Currently, Kamagaya City has an area of more than 21 km2, but it seems that the original place name “Kamagaya” was a place name that refers to a smaller area. In the records of the Muromachi period, it is said that what was written as “蒲萱” might be “Kamagaya”. Since we do not know which area the original “Kamagaya” refers to, we do not know the exact origin. The etymology is thought to be a kettle-shaped valley sandwiched between plateaus, a valley with a large amount of water springing kama (holes), a valley with a cluster of cattails (kama-gama), a valley with a scooped cliff, etc. Has been done. Since the birth of Kamagaya Village by the merger of the seven villages of Satsuma, Awano, Hatsutomi, Kamagaya, Michinobe, Nakazawa, and Karuizawa Shinden in 1889, and Kushizaki Shinden Hiji, it has not merged with any municipality until now. For this reason, the old village name merged at this time is still used as a large character. Kamagaya is a city with a total area of 21.08 km2 spread over the gentle green land of the Hokuso Plateau in the northwestern part of Chiba Prefecture. The city has a well-developed road network with four railway lines, the Tobu Noda Line (Tobu Urban Park Line), the Shin-Keisei Line, the Hokuso Line, and the Narita Sky Access Line, and is within 25 km of the city center. It has developed as a residential city near the capital. According to the leveling survey conducted in Chiba Prefecture, the altitude of Kamagaya City is about 13 to 28 m, which is higher than the neighboring cities. There is a record that it was not submerged even in the “Holocene glacial retreat” where seawater entered deep into Tokyo Bay about 10,000 to 5,500 years ago, and it has the characteristic that it is hard to be submerged even if the sea level rises due to an earthquake or the like. Enriched child-rearing / education environment: The city is continuing to have zero waiting-list children at the “nursery school” and “after-school children’s club,” and is said to provide detailed support from pregnancy to childbirth and child-rearing. In addition, elementary and junior high schools have a full range of specialized staff and support teachers, all school buildings have been made earthquake-resistant, air conditioners have been installed in all classrooms, and the ICT education environment (tablets) seems to be substantial. “Pear production” has a long history as a production area, and cultivation has been started since the end of the Edo period. As for the sales channels, in addition to shipping to the market from early on, direct sales and courier services are popular, and it is said that the orchards are especially popular as tourist farms from inside and outside the prefecture. Chiba Prefecture’s pears are the number one in Japan in terms of both cultivated area and yield, and city always occupies the top position in the prefecture. In recent years, it seems that it is proceeding with replanting to a new variety “Akizuki Pears”, which is proud of its taste. It was bred by crossing at the Fruit Tree Experiment Station of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and registered as a new variety (No. 19 of Agriculture and Forestry) in 1998. A red pear with a yellow-reddish-brown skin that can be harvested from mid-September to late September by multiplying “Niitaka Pears” and Hosui Pears with Kosui Pears.

The city has put a logo mark and catchphrase on agricultural products produced in Kamagaya to promote the branding of fresh, safe and secure agricultural products. Kamagaya Agricultural Products Branding Logo Mark / Catchphrase: This logo mark expresses freshness, safety, and security with lively agricultural products with the motif of pears and vegetables that represent Kamagaya City. When permitting the use of logo marks and catchphrases, it is said that they meet strict usage standards for pesticides and fertilizers. There are about 150 pear farmers in Kamagaya city, and there are many farmers who sell directly. It is said that the pears at the direct sales office, which are ready to eat and are lined up immediately, are a bit different from those purchased at supermarkets. Also, I heard that varieties that are not suitable for distribution (those that do not last for a long time and are few in number) can only be found at direct sales offices. “Akemizu Pears（Asian pear selected and bred from hybrids obtained by crossing “42-6” (Kumoi Pears x Kosui Pears) to “Shinsui Pears” at the Kanagawa Prefectural Horticultural Experiment Station in 1970）” is a sweet and delicious red pear that can be taken from late July to late August before lantern festival.

The remains of Higashibayashi (Hatsutomi 803, etc.), the remains of the old stone tools (Jidai) surveyed during the construction of Hatsutomi’s fifth junior high school, and one of the oldest ruins found in the city. At that time, at the end of the ice age, the average temperature was 5 to 6 degrees lower than it is now, and it seems that grasslands and coniferous forests were spreading around Kamagaya City. The use of earthenware has not begun, and only stone tools are found. In the investigation of Paleolithic ruins, it is often seen that flakes and chips generated during the production of stone tools and stone tools are concentrated and excavated. The landing point where the relics are concentrated is called a “block”. The main “blocks” have been found in 17 places. It is believed that the Paleolithic era was a mobile life centered on hunting, and the dwelling was like a simple tent, and these “blocks” are one of the few clues that can be used to infer the behavior of people at that time. In addition, these “blocks” erupted the Aira caldera near Kagoshima Bay in Kyushu, which is estimated to have erupted between 25,000 and 29,000 years ago.Since it has been confirmed in the stratum below the Aira-Tn volcanic ash, which is the source, it is presumed that this site was formed before that time. Knife-shaped stone tools that are thought to have been used to cut spear tips and objects. National Historic Site-Shimousa Kogane Nakano Maki Site (Shimousa Kogane Nakano Maki Trace (Tokkome)) Higashinakazawa 2-1: For the Edo Shogunate to meet the demand for war horses , The remains of Nakano Maki, one of Koganemaki, which was set up under direct control. Capture is a facility that drives, captures, and sorts wild horses. Of the captured wild horses, three-year-old horses are trained for riding or sold to the labor force of the local residents rice field. The other horses were released into the field again, but for the year-old horses born this year, a branding iron was stamped on their hips to distinguish them from other pastoral horses rice field. The branding iron was decided for each pasture, and Nakano Maki was a staggered seal. Although the sales and payments of Noma were small, the Shogunate’s income was stable. It was the work of Seiko gathered from the surrounding villages to drive the wild horses here in the annual wild horse catching. The appearance of catching wild horses seemed to be heroic, and it was an important annual event that many spectators visited from Edo. The capture of Nakano Maki is the only existing one in Kogane Maki, and one of the three former sections remains as it is. It was designated as a national historic site on February 6, 2007 because it is important to know the production of war horses that supported the military power of the Edo Edo Shogunate.

In addition to a large amount of earthenware and stone tools as excavated items, special relics such as earthen figures are also found. Many have been excavated. It is believed that clay figurines were used for rituals, and it can be seen that the spiritual life was rich and diverse. Since many animal bones have been found in the shell layer, it can be seen that hunting was actively carried out along with the utilization of marine resources. In stone tools, in addition to the stone tool attached to the tip of the bow and arrow, the stone ax (fu), the stone ax (fu), and the stone (fu) Many stone plates, ground stones, etc. have also been excavated, such as digging up soil, cutting trees (lithic stone ax, ground stone ax), and collecting nuts (stone plate, ground stone).

The ruins were formed from the found relics, mainly in the latter half of the Jomon period (about 4,000 to 3,000 years ago), and from the middle to the late period (about 5,000 to 2,300 years ago). It is presumed to reach. It is a clay figurine excavated from the Nakazawa shell mound.

Akio KIKUCHI, a horticultural scholar from Aomori Prefecture and the first professor of the Kyoto University horticultural science department, who was involved in the mating of many pears, was selected and trained at the Tamagawa Orchard of Tokyo Prefectural Horticultural High School. Among the pears produced in Japan, it is the third most produced variety after Hosui and Kosui. It is one of the largest pears and is characterized by its sweetness with little acidity and its mellow aroma. It is also popular as a gift because of its attractive size. It was said that it was born in the Taisho era by crossing the “Amanokawa Pears” native to Niigata Prefecture and the “Chojuro Pears” from Kanagawa Prefecture. In fact, for a long time since its birth, it seems that it was thought to be a variety that was a combination of “Amanokawa” native to Niigata prefecture and “Imamura Aki Pears” native to Kochi prefecture. In recent years, it is a famous story that attracted attention because of the survey results that it is highly likely that “Chojuro” in Kanagawa Prefecture is the parent instead of “Imamura Aki Pears”. The main feature is that the surface is rugged, but the flesh is white and juicy. The impression is that it is sweet and has a light acidity, and the texture is in good harmony. The taste itself is elegant and the shape is large. Also, because it has a long shelf life, it can be stored in the refrigerator for nearly a month.
