Due to aging, the newly built Karatsu City Government Building has been completed, and the inauguration ceremony is being held on July 18, 2022. It seems that about 80 people concerned have celebrated the completion of the new government building, which was built on the same site as the government building of Karatsu City, which is 60 years old this year, due to problems such as earthquake resistance. The new government building is a seismically isolated 7-story building with a total floor area of about 17,000 square meters and a total construction cost of about 8.2 billion yen. It seems that it is possible to continuously respond to disasters unique to Japan, such as consolidating resident's cards and welfare-related windows on the 1st and 2nd floors, conscious of the ease of use for citizens, and equipped with an emergency generator that can respond for 72 hours. Karatsu City started some operations such as the Citizen's Division and the Tax Affairs Division at the new government building on July 19th of the same year. “Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture”, It is located in the northwestern part of the prefecture.

The western part borders Matsuura City, Nagasaki Prefecture, separated by Genkai Town and Imari Bay. The northern part faces the Genkai Sea.In the eastern part, the Sefuri mountain range slopes gently toward Karatsu Bay. The central part has a flat part along the basin of the Matsuura River, and the western part has a hilly Uwaba plateau. Karatsu Bay, which forms the land, has strip-shaped Matsubara and sandy beaches on both wings, and Takashima is located in the center of the bay.etc. Agriculture: Early paddy field remains including continental ground stoneware and carbonized rice were concentrated and discovered in the northern Kyushu region, such as the Itazuke site located at Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City, Nabatake site located at Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, Magarita site located at Fukuoka Prefecture and Notame site located at Fukuoka Prefecture. The essence of art that connects the modern era to the future. Traditional ceramic art of ‘Karatsu ware’ dates all the way back to the Momoyama period. In the beginning of karatsu ware, cloudy straw ashes glaze was used frequently. But after the Meiji Restoration, karatsu ware lost the clan's patronage, and the number of kilns which canceled production increased, they doubted whether it continued. ‘Ichiraku 2 Hagi 3 Karatsu’ : Designated as a traditional Japanese craft along with the branch Takeo Kokaratsu ware. Tadazane's younger brother, the Lord of the Mikawa-Yoshida Domain (present-day Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture), and Tadatomo OGASAWARA (whose descendants were lords of Karatsu Domain, Hizen Province [present-day Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture] at the time of the Meiji Restoration) invited Sohen Yamada, one of the Four Heavenly King's (as the closest followers of the founder of the Sansenke(Omote, Ura, Mushakoji(Kankyuan))tea ceremony, SEN no Sotan, were known), to revive the matcha ceremony, though separately from the Ogasawara style. Tadazane(Shimousa Country Koga Castle-Mr. Fuchu Ogasawara)stayed the position as the lord of the Kokura Domain until the end of Edo period and the line of Tadatomo which was relocated to some places, was finally relocated to the Karatsu Domain, Hizen Province (presently Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture) holding 60,000 koku of rice and the line of Nagatsugu was finally relocated to the Anji Domain, Harima Province (presently Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture) holding 10,000 koku of rice as the result of change of rank due to misrule and extinction of the family line.

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.

A T-shaped horizontal hole type stone chamber opens to the south. It is famous as a building in the first half of the 7th century. Suiko period (i.e. the Asuka period, esp. under the reign of Empress Suiko, approx. 592-628 CE) : Although there are various theories as to when the Asuka period in the history of Japan began but it is general to regard enthronement of Emperor Suiko as the beginning. During the Asuka Period, Asuka culture prospered in the age of Empress Suiko and Hakuho culture flowered in the ages of Emperor Tenmu and Empress Jito. In Japan there were two examples of Shosei which were, Prince Naka no Oe (Emperor Jomei and Empress Saimei's Prince, later called Emperor Tenchi or Tenji ; 626-671 CE, reigning: 668-671 CE) and Emperor Jito (Emperor Tenchi's Princess, Emperor Tenmu's Empress and later called Emperor Jito), however there are some opinions that the three examples of Empress Jingu and Iitoyo no Himemiko (Princess Iitoyo) and Ahe no Himemiko (Princess Ahe) were considered as Shosei. Although the blood line of the Emperor Tenmu completely vanished from the Imperial line, a descendant of Imperial Prince Toneri was given the family name of KIYOHARA no Mahito and became the patriarch of the Kiyohara clan, and a descendant of Prince Takechi was given the family name of Takashina no MAHITO and became the patriarch of the Takashina clan; they both prospered for a long time. “Hamamatsu Blueberry”, From production to wholesale land - “Miyakoda Town, Kita Ward, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture.” The nationwide demand for mandarin oranges has increased since the 1955's. Northern Hamamatsu City for nationwide Mandarin Orange cultivation-A citrus-specialized pioneering agricultural cooperative was established on the eastern shore of Lake Hamana. Then, citrus farmers living in Shimizu City and Shizuoka City enter the Area : Then, they settled as a group of farmers and citrus cultivation became popular.

A major production area of-Policy of reducing acreage (under cultivation) : Mandarin orange production is excessive nationwide. Liberalization of ‘orange’ imports in the 1980s and 90s. In recent years, the aging of union members has become more serious, and the number of closed parks is increasing. Organized by producers who will be the leaders from 2009 - “Maruhama Activation Study Group” was established.

People-friendly Miyakoda: With the opening of the Shin Tomei Expressway, we have been working on the "Issha One Village Shizuoka Campaign" with "NEXCO Central Japan" as a partner since September 2010. It seems that there are active exchanges with urban residents who utilize local resources, such as picking and harvesting oranges, farming experiences such as growing vegetables, and planting cluster amaryllis. Since ancient times, there have been many farmers in the Miyakoda area, and it seems that regional connections have been made, such as exchanging harvests and skirting, greetings in the morning and evening, and exchanging information on crop management. With the establishment of the Hamamatsu Smart Interchange on the Shin Tomei Expressway in the Miyakoda area, it seems that the motto is to welcome visitors from afar with kindness and warmth. Located in the lower reaches of the Miyakoda River in Kita Ward, Hamamatsu City, about 40 minutes by car from the center of Hamamatsu City, it is a rural area with rural scenery along the Miyakoda River and mandarin orange gardens in the hills on the north side.

Gunma, Tochigi, and Ibaraki prefectures announced on July 14, 2022 that they would extend the "prefectural discount" for tourism promotion until August 31 of the same year. As an alternative to the resumption of GoTo Travel, the Japan Tourism Agency under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism will provide financial support for tourism support measures such as prefectural discounts for prefectures where the infection status of the new coronavirus has settled down. "Discount" (support for regional tourism business) will be implemented from April 1, 2021 to August 31, 2022 for accommodation. As an alternative to GoTo Travel, it is a tourism support measure unique to each prefecture that subsidizes up to japanese 7,000 yen per person per night.

Gunma Prefecture is "Aikyo Gunma Project", Tochigi Prefecture is "Prefectural Citizens One Family One Trip", and Ibaraki Prefecture is "Iba Travel Anshin Discount". Previously it was until July 14, but it seems that it will be postponed according to the national policy. It seems that the target audience and terms of use will not change even after the extension. In Ibaraki, it seems that we will be recruiting more accommodation businesses and local businesses that can use coupons, which are subject to the system, in response to the decision to extend.

It is almost in the center when viewed from the entire Kanto Area. It is sandwiched between the Tone River and Watarasegawa River. A flat land pattern that leaves a lot of fertile and abundant agricultural land with abundant water. The soil quality is typical Kanto loam layer volcanic ash soil. The southern part of the city, one part of Akabane, Qokugo, Minoya has a light reddish-brown topsoil. Before the start of cultivation in greenhouse, Squash, Chinese Cabbage, etc. were the main ones. In the northern Satoya, Watarase, Oshima, Tatara District, dark clay soil : Mainly, Paddy Rice and "Eggplant" have been produced. It is a warm climate peculiar to the inland, and the annual average temperature is around 14 ℃. With recent warming, the situation will change a little, but it can be said that it is comfortable. Especially, the daylight hours from January to February are the longest in Japan. It is also impressive that there are few natural disasters such as typhoons and snow damage. The city is blessed with land, water and winter insolation. It has good conditions to make Agricultural Products and contributes to the community. “Cucumber” : It developed rapidly with the spread of vinyl greenhouses in the early 1965s. Most of the crops prefer water and light, sow and then harvest : It grew quickly in about two months and was suitable for public interest. Therefore, cultivation is very hard and there is no time to rest once the harvest begins. Even now, the situation hasn't changed, and I feel like I'm going down. Since that time, colleague and study sessions and shipping work have been carried out. At that time, the most prosperous production areas were the neighboring Saitama and Shizuoka prefectures. Similar structures such as climate, land pattern, and distribution are mainly mentioned. However, due to the lack of widespread use of heaters, the harvest is less than half of what it is now. From the mid-1975s, the house style, facility management, and variety breeding type have been promoted. Top vegetable production in Japan : It plays an important role as an important supply and production area for the metropolitan area. If the output has been on an increasing trend since 2008.

However, the situation is that the number of bearers is decreasing due to the aging of Farmers and the shortage of successors. Decrease in vegetable consumption and increase in imported vegetables. Furthermore, it faces various issues such as dealing with abnormal weather(Extreme heat and heavy rain)in recent years. Overall, the previous plan will benefit farmers.

Based on the Tone River repair revision plan formulated in 1949.)caused a large flood. Construction began in 1963, with the first adjustment in 1970 and the second adjustment in 1972. The third adjustment was completed in 1997 in line with the progress of the renovation plan upstream of the Uzuma River. In the Tone River, water intake is restricted due to drought every 2 to 3 years. I hear that water intake is restricted due to drought. Construction of Watarase Reservoir (Yanaka Lake) in the 1st regulating reservoir near the supply area. Since 1990, we have been replenishing water during droughts in cooperation with the dams in the upper reaches of the Tone River. Watarase manmade pond used to prevent flooding: Inland, a wetland with a reed bed (about 1,500 ha), which has one of the largest areas in Japan. It is famous as a valuable existence in the world where wetlands are decreasing. The vast wetland environment looks monotonous at first glance, but due to differences in microtopography and soil moisture, a diverse environment is created. About 1,000 species of plants, about 252 species of birds, about 1,700 species of insects, and about 50 species of fish form an ecosystem. Of these, 60 species of endangered species designated by the country, 44 species of wild birds, and 23 species of endangered species designated by the country inhabit. Compared to the main lakes and marshes in the Kanto region, the confirmed flora and fauna are by far the most valuable species and numbers. Currently, there are only a limited number of areas in the Kanto region that maintain such a rich natural environment. Large and small ponds and swamps are scattered until the 1950s. It seems that many colonies such as aquatic organisms and wet plants were also seen. After that, as the river water level drops, the groundwater level also drops and drying progresses. Wetland environments are deteriorating, with the loss of valuable native vegetation peculiar to retarding basins to date. In order to regenerate this lost wetland environment, it is essential to regenerate large and small swamps and wetland environment in the second adjustment pond. Aim to regenerate habitats for various animals and plants by suppressing the growth of invasive species. At the same time, promote utilization as a place for academic research and environmental education. Every year in late March, "Yoshi(Phragmites australis)-yaki(Prevents pests and diseases of wet plants and promotes sprouting.)" is performed to light the reed bed over almost the entire area. By exterminating pests and preventing the invasion of trees, it plays an important role in conserving the ecosystem. It has a vast area of about 33 km2. The confluence of the Tone and Watarase rivers in the town has been selected as the first important cultural landscape in the Kanto region because of its highly regarded culture of living in harmony with water. It is the closest to Tokyo in the prefecture, and it takes about an hour to access the city center. In recent years, many companies have entered the market due to its location.

Eggplant has excellent adaptability, such as the fact that it always bears fruit when it blooms. Therefore, it seems that various sizes and shapes are made according to the climate and climate of each region and the taste of the land. Especially in the Tohoku region, the temperature that is suitable for growing eggplants is very short, so round eggplants and small eggplants that can be harvested relatively quickly are often cultivated, and long eggplants are gradually becoming the mainstay as they move southward. It tends to be produced as a variety. Eggplants cultivated in the west of Kansai and Tohoku are elongated with a length of about 20 to 30 cm. The fruit is soft and suitable for grilled eggplants and simmered dishes, and it seems that it is not very suitable for pickles. However, the ones cultivated in Tohoku seem to be suitable for pickles because the fruits are relatively tight. Typical varieties include "Chikuyo eggplant" and "Kokuyo eggplant".

Yachiyo Town, Yuki District, Ibaraki Prefecture, is located in the western part of Ibaraki Prefecture, almost in the center of the Kanto Plain, and seems to have played a role as a source of vegetables mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area for a long time. It is also a famous production area boasting the largest production in the prefecture where Chinese cabbage has been cultivated since the Taisho era. Spring Chinese cabbage, which is shipped from March to June every year, has fresh, soft leaves and a faint sweetness, and is highly trusted by consumers. Pears are also famous as a brand production area in Ibaraki prefecture, but as the agricultural population is declining year by year, I think the love of farmers who work hard every day to deliver delicious food to consumers is wonderful.

Poet Akiko Yosano (1878-1942) visited the Chiba Prefectural Higher School of Horticulture (now the Faculty of Horticulture, Chiba University) in June 1924. 60 tanka is composed of tanka titled 10 species. Alley of Papaver rhoeas: kashu-ruiko (1925-1926) and her husband Hiroshi Yosano (Tekkan) (1873-1935)'s poem one tanka are engraved. He spends his boyhood in exile away from his parent's home after his father's business failed. He was adopted by Anyoji Temple (Oriono, Sumiyoshi Ward, Osaka City) of the Honganji sect of Jodo Shinshu sect in Osaka. There he studied Buddhist scriptures and Chinese classics, but at the age of fifteen he left his foster home and spent more than a year at Anju-in Temple in Kunitomi, Okayama City, relying on his older brother Daien Wada(雲伝神道の相承, 慈雲尊者の相承, 神道灌頂について三種: 私立感化院). After that, Hiroshi embarked on the path to modern tanka. It seems that he first went to Tokyo in August 1892.

It is located approximately 20 km from the city center, and is approximately the same distance from Kichijoji, which is a popular place to live. Despite its proximity to the city center, the city is full of nature and parks. ​There are also plenty of sports facilities, libraries, childcare support facilities, hospitals, etc. There are many flower beds in Matsudo City that are maintained and managed by citizens. As part of its flower-filled campaign, the city is promoting the creation of a city filled with flowers, in which citizens are responsible for day-to-day flower bed management, and the city provides support such as providing flower seedlings. In order to maintain and manage flower beds neatly, weeding and watering are indispensable, but there is great joy in seeing the flower beds beautifully colored with flowers that we have grown ourselves.

In Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture, it seems that urban-type suburban agriculture is being carried out against the background of the location close to a large consumption area. Tourist agriculture such as pear, grape, green soybean, and sweet potato digging seems to be popular. There are three inland industrial parks in the city: Kita-Matsudo, Minoridai, and Matsuhidai. It seems that he has been trying to attract companies on the condition that the industry does not emit smoke and pollution, and has also tried to accumulate industry. Also, in recent years, the content industry promotion project has been certified as a regional revitalization plan by the Cabinet Office, and it seems that the city is actively working to attract the content industry. The city reportedly had 1.21 million tourist arrivals in 2016. In spring, various events are held in each area, such as cherry blossom festivals, fireworks festivals, and Matsudo festivals held at five locations in the city. In the Matsudo area, there is the "Tojo Residence", which is designated as an important cultural property of the country. In the Yagiri area, the ferry boat "Yagiri no Watashi" that has been in operation since the Edo period still remains. The Kogane area has many historical and cultural resources such as "Hodoji Temple" and "Tozenji Temple". In addition, the national government is promoting efforts to strengthen the competitiveness of agriculture by making agriculture a growth industry. However, the foundation of agricultural management is weakening due to a shortage of farmers, a decrease in agricultural land due to urbanization, and the promotion of free trade in agricultural products such as the TPP(環太平洋パートナーシップ). Efforts to hand over agriculture to the next generation and strengthening of farm management power are required. In addition, in order to revitalize the society and regions with a declining population, the Basic Plan for Food, Agriculture and Rural Areas (based on the Basic Act on Food, Agriculture and Rural Areas, establishes policies that the government should work on in the medium to long term regarding food, agriculture and rural areas). Based on changes in the situation, it is supposed to be changed approximately every five years.On March 31, 2020 (Tuesday), a new basic plan for food, agriculture, and rural areas was approved by the Cabinet.) We are working to turn the agriculture and food industries into growth industries and to promote the maintenance and demonstration of their multifaceted functions. As a measure for the sustainable development of agriculture, management development through the incorporation of agricultural management, etc., and full operation of the Agricultural Land Intermediate Management Organization (a "reliable intermediate receiver of farmland" established in all prefectures in 2014) to become a bearer collection of farmland. It seems that they are working on consolidation, consolidation, and restructuring of agriculture-related organizations (agricultural cooperatives and agricultural committees). In addition, measures to ensure a stable supply of food include ensuring food safety, promoting food education and expanding consumption of domestic agricultural products, promoting the sixth industrialization, exporting agricultural, forestry and fishery products and foods, and promoting the overseas expansion of the food industry. , the production, processing and distribution process of agricultural products.
