an orchard in Kamata, Fukushima City, about 1,000 unharvested peaches were found missing from the trees and reported to the police. According to the police, some of the large orchards near the road were targeted, and the damage amount seems to be about 160,000 yen. The police are investigating the theft as someone stole it during the 10 hours from the end of the work around 6:30 pm on the 10th to the start of the work on the 11th morning. A female parliamentarian elected from another prefecture is using SNS to post about the theft of agricultural products, which has become a serious problem in recent years. I've been receiving a lot of consultations for a long time, and I've been moving to see if I can do something about it. However, the problem is complex and no breakthrough has been found yet. For example, since the introduction of cameras to capture evidence is a particularly heavy financial burden for small-scale farmers, we are discussing whether it is possible to provide assistance that also serves as a countermeasure against wildlife damage. After being arrested for red-handed crime, we have heard from elderly farmers in rural areas that, even if they witness the scene, they cannot move because they are afraid of counterattacks if there are multiple young foreigners. There are patrols and other measures in the area, but there is a limit without manpower. We must take measures that do not increase the burden on the victim's side. When I found it, I immediately reported it, and when I actually talked to the small-scale victim, I said, Are you a technical intern trainee at some farmers? In the countryside, people understand human relationships and circumstances, so some people give up reporting and fall asleep. It seems difficult to mercilessly ask for a report. Even if you report and catch it, you will not be prosecuted, which is really frustrating and a problem for thieves. Lawmakers cannot intervene in the prosecution's decisions, but too many cases are not prosecuted. Don't you take the theft of agricultural products lightly? Even if you are on camera, you will not be prosecuted. Foreigners who have committed criminal acts should be prosecuted and brought to justice, and should be immediately deported stop selling. Large-scale thefts are stolen because they sell, so it is necessary to stop the sales route. For example, I understand that there are formal people, such as street sales where the provenance is unknown, and sales on Mercari, etc., but if they are used as a destination for handling stolen goods, it is not possible to introduce sales qualifications such as identity guarantees for agricultural product listings. It seems that I am looking for it. In my opinion, people who commit crimes are the worst and cause a lot of trouble. However, there are many fundamental problems, and they are piling up. In the first place, there are countless reasons why agriculture has not developed (Special class (treatment) of agricultural workers(The number of household members engaged in self-employed farming as a regular job among the farming population. Since 1985, the number of commercial farmers (farmers with farmland of 30 a or more or annual sales of agricultural products of 500,000 yen or more)), declining birthrate, aging population, soaring fertilizer prices, immigration policy, exclusively defense posture, japan's economic stagnation for about 30 years, etc.). I think it's still meaningful for young politicians to send out information, but the original point is what to do in order not to make more people sad. Japan's rank has fallen among the developing countries, the happiness ranking has dropped significantly, young people are worried about their future, and they are trying to break through vested interests. In Japan, where there is no leeway, the question is what to do if Japanese politicians and governments torture Japanese people any further. Without flattering authority or status, I would like you to pay attention to gradually reduce the number of people who say that if only they are good, they don't care about others. In order for children and young people with a bright future to become shameless politicians and adults, why don't the government lift its weight and release the policies that oppress the people? On August 9, 2022, a conference made up of peach-producing regions nationwide, such as Fuefuki City, will be held online. It seems that the mayors of Fuefuki, Yamanashi, Koshu, Fukushima, and Kinokawa in Wakayama Prefecture participated in the meeting. It has been confirmed that they will discuss the United States' request to Japan to lift the ban on imports of peaches, and cooperate with related organizations to collect information on the quality and price of American peaches. In addition, it seems that they have decided to hold a "National Peach Summit" in Yamanashi City next year in 2023, where people involved in the production areas will gather to discuss how to respond to the request to lift the ban on imports. When the six towns and villages (Isawa Town, Misaka Town, Ichinomiya Town, Yatsushiro Town, Sakaigawa Village, Kasugai Town) merged on October 12, 2004, the name of the new city was solicited. It was narrowed down to two points, “Kyoto City”, and as a result of the final vote, it was decided to be Fuefuki City. Just as the water flowing through the six merged towns and villages gathers in the Fuefuki River, a number of streams became a big flow triggered by the merger, and the name was raised to become the center of Yamanashi, and it became a big swell and the ocean. It is a name with a wish to make a leap forward (nationwide), and as the name suggests, it is widely known. In addition, on August 1, 2006, it was merged with Ashigawa Village and became the current city of Fuefuki. The city's soil is fertile and well-drained, with long daylight hours and a large temperature difference between day and night, making it an excellent location for fruit tree cultivation. According to the fruit tree production and shipment statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, it is confirmed that the cultivated area, yield and shipment amount of peaches and grapes are all the highest among the municipalities in Japan. In praise of the achievements of the ancestors who have led the cultivation of historic Japanese fruit trees, we pledged to protect and further develop the wonderful fruit villages that we can be proud of throughout the country. On April 10, 2014, he declared “Japan's No. 1 Taoyuan Township”. In addition, the city has many diverse and valuable historical and cultural resources. The artifacts excavated from the Shakado and Ichinosawa sites during the Jomon period have been designated as important cultural properties, and valuable remains such as the front and rear burial mounds and stone mounds of the Kofun period remain. In the subsequent eras, Teramoto Abandoned Temple, the oldest temple in Yamanashi Prefecture during the Hakuho period, Kai Kokubunji Temple and Nanji Temple during the Nara period, and Isawa no Mikuri, the only Mikuriya(Kitchen: Jinryō, a manor of an ancient and medieval shrine)in Kai Province, were built. The city has been the center of Kai Province for about a thousand years from the establishment of ancient Kai to the relocation of Takeda's building to Kofu in 1519, and it was truly the “City of Kai Province Millennium.” Isawa hot spring Village and Kasugai hot spring Village, which are one of the best hot spring villages in Japan, welcome many tourists throughout the four seasons as tourist accommodation bases in Yamanashi Prefecture, and the city's public hot spring facilities and footbath facilities that utilize the blessed hot spring resources are It is crowded as a place of healing and charm for many people including citizens. It seems that we will continue to nurture “hospitality hot spring village” through the scenery and festivals that color the seasons. Located slightly east of the central part of the Kofu basin, this area collects water systems flowing from the mountainous hills in the northern, eastern, and southern parts of the basin, and the Fuefuki River flows southwest through the central part of the basin. Alluvial fans such as Hikawa, Kanagawa, Asakawa, and Sakaigawa and alluvial plains at the bottom of the basin spread, and agricultural land mainly composed of fruit trees is distributed from the foot of the mountain to the flat land. Behind it is the Misaka Mountains, and there are villages scattered along the Ashi River that flows from east to west in the mountains. In this way, this area is famous as an area with a relatively cohesive terrain sandwiched between north-south hills and mountainous areas, centered on the flat land that extends along the Fuefuki River. The area is 201.92 square kilometers. It is the “Japan's number one peach producing area” where 23,000 tons of peaches are harvested annually, and many peach trees are planted in the city, and they bloom all at once in the spring. The appearance is as beautiful as a pink jutan, so it is popular with many spectators from inside and outside the prefecture. A tree suitable for the symbol of Fuefuki City, which aims to become a vibrant exchange city. Kasugai Town is said to have the oldest capital in Kai Province. Yamanashi-Oka Shrine(式内論社): SHIZUME : The deities are Oyamazumi, Takaokami no kami, and Betsuraijin, one of the 20 government offices in Kai Province listed in the “Enki-shiki Shinmeicho” during the Heian period. There is a deep religious relationship with the Takeda and Tokugawa families, and there is also a “district stone” in the precincts, which is said to be the key stone of Yamanashi district. Built at the end of the Muromachi period, the style is Kasuga-zukuri with corner trees. The size is 1 girder and 1 girder, and the roof is persimmon-roofed. Nationally designated cultural property-Designated on August 28, 1890-Type: Building-Owner: Yamanashi Oka Shrine. Dai dai shinto music : It is also called “Shingen TAKEDA shinto music” and is said to have been dedicated to pray for victory. Twenty-four kinds of dances are transmitted in the Izumo shinto music system, and the 20th “Kume dance” is also called “Four sword dances”, and four people dance bravely with a sword in one hand. Dedicated at the Yamanashi Oka Shrine Spring Festival (April 4th and 5th).

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

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.

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



Developed by the prefectural fruit tree experiment station as an original variety of Yamanashi Prefecture. Born from "Asama White Peach" and "Gyosei". The origin of the name is familiar as the image of "a delicious and fresh peach like a dream". It is a large ball of the Hakuho series and has a high sugar content for an early-season peach. It is expected to be a successor to Asama Hakuto, which is susceptible to disease, and is harvested from early July. The flesh is fine and has a very good texture that seems to loosen in the mouth. Good coloring. High sugar content and juicy. It has a very good taste with little acidity and astringency.

Tomomitsu Yuki was born in 1168 as a child of Masamitsu Oyama, who was based in Oyama-so in Shimotsuke Province. His mother was Samukawani (1137-1228: a woman in the late Heian period and early Kamakura period. Daughter of Munetsuna Hatta, older sister of Tomoie Hatta. Second wife of Masamitsu Oyama, a local ruling family in Shimotsuke Province). On October 2, 1180, Yoritomo celebrated his coming-of-age ceremony as Eboshi-Oya (temporarily assumed parents) at Sumida inn, Musashi Province, and was named Oyama Shichiro Munetomo (later changed his name to Asako). On April 7, 1181, he was added to Yoritomo's eleven guards. On February 28, 1183, he was appointed as Jito of Yuki County, Shimousa Province as a reward for quelling Yoshihiro Shida's rebellion (the Battle of Nogimiya). In the conquest of Oshu in 1189, he acquired Mutsu Shirakawa-so. On October 25, 1199, after the death of Yoritomo, he said, "A loyal retainer will not serve two lords...,'' and he was in a predicament because of Kagetoki KAJIWARA's slander, but he consulted with Yoshimura MIURA. Kagetoki loses his position. In 1221, during the Jokyu Disturbance, he joined Nobumitsu Takeda, Nagakiyo Ogasawara, and Tomonaga Koyama as commanders of the Tosando Road(Starting from the capital, it goes through Omi Province, Mino Province, Shinano Province, Kozuke Province, and finally to Shimotsuke Province). In May 1235 he was added to the council, but resigned on June 3rd of the same year. He died on February 24, 1254 (87 years old).

Shomyoji Temple of the Hongwanji School of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism: After the founder of the Yuki family, Asako, entered the Buddhist monastery and built his own Buddhist temple, it became Tomomitsu's temple with one's family grave as Shinran's disciple Shinbutsu as the foundation. The temple gate is the Nijo gate that was inherited from the Nijo family in Kyoto when the priest Shaki Shinkaku was invited. Tomomitsu devoted himself to Shinran Shonin (1173-1262: cherishing the joy of being born with people and living together), who had built a thatched hut in Hitachi Province for missionary work in the Kanto region from around 1214. Nenbutsu-do was built. In 1225, Nenbutsu-do Hall was moved to Yuki Hongo Nishinomiya and built by inviting Shinbutsu. The name of the temple is said to have been taken from Tomomitsu's legal name, "Shomyojiden Nichiamidabutsu''. Shinbutsu is one of Shinran's 'Twenty-Four Kanto Senpai', and Shomyo-ji Temple is one of the 'Twenty-Four Senpai Temples'. Moved to the current location during the Genroku era (1688-1704).

Egawa Omachi Nishinotani Shrine: A regional shrine built during the Bunsei era (1818-1831). It is a shrine that enshrines a living person as a god, which is rare in Japan. It was founded in 1602 by the Hineno clan, who was a foreigner daimyo, and several Fudai daimyo clans took over after 1634. In 1712, the Torii clan entered the territory as a daimyo with 30,000 koku of rice, and the Abolition of It continued until the han system.), "Kimio Tani (1777-1867)'' was made into a living god. Even today, it is believed to be the deity of family safety and community protection. Tani Shrine, Ibaraki Prefecture (Omachi Shinden, Yuki City, Ibaraki Prefecture) was founded in 1828 by Tani Kimio-no-Mikoto: Bunsei 11 (1828). During the Kansei era, the land in the Yamakawa territory at that time was rough and the customs were bad, and it seems that no one was serious about farming. Masutomo Tani, a vassal of the domain who was appointed by the lord of the domain, Mr. Torii, administered good government, and Kimio Tani, his son, opened a irrigation moat, invited people from near and far to give them fields, and transformed villages that were barren into wealthy villages. rice field. After that, he was enshrined in the shrine as a guardian deity during his lifetime so that he would not forget the blessing of Kimio Tani, who returned to Mibu Castle by order of the clan. Omachi Shinden (Egawa Omachi, Yuki City): Located west of Oki Village and Shinjuku Village. The Yoshida irrigation canal flows south through the eastern part. The village consists of Egawa Omachi and Omachi Shinden. The August 1321 Sadashige Yamakawa Donation Letter (Kanazawa book collection
Documents: 4,149 items managed by the Kanagawa Prefectural Kanazawa book collection) were published in 2016 together with the Shomyoji Shogyo (16,692 items). Designated as a National Treasure, this collection of historical materials owned by Shomyoji Temple (Kanazawa Ward, Yokohama City) was organized and deciphered at the Prefectural Kanazawa book collection in 1930. It has been proven to be a valuable collection of documents that shed light on economics, culture, etc. Today, the National Treasure Kanazawa book collection Documents, which have become the basic historical materials for research on the medieval history of Japan, were greatly influenced by the Mongol Empire 13. It seems that it is also noted as a document that conveys the situation in East Asia from the latter half of the 14th century to the beginning of the 14th century. (Omitted) There is a place that is said to be the former site of Katori Shrine. Until 1601, it was the domain of the Yamakawa clan, after which it was temporarily under shogunate control, but from 1615 to 1635 it was the domain of the Yamakawa clan (Mizuno clan), and then it became the shogunate control again, until 1664. A survey was conducted in the year. At that time, the land surveying Omizucho of Shintamura, Yamakawa territory Omachi, Yuki District, Shimousa Province (a baptism ledger, derived from the fact that during the latent period of Christianity, baptism was called "Omizu" and the person who gave the baptism was called "Omizu person") has been handed down. The JA Kita-Tsukuba Pear Sorting Plant will be newly established in 2022, and an internal quality inspection device (optical sensor) that can measure sugar content, fruit, browning, etc. will be newly introduced. The pears are sorted and boxed in the sorting room, and the pears are shipped under strict quality control. Although it is one of the best red pear production areas in the prefecture, Ibaraki Prefecture boasts the third largest production of pears in Japan. Chikusei City, which is under the jurisdiction of JA Kita Tsukuba, is one of the oldest pear-producing areas in Japan, and it is said that Shichirobe Nishimura opened a pear orchard (pears from Sekijo, Makabe County (now Chikusei City) are one of the oldest pear-producing areas in Japan). It has a history of pear cultivation since 1857. Various varieties of red pears are cultivated, from wase varieties to late maturing varieties, taking advantage of the climate, which has a large temperature difference between day and night, abundant water, and fertile soil belonging to the Kanto loam layer. At the newly established JA Kita-Tsukuba Pear Sorting Plant, the JA Kita-Tsukuba Pear Sorting Plant Subcommittee was established to cultivate and ship pears under a new system. There are 76 members in the subcommittee, and from July to October, seven varieties of Kosui pear, Hosui pear, Keisui pear, Akizuki pear, Niitaka pear, Nikkori pear, and Kanta pear will be cultivated while relaying. In addition, the JA Kita Tsukuba Pear Sorting Plant, which sorts pears produced by the subcommittee, was newly established and has been in operation since July. In the fruit sorting room, a sorting room is installed to prevent contamination from outside dust and foreign matter such as dust, and fruit sorting and boxing are performed in a clean environment. An internal quality inspection device was introduced for sorting, making it possible to measure even the internal quality that is difficult to determine from the outside. In addition, only pears that meet shipping standards unified by the prefecture and subcommittee are brought in by producers. In order to reduce the burden on the staff who lift thousands of heavy containers of pears a day and improve work efficiency, a hand crane is used to place the pears on rails, and sorting begins indoors. The staff visually checks each one for scratches and abrasions that cannot be detected by machines. Only those that pass the visual inspection pass through the internal quality inspection device and the fruit sorting machine to determine the grade. The internal quality inspection device instantly measures the sugar content, fruit and browning, etc., and the fruit sorting machine measures the size and shape instantly. The sorted pears are sorted into rank-based lanes, and the staff carefully packs them into boxes by hand. After being automatically packed by a packing machine, it is shipped to the Keihin market and lined up at mass retailers nationwide. It takes less than 5 minutes for a series of work from sorting to packing. From 2022, it will be a cardboard box with a new design and will be labeled as "JA Kita Tsukuba Pear Sorting Plant". I've heard that they ship about 4,500 boxes a day at peak times. Chikusei City and Sakuragawa City, which are under the jurisdiction of JA, are one of the leading production areas in Japan. In an average year, planting work begins in late November, and fruit setting is progressing favorably due to the amount of sunshine. In addition, due to the difference in temperature between daytime and nighttime, which is considered to be favorable conditions for growth, the sugar content is high and crispness is sufficient, resulting in a good quality small ball watermelon. The Kodama watermelons that were shipped were harvested by Toshiyuki Nagura (Chairman of the same section) and Kiichiro Nishimura of the JA Kodama Watermelon Section, and they are especially wonderful. The subcommittee has 147 producers in both cities growing about 60 hectares. It is mainly grown in a greenhouse that does not use heating in winter, and mainly ships the variety "Sweet Kids", which is characterized by a high sugar content and a crispness similar to large ball watermelons. Strict grading standards are established, and before shipping, JA staff conduct trial divisions, and only watermelons that meet the conditions such as sugar content, taste, shape, etc. are sold mainly in the Keihin market under the brand name of "Beni no Yuwaku". The watermelon, which is thoroughly sorted and sorted, is highly evaluated by the market and consumers. Every year, during the Kodama watermelon season, many shoppers from inside and outside the prefecture visit JA's farmer's market in search of small ball watermelons. "Small ball watermelon" is smaller than a large ball watermelon, but has a strong sweetness and crispness. It's about the size of a handball and fits right in your home refrigerator. It is a different variety from the large ball because the fruit is packed to the edge of the skin. Within the prefecture, Chikusei City and Sakuragawa City, both of which are under JA Kita-Tsukuba jurisdiction, are the leading production areas in Japan. Shipments begin in March, and producers are busy heading into the peak season in June. According to JA Kita Tsukuba, 147 producers in the two cities will plant about 60 hectares in 2020. Cultivation was done in an agricultural greenhouse, where the temperature was controlled every day. JA Kita Tsukuba Kyowa Vegetable Collection and Shipping Center and Akeno Vegetable Collection and Shipping Center in Chikusei City have begun shipping small ball watermelons. The city of Chikusei and the city of Sakuragawa, both of which are under the jurisdiction of the JA, are among the leading production areas in Japan. In 2022, planting work began in late November, and although there were some difficulties in cultivation management due to the effects of low temperatures and dryness, maturity was good due to the amount of sunlight. Due to the difference in temperature between daytime and nighttime, which is considered to be favorable conditions for growth, the sugar content is high and crispness is sufficient, resulting in a high-quality Kodama watermelon. The shipped small ball watermelons were harvested by Mr. Koichi Iizumi of JA Kita Tsukuba small ball Watermelon Group. Together, the three of us shipped 296 cases (8 kg per case) to the Keihin market in one day. In the same group, 142 producers in both cities cultivate about 61 hectares. Greenhouse cultivation without heating in winter is the mainstream, and we mainly ship the variety "Sweet Kids Watermelon", which is characterized by high sugar content and crispness similar to large ball watermelons. Before shipment, JA staff will test and divide only the watermelons that meet the conditions such as sugar content, taste, shape, etc. "Beni's Temptation (J-PlatPat, (111) registration number: No. 4524579 (151) Registration date: November 22, 2001 (450) Publication date: December 25, 2001 (441) Publication date: March 8, 2001 (210) Application number: Commercial application 2001-11786 (220) Date: February 14, 2001.

In fiscal 2022, we expect to ship about 370,000 tons and aim for sales of 1.1 billion yen. Shipments peak in early June and continue until mid-July. Around the age of 25, Mr. Iizumi took over the cultivation that his parents had started, using 28 plastic greenhouses (approximately 70 ares) to produce the cultivar Sweet Kids Watermelon. Seedlings were planted in early December 2022 and pollinated by hand from mid-January. If the temperature difference between day and night is large, the sugar content increases. It was cold this year, but there was a lot of sunshine, and it seems that the result is good. According to JA Kita-Tsukuba, shipments will begin in both cities on the 2nd and will reach its peak in June. The retail price is about 6,000 yen per box for 5 to 6 pieces (8 kg). Last year, 143 producers in both cities cultivated a total of about 60 hectares, sold about 370,000 boxes, and total sales reached about 1.04 billion yen. Small ball watermelon is characterized by a high sugar content of 12-13% and a thin skin, and the texture is crunchy and pleasant. Because it is the size of a handball, it is easy to put the whole thing in the refrigerator. The peak shipping season is from late April to June. Ibaraki is one of the leading producers of Kodama watermelons in Japan. A stone monument standing on the JA site says that trial production began in 1957. It was an area where large ball watermelon cultivation was popular, but as a result of seeking crops with a higher unit price in greenhouse cultivation, we ended up with small ball watermelons. By the way, it seems that JA staff say that "Kodama'' is not "small ball'', but is associated with the Shinkansen "Kodama'', which was about to start commercial operation at the time. According to Sweet Kids Watermelon (Hagihara Farm Co., Ltd.), the characteristics are a little strong, but it is excellent in fruiting because female flowers grow well and pollen is well produced even in low temperatures. It has a particularly good taste and a crunchy texture similar to that of a large ball. The flesh is firm with high sugar content, and the flesh is bright red. The pericarp is thin at around 2 mm, but it is hard and has few physiological cracks during cultivation, and can withstand transportation. It seems that the vine keeps after the second fruit, and it has good fruit setting and high yield. Cucumber cultivation at JA Kita Tsukuba began in the mid-1955s. At that time, in order to maintain the soil temperature in a simple steel-frame greenhouse, a stepping floor was made mainly of rice straw and rice bran, and it seems that plants were planted where heat was generated. After that, from around 1968, warmed cultivation and grafting cultivation in greenhouses were introduced, and it seems that the area was expanded by improving cultivation techniques. Currently, we are shipping all year round mainly for forcing cultivation and restraint cultivation, but we hear that the most shipments are from March to May. On the cultivation side, with the aim of creating healthy soil, organic matter such as compost is added, and soil diagnosis is carried out on all fields before planting. It seems that there is In terms of cultivation management, we have introduced a hydroponic cultivation system. This system does not require special soil or facilities, and automatically performs irrigation and fertilization work, enabling thorough management and reducing the amount of fertilizer used compared to conventional soil cultivation methods. In addition, daily management work is reduced, and there is no need to add fertilizers or soil conditioners when planting, so it seems that labor is reduced. In addition, since the crops absorb water and fertilizer efficiently, they are less likely to be stressed, which can be expected to increase yields and improve quality for producers. In terms of pest control, measures are taken to prevent the invasion of pests from outside the greenhouse, and natural enemy materials such as Amblyseius swirskii are released to reduce the number of times pesticides are used so as not to increase the density of pests. Apparently. In addition, all producers have been certified as environmentally friendly farmers by Ibaraki Prefecture, and it seems that they are working on environmentally friendly agriculture for the eternity of the future. According to history, it is said that Fujiwara no HIDESATO built Isa Castle in 938-947 due to the turbulence of Taira no MASAKADO. In the Middle Ages, the clan Isa dominated the area around Chikusei City. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Mr. Isa, who was on the Southern Court side, was attacked by the Northern Court side, and there is a legend that he escaped to Oshu when the main castles, Daiho Castle and Seki Castle, fell. From 1478, Katsuuji MIZUNOYA((The year of birth is unknown, and it is said to be the son of Tokiuji Isenokami MIZUNOYA. During the Eikyo turbulence that occurred in 1437, he was given to the Kanto Koga kubo Mochiuji ASHIKAGA together with his master, Mr. Yuki, and was defeated by the Shogunate army. Protected him until the end and killed him at Yuki Castle.)became the lord of the Shimodate and built the Shimodate Castle. Incorporating the idea of Feng Shui into the castle town, Dewasanzan (Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture) has five key points, including the demon gate, wind gate, sick gate, and Tenmon. Haguro Daigongen(It is watched as a god of Shinto and Buddhism based on the mountain worship and Shugendo of Mt. Haguro in Dewa Province. Based on the theory of Honji Suijaku, the Holy Kannon Bodhisattva was regarded as the Honji Suijaku god who appeared in the form of "Right" as the Honji Buddha.)was solicited and made a spiritual cornerstone. Mr. MIZUNOYA was working hard as a vassal of Mr. Yuki, but became independent, survived the Warring States period while being a small lord, and was relieved of 31,000 koku of rice (later about 50,000 koku) under the HIDEYOSHI administration and established the Shimodate domain. After that, Kiyokata UESUGI in the Kanto region searched for Tokiuji-Ko's orphan in order to revive Mizunoya, and it is said that Katsuuji was found. He was given 12 Naganuma hometown and 33 Isa hometown for his efforts to revive the Yuki clan as a senior vassal. In 1478, he founded Yakushido, and in 1481, he invited Buddhist priest “良室榮欣” (priest of Yuki Jokokuji V). The temple name was changed to "Jorinji(曹洞宗; 岡芹町)" after the opening of the mountain and Katsuuji(定林寺殿玉叟了圓大居士). In 1481, it was protected as a successive Bodhisattva temple, and the Mizunoya family donated 150 koku of the temple territory and built Dou. The bronze bell donated by KATSUTOSHI MIZUNOYA in 1567 (Muromachi period work, 4 cases of 4 steps of milk, total height 89 cm, diameter 49 cm) remains and was designated as an important cultural property designated by Ibaraki Prefecture in 1963. Many Dou, temple treasures, and records were destroyed by fire in 1880, but they were later rebuilt.)In the same year, the Haguro Daigongen of Dewasanzan (Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture) was solicited to establish the Kamihaguro Shrine and the Shimohaguro Shrine. When MIZUNOYA Family transferred to Bichu Nariwa in 1639, it seems that the feudal lord changed to Matsudaira, Masuyama, Inoue, and Kuroda in a relatively short period of time. When Fusashige ISHIKAWA became the feudal lord with 20,000 koku of rice in 1732, the Ishikawa family celebrated the Meiji Restoration for nine consecutive generations. In addition, Shimodate, Chikusei City, which is a castle, has been economically developed as a post town on the Yuki Highway, where many supplies have been brought in and it has become a collection place for “cotton,” which is a special product. Shimodate City, 旧真壁郡; Sekijo Town, Akeno Town, and Kyowa Town merged to form March 28, 2005. It is located in the western part of the prefecture, about 70 km north of Tokyo, about 15 km east-west, about 20 km north-south, and has an area of 205.3 km2. Adjacent to Shimotsuma City and Tsukuba City, which includes Japan's leading science and technology center city “Tsukuba”, to the east is Sakuragawa City, to the west is Yuki City, Yachiyo Town and Oyama City, Tochigi Prefecture, and to the north is Moka, Tochigi Prefecture. Adjacent to the city. The terrain is generally flat, and the Kinugawa and Kokaigawa rivers flow from north to south, forming a fertile countryside. The altitude is about 20 m to 60 m, and in the north there is a hilly area that connects to a part of the Abukuma mountain range, and the altitude is about 200 m. The climate is Pacific, mild and refreshing throughout the four seasons. As for the road system, National Road No. 50 is developed in the east-west direction and National Road No. 294 is developed in the north-south direction, and the intersection of these two lines becomes the center of the city. Furthermore, prefectural roads will be radiated from here to Ishioka City, Tsukuba City, and Koga City. The JR Mito Line runs from east to west, and the Moka Railway Moka Line runs from Shimodate Station to Toride in the south and Motegi(Not Motogi, Itako City, but different reading)in the north. 下館祇園まつり : One of the best summer festivals in Ibaraki prefecture, which is held over four days around Haguro Shrine and Shimodate Station. In addition to the 120-year-old Meiji portable shrine, the female portable shrine of the Aiden god, Tamayorihime, the Heisei portable shrine, which boasts the heaviest weight in Japan as a portable shrine carried every year, more than 30 children's portable shrines will be handed over. In the early morning of the final day, the magnificent sight of “Kawatogyo ; When the movement of the divine spirit itself is especially valued as a manifestation form of the divine power; 神幸祭” carrying the Meiji portable shrine into the river is brilliant. 母子島遊水地 : Many photo enthusiasts and fans gather at “Diamond Tsukuba,” where the sun rises from the summit of Tsukuba, which is seen twice a year.

Tsukubano, which is blessed with vast plains and water, is a treasure trove of fresh taste, where the blessings of the earth and the warmth of human hands come to fruition. As one of the best rice fields in the Kanto region, the vast plains at the foot of Mt. Tsukuba and several first-class rivers flow through the city. In addition, it is blessed with abundant land and water, and is famous as one of the leading rice fields in the prefecture. Its production and shipment are among the highest in the prefecture, and it is cultivated mainly in Koshihikari rice. In addition, rice crackers using rice, brewed products, miso, soy sauce, etc. have been handed down to the present day, following the old-fashioned manufacturing method. Due to the recent natural orientation, it has become popular and has taken root in the streets. In addition, there are many long-established confectioneries loved by literati in the Shimodate district, which prospered as the center of commerce and culture in the area. The city is also widely known as a large production area for red pears, which boasts one of the largest acreages in Japan. Due to pesticide-reduced cultivation, strict fruit selection, and traditional cultivation techniques, its beauty is outstandingly designated as a brand production area in the prefecture. The main varieties are the popular varieties of “Kosui Pear” and “Hosui Pear” and the large “Niitaka Pear”, which are in season from summer to autumn.

It is a hybrid of Shinsetsu and Chikusui pear, and has a sugar content of about 13 degrees, a strong sweetness, and a moderately refreshing acidity”. Ibaraki Prefecture has a history of pear cultivation since the Edo period and is one of the oldest pear producing areas in Japan. July 4th is “Nashi Pear Day”, pears in Ibaraki Prefecture start in July. Pear production is the second largest in Japan. The climate with a large temperature difference between day and night, abundant water, and blessed soil are suitable for pear cultivation. In the prefecture, it is produced mainly in Chikusei City, Shimotsuma City, Kasumigaura City, Ishioka City, and Yachiyo Town.

You can enjoy it until around the time. Greenhouse-grown pears (Kosui) will be distributed from July, and the open field will be from early August to late August.

Chikusei City forms the largest pear producing area in the prefecture. The history of pear cultivation in the area is old, and cultivation began in 1857 in the former Sekijo Town and in 1860 in the former Shimodate City. Former Shimodate City was designated as a fruit and vegetable brand production area in the prefecture in 1985, and Sekijo Town was designated in 1991. In June 2022, Nippon Electrolytic Co., Ltd. (a manufacturer specializing in electrolytic copper foil, whose main business is the development, manufacture and sale of electrolytic copper foil for in-vehicle batteries and copper foil for circuit boards such as 5G, was founded in 1958. Since then, it has manufactured electrolytic copper foil for printed circuit boards and seems to have grown along with the development of the electronics industry. The company's electrolytic copper foil has excellent quality due to its unique electrolytic technology and surface treatment technology, and its performance is high. It has won high praise in the industry. For example, high-density mounting technology that realizes miniaturization and high performance of mobile devices such as smartphones, and for electric vehicles (EV), hybrid vehicles (HEV) and stationary vehicles. Lithium-ion secondary batteries that contribute to higher performance of electricity storage. These are supported by electrolytic copper foil that meets various needs. This is the copper layer of the copper-clad laminate that forms the conductor pattern of the printed circuit board. The thin copper sheet used in the circuit board, which is manufactured using the principle of "electroplating"), seems to double the sales of high-end products of electrolytic copper foil for circuits within a few years. Strengthen sales outside Japan by leveraging the customer base of Denkai America, a US subsidiary, with domestic surface treatment capacity. At the head office factory (Chikusei City, Ibaraki Prefecture) of the production base, surface treatment equipment for high-end products will be strengthened. It plans to develop high-end markets such as the 5th generation communication standard (5G) and high-density wiring board (HDI) markets, which are growth fields, and raise profitability. On June 2, 2020, the JA Kita Tsukuba small ball watermelon subcommittee distributed 10 cases (about 50 cases) of the specialty small ball watermelon "Sweet Kids" to medical staff at the Sakuragawa Regional Medical Center in Takamori, Sakuragawa City. The JA Kita Tsukuba Yuki Horticulture Committee's Eggplant Department held a meeting to align the 2023 eggplant crops at the Egawa Multi-Purpose Assembly Facility in Yuki City. Thirty-four people, including producers, JA, government officials, and market managers, are participating in the effort to unify shipping standards for profitable sales. This year, planting work began in late March, and the trees have grown favorably under favorable weather conditions. Due to the thorough management of fertilization by producers, good quality and smooth shipment are expected. The head of the department called on the members, "From now on, the shipment volume will increase, and quality will become more important. Let's keep a close eye on it, and lead to profitable sales, aiming for an average unit price of 1,600 yen per gram." On June 28th, 2023, the JA Kita Tsukuba Child-rearing Support Center "Hadashikko" held a project play "Sweet and big! Blueberry picking" at Mrs. Nakamura's farm in Matsuda, Sakuragawa city. 30 children in 13 pairs of parents and children participated in the JA jurisdiction and experienced picking blueberries. When the children entered the field, they energetically searched for a blueberry tree with many fruits with their mother. It seems that they enjoyed the harvest while plucking the dark purple ripe fruits and stuffing them into their mouths with a smile, exclaiming, "It's sweet and delicious" and "I ate a lot." Parents who participated said with a smile, "I'm glad I was able to participate because it was a project I was looking forward to'' and "I got absorbed in picking with my child.'' The participants were also treated to blueberry milk by nursery teachers and JA staff, and Yoshiko of the farm gave them home-made blueberry jam. The event, which brings smiles to people's faces, shows the greatness of Japan's leading production areas.



It is dark purple and glossy, and the meat is soft, but the skin is firm and it has a long shelf life. Since it lasts for a long time after harvesting, it is also useful as a seller, and it has the advantage of being able to sell with confidence and deliver it to consumers. Those with a reddish purple part under the calyx have high freshness. Harvesting is done before the sun rises because the nutrients stored in the night are clogged. The reason is that if you harvest after the sun rises, the nutrition will return to the branches and the taste will be halved. Therefore, because it is vulnerable to wind and rain, the cultivation method has also been devised. The time-consuming V-shaped tailoring is done so that the sunlight is evenly exposed. I heard that there are gaps and it is easy to get sunlight, it is easy to maintain, and it is easy to harvest. There is no choice but to take measures such as preventing the wind from falling over. There are various stories in the process of the birth and utilization of eggplant. “Gourmet” is not only about tasting the ingredients, but also about exploring their background. It is a bridge that connects producers and consumers. Ingredients have the dual value of the creator and the plant.



The medium-length kurobee eggplant has a vivid navy blue and luster. The navy blue of eggplant is a color name that has been used since the Edo period to represent the strong navy blue color of eggplant. This pigment is a polyphenolic pigment called "nasunin (a type of natural pigment called anthocyanin that is abundantly contained in purple foods such as blueberries and purple cabbage)". It is a functional ingredient that is expected to have a preventive effect against lifestyle-related diseases as a strong antioxidant. I want you to grow up to the skin and eat it.


Atago-sama of Omachi: The date of establishment is unknown, but it became a village shrine in the Meiji period. The enshrined deity is Amutsuchi no Mikoto, and it seems that there are Katori Shrine and Inari Shrine as shrines within the precincts. He is a child of two gods, Izanagi and Izanami, who are Hino Kagutsuchi no Kami, Hino no Yaogami no Kami, Hinokabiko no Kami (Kojiki), Fire Spirit (Homusuhi), Itsuno Kakutsuchi (Nihonshoki), Fire God (Homusubi no Kami) ) (Hoshizume no Matsuri no Norito). The mother goddess, Izanami no Mikoto, died after giving birth to the fire god. The separation of the creator gods tells us that the acquisition of fire was an epoch-making event for human life.
