JA Shin Hakodate held the 20th Ordinary General Assembly at the City General Cultural Center Kanaderu on April 13, 2022, and merged with JA Kitahiyama (Setana Town, Kudo District) on February 1, 2023. The bill to be submitted is accepted as originally proposed. On the same day, JA Kitahiyama also held a regular general meeting and seems to have approved the merger. I heard that the JA merger in Southern Hokkaido is the first since the current JA Shin-Hakodate, which was launched by the merger of 13JA in February 2002. The surviving union will be JA Shin Hakodate, and the head office will remain the same in Hokuto City. JA plans to reform the structure in conjunction with the merger. As the amount of vegetables sold nationwide has been favorable, the supply-demand balance has been disrupted and the market is in a difficult situation. The sales transaction amount was about 29 billion yen, and unfortunately it seems that it did not reach 30 billion yen for 7 consecutive years. In addition, regarding the merger with JA Kitahiyama, the current union leader said, “By making the range of Setana Town the same as the area of JA, the cooperation between the administration and JA will be further deepened and regional agriculture will be activated. We will strengthen the JA base and protect local farming and livelihoods in the future.” A town filled with one of the best “delicious” in Hokkaido. Mori Town is a city of food. Surrounded by Mt. Komagatake and Uchiura Bay, there are many abundant seafood and mountain food. Known as a cultural and historical exchange point from ancient times, the stone circle of the Jomon era, which is one of the largest in Japan, and the place where Takeaki Enomoto and Toshizo Hijikata landed at the end of the Edo period and during the Battle of Hakodate, was the cornerstone of Hokkaido development. There are many valuable historical sites such as the site of the sea road pier, and more than 1,000 cherry blossoms are in full bloom as a famous place for cherry blossoms, so you can feel the food, cherry blossoms, and history up close. The reason why the hometown tax payment became a boom is that the tax system revision in 2015 raised the maximum deduction amount from 10% to 20% of the personal residence tax income percent, and the market size doubled. Since the total amount of personal residence tax is about 12 trillion yen, 2.4 trillion yen is set as the ceiling of the market. Mori Town, which has long been called Oniushi (a place with many trees) in the Ainu language, is known as a fishing ground and has been a place where fishermen around Hakodate came to work in search of herring and other fish since the early Edo period. is. In 1738, Washinoki became the main village and a village was formed. In 1800, the population of six places in Hakodate gradually increased, so the Shogunate decided that this was Wajinchi, abolished the place system, and allowed the independence of each village. In 1858, the Shogunate promoted the central village of six places in Hakodate to “village”, so Washinoki became officially Washinoki Village for the first time. Independence was permitted, and Mori Village and Oshironai Village were established in December of the same year. In the Meiji era, when the pioneer messenger was set up in Hokkaido, the local branch office was set up in Morimura. In 1880, the Washinoki Village Kocho Office, which controls the three villages of Washinoki, Oshironai, and Ishikura, opened, and in 1881, the Outside the village Two Village Tocho Office, which controls the three villages of Mori, Oshironai, and Shukunobe, opened. In the same year, the two government offices merged to form the five villages of Outside the village, and the six villages now have one office. In 1902, these six villages merged to form Mori Village, and in 1907, the first-class town and village system was enforced, and in 1921, the fourth town system in the jurisdiction was enforced and “Morimachi” was born. Even in the Showa era, the development of each industry centered on the fishing industry continued. In 1961, most of the city area was burned down by the Morimachi Great Fire, but the city planning development, Komagatake mountain foot development project, and Nigorikawa River geothermal development continued to make steady progress, and the 3rd Morimachi Comprehensive Development Promotion Plan started in 1998. The town was closed in April of the year after the merger with Sawara Town. In Sawara; Sarakiushi Town, which faces the eruption bay, a sea that carries abundant happiness, kelp was collected in the 1330s, and Japanese people began to visit through herring in the 1500s. It is reported that Shiro moved and opened the village and formed a village. In the Meiji era, the number of fishermen increased with the abolition of the place contract system, and the Sawara Village Kocho Office was established in 1880 as the number of settlers increased. In April 1906, due to the merger of two villages, Sawara Village and Kakarima Village, the second-class town and village system was enforced in Sawara Village, and a new history began. In the Showa period, Komagatake erupted in 1929, and the damage caused by pumice flow and ash fall was minor, but in 1931, heavy rain caused debris flow in houses, roads, railways, etc. Caused damage. The ash fall on the eruption bay filled the kelp reef, and the impact of seawater pollution on the fishing industry seems to have left a great deal of damage to Sawara Town, whose core industry is fishing. Nevertheless, people were strongly supported by nationwide relief activities under deep love for their hometown, and were able to stand up from the disaster. In 1970, Sawara Village, which showed remarkable development, entered a new era and the town administration was enforced. With the enforcement of the town system, the new government office building was completed. We are steadily promoting town development through the development of elementary and junior high schools, public housing and fishery processing complexes. In the era of modernization in the Heisei era, it seems that Sunahara has been working on town planning for a comfortable and comfortable life. In 1992, the “Flower-filled Campaign” started by the Sawara Town Town Development Promotion Council, and the third Sawara Town Comprehensive Plan started in 2001, and closed in April 2005 when it merged with Mori Town. Based on the history cultivated through the many efforts and efforts of both towns, we are trying to make a big leap toward becoming a “Lively and refreshing Town” that values heart and contact. Morimachi, which is located around Uchiura Bay and Hidemine Komagatake in southern Hokkaido, has agriculture, fisheries, and fish processing as its core industries. It is known as a warm town with little snowfall, with an average annual temperature of 7-8 ° C, which rarely exceeds 30 ° C even in midsummer and rarely drops to -15 ° C even in midwinter. The volcanic ash land that spreads out at the foot of Mt. Komagatake has been reborn as a fruitful land by land improvement, and is blessed with a warm climate and nature, and it is famous that it has become established as a major supply of winter vegetables in Hokkaido. In particular, squash is a special product, and the cultivar “Miyako squash”, which has a good reputation for both taste and quality, has a chestnut-like texture and high sugar content, and is shipped to the Tokyo metropolitan area. Cultivated varieties such as Miyako squash, Kuri Shogun,squash and Kuririn squash. In the Nigorigawa area, where the geothermal power plant is located, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. are cultivated in a house using hot spring geothermal water throughout the year, playing a role in supplying winter vegetables with stable quality and harvest. In addition, it also produces rice and healthy fruit trees such as prunes, flowers, and buckwheat tea, and produces and processes a large number of products. The specialty melon Rupia Red melon is made in various parts of Hokkaido, and has a “regional brand” in every production area. It is called as a general term for high-quality melons, and Mori Town’s “Rupia Red melon” accounts for most of the melons produced in Southern Hokkaido. Is produced on the abundant plateau of Mt. Komagatake. Rupier Red melonis a net-type melon with a beautiful fine mesh on the surface, the skin is thin and the flesh is orange and thick, the flesh is high in sugar content and very juicy, and the flesh is firm and chewy before ripening. However, when it ripens, it becomes soft enough to loosen in the mouth. JA Shin-Hakodate has both red meat and blue meat melons planted in the jurisdiction. Among them, the red meat brand melon “Saburi Melon”, which has cleared strict standards such as sugar content and shape of 15 degrees or more and net tension, is an excellent dish. Of the “Rupia Red melon” from Morimachi, which accounts for most of the melons from Southern Hokkaido, and the “Red 113” from Assabu Town, JA has a sweetness of 15 degrees or more in sugar content and a beautiful stitch weighing 1.9 kg or more. New Hakodate certified brand melon. The brand name is a combination of “Sabu” from Assabu and “Ri” from Mori. Shipments are from June to late September, with the first half being from Mori and the second half being from Assabu, which is also characterized by a long production period. The specialty tomatoes and cucumbers have been cultivated for a long period of time, including forcing cultivation, semi-forcing cultivation, summer-autumn cultivation, and seasonal cultivation. Is receiving. Mori Port is located in the central part of the eastern part of the Oshima Peninsula and in the southern part of Uchiura Bay, and has developed as a good natural port blessed with marine resources for a long time. In 1953, it was designated as a regional port, and since then it has been used as the only regional port in Uchiura Bay. Regarding the cargo handled, volcanic ash, sand, etc. produced in this town and neighboring towns are shipped far to Honshu as construction materials, and are positioned as a base port. In addition, it is a base port for fishing boat fishing such as gillnet and set net fishing, and in recent years, the fishing industry has been changed from catching fishery to growing fishery, and the scallop aquaculture industry is progressing year by year. Along with this, the number of aquaculture fishing vessels has increased remarkably and the size of the fishing vessels has increased significantly, and the narrowing of port facilities has become an issue. In order to solve these problems, we are aiming to promote the development of port facilities and develop the fishery industry, which is the core industry of the town proceeding. Morimachi Sakura Festival: The traditional festival since 1950 is a two-week event during the peak of cherry blossoms. In addition to the main event Kayo show, various participatory events will be held at Aobagaoka Park as the main venue. Also, during the period, a Bamba tournament will be held at the livestock co-promotion venue. Members of the Mori Town Tourism Volunteer Guide will be resident during the event, and will kindly teach you about the cherry blossoms in Mori Town. Sakura hot water is also served free of charge. Kayabe District in the Oshima area in southern Hokkaido included the current part of Hakodate City when the administrative division was established in 1879, but now there are two towns, Shikabe Town and Mori Town. In the Kayabe area of the former Oshima province, the Matsumae clan opened six places in Hakodate (a place where vassals trade with the indigenous Ainu) during the Edo period, and the territory of the Matsumae clan repeated tenryo. However, in the first year of the Meiji era, it became Kayabe (derived from the Ainu word “Yaunbesh”). In Shikabe town, the Ainu word “Shikerupe (where Kihada is located)” is derived from the town name, and at one point, many wild hawks called it “Takamachi” and the hawk was a gift to the Tokugawa Shogunate. That’s it. Known for its many sources, ShiKabe hot spring and golf courses, year-round eels, eels, atka mackerel, cherry trout, sea bream, kelp and winter sardines (for cod roe), scallops, released salmon, and aquaculture are landed from three large and small fishing ports. Atka mackerel is a specialty. Mori Town is a mountainous area on three sides, including Komagatake in the eastern part of the town, and faces Uchiura Bay (eruption bay) in the north. Seafood from multiple fishing ports, capital pumpkins, blueberries, prunes, etc. are special products, and the station lunch “Ikameshi rice”, which was once sold at JR Mori Station, is known for demonstration sales such as product exhibitions nationwide, and is a long-established store in the county. There are still food stores.
