The annual handling volume of apples, a typical agricultural product, is 60,000 tons, which is the highest in Aomori Prefecture. Hirosaki City's "Kawato District Apple Facility (Section of village Akudo section of village Ashino, Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture)" in Hirosaki City, which is under the jurisdiction of the same JA, has an integrated fruit sorting field and refrigerator on a vast site of 34,500m2. It is the largest apple sorting facility in the prefecture. Inside this gigantic facility, the famous Komatsu forklifts are used to move apples brought in from producers and to ship apples that have been sorted and processed into products. The main forklift used is the FE25-2, a long-running model equipped with a lithium-ion battery. It seems that the impetus for the introduction is closely related to the nature of the business. At JA Tsugaru Hirosaki, we accept deliveries from producers from 8:00 to 18:00. Excluding the 1-hour rest period, the reception work is done for 9 hours, and it seems that the forklift is required to operate for 9 hours or more per day, considering overtime work. "We needed two forklift trucks to operate all day long. However, Komatsu's FE series has a rapid recharging system that restores the battery capacity to 80% in one hour. If you charge it in an hour, you can use it for a full day, so you don't need to have two.” The first introduction was in September 2016, when the FE25-1 was rented. After that, after a five-year rental period, in September 2021, I purchased the FE25-2, the latest model of the FE series. Usually, bids are made for the purchase of machines, but it seems that it was a special order because of the evaluation of the rapid recharging system that only Komatsu machines have. It is a special specification forklift that can be lifted up to a height of 6,000 mm, and the FE25-2 that was introduced seems to be a special specification commonly known as the apple specification. The height of one pallet for apples is about 1,700 mm, and when storing in the refrigerator, the height is about 6,800 mm because the pallets are stacked four times. Therefore, the forks can be raised to a height of 6,000 mm (standard is 3,000 mm) so that the forks can be set on the fourth pallet, and the backrest is 1,600 mm (standard is 1,000 mm) to match the pallet and cargo. set to height. At Komatsu Ltd., "CONEXPO 2023" was held in Las Vegas, USA from March 14th to 18th, 2023. It is the world's largest trade fair for construction equipment, along with Germany's "bauma", which was held in October last year and where Komatsu also exhibited. In 1981, Komatsu exhibited for the first time at CONEXPO held in Houston, USA. Based on the concept of "Komatsu the Total Machine", as a full-line manufacturer of construction machinery, we are appealing to the world for our technical capabilities, and have been highly praised by visitors from around the world. Komatsu continues to provide the world with a variety of construction equipment technologies and innovations that are ahead of the times. It seems that the history of apple cultivation in Aomori Prefecture was introduced in 1875. As an employment measure for the warrior class of the Tsugaru Hirosaki clan who lost their jobs due to the Abolition of the han system, the Ministry of Home Affairs Kangyoryo(In July 1874, it was established in the Ministry of the Interior to encourage agriculture, industry and commerce. The ministry used to have four divisions: agriculture, industry, commerce, and compilation. Section 1 was in charge of general affairs, reception, round trips, engraving, and usage. The second division was in charge of the company and fishing, the third division was in charge of compiling, reporting, and table making, and the fourth division was in charge of stock raising, cultivation, and agricultural tools. Section 5 was in charge of plants, insect fish, and seed storage, and Section 6 was in charge of schools, agriculture, museums, and analysis. Section 7 was in charge of sericulture, silk reeling, and tea processing, while Section 8 was in charge of lacquerware, pottery, dyeing, and other 100 crafts. Section 9 was in charge of commerce, and Section 10 was in charge of expositions. When the Kanshokyoku was established on September 11, 1876, commercial affairs were transferred to the Kanshokyoku. In January 1877, Kangyo-ryo was abolished, and construction work was transferred to the Ministry of Engineering, while agricultural affairs was transferred to the newly established Kanno Bureau of the Ministry of Home Affairs.)distributed three seedlings and started to cultivate apples. Faculty of Agricultural and Life Sciences, National Hirosaki University The slogan, “Disseminate to the world and create together with the community,” states the mission of the university, and in order to fulfill that mission, education and research, human resource development, and social It is no exaggeration to say that the current prosperity is due to the success of breed improvement by the Aomori Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station. Hirosaki started exporting apples to New Zealand in 1993 and to the United States in 1995. As a result, as mentioned above, the export volume of apples increased from about 2,000 tons in 1993 to about 16,000 tons in 2003. As a successful example in the Taiwanese market, the export volume of apples to Taiwan is stable, and from 2003 to 2016, it fluctuated around 14,000 tons per year. Currently, about 95% of all domestic exports are destined for Taiwan instep. It is thought that the background to this was the active cooperation in agricultural technology with Taiwan under Japanese rule. The story that Inazo Nitobe put the sugar industry in Taiwan on track is famous, but there are other pro-Japanese people from the era of Japanese rule. Emotions are high, and it seems that trust in Japanese brands was seen as a major success factor. According to a field survey by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Aomori Prefecture at the time, high-end Fuji apples were sold at specialty stores and department stores in Taiwan for between 250 and 320 yen each. A box of 8 Fuji apples for gift-giving costs 5,200 yen, which is an exceptional value. Seems to have been secured. JA Tsugaru Hirosaki decided to make an additional payment to the producers in response to the sharp drop in the estimated 2021 rice producers, mainly due to the drop in demand for eating out due to the corona disaster. JA Tsugaru Hirosaki held a press conference on December 22nd to announce support measures. Then, “Tsugaru Roman Rice (from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries variety registration homepage, variety name application number 8664 at the time of application publication, application date 1996/03/26, application publication date 1999/03/12, registration No. 8280, registration date 2000/09/05, duration of breeder’s right 20 years, extinction date of breeder’s right 2020/09/06, name and address of expired variety registrant, Local Incorporated Administrative Agency Aomori Prefecture Industrial Technology Center (8 Tanaka, Kuroishi City, Aomori Prefecture) Names of those who cultivated registered varieties, Mr. Noboru Nakabori, Mr. Mitsutaka Shime, Mr. Masao Tachi, Mr. Yasumasa Mikami, Mr. Hiromasa Yokoyama, Mr. Wataru Kobayashi, Mr. Hisayoshi Tateda, Mr. Kazuharu Maeda, Mr. Ryuichi Kudo, Mr. Motoharu Tateyama, Mr. Yoichi Kawamura, Mr. Hidehito Tsugawa, Mr. Minoru Namioka, Mr. Tetsuo Kudo, Mr. Zenzo Oyamada, Outline of the characteristics of the plant of the registered cultivar, this cultivar is a fixed variety cultivated by crossing “Akitakomachi Rice” with “Fu-kei 141 Rice”, and is a cultivar (Aomori).

The teachings of our predecessors, who have built their own culture based on the local climate, history(Dating back to the middle of the Jomon period, from B.C. 3000 to B.C. 2000, the remains believed to be the trace of large-scale hottate bashira have been excavated at the Sannai-Maruyama site. On the other hand, rice-paddies did not spread in the Nansei Islands and Sakhalin / Hokkaido, therefore, the Shell mound period and then the Gusuku period followed the Jomon period in the Nansei Islands and Post Jomon period then Satsumon period followed after the Jomon period in Sakhalin / Hokkaido (Although there was an example of a rice-paddy during the early Yayoi period shown in the Tareyanagi site in Aomori Prefecture, rice-paddy cultivation also did not widely spread in Tohoku region in Honshu until the middle to the late Yayoi period and some theoretical views that Post Jomon period followed as in Hokkaido.))and climate, are still warm. The forest area occupies about 66% of the total land of the prefecture. There are many active volcanoes such as Mt. Iwaki, Mt. Hakkoda, and Mt. Osorezan. The Ou Mountains run vertically in the center, and from the Hakkoda Mountains, which is the northern end of the Mountains, to the Natsudomari Peninsula. It is divided into the eastern part (south of the prefecture) and the western part (Tsugaru) with the central mountain range leading to the western part of the Shimokita Peninsula as the boundary. In the southwestern part, the Shirakami Mountains, which has been registered as a ‘World Natural Heritage Site’ as the world’s largest virgin forest of fagus crenata blume, is colored. The Tsugaru Peninsula can be seen north of the Tsugaru Plain, and Tappizaki can be seen at the northern end. Japan’s largest sand hills, Sarugamori sand, continue for 17 km along the Pacific coast, and the largest Ogawara lake in the prefecture (62 km2). From the north to the Shimokita Peninsula, Omazaki welcomes you to the northernmost tip of Honshu. Surrounded by the Sea of Japan, the Tsugaru Straits and the Pacific Ocean on three sides, the total coastline is approximately 796 km. It holds Mutsu Bay, which is a large inner bay, in the center: As a production area for farmed scallops(Mizuhopecten yessoensis(Ezo; Emishi)(Jay, 1856)), it is entertaining tourists and others.In the surrounding area, the tsushima current moves northward along the sea of Japan, and a part of it enters the tsugaru strait and becomes warm current, moving southward in the Pacific Ocean. Offshore, this Tsugaru warm current, the “Oyashio” Current from the north, and the “Kuroshio(Black)” Current from the south continue to collide over time. A lot of plankton that feed fish are generated in the sea area where they collide with each other, and many fish gather and a rich fishing ground prospers. The climate varies greatly depending on the region, especially the heavy snowfall in the Tsugaru region in winter and the Pacific side in summer; The easterlies (Yamase) is a typical difference. In the emotional winter, cold and moist air hits the Ou Mountains and snows in the Tsugaru region. On the Pacific side, I hear from residents that there are many dry sunny days with the Ou Mountains as a barrier. Since summer is cold and moist, there are many cold and humid days on the Pacific side. You can enjoy the beautiful natural environment because the changing seasons are clear. Aomori Nebuta (the nighttime festival in Aomori) (Aomori City, Aomori Prefecture) : A total of more than 2 million tourists visit each year, and it seems that the voice of joy can be heard so far(A summer festival to be held from August 2nd to 7th); The three major festivals in the Tohoku region(The six festivals are the Aomori Nebuta Festival, the Akita Kanto Festival, the Morioka Sansa Odori Festival, the Yamagata Hanagasa Festival, the Sendai Tanabata Festival, and the Fukushima Waraji Festival). It is said that it is a variant of the Tanabata festival lanterns, but its origin is unknown to its predecessors. “Tanabata Festival” that came from China during the Nara period (710-794) + The customs that have been in Tsugaru since ancient times and events such as sending spirits, dolls, and sending insects are integrated. It is speculated that when bamboo and candles became widespread, they became lanterns, which changed into dolls and fan “Nebuta”. The Tanabata Festival is a Misogi(Ablution)event that drains dirt into rivers and the sea on the night of July 7. However, there also exists toro which are used indoors as on a Buddhist altar, such as oki road (one variety of nonbasic-type ishi road, which has no sao and therefore whose chudai is directly mounted on a natural stone serving as a base, note: the term “nonbasic” means that any of the basic parts of ishi road, that is, hoju, kasa, hibukuro, chudai, sao and kiso, is missing) and tsuri road (hanging toro), as well as being a portable toro for use in a festival (such as one used in Nebuta Festival, which is held in Aomori Prefecture, and Yamaga road used in Kumamoto Prefecture).Shed the lanterns and prayed to her ancestors for a disease-free life. Folklore distribution and dialectology such as Tohoku region, Shinetsu region “Nemburi sink”, Kanto region “Nebuchi sink, Neboke sink, Nemutta sink”; Nebuta:Ritual to banish the sleep demon (esp. in Tohoku). The honey is marbling and the sweetness is very strong and very rich. Other folk events having a characteristic of the preliminary celebration include events of literally, rice planting in the garden such as ‘literally, race planting in snow’ in Yoshida, Yokote City, Akita Prefecture and ‘Enburi (a rice planting dance named after a tool for rice field preparation)’ in Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture. Over again, ‘Lake Towada and the Oirase-gawa River’ ranging from Akita Prefecture to Aomori Prefecture is designated in the two categories of ‘Special Places of Scenic Beauty’ and ‘Natural Monuments’ for its values. “Hirosaki City”, Located in the western part of Prefecture, it is famous as the third largest city in the prefecture after Aomori City and Hachinohe City in terms of population. It is an inland area with a total area of 524.12 km2 and overlooks the Hakkoda mountain range in the Ou Mountains to the east. It has the highest peak of Mt. Iwaki called “Tsugaru Fuji apple” in the west, and the Shirakami Mountains, which is registered as a World Heritage Site, straddles Akita in the south. In the plains, it originates in the Shirakami Mountains(The season for mountain hiking in the Shirakami Mountain Range has come with beech trees shooting buds!). The Iwaki River, a first-class river with the largest basin area in the prefecture that flows into the Sea of Japan via Jusan Lake, flows north for about 30 km. The Hirakawa River and Aseishikawa River meet, and the fertile and vast Tsugaru Plain in the basin forms one of the best grain-producing areas in Aomori Prefecture. In the small hills around the plain, there is a 5.44 km2 orchard that produces about 40% of the core agricultural products, apples. The forest area stretches around the orchard and becomes an area blessed with a lush natural environment. Overview of my favorite Hirosaki city(Takaoka; iwaki Town); During World War II, the war ended after avoiding war damage. Developed as a cultural city based on numerous cultural heritage represented by castles and cherry blossoms and a blessed natural environment. Merged with 12 surrounding towns and villages in 1955 and 1957. Aiming to become the largest apple-producing area in Japan, a garden city of apples and rice. The population is declining, the birthrate is declining and the population is aging, and the daily living area is expanding. Responding appropriately to these issues as the environment surrounding rural areas changes drastically; I hope that it will be a comfortable city for everyone to live in. As we now face a new age of population decline and an aging society, small and medium retailers and other businesses that are rooted in their individual communities are asked to try new projects and new system development in order to work for the realization of a society in which it is comfortable to live and lives are rich. The sense of cardboard in the photo is outstanding. Indeed, a survey of people’s views regarding the importance of city centers reveals that providing a “hospitable environment for the elderly to live” is considered to be one of the most important roles of city centers. “Kuroishi City”, It is located almost in the center of the prefecture. It is blessed with abundant nature and abundant hot springs, with the Tsugaru Plain on three sides and the Hakkoda Mountains on the east.In an old castle town known for producing tasty “Kuroishi Rice” and “Kuroishi Apple”. We are promoting town development with the aim of becoming a colorful and attractive “country tourism industry city” in the season.Important preservation district of historic buildings: Nakamachi Komise Street(It is said that Komise, which is a major feature of the merchant town, was encouraged by the first lord of Kuroishi, Nobufusa Tsugaru-Ko, when he divided the town. In 1656, Meireki learned 5,000 koku from the Hirosaki clan. Later, it became private land when the land tax was revised in the Meiji era. Despite becoming a completely private property, it still exists as a public space without obstructing the passage of people. The hood in front of the town house facing the street is called Komise in Aomori and Akita Region.)and autumn colors famous place “Nakano Momijiyama”. At the same time, “Kuroishi fried soba” and “Tsuyu fried soba” are attracting attention nationwide. “Sun-Fuji apple”, Which is cultivated without a purse, can be exposed to Sun light compared to Fuji Apple, and tends to have a stronger sweetness. Rich in sweetness made by crossing Ralls Janet(Kokko; Originated in the United States Commonwealth of Virginia(caleb ralls farm). Around 1868 (Keio 4, the first year of the Meiji era) or (Meiji 4). In Japan, it has been active as a key variety of apple production for more than 100 years in the Meiji, Taisho and Showa eras. The unification of names was realized in 1900 (Meiji 33), and until then, the names differed depending on the region. It is useful as the latest species.)and Delicious, with plenty of juice and crunchy. This is a selection of products. Only those that have passed the sugar content, appearance, coloring, shape, etc., checked with an optical sensor(transmitted light), It( refers to the light that has passed through an object, but this tomato is a beautiful product. Beer–Lambert–Bouguer law; Pierre Bouguer(仏), August Beer, Johann Heinrich Lambert(独), transmittance : Percentage of incident light of a specific wavelength passing through the sample(Optics). A method that stabilizes the absorption of light by substances. Fresnel equations: Fresnel coefficient(仏, Fresnel coefficient); amplitude reflection coefficient(偏光の振幅透過係数); amplitude transmission coefficient(偏光の反射係数)And, conducted an impact survey of radioactive substances before shipping. Honey(Sorbitol; It tends to be made from leaves by photosynthesis and carried into the fruit. It is converted into fructose and sucrose, which are the sources of sweetness in the fruit. However, when it is fully ripe, it stops converting to sugar and absorbs water as it is.)sensor; Measure the size of the flesh, which has become transparent and yellow around the core. Due to the special electronic circuit technology, it is almost unaffected by indoor lighting and outdoor sun light, and is almost unaffected by outside air temperature. In a general example, an apple is placed on a circular rubber sheet base on the edge of an infrared irradiation window and pressed by hand for measurement. Only high class for gifts that has all the elements of sugar content, taste, and color. “Controlled Atmosphere Storage: Air Conditioning”, Artificially change the atmospheric composition in the storage and combine it with refrigeration -Long-term storage of fruits and vegetables such as fruits. After harvesting fruits and vegetables -It has a physiology effect and loses nutrients due to respiration during storage. In addition, although the quality deteriorates, the respiratory action is suppressed by lowering the oxygen concentration – Deterioration of quality is suppressed and storability is increased. There seems to be 21% oxygen in the air. The method lowers the oxygen concentration and raises the carbon dioxide concentration. Fruits and vegetables – Respiration is greatly suppressed when stored under low oxygen and high carbon dioxide conditions. In addition, it suppresses the decomposition of chlorophyll and the production of ethylene, which is a maturation and aging hormone-Numerous metabolism suppressed. Low oxygen and high carbon dioxide in the atmosphere inside the storage: Oxygen contained in the air in the storage is burned with propane gas -Convert this to carbon dioxide and lower the oxygen concentration -Controls the concentration by adsorbing and removing excess carbon dioxide on activated charcoal. General atmospheric composition : 2-5% oxygen, 2-10 carbon dioxide. APPLE : Respiratory activity increases in the early stages of puberty, reaching peak in the latter half and then aging. Depending on the type of fruits, the oxygen concentration and carbon dioxide concentration suitable for storage differ. However, it depends on the variety. Extreme hypoxia – Anaerobic respiration occurs and stink components such as ethanol and acetaldehyde are produced – In addition, the commercial value is impaired, and enormous damage is unavoidable. High concentration of carbon dioxide – Carbon dioxide injury such as internal browning and softening of meat occurs. Attention is required because the suitable oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration ranges are relatively narrow. Also, it seems that it is used in combination with low temperature, but I am learning. Optimal conditions are 1-3% oxygen for stored apples. Also, humidity 90-95%, storability for 9 months. It can be expected to have a great effect on germination suppression and green retention. Aomori Nebuta (the nighttime festival in Aomori) (Aomori City, Aomori Prefecture) : A total of more than 2 million tourists visit each year, and it seems that the voice of joy can be heard so far(A summer festival to be held from August 2nd to 7th); The three major festivals in the Tohoku region(The six festivals are the Aomori Nebuta Festival, the Akita Kanto Festival, the Morioka Sansa Odori Festival, the Yamagata Hanagasa Festival, the Sendai Tanabata Festival, and the Fukushima Waraji Festival).

The honey is marbling and the sweetness is very strong and very rich. “Local idol: Alps otome” ,The taste of apples is small but firm. It was named after the “candy apple” that you often see at local food stalls. Member’s named is given a lot of surnames as “an idol who supports Apple Farmer”. The office is Apple music. It seems that he is mainly active in Hirosaki City. Just pause the communication of information from the member in formula vlog. Perform live at events. She is active in various fields such as live performances at kindergartens, nursery schools, and welfare facilities, and regular appearances on radio. What impresses me is singing in sign language, probably because of their efforts and training. We would like to support and pay attention to it with a little effort. Apple’s daughter’s sister unit, which has been active for more than 10 years while repeatedly replacing members. The Japanese female dance and vocal unit encourages us and makes us think about where our hearts are. From rural areas to the whole country. How many adults are encouraged by the courage of young people? Peach in Aomori Prefecture has been cultivated mainly in the Sanpachi area for a long time, but in recent years, the cultivated area has been increasing mainly in the Central and South areas. “Fujisaki Town”, Minamitsugaru District is located in the center of the Tsugaru Plain, Aomori Prefecture. It borders Aomori City and Kuroishi City in the east, Hirosaki City in the west, Itayanagi Town in the north, and Inakadate Village in the south. It is about 25 km from the town center to Aomori City, the capital of the prefecture, and about 9 km to Hirosaki City. With a total area of 37.29 km2, there are no mountains or wilderness in the town area, and the geology belongs to the Quaternary alluvium, and it is blessed with fertile soil suitable for agriculture. The climate is relatively warm in the Tsugaru Plain, and it is rich in variety, with rich nature surrounded by water and greenery adding color to the four seasons. Former Fujisaki Town is the earliest open land in Tsugaru, and it is believed that people have lived there since prehistoric times because pottery from the late Jomon period was excavated. In the role of nine years ago (1051), an army led by Minamoto no Yoriyoshi and Yoshiie defeated Mr. Abe, a powerful family in Oshu. It is said that Fujisaki is said to be “the birthplace of Tsugaru’s history” because it is said that he built a castle and established Mr. Ando. Based in Fujisaki, which is proud of it, it expanded its power, advanced to Jusan Lake, flew over the Sea of Japan against the background of a strong navy and fleet, and reigned as the champion of Kitaoshu. “The Legend of Gozen” and six plate monuments presumed to be from the Northern and Southern Dynasties have been found, and it is presumed that they had reached a high cultural level under the influence of Kamakura. After Mr. Ando moved out of Tsugaru, he was ruled by Mr. Nanbu, and after the rise of Mr. Tsugaru (Oura) at the end of the 16th century, he was ruled throughout the feudal era. As a village, important public facilities such as a representative office, a hawk waiting area (a place to capture hawks donated to the shogunate), a brewery (a base for collecting and shipping rice grains), and a transmission horse (a base for transporting goods and documents) are established. In 1889, with the enforcement of the “city system and town / village system”, Fujisaki Town, which merged with Fujikoshi Village and Katsuno Village, and Nakajima Village, Obata Village, Yazawa Village, Mizunuma Village, Nakanome Village, Gobayashi Village, and Nishi Nakanome Village, Yoshimukai Village, Kameoka Village, Tawara Village, Shimo Tawara Village, and Kashiwagi Dam Village merged to form a 12-里 village, but in 1955 Fujisaki-cho and 12 town village merged on an equal footing, and in 1956. It seems that Hayashizaki was separated from Itayanagi Town and merged into the former Fujisaki Town. In the Kamakura period, the former Tokiwa village became the official position of Ezo Satan as a miuchibito of Mr. Hojo, and in the Muromachi period, it was related to Mr. Ando, a powerful family of Tsugaru who was incorporated into the Kyoto Miuchibito, and Mr. Kitahata of the South Dynasty. It seems that the place name derived from the ruins of the warlord’s mansion remains. In the Kamakura period, Kui Natan was said to have been built on a hill surrounded by the Togawa and Namioka rivers (Tokiwa Village magazine). Fukudate is also said to have been attached from a fort built in the Ando period in the Middle Ages. It is said that Kumanomiya was solicited as a mansion god. It is the ruins of the Heijo mansion. The place name of Tokawabata (currently Fukushima district) can be seen in the middle name of Tsugaru-gun. In this way, it was cultivated as a rich rice-growing area from early on. With the enforcement of the municipal system in 1889, it became Tokiwa Village and Tomiki Tate Village, and in 1924, the villagers’ long-cherished desire to open “Kita Tokiwa Station” on the Ou Main Line (between Hiromae and Aomori) was realized. With the founding of Transport Co., Ltd., the transportation of straw products in addition to rice and apple agricultural products has become active, bringing great results to the daily lives of villagers and greatly contributing to the development of industrial development. As the first merger, Tokiwa Village and Tomiki Tate Village merged, and in 1955, the-department of the Mitsuya district of the neighboring village Rokukan Village was incorporated to become the former Tokiwa Village. New Fujisaki Town was born as the smallest town in the prefecture by the equal merger of former Fujisaki Town and former Tokiwa Village on March 28, 2005. It seems that New Town is promoting new town development in order to take advantage of the favorable location conditions, inherit the results of town development that each town and village has been working on, and further develop and leap forward in the future. Under the slogan of “a rich and gentle town created by everyone,” “a town that entrusts the future to children, a town that is easy to grow,” “a town that connects cities, a town that is easy to go out,” and “a town that is fragrant with water and green rural culture,” I will aim. Located at the southern tip of the Tsugaru region in Aomori Prefecture: Owani Town, Minamitsugaru is blessed with abundant nature and greenery, and builds new facilities in the old tradition, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of each season as the back room of Tsugaru. About 50 km from Aomori City, the prefecture’s capital. It borders Hirosaki City on the north-west side, Hirakawa City on the east side, and Akita Prefecture on the south side. Our town, which is promoting the creation of a town full of dreams and vibrancy, will continue to be loved as Tsugaru’s Okuzashiki, aiming for a more comfortable life for people, centered on skiing, hot springs and apples. That’s it. Location: 140 degrees 34 minutes 18 east longitude, 40 degrees 30 minutes 56 north latitude (latitude and longitude of Owani Town Hall), wide area: East-west 20.5 km, North-south 16.4 km, Area: 163.43 km2. There are various theories about the origin of the slightly mysterious place name, but since there was a large Amida Nyorai sitting statue long ago, what was called “Oamida” gradually changed from “Oami” to “Oani”. It is said that the crocodile was eventually associated with being the guardian deity of Buddhism and became known as the “Owani”. As you can see from these origins, Owani Town is a town closely related to Buddhism in the neighboring area, and the sitting statue of Amida Nyorai, which has been designated as a national important cultural property, is still enshrined. It is a cold region with a lot of snow in winter, and due to this, skiing as a leisure and competition is still popular. Of course, this kind of ski culture was not born naturally. Its history goes back to the Taisho era. Mr. Yasuo Atomu, the postmaster of Owani at that time, decided to spread skiing to the town to relieve the stress of young people and make it a specialty of Owani, and asked Mr. Sadasaku Aburagawa, a soldier from Owani. Request cooperation. At first, Mr. Yukawa was reluctant to say, “Owani has no fever,” but at the end, he agreed on the condition that Mr. Atomu would collect participants and ski equipment. As a result of these efforts, the first ski class was held in Owani in 1921, and three years later, in 1925, the All Japan Ski Championship was successfully held, and since then, nationwide ski competitions have been held frequently in the town. Has been done. In addition, as a special product of the town, there is the traditional vegetable “Owani Onsen Bean Sprouts”, which was cultivated before 350 years and was presented to the Tsugaru feudal lord at that time. This Owani Onsen bean sprout is characterized by its unique aroma and crispy texture, and it seems that the manufacturing method is still confidential information that only the producer can know. And, as the name suggests, Owani Hot Spring bean sprouts are cultivated using the Owani hot springs that spring from the basement. The town is an old hot spring town. According to one theory, its origin is said to be more than 800 years ago, and it is said that the Buddhist priest Enchi Shonin, who was traveling in the eastern country at that time, discovered Owani Onsen. While building a temple in Owani, one day a dream of Enchi, who fell ill, told a child that “there is a hot spring in this area. You should take a bath on the day of the Ox.” It is said that he recovered when he obeyed. In addition, Tsugaru Tamenobu, who became the first Tsugaru feudal lord in the Edo period, is said to have healed his eye disease when he washed his eyes at Owani Onsen according to his dream. “Hirakawa City”, It is located at the southern end of the Tsugaru Plain in the southern part of Aomori Prefecture. Towada City and Kosaka Town, Akita Prefecture, bordering Towada Lake in the east. The west borders Hirosaki City and Owani Town across the Hirakawa River. To the north are Aomori City, Kuroishi City, and Inakadate Village. The south is an anchor type adjacent to Akita Prefecture, with a total area of 346.01 km2. The terrain is part of the Tsugaru Plain and has fertile soil geology suitable for agriculture. Flat land used as a paddy field and hills at an altitude of 20 to 300 m. A plateau used as a combined management zone for paddy rice and Apple, a mountainous area that belongs to a part of the Hakkouda / Towada volcanic group. Most of them are national forests(A forest cultivation system in which the people of a nation invest in government-owned forests and fields:shared forest system). The climate of the city belongs to the Sea of Japan climate. Hakkoda Mountains in the east and Mt. Iwaki in the west are surrounded by mountains on all sides, so the climate is stable and warm throughout the year. It is said that it is the most blessed area in the prefecture with little temperature difference. There is a lot of greenery, and the natural environment where people can lead a comfortable life is maintained, and the changes of the four seasons are beautiful. It is also famous for having relatively few natural disasters. Former Hiraka Town: Many ruins from the Paleolithic period to the early modern period have been confirmed, and it seems that the footprints of ancestors can be seen everywhere. As a result of repeated mergers of towns and villages, the town boasts one of the largest areas and populations in the prefecture, and as a result, the terrain in the region has been divided into three categories, flat land, plateau, and mountainous area, depending on the altitude and shape. The flat land is composed of paddy fields and urban areas, the plateau is a complex area of paddy fields and apples, and the mountains are vast forest areas connected to Minami Hakkoda, where high-cold vegetables are cultivated in a cool climate. In this way, the region has developed under the blessed land, with the agricultural industry as the core industry from ancient times. In addition, the hot spring sources in various places have not only been the base of people in this area for a long time, but also as a tourism resource, heal people who visit this area both inside and outside the prefecture. In recent years, the all-weather sports facility “Hiraka Dome” has been completed, which is useful for maintaining the health and improving physical strength of residents, and has a presence as a symbol of the city. Onoe area: Until now, it has prospered as a granary of Tsugaru, and in particular, the rice produced in 1984 has been famous as a high-quality rice-rich area with the highest yield per 10 ares in Japan. In addition, apples are one of the most famous agricultural products, and they are the second largest agricultural products after rice. The industries that have grown rapidly when people began to seek moisture in their lives during the economic boom of the 1965s were the manufacturing industries such as brooms and goza, and the planting and landscaping industries. In particular, the planting and landscaping industry has continued to grow in proportion to the rapid economic growth, and has now grown into a major industry that represents the region. In addition, it has been known as a town of plants for a long time, and each family can see many splendid gardens and hedges, including the nationally designated scenic spot “Seibi Garden”. It has been certified as “Rural Amenity Contest Excellence Award”, “Rural Landscape 100 Selections”, and “Kaori Landscape 100 Selections”. This is also the trajectory of the efforts and challenges of our predecessors, and has been passed down as a fortune of wisdom and potential that we have acquired over the long history. In addition, these green efforts have contributed to the tourism industry and are visited by many people, centering on the “Omotenashi Romankan”, which connects Saruka Shrine, which has been deeply worshiped from inside and outside the prefecture, to Seibi Garage. “Ikarigaseki area; Former Ikarigaseki Village”: A barrier was established during the Tsugaru feudal era, and was responsible for military and economic control. In addition, because it was blessed with abundant hot spring resources, it became the lord’s temporary store (accommodation place) when the attendance was changed. Therefore, it has come to prosper as a hot spring post town with a checkpoint. In the 1955s, the hot springs of Oaza Ikarigaseki were integrated for the first time in the prefecture, and the status of “Ikarigaseki Onsenkyo” was established through the development of Yunosawa Onsen and Synergistic Hot Spring / Furutoobe Onsen, and the Sekisho was restored to promote tourism. It developed as “Barrier Toide Yunosato”. In addition, National Highway No. 7 runs through the center of the area and has the JR Ou Main Line “Ikarigaseki Station” and the Tohoku Expressway “Ikarigaseki Interchange”, so it has been a gateway to Tsugaru as a transportation hub since the feudal era. There is. Currently, the roadside station Ikarigaseki “Tsugaru Seki no Sho”, which consists of a direct sales office for specialty products, a cultural tourism center, an indoor pool “Yueikan”, and a hot spring exchange center “Okariya Palace”, is a sightseeing base in this area. It has become. Under these circumstances, the former Hiraka Town, the former Onoe Town and the former Ikarigaseki Village merged on January 1, 2006, and Hirakawa City was established as the 10th city in the prefecture. Based on the basic philosophy of “Aiming for a city where people, regions, and industries sparkle,” and “a city where people can work together with local residents.” , We are steadily moving forward with the aim of realizing “a city where comfortable living spaces are secured and the area is sparkling” and “a city where industries that make the most of the characteristics of the area are sparkling”. Nishimeya Village, Nakatsugaru District: About 30 minutes by car from Hirosaki City, it is said that community development that coexists with nature is being promoted as a village with the Shirakami Mountains. “Tsugaru Fuji apple” Located at the southern foot of Mt. Iwaki, it is also known as the village of RINGO. Most of the Shirakami Mountains are in the core area of the World Heritage Site, so entry is restricted, but anyone can feel free to enter the village, centering on Anmon Falls, which was designated as a prefectural natural park in 1981. There is a buffer zone where you can touch the world heritage sites. In addition to the three natural hot springs that boast abundant hot spring water, there are accommodation facilities that can be used in a variety of situations, from hotels to campsites and condominium styles, making it an ideal leisure base for exploring the Shirakami Mountains. In addition, as the four seasons change, there is an environment where you can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities such as fishing, canoeing, edible wild plants and mushroom hunting. The village is located in the western part of the Tsugaru area, 140 degrees 18 minutes east longitude, 40 degrees 34 minutes north latitude, and 120 m above sea level, and is the headwaters of the Iwaki River, which is the main water source of the Tsugaru granary area. Topography: 16 km from Hirosaki City, the main city of Tsugaru, with the Iwaki River, and another heaven and earth with a bag valley in the east and west. The total area of the village is 246.02 km2, of which 93% is forest and 91% of the forest area is occupied by national forests. Meteorology: Unlike the plains, it is a gorgeous village surrounded by mountains up to 1,000 m above sea level, so the temperature is low and the daylight hours are short. It has a climate on the Sea of Japan side with heavy rain in summer and heavy snowfall in winter. During the former feudal clan, it belonged to the Hanawa Sho Komagoshi group, and was called Tashiro village, Shirasawa village, Oaki village, Muraichi village, Fujikawa village, Imoritai village, Sunakose village, and Kawahara Hiramura. It became the jurisdiction. After the abolition of the feudal clan in 1871, a village clerk was assigned, and then Tashiro Village, Tsugaru District, 4th-Ward, 3rd-Large ward under the large-ward and small-ward system, and the Tocho government office was established to manage the village. From 1883, the heads of the households were set up in Tashiro Village and 8 other villages, and the villages were supervised. It became Nishimeya Village under the jurisdiction of. After the war, it was temporarily booming due to the reopening of the Ota mine in 1952. The Meya Dam was completed in 1960, and depopulation began around this time due to changes in the industrial structure, and in 1971 it was designated by the Act on Emergency Measures for Depopulated Areas. In 1978, the Ota mine closed, spurring depopulation. In 1981, Anmon Falls was designated as “Akaishi torrent Anmon Falls Prefectural Natural Park”,
and in 1993, the Shirakami Mountains were registered as a World Natural Heritage Site, and the tourism industry has been promoted and improved. The construction of the Tsugaru Dam was announced in November 1993, and the administrative districts of Sunakose and Kawaratai are subject to submergence relocation, and further population decline is expected. JA Tsugaru Hirosaki was born on July 1, 2003 by merging 6 JAs in the Tsugaru region (JA Hirosaki, JA Iwaki Town, JA Fujisaki, JA Owani Town, JA Ikarigaseki Village, JA Nishimeya Village). Apples are a typical agricultural product, and the sales amount is more than 80% of the total. In addition, rice is the second crop after apples, and the sales volume centered on Tsugaru romance accounts for 10% of the total. In addition, as for vegetables, we collect and sell tomatoes, cucumbers, green soybeans, corn, kinusaya, peppers, etc., and as special fruit trees, we collect and sell stubene, pear, cherries, melons, peaches, prunes, etc. In addition, it also handles flowers and flowers such as Keio zakura, Gentiana, and Alstroemeria. Hirosaki City (former Hirosaki City / former Iwaki Town area), Fujisaki Town (former Fujisaki Town area), Owani Town, Hirakawa City (former Ikarigaseki Village area), Nishimeya Village located from the center to the south of the Tsugaru region It spans a large area. Overlooking Mt. Iwaki, the symbol of Tsugaru, it is said that it handles agricultural products produced in the area from the foot of the mountain to the Shirakami Mountains, from the Iwaki River basin to the southern part of the Tsugaru Plain and the border of Akita Prefecture.

Jonagold Apple: Raised by the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station(College of Agriculture and Life Sciences; Cornell University(United States educator who in 1865 (with Ezra Cornell) founded Cornell University and served as its first president (1832-1918) . United States businessman who unified the telegraph system in the United States and who in 1865 (with Andrew D. White) founded Cornell University (1807-1874) .)in the United States in 1953. Seed parent "Golden Delicious Apple" × pollen parent "Jonathan Apple". Announced in 1968 and introduced in Japan in 1970. This photo is cultivated without a bag. The shipping time is from mid-October to late December, and we are waiting every year. A variety born in the United States, the Akita Fruit Tree Experiment Station was introduced in Japan in 1970. The fruit weighs about 350 g and is brightly colored with a crimson color on a yellow background. It is conical and has dull red stripes on the skin. The flesh is dense and famous as a variety with an excellent balance of sweetness and acidity. More specifically, in 1943 at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in the United States, "Golden Delicious apples" were crossed with "Kogyoku apples" and selected, and the name was announced in 1968. It's tasty, but it has a refreshing impression with just the right amount of acidity. In addition, the sweetness is in harmony with the acidity, and it is characterized by a slightly soft and crispy texture. An optical sensor type fruit sorter that can check the internal situation and convert it into data seems to be effective for fruit growth management. It seems that it is possible to check whether the sugar content and acidity change when the type of fertilizer, the amount of water given, and the harvest time are changed. It seems to be useful for creating new varieties, changing the way of growing, and producing more delicious fruits. It seems that the advantage of the optical sensor fruit sorter is that it contributes not only to the selection at the time of shipment but also to the management of the growing situation and the decision of the future growing policy. The fruit color chart for coloring is based on the Fruit Tree Experiment Station standard of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and it can be used as a unified scale because it is possible to judge the ripeness of fruits, timely harvest, and compare between production areas using the standard color chart. It is sold by the Japan Horticultural Agricultural Cooperative Association. In detail, fruit color is an important index for determining the optimal harvest time, ripening control, quality control, etc., but color information is a human sense and contains psychological and empirical factors. Evaluation is not easy, and it seems that color charts are used as evaluation criteria. As a color chart for evaluating the color of fruits, it was commercialized under the supervision of the Fruit Tree Experiment Station of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (currently the Fruit Tree Tea Industry Research Division, National Research and Development Corporation, National Agriculture and Food Research Organization), and the Japan Horticultural Agriculture Cooperative Association. There seems to be a standard fruit color plate for fruits sold by the federation. However, since this color chart is limited to compatible items and varieties and is composed of a single-color rectangular chart, there is a large error by the evaluator in evaluating the color of fruits with irregularities and patterns on the surface. It seems that the problem will occur.Jonagold apples are a breed that was created by crossing "Golden Delicious apples" and "Kogyoku apples" at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in the United States. In Japan, it is the 4th most produced variety after "Fuji apple'', "Tsugaru apple'' and "Orin apple'', and is popular as an excellent familiar apple variety. The optical sensor fruit sorting machine irradiates light on each fruit, analyzes the amount of light that passes through the inside of the fruit, and measures sugar content, acidity, internal damage, etc. By shining strong light on apples, the wavelength and amount of transmitted light can be measured, and obstacles inside the pulp can be measured and sorted, and the sugar content can be measured. An excellent product that can be inspected without cutting or damaging the apple.
