Disaster prevention measures to be discussed at home [September 1st is the day of the Family Disaster Prevention Conference]: To protect important families from disasters. We do not know when a natural disaster will strike. It is possible that an earthquake will occur when the family is separated.

In the discussion, disaster prevention measures at home will start by raising each person's awareness of disaster prevention. On May 26, 2022, the governor of Okayama Prefecture, the chairman of the Prefectural Tourism Federation, and the branch president of the JR West Okayama Branch held a joint press conference at the prefectural office, and local governments and organizations in the prefecture and six JR Group companies tied up 7 - Announced the outline of the large-scale tourism project "Okayama Destination Campaign (DC)" to be held in September. It seems that about 180 businesses will be developed in various parts of the prefecture, which will lead to the revitalization of the tourism industry, which is depressed by the new coronavirus. Five themes of art, view, taste, history, and relaxation are set. In the art, Inujima (Higashi Ward, Okayama City), Ushimado Yacht Harbor (Setouchi City), etc., which are the venues for the art festival, are linked to the summer session of the Setouchi Triennale (August 5th to September 4th). It seems to be decorated with the popular miscellaneous goods masking tape "mt" from Kurashiki. The opening event will be held at JR Okayama Station on July 1st. From the beginning of June, prefectures will distribute special guidebooks at major JR stations and travel agencies nationwide, and will post promotional posters. At a press conference, the governor said, "We want to use DC as a detonator to boost tourist destinations that are hit by corona, rather than making it transient." This is the 6th DC held in Okayama. During the previous campaign period (April-June 2016), it seems that about 3.22 million people visited major tourist facilities (112 locations) in the prefecture, up 10.5% from the same period of the previous year. The introduction of travel tax payments began in November 2019 in Setouchi City, Okayama Prefecture. It is a form of hometown tax payment. If you read the QR code and select the donation amount, an electronic gift that can be used immediately up to 30% will be issued, and it seems that you can use it for shopping at the roadside station. It is customary to actually visit the area and have them pay the tax while having fun, instead of receiving the return goods of the taxpayer as in the past hometown tax payment. We are also developing a "travel destination tax payment system" that will immediately send a "Setouchi City e-town gift" to your smartphone when you donate it from the Setouchi City e-town gift special site. When you come to travel, you can apply for hometown tax payment on the spot and use the "Setouchi City e-gai Gift" to pay at restaurants and accommodation facilities. To apply, scan the QR code with your smartphone. On June 4, 2022, the Tamano Coast Guard said that it had rescued two people who had fallen into the sea off the coast of Ushimado in Setouchi City. Seems to have given a letter of appreciation to. At around 11:25 am on May 15, 2022, a mini boat with two men in their 70s capsized about 100 meters off the coast. It seems that the man who rescued him heard a call for help at the cafeteria in Setouchi City, which he runs, and called out to the two men who were on their way home from fishing, and helped them by boat to the scene. The two were taken to the hospital, and it seems that there was nothing special about their lives. "Setouchi City" has a total area of 125.46 km2 and is located in the southeastern part of Okayama Prefecture, bordering Okayama City in the west and Okayama City and Bizen City in the north. The first-class river Yoshii River flows from north to south at the western end of the city, the Senjo Plain spreads between the Senjo River in the center, and the hills facing the Seto Inland Sea and the islands such as Nagashima and Maejima Island in the southeastern part. Become. The city was born on November 1, 2004 by the merger of Ushimado Town, Oku Town, and Osafune Town. The name "Setouchi City" has been selected for the following reasons. With the benefit of the Seto Inland Sea, you can imagine a scenic, warm and calm area. It is an area that has prospered as a relay point for culture and logistics using the Seto Inland Sea, and it is hoped that it will protect the nature of the Seto Inland Sea and carry the culture and industry of the Seto Inland Sea area. This area faces the Seto Inland Sea, and it can be imagined geographically. It is blessed with the shining sun of Setouchi and can appeal to the abundant crops and fresh seafood. "Ushimado" is an old place name that appears in Manyoshu. However, "Ushimado" ("Sankaiki" 1179), "Ushimazu" ("Kaito Shokokuki" 1467), "Ushimamon" ("Muromachi Shogunate Bugyoshu" 1552), "Ushimamon" ("Sannyaku Inki" 1592), "Ushimato" ("Rokuon Indo no Itsukushima Moudenoki" 1389), "Ushimado" ("Minamoto no Yoritomo Kudashibumi" 1185), etc. There seems to be. Kanji has a meaning, and when I think that I stepped on the ground of Ushimado and guessed the kanji, "the port of the eastern island", "the doorway of the island where the house is located", "while the islands are surrounded on all sides", "Seki" It seems that you can read the land pattern as "a certain doorway". Also, it seems that the famous place name is related to the legend of Empress Jingu. In "Fudoki Itsubun", "Empress Jingu's boat, when he passed the sea in Bizen, there was a big cow, and when he went out to cover the boat, he became Sumiyoshi's Myojin, Old man. With a horn, he threw it down, so he named it Ushimarohi, and now Ushimado is a scorn." The place where a big cow fell was called "Ushimarobi", and it seems that it eventually became "Ushimado". The port of Ushimado has a long history, and it seems that it was a perfect tide-waiting and wind-waiting port for ships traveling in and out of the inland sea. In the Muromachi period, not only a port waiting for the tide, but also a famous wealthy merchant appeared, and it seems that it became a trading port for Korea and Ming. Fukuoka was the central city of Bizen at that time, and from the Kamakura period to the Muromachi period, Fukuoka was the center of military, transportation, and economics in the southern part of Bizen. In the Muromachi period, the port prospered as an inland sea route and a port for foreign trade, but when a castle town was built in Okayama in the Edo period, the economic position of Okayama became Okayama due to the concentration of Fukuoka merchants in Okayama castle. It seems that Ushimado Port was deprived and was waiting for the tide of the inland sea route with the decline of trade between Japan and Japan due to the isolation of the country. Ushimado became the territory of the Okayama clan Ikeda after the battle of Sekigahara from Ukita under the control of Kobayakawa. Since the clan built a one-letter shore in front of the port in Mitsumasa IKEDA in 1695, many ships entered and exited, and after the westbound route was opened, Kitamaebune ships also called at the port. It seems that it became a gathering place for. However, rather than collecting and distributing supplies, it played an important role as a port of call for shogunate officials and daimyo who changed attendance. Above all, it seems that he played an important role in the envoy (communication envoy) from Korea. Even during the isolation of the Edo period, he had a friendly relationship with Korea, so the Joseon Tongsinsa, who came to Korea every time he was a shogun, called at the port 12 times, and the number of people was usually close to 500. The place was Honrenji Temple(The main hall, banjindo, and central gate of the Hokke sect are designated as national important cultural properties, and the three-storied pagoda and soshido are designated as important cultural properties of the prefecture. In addition, the splendid gardens made by Kobori Enshu and many cultural heritage are left behind, and there is a dignity suitable for the famous temple where the Joseon Tongsinsa stayed. In October 2017, "Memory of the Joseon Tongsinsa" was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.)at the beginning, but it seems that a teahouse for entertainment was later applied. The newly reclaimed rice field development by the 3rd feudal lord Mitsumasa will reclaim the eastern inlet (Oura Bay) behind the old townscape to make it a newly reclaimed rice field. It seems that Shioda was also going to make it in the same Oura Bay. A part of Higashimachi was reclaimed during this period. The first construction was completed in 1649, and it seems that a new town was created to connect to the existing townscape. Then, about 10 years later, Okunomachi, embankment, and Dekijima were established in 1649, and Ikuta was created a little later, and the townscape was completed. It seems that ship carpenters were gathered in Higashimachi from new town to the bank. The houses where the ship carpenters lived were lined up on the mountain side of the road, and the beach side was the workplace. The shipbuilding industry by this group of shipbuilders seems to have been the centerpiece of the clan. In the middle of the Edo period, many wealthy merchants, including Naraya of Oshoya, were located from Sekicho to Honcho, that is, along the old town line, and were close to the clan facilities centered on Ochaya. It seems that he was holding. In particular, Naraya, who was a business merchant, moved the center of his business to the mansion diagonally in front of the teahouse after the middle of the Edo period, and established himself as a business merchant. It seems that many merchants will appear in the late Edo period. It seems that it was a merchant house with names such as Kameya, Nakazakiya, Florist, Bichuya, Kajiya, Matsuya, and Wakabaya. The placement of these merchants seems to cover the entire town. Naraya, who has established himself as a merchant, was in the vicinity of the teahouse, which is the center of the town, and other merchants seemed to have settled at a distance from these clan facilities. The area from Sekimachi to Honmachi, which forms the center of the town, was developed before the Edo period, and has a series of strip-shaped land divisions with narrow frontages between 3 and 4. A wealthy merchant like Naraya has bought the adjacent land and expanded the estate, but it seems that the wealthy merchants who appeared from the late Edo period were out of the center of Ushimado. Okayama Prefecture's traditional vegetable "Bizen Kurokawa squash" is a representative variety of Japanese pumpkin, and it seems that (Ushimado Town, Setouchi City) was once famous as a major production area. It is said that this pumpkin saved lives during the wartime and postwar food shortages. However, with the increase in production of western pumpkins, production will cease in Heisei. Omachi Co., Ltd. (Location is Higashisue, Osafune Town, Setouchi City, Okayama Prefecture. This company, which operates "Japan's No. 1 Snack Sales Floor," has been in the 70th year since it started wholesale of confectionery in 1952. It seems that they started a direct sales store in a corner of the warehouse on the premises in January 2011 because of the sense of crisis that they could not future prospects. It was sold mainly at the disposal of manufacturers and wholesalers as a "square", but it seems that the number of customers on weekdays was sparse. Under such circumstances, the store seems to have become a playground for children in the neighborhood and the store manager (president). ) Seems to be working on the revival and popularization of cultivation since the fall of 2014 by collaborating with local producers, restaurants and processors. The Japan Squash and Bizen Black Skin Revival Association has a secretariat in Omachi Co., Ltd. However, he did not give up and continued trial and error. The cultivation area was changed many times in search of proper sunlight and drainage, and the ridges of the fields were raised to allow more moisture to escape. Many ingenuities have been fruitful, and the yield has gradually increased. We also tried to improve the quality by getting another seed that was used for home cultivation from a farmer. It seems that 3 tons can be harvested in 2020 and 5 tons can be harvested in 2021. Pumpkin C. pepo is native to southern North America. In Mexico, it seems to have been excavated from the ruins of B.C.7000-B.C.5500. It seems that he entered England in the 16th century and later advanced to Southern Europe and West Asia.

Vegetable mallows eat young fruits by boiling, steaming or frying. Zucchini (E. courgette) seems to be one of them. Spaghetti squash (toy pumpkin) var. Ovifera is edible. It is not for ornamental use, and there are many changes in the color and shape of the fruit. It seems that this is used for the squash lanterns to be displayed on Halloween. There is a wood carving that seems to be Kintoka Melon. It seems that this is from the Pepo Squash line. Seeds contain abundant omega 3 fatty acids. Pumpkin seeds, full of benign fats and rich in fats, are a surprisingly rich nutritional food, including iron, vitamin K, zinc, phosphorus, manganese, magnesium, and copper in minerals. In addition, vegetable protein can be incorporated into the diet. It also has an abundant antioxidant effect that suppresses the possibility of carcinogenesis, and is expected to have the effect of protecting the body from inflammation and chronic diseases.
