【主な特徴】
Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture is famous for producing Dharma, which is the largest in Japan. Toys and lucky charms made by the founder of Zen Buddhism, Bodhidharma Daishi, in a meditation style. Dharma is a traditional handicraft with a history of more than 200 years, usually made of papier-mâché, painted red, heavy on the bottom, and wakes up immediately after being knocked down. It is the most populous place in Gunma prefecture and is also known as the birthplace of Eastern culture. Watanuki Kannonyama Ancient Tomb (designated as a national treasure in 2020: At Watanuki in the southeastern part of Takasaki City, there is a 100-meter-long tomb called Kannonyama Ancient Tomb. It seems that it was built in the latter half of the 6th century, more than 1,400 years ago. It is the tomb of the person who ruled the area centered on Takasaki City today), the clay image that Gunma Prefecture is proud of, and the remains related to the eruption of Mt. Haruna. In addition, excavations are still being carried out around the Tako monument, and there are many historical heritage sites such as the Kozuke Sanmon monument and Kannonyama, as well as abundant shrines and temples such as Haruna Shrine and Obaku Shaolin Mountain Dharma Temple. Furthermore, because it is one of the leading wheat producing areas in Japan, noodle dishes such as pasta, ramen noodles, and japanese wheat noodles are also gaining popularity as local gourmet foods.
Takasaki’s “Fruit Highway” runs from Kamisatomi intersection on Route 406 to Shimosatomi intersection, and there are more than 60 direct sales offices and tourist farms in the surrounding area. Satomi Shrine (Shimosatomi Suwayama Kofun) enters Haruna Town as soon as you head northwest on National Highway 406 (Kudamono Kaido) on the right bank of the valley created by Karasu River from Takasaki City. They are lined up in the order of Shimosatomi, Nakasatomi, and Kamisatomi from the lower reaches of the river. Originally called Suwa-sha, it was a place where Suwa Myojin was enshrined, and this place is still called Suwayama. It is said that in 1910, four shrines in the Shimosatomi area were enshrined and changed to the current shrine name. This Suwa Myojin is said to have been enshrined when Satomi Township came under the control of Takeda at the end of the Warring States period, but before that, Yoshitoshi SATOMI, the ancestor of Satomi, was the god of Genji. The place where Hachiman God was enshrined. In other words, it seems that this is a shrine related to Mr. Satomi. It is said that Yoshitoshi, the ancestor of Mr. Satomi, worshiped Hachiman God as the shrine of Genji in the olden days. Each company in the Shimosatomi area is enshrined, and the shrine becomes a village shrine and becomes a Satomi shrine. It seems that Satomi Castle, which was built by Yoshinari SATOMI of the Nitta clan, was adjacent to a small mountain in the south. If you look at the Satomi Castle Ruins from the precincts of this shrine toward the small mountain on the south side of the small valley, you will find a commentary board for the Satomi Castle Ruins. This mountain in front is the ruins of a castle during the Warring States period, and it is said that Kawachi SATOMI was the lord of the castle between 1558 and 1570. Two large Guo were lined up on the mountain, and a moat was cut between them, and the two Guo were connected by a clay bridge. The west side of the palace was the main palace, which was constructed in a square shape to surround the doi, and there were several small waist folds around the two palace. The north side of the mountain becomes a cliff facing the small stream of the Satomi River, and the ridge leading to the west is cut by deep digging. The Satomi Township runs from Higashiyama-do to Kusatsu, and if you head south on the same hill from the site of Satomi Castle, you can reach the key point of Tosando, Itahana-no-inn (Annaka City). During the Eiroku period of the Warring States period, this area of Kozuke was in the sphere of influence of Kenshin UESUGI, and Kawachi belonged to Narimasa NAGANO in Minowa Castle (Misato Town). Mr. Nagano was destroyed by Shingen, who advanced to Kozuke in 1566, and Kawachi is said to have fallen at that time. The existence of Kawachi tells us that there was a Satomi clan who continued to live in this Satomi village from the Kamakura period to the Warring States period. The site of Satomi Castle is locally called Furujo, and it is said that it existed before it was used as a castle during the Warring States period, and it is said that it was the first castle built by Yoshitoshi. At the top of the mountain is the “Satomi Ancient Castle Monument” that describes this. It was built in 1879 by Mr. Mitonosuke SATOMI, a local historian of Shimosatomi, and was written by Major General Mr. Takeo OZAWA, who was inspired by Mr. Satomi. It conveys the state of the award. In the Joshu Satomi Township, Mr. Boso Satomi is known as the warring lord representing Awa. However, it is a clear fact that he was not a samurai of Abo from the beginning. Its Hometown is in Kozuke, now Gunma Prefecture. Harunayama is famous for Ikaho hot spring, and Haruna Town is known for its Haruna Shrine at the southern foot of the mountain. There is a land called Satomi there. To be exact, it is the area of Kamisatomi, Nakasatomi, and Shimosatomi in former Haruna Town, Gunma District, Gunma Prefecture. In the olden days, it was called Satomi Township, Usui District, Kozuke. It is said that the place name Satomi became the beginning of Mr. Satomi’s surname, which spreads all over the country. Its ancestor Yoshitoshi-Ko was a person from the end of the Heian period to the beginning of the Kamakura period. Boso Satomi’s ancestors have long been based in this Satomi Township. And even though the Satomi clan spread all over the country, there was also Mr. Satomi who took root and prospered in this land. When I went to Harunamachi, it seems that historical sites related to Mr. Satomi from the Kamakura period to the Warring States period are still scattered. Satomi is often thought of as having roots in Minamiboso (Chiba Prefecture) due to the influence of Mr. Bakin TAKIZAWA (whose teacher is Mr. Kyoden SANTO)’s “Nanso Satomi Hakkenden（This is a feature-length novel written by Takizawa Bakin, a literary master of the Edo period, over 28 years. The theme is the history of Mr. Satomi Boso, who used the land of Awa as a base for his activities during the Warring States period, but he never stuck to historical facts, and all of them were newly created. It was in 1842 that all 106 books were published after the first five books were published in 1814. The theme of the story is “Poetic Justice / Causal Retribution”. It is an exhilarating acrobatics that takes up the good people of the Awa region, including Mr. Satomi, who has reached the end of the tragedy, and makes a big success at Bakin’s will. The story begins with a scene in which Yoshizane SATOMI, a young warrior who lost the battle of Yuki, falls to Awa. Yoshizane, who eventually became the lord of Takita in Awa Province, was attacked by Kagetsura ANZAI, the lord of Tateyama Castle in the neighboring country. Although the enemy Shokeiren was defeated by the work of his dog, Yatsufusa stayed in the cave of Toyama with Fusehime for his achievements. Daisuke Kanamari, a married woman who came to regain the princess, shoots and kills Yatsufusa with a gun, but also injures Fushihime. The princess, who had become pregnant because of her feelings of Yatsufusa, was suicide while Daisuke and her father Yoshizane watched over to prove her innocence.）” and NHK’s “New Hakkenden（A puppet show broadcast on NHK General TV from April 2, 1973 to March 28, 1975, with a total of 464 episodes.）”. Mr. Satomi’s roots are in Satomi Town, Takasaki City (formerly Satomi, Haruna Town, Gunma District), and it is said that about 15 “Mr. Satomi” still connect the history. It is said that the former Haruna townspeople and the citizens of Tateyama, Chiba Prefecture have a lot of exchanges with each other. At Komyoji Temple, take the national highway a little and enter Nakasatomi, where you will find a guide indicating the entrance to the temple. The gate sign says Satomiyama Amidain of the Tendai sect. It is a temple built along the old road from Tosando to Mt. Haruna. It seems that there used to be a tomb of Yoshitoshi-Ko. In the precincts, there is a memorial tower for the Satomi clan and ancestors built by the Satomi clan, including Awa Enmeiji Temple (Miyoshi Village, Chiba Prefecture) in 1940. Sen no Rikyu, a tea master who is said to have followed the flow of Mr. Satomi, is also said to be offering a memorial service here. The land called Horiuchi is adjacent to the east side, and it is said that Yoshitoshi set up the building. “Horinouchi” is a building site that was surrounded by the samurai who developed the land from the latter half of the Heian period to the Kamakura period around the moat for water management. I heard that the place where there was a samurai house site, which is the center of development land management, is still often called by the place name “Horinouchi”. In general, in addition to the main building, there were gates, tosamurai, stables, turrets, warehouses, hawk shops, etc. It seems that the ruins of the mansion may later become a family temple because of the existence of this Buddhist temple. And here in Nakasatomibori, there are still several houses that give their surnames. In the temple grounds, there is also a memorial monument called “Nitta Kouki Hometown Monument” built in 1890 by local historian Mitonsuke SATOMI, who is involved in the history of Mr. Satomi. This is because Yoshisada NITTA-Ko, a folklore of the Southern Court who defeated the Kamakura Shogunate (the date of birth and the name of his mother are unknown in the historical general theory of Nitta researchers) is from Mr. Satomi. It is a well-known tradition in the local area. Yoshisada is the fifth generation of Tadayoshi-Ko from Yoshitoshi-Ko and is said to be Kogoro SATOMI-Ko. It is reported that his clan’s territory, Tomouji NITTA, was adopted because he had no children and was renamed Kotaro Yoshisada-Ko. Apart from folklore, there is a place named “Kogoro Gaito” to the east of Satomi Castle in Shimosatomi, and it is said that there was Kogoro Satomi’s mansion. Apart from folklore, there is a place named “Kogoro Gaito” to the east of Satomi Castle in Shimosatomi, and it is said that there was Kogoro Satomi’s mansion. At the foot of Mt. Tenjin, to the south of Satomi Castle, there is a spring called “Doctor is Kiyomizu,” which Kogoro used to produce hot water, both of which are said to be legendary of Yoshisada NITTA. Former Haruna Town was born on April 1, 1889, with the enforcement of the municipal system, Muroda Village, Nishigunma District, Kuruma Village, and Satomi Village, Usui District. On April 1, 1896, Nishigunma District became Gunma District. On April 1, 1905, Muroda Village enforced the town system and became Muroda Town. On February 1, 1955, Muroda Town and Satomi Village, Usui District merged to form Haruna Town, Gunma District. On March 1, 1955, Kuruma Village, Gunma District was incorporated. On October 6, 1974, the hillside slope collapsed in Shimosatomi. Two private houses were completely destroyed. On the slope, there is a water pipe for a simple water supply in the area and a water pipe for the Takasaki Waterworks Bureau, and unidentified spring water was confirmed from a month ago. Transferred to Takasaki City on October 1, 2006. The Haruna district of Takasaki City is an area rich in various fruits. I want to eat again! I want to buy it again! Gunma brand From valuable “things” : Aiming for branding of agricultural and livestock products: The value of agricultural and livestock products produced in the prefecture will be recognized by consumers and become the agricultural and livestock products of choice, the sales channels of producers will be stable, and agriculture will grow significantly as an attractive industry. That, many of the prefecture’s agricultural and livestock products are recognized as brands by consumers, which leads to an improvement in the image of this prefecture. To lead to the establishment of the prefecture and the revitalization of the production area, to foster the attachment of the citizens of the prefecture to agricultural and livestock products, and to realize the healthy and prosperous life of the citizens of the prefecture. You can enjoy peaches from mid-July to late August, plums from late July to mid-September, and pears from mid-August to late November. You can meet delicious seasonal fruits. “Sun Plum; 太陽李” is a variety discovered in Yamanashi prefecture about 50 years ago. The oval fruit is as large as 100-150 g per ball, and the fruit is stored, giving the impression that it is more like a small peach than a plum. Furthermore, the sugar content is very high, around 11 to 13 degrees, and since it is a variety with little acidity, you can enjoy a mellow and rich taste. One of the characteristics is that the pericarp has a deep red color that makes it look black. It is so chewy that the juice drips when you bite the whole skin. Due to the dark color of the pericarp, uneven bloom is easily noticeable, and it is known as a fruit that is very difficult to handle. “Prunes; plums” themselves are rich in natural fibers, malic acid and sorbitol. It is also widely known by pioneers and workers that it has top-class antioxidant activity among fruits. The following components (elements and pure substances that make up compounds, mixtures, etc.) maintain the water content of meat, suppress the growth of various pathogenic bacteria that occur, enhance the taste, and oxidize lipids in processed meat products. It has also been confirmed that it works to suppress fat burning. How adults who continue to eat high in “prune; li”, Bifidobacterium: Bifidobacteria (bacteria that help promote health), Prebiotics: Prebiotics (ingredients that promote growth from the activity of good bacteria in the intestine) Has the effect of increasing bifidobacteria), and research cases have been reported to clarify whether it grows. Plums that have been cultivated in Europe for a long time are called P. dometica L. (English name garden (European) plum), and the cultivar “Domestica plum” for dried fruits is called prunes. In Japan, all varieties for dried fruits are called prunes.

In Japan, all varieties for dried fruits are called prunes.
The “sun” of plums is a specialty of Yamanashi prefecture. The fruits are large and the dark crimson appearance is beautiful with bloom. It seems to be known as a luxury item. The flesh is a little hard, but like plums, it has a lot of juice and is excellent in storage stability. It has less acidity and you can enjoy a sweet and juicy flavor. Distributed from mid-August to mid-September. As the name suggests, it has a distinctive appearance and flavor like the sun. In addition, the plums in the Haruna area are cultivated using honeybees and pheromone agents and using the pesticide reduction method, so they are highly safe and have been certified as a G brand by Gunma Prefecture.
Sun plums are the second most produced variety in Japan after Wase Oishi plums and Soldam plums. It is said that it was first discovered in Yamanashi Prefecture around 1969, but its detailed history has not yet been clarified. Since it was named Sun and has been on the market, it has become more and more popular and is now gaining popularity as a higher-grade plum. The impression is that sweetness is stronger than sourness. The acidity of this excellent fruit is relatively gentle, so even people who are not good at the acidity peculiar to plums can eat it deliciously.
Sun plums seem to match pollinated trees with “cocheko plums”. This excellent fruit native to the United States is a rich variety of 70-80 g per fruit. It seems to be suitable for pollinated trees of other varieties. The leaves turn red in autumn, and they are beautiful and can be enjoyed as an ornamental tree. It belongs to the Rosaceae family, and the harvest season is early July. In addition, it seems that the standard of harvest from planting is 3 to 4 years. There is also self-fruiting, and it seems to be abundant.
