At the Shiojiri Pass on the border between Shiojiri City and Okaya City, a traditional festival called "the shortest in Japan" was held on Friday, June 24, 2022. The Shiojiri Onodate Memorial Festival held at the Shiojiri Pass located at an altitude of 1000 meters (to commemorate the visit of Emperor Meiji to the Shiojiri Pass in June 1880 and Emperor Showa in October 1947, at exactly 10 am It is said to be the shortest festival in Japan because it only takes a few tens of seconds to complete the festival. Currently, the government, city council, and business community of Okaya City and Shiojiri City participate. It seems to be an important place for people to exchange opinions.) About 40 people from Okaya City and Shiojiri City attended the event. The festival was started 142 years ago to commemorate the visit of Emperor Meiji to this Shiojiri Pass 75 years ago, and is held twice a year in June and October. It seems that the Nagano Prefectural Livestock Experiment Station in Kataoka, Shiojiri City has been grazing cotton sheep in earnest on the grassland on the premises since 2022. It seems to have two purposes: research to utilize sheep for the management of idle devastated land and response to the recent "rising feed prices". The grazing land is located along the foot of Mt. Higashiyama on the city road, and it seems that you can see the idyllic sight of cotton sheep grazing leisurely until autumn. Suffolk mutton known for meat among cotton sheep (more than 99% of the mutton consumed in Japan is imported from overseas. Suffolk mutton with black face and limbs is considered to be high quality lamb, especially from Shinshu. Suffolk is popular, its prices are on the rise from a shortage all year round, and it seems to be described as phantom lamb. The peculiar smell of lamb is due to eating green grass in the meadow until it is shipped. Suffolk mutton grown indoors is fed with grain feed. It has a low odor, has a taste and flavor not found in beef and pork, and has a very delicious meat quality. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a super brand sheep. , One of the most delicious mutton in Japan. In Chinese medicine, mutton is said to have a warming effect. It seems to increase blood, increase energy, and strengthen a weakened body. I've heard that people who have problems such as poor physiology, weak energy, and easy tiredness should eat it regardless of the season.) It seems that they are grazing seven sheep and feeding them weeds. In recent years, attention has been focused on utilization methods such as grazing sheep and goats in idle devastated areas, preventing the growth of weeds, and keeping deer who come to eat grass away. However, in addition to weeds, tree buds and plants that should be left behind may grow in the devastated land, so research will confirm what the cotton sheep actually eat and what they do not eat. Until now, it seems that they were mainly bred in the barn and fed the purchased feed. Feed prices have risen by 30-40% in the last two years, and research seems to be expected to curb feed costs. It is well known that the test site handles cattle, pigs, chickens, etc., but it is also one of the few testing and research institutes that handles cotton sheep. The engineer in charge of cotton sheep at the dairy beef cattle department said that by having the passing citizens see the cotton sheep, it would be an opportunity to let them know the necessity and importance of the livestock test site. I would like to look forward to the development of Japan's livestock industry in the near future. “Shiojiri City, Nagano Prefecture”, Located at the southern end of the Matsumoto Basin, almost in the center of the prefecture. The Narai and Tagawa rivers of the Shinano River system and the Ono river of the Tenryu river system flow down into the city, and the Shiojiri Pass, Utoh Pass, and Torii Pass are watersheds to the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan.

The Hirooka shopping street, which is changing into a cityscape suitable for Tanka no Sato(塩尻短歌館: 広丘原新田), and the road service facing the main road connecting those shopping streets, create a lively city. In addition, it is blessed with tourism resources such as Yatsugatake Chushin Kogen National Monument(It was designated as a national university on June 1, 1964 and has an area of 389.57 km2. Plateaus such as Utsukushigahara and Tateshina Plateau are dazzling.), and the number of tourists such as mountain climbing, hiking, and resorts is increasing year by year. Shinshu Shiojiri Agricultural Park “Tirol no Mori(Opened in 1999, it is a comprehensive theme park with the motif of the Tyrol region of Austria.)”, which embodies a tourism-agriculture integrated industry, will attract a large number of customers at seasonal events. In the Narakawa District, which is located at the entrance of Kisoji, there are Niekawa-juku and Sekisho on Nakasendo, Narai-juku, and Kisohirasawa, a town of Kiso lacquerware.
