The Mitane Wind Farm has been in operation in Mitane Town since May 2019. It is operated by a wind station three-kind joint venture funded by regional companies centered on JR East Energy Development Co., Ltd., and focuses on wind power generation business that regards wind as an energy resource and is friendly to the global environment. I’m out. The town is located in the northwestern part of Akita Prefecture, and the west side of the town faces the Sea of Japan, which is a suitable place for wind power generation and the wind conditions are stable throughout the year. Seems to be expected as a suitable place for offshore wind power generation. Since the Great East Japan Earthquake, wind power generation has become a clean energy source, including onshore and offshore, amid growing momentum for global warming countermeasures and CO2 reduction, including interest in power supply and the impact on extreme weather in recent years. It is getting more and more attention. Since the adoption of the Paris Agreement at COP21 in 2015, the spread of renewable energy has spread rapidly. Under these circumstances, offshore wind power generation is attracting attention. Power generation by a windmill is to be performed on the sea. Compared to onshore wind power generation, there are fewer restrictions on transportation and installation, so it is possible to increase the size of the equipment, and it seems that it has the feature of being able to efficiently generate a large amount of clean energy. Even in Japan, which is surrounded by the sea on all sides, offshore wind power is seen as a promising source of sustainable energy, and it seems to be said to be a trump for the realization of carbon neutrality in 2050. According to the “Offshore Wind Industry Vision (1st)” formulated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry on December 15, 2020, 10 million kW by 2030 and 30 million to 45 million kW by 2040. It seems that they have set big goals such as setting up the formation of a project. This seems to be the same goal as introducing a new power generation facility that exceeds the amount that can be generated by 30 large thermal power plants. By the way, the size of this offshore wind turbine is increasing day by day, and in the current 8MW class, the blade length is about 80 m (about the same as the total length of a jumbo jet), and the maximum height is about 190 m. In addition, the nacelle hub and towers that serve as pillars seem to weigh more than 400 tons per unit. Therefore, in order to promote the introduction of offshore wind power generation, it has functions such as a quay with a certain load capacity and a hinterland of a scale that can handle long materials and equipment for the installation and maintenance of offshore wind power generation equipment. It seems that a port is indispensable. Wind power generation is a power generation system that converts the kinetic energy of the wind into rotational energy by a wind turbine and transmits the rotation directly or after passing through a speed increaser to a generator to convert it into electrical energy. The tower was installed on top of the foundation work, and the nacelle and blades were assembled on the tower. A speed increaser, a generator, a brake device, a rotor shaft, a generator shaft, an inverter, a transformer, etc. are housed in the nacelle hub, and the blade seems to be connected to the rotor shaft by the hub. In December 2021, based on the Act on Promotion of Utilization of Marine Areas Related to the Development of Marine Renewable Energy Power Generation Facilities, offshore wind power generation projects will be implemented in “Noshiro City, Akita Prefecture, Mitane Town and Oshika City Offshore” designated as promotion areas. The operator has been selected as a consortium of Mitsubishi Corporation Energy Solutions Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi Corporation, and Seatech Co., Ltd. (Sugumo Town, Mizuho Ward, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture). Ministry of the Environment of Japan / Announced on 2021.11.18. Minister of the Environment’s opinion on “(tentative name) Hachimine Town, Akita Prefecture and Offshore Wind Power Business Planning Stage Environmental Consideration Book” (Tokyo Electric Power Renewable Power Co., Ltd.) (Tsuyoshi Yamaguchi (29th and 30th generations) selected from Hyogo 12th District) , A member of the House of Representatives belonging to the Liberal Democratic Party (7th term)) has been submitted to the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry. This project will install a wind power plant with a maximum output of 396,000 kW off the coast of Noshiro City, Akita Prefecture and Happo Town, Yamamoto District. In the opinion of the Minister of the Environment at that time, there are multiple residences, welfare facilities, and other facilities that require special consideration for environmental conservation around the assumed area, so the impact on the living environment due to the shadow of the wind turbine during operation. It was requested to avoid or reduce as much as possible, and to avoid or reduce as much as possible the influence on birds due to collision accidents with wind power generation facilities and obstruction of movement. “Mitane Town, Yamamoto District, Akita Prefecture”, The town was born on March 20, 2006 by merging the three towns of Kotooka, Yamamoto, and Hachiryu. The name comes from the Mitane River, which flows through the former Mitane Town. The Mitane River, which originates from the three species of “longevity seeds,” “fortune seeds,” and “comfort seeds,” originated from Mt. Boju in the former Kotooka town, crossed the former Yamamoto town, and crossed the former Hachiryu town. Pour into Lake Hachiro. As the aorta of this area, it is deeply involved in life and agriculture. It is said that the wish is put in so that the former Mitane can have a sense of unity like the Mitane River, and that the former Mitane can share wisdom and create a vibrant town. The town created by the merger of Kotooka Town, Yamamoto Town, and Hachiryu Town is located in the northwestern part of Akita Prefecture, with Kamikoani Village in the east, Oga City, Ogata Village, Hachirogata Town, Gojome Town, and West in the south. Is bordered by the Sea of Japan and the north is bordered by Noshiro City. The east-west is about 25 km, the north-south is about 20 km, and the Mitane River, which originates from Mt. Boju, flows almost in the center and flows into Hachiro Lake. It has become. The climate has clear changes in the four seasons, and the average annual temperature is around 10 ° C due to the influence of the Tsushima Warm Current, but in winter it is cold and a strong monsoon blows to the northwest, which is peculiar to the Sea of Japan side. The number of snowfall days is 40 to 50 days, and the snowfall is 10 to 50 cm in the plains and 100 cm or more in the mountains. The town is widely known as the “Water shield; 蓴菜” town. Water shield is a perennial plant of the water lily family that grows naturally in swamps and ponds, and grows long from the rhizome in the mud on the bottom of the water. In summer, it tends to spread floating leaves on the surface of the water like lotus leaves. It was once observed all over Japan, but it is now extinct in 4 prefectures and extinct or near-threatened in 22 prefectures due to the natural ponds and marshes that grow in it, the abolition of old ponds, and water pollution: (IUCN Red List Ver.3.1 (2001)). The harvest season is about four months from May to August, and the peak season is June and July. Since 90% or more of the ingredients are water and can only live in pure water, it reacts sensitively to water pollution, high temperature damage, weed growth, pesticides, etc. It is a very delicate plant that can easily die if it is cultivated in the wrong way. It is well known that it is also attracting attention as a healthy food because it is rich in polyphenols and dietary fiber and has low calories. Mainly young leaves with agar-like transparent mucilage called slime are edible. It contains a lot of acidic polysaccharides, and if photosynthesis is active, it is secreted smoothly, and the more slimy it is, the better the quality. Although the taste is light, it is characterized by its smooth throat and texture, and has been prized as a high-class ingredient because it goes well with any dish. Japanese style clear soup and vinegared dishes are standard, but it seems that hot watershield hot pots are popular even in the summer. In addition, tempura and shabu-shabu the hot pot are also attracting attention as new ways to eat. Every year from May to August, a water shield picking experience is held, and there are many visitors from both inside and outside the prefecture, and it is crowded with many tourists every year. In the inner town, I got the impression that it was not a large economic cluster, including the former Hachiryu Town, but a collection of villages. Villages that live in the fishing industry are scattered around Hachirogata, and it seems that the Ukawa and Hamaguchi districts were relatively developed in Hachiryu Town, and the former Hachiryu Town Hall is also between the two villages. However, there is no place that can be called a shopping district in both districts, and it seems that several stores are gathered together. Each village seems to have its own culture, especially in the Hamada area, where events such as “lion dance” and “dondoyaki” remain. In addition, Hachiryu is one of the legendary stages of Hachirotaro, and it seems that the Shinto ritual of begging for rain was held until the early Showa period. Oyama family residence (nationally designated important cultural property) : It is a farmhouse built at the end of the Edo period. Since the Oyama family played the role of a village for generations, they have adopted a construction method that supports the roof by extending the arm from the girder of the boat, which was only allowed for upper-class houses, to the eaves. We use a construction method that increases the durability of the roof by growing wild turf naturally in the roof ridge, which is rare in Akita and the grid that can be seen in ordinary merchant’s house architecture. Overall, the typical stable gate making seen in Akita. The design is very simple, and the refined beauty stands out more than the strength found in farm architecture. Yamamoto Hometown Cultural Center : Throughout the year, various special exhibitions, exhibitions and presentations are held. Baku Ishii Memorial Hall : In this hall inside the building, there is a memorial hall of a world-famous creative dancer, where vague works, lifelong panels, and relics are exhibited. Originally from Shimoiwakawanagaomote, formerly Yamamoto Town, he was the founder of contemporary Japanese dance and called himself “Odorubaka”. He is the recipient of the first Medal with Purple Ribbon and the godfather of Jiyugaoka in Meguro Ward, Tokyo. Actresses Mrs. Tetsuko Kuroyanagi and Mrs. Tomoko Matsushima are disciples of Mr. Baku. Patchwork stage curtain : 2002 marks the 40th anniversary of the enforcement of the town system of the former Yamamoto Town and the 50th anniversary of the spring of Moritake hot spring, and was produced by volunteers of the townspeople for this anniversary. Handmade one by one by a total of 2,300 people for about a year. The huge quilt, 6.675 m long and 13.5 m wide, has the old Yamamoto Town tree “sugi” and flowers “sakura”. Mt. Ishikura and the cityscape in the morning sun, water shield and lotus flowers, caricatures of children who entered elementary school this year, etc. are included, and we hope that nature and humans will be in harmony and that the harmony of people will spread in a big circle. Has been done. It has received high praise from inside and outside the town. Jomon House : Since ancient times in the Jomon period, many people have started living in the Kotooka area and left behind many relics. Among them, the Jomon period clay flute found at the Takaishino site is considered to be a very rare and academically valuable discovery. The relics left by these leaders are exhibited by various methods. There is a permanent exhibition corner for relics such as the earthen flute excavated from the Takaishino site, a diorama of life in the Jomon period, and a time slip room. Mitane house : A private house built in the early Meiji era in the form of a central gate that was relocated and restored from the former Kinichiro’s Hatakeyama house in the Iritori, Kotooka area. The dirt floor called Niwa Doma is a space that is particularly large in snowy countries and has versatile functions such as work, breeding, and storage. The floor plan, which has a relatively large customer service area such as a tatami room, is a major feature that has been handed down to the request of a private house in the early modern period, reflecting the tendency to value social rituals. 秋田県埋蔵文化財センター（大仙市払田字牛嶋）2006 “遺跡詳細分布調査報告書” 秋田県文化財調査報告書413 : 鹿渡嘉1遺跡（三種町上岩川字鹿渡）: 試掘 / 砂金掘り. 鹿渡運営2（三種町上岩川字鹿渡）: 試掘 / 砂金掘り, 縄文時代, 土坑8, 遺構1, 剥片, 石核, 原石選択 / 石器製作. 名樋向1荒（三種町上岩川字樋向）: 試掘 / 砂金掘り, 縄文時代, 土坑10, 剥片. 樋向2荒（三種町上岩川字樋向）: 試掘/ 砂金掘り, 縄文時代, 土坑4, 石器, 石核. 樋向3荒（三種町上岩川字樋向）: 試掘 / 砂金掘り, 縄文時代, 土器埋記遺構1, 土坑5, 縄文土器, 石核, 剥片. 大沢1遺跡（三種町上岩川字大沢）: 試掘 / 砂金掘り, 縄文時代, 土坑1, 焼土遺構3, 剥片. 大沢2遺跡（三種町上岩川字大沢）: 試掘 / 砂金掘り, 縄文時代, 土坑4, 焼土遺構1, 剥片, 集落, 平, 土坑6, 波2, 焼土遺構2, かまど遺構1, 柱穴様ピット25, 土師器, 須恵器. “Happo Town”, The town created by the merger of Hachimori Town and Minehama Village is located in the northwestern part of the prefecture. Fujisato Town is the only prefecture in the east that has a registered site of the world natural heritage “Shirakami Mountains”, Noshiro City in the south, the Sea of Japan in the west, and Aomori Prefecture in the north. The east-west is about 19 km, the north-south is about 24 km, and the area is 234.14 km2. Nearly 80% of the area is occupied by forests. Agricultural land is about 10%, most of which is in the Minehama area. The vast forest of the town is part of the Shirakami Mountains, and there is also an area designated as Akita Shirakami Prefectural Natural Park. The undulating coast of the Hachimori area is also designated as the Hachimori Iwadate Prefectural Natural Park. It can be said that Happo Town is characterized by its rich nature, which has two prefectural natural parks. As for transportation, the JR Gono Line and National Highway No. 101 run parallel to the Sea of Japan and cross north and south. Both are important routes connecting neighboring cities, towns and villages. The climate has clear changes in the four seasons, and the average annual temperature is around 10 ° C. In winter, the low temperature blows a strong northwest monsoon peculiar to the Sea of Japan side, and the snowfall is 10 to 50 cm in the plains and 100 cm or more in the mountains. Agriculture such as shiitake mushrooms, cultivation of crude drugs, and fishing for landing sandfish and squid that appear in the folk song “Akita marching songs” are flourishing. Recently, it seems that they are focusing on ICT; Information and Communication Technology education using electronic blackboards and tablet terminals. Hachimori, a historic place. The origin of the name is said to be from eight mountains. It was also a beautiful village that visitors from the sea called “Tsubaki no Sato”. The pure water of the Shirakami Mountains, a World Natural Heritage Site, has nurtured abundant life, and the sea road and the village road, Hachimori Kaido, have supported people’s lives. It is said that mines have prospered since the Muromachi period and boasted the highest production in Japan during the Meiji period. The village of Tehaizaka, which retains the remnants of the Edo period, the main building torch festival that lasts for about 400 years, and the Shirataki Shrine Mikoshi no Takiabi, all retain the various activities of the people who live in this area. Arctoscopus japonicus, which begins to be caught when the thunder that heralds winter roars, seems to have been named after the ancient name of the god of thunder, “Hatatakami.” People’s activities are reflected in the taste of the local area, and it is still alive. Happo Shirakami Geopark: A place where you can get familiar with Geo (Earth), learn about Geo, and enjoy geotourism. It is a place where you can take a closer look at mountains and rivers, notice their origins and mechanisms, and think about their relationship with ecosystems and human life. From the rocks under the ground to the universe, from the past to the future of billions of years, a place to think about mountains, rivers, the sea, the atmosphere and the creatures that live there, that is, the whole earth. Surrounded by the vast blue Sea of Japan and the Shirakami Mountains, a world natural heritage, the town is rich in nature and has the theme of “living in the blessings of the Shirakami Mountains.” You can see the changes in the earth from before the formation of the Sea of Japan to the present, and the history and culture of people who have lived with various benefits from the Shirakami Mountains and the Sea of Japan from the coast to the mountains. Be able to. The entire area of Happo Town is the area of Happo Shirakami Geopark, and there are 20 geosites such as the coastal area, the Shirakami Mountains, and Satoyama. Here, you can overlook the pristine beech forest registered as a World Natural Heritage site, and you can experience a geo-story that is not found in other Geoparks. Seed soybean inspection: Inspector conducted inspection on March 11, 2019. Natural monument Geological minerals / Tohoku: Camellia; 椿 coast columnar joint group（八森字椿）: There are no plants throughout the Tsubaki Coastal Columnar Joint Group, and lava flows can be observed at any site on the surface of the earth or on the surface of the sea, making it a good research target for volcanologists and students-Happo Town, Designated Date: 2012, 1108. Doi Ruins: Happo Town, Yamamoto District (formerly Hachimori Town) Paleolithic, Heian period: Remains of pit-house dwellings, earthen burial mounds, Haji pottery, and Sue pottery have been discovered. Squash is derived from the country name Cambodia.From 1532 to 1955, the Portuguese introduced it to Japan as a product of Cambodia. “KURI-YUTAKA Squash”, A large-sized variety with stable fruit set and high yield of strong powder, black-skinned chestnut seeds mainstream in the Japanese market. The fruits are large balls weighing about 1.8 to 2.0 kg, and the balls are particularly well aligned. It is a little dark green and has a high waist and a round shape. The meat is very mixed and has a strong sweetness, which is popular with children. The grass is a little strong and the vines tend to be a little big. The petioles are strong, the leaves are less likely to break and fall, and they are strong against the wind. In addition, the incidence of powdery mildew（うどんこ病 ≒ Filamentous fungi; 糸状菌）is low. Female flower epiphytes are about the same as conventional varieties. Fruit set is very good and the yield tends to be high.Wide range of cropping, greenhouse, tunnel, open field cultivation: Also suitable for seasonal extension, multi-faceted. Pumpkin vines can grow up to 15 cm a day, so attract them early. When the vines grow 15 to 20 cm, leave two good vines. (In the case of double tailoring) Remove the side branches up to the fruit setting position early to enrich the ovary of female flowers. Be sure to leave the male flowers at the root of the plant, and remove the side branches of the fruit-bearing node as they can cause vine wounds. Regarding the fruit-bearing node position, the fruit is usually set in the 12th to 13th sections, but it is ideal for Kuriyutaka to set the fruit in the 10th to 12th sections. (70 cm from the vine). Mating should be done early in the morning. Honey Bee mating is recommended for labor saving (in cloudy weather, bees do not fly, so artificial mating is required). Be careful when using pesticides to avoid killing visiting insects. The harvest days for chestnuts are generally around 50 days after mating. If the fruit is unripe, the powderiness will decrease, leading to a decrease in storability and taste. “See from Mikado Kyowa Co., Ltd”.
