At the auction held in Toyosu Market in Koto Ward, Tokyo on the morning of June 16, 2022, a 1-kilometer pack of high-class varieties “Sato Nishiki cherries” originated in Yamagata Prefecture was sold for 1.3 million yen. According to the city, it hit a record high of 1 million last year. The cherries cultivated by Mr. Tokaibayashi in the Nagatoro area have won the highest award at a competition hosted by the city’s agricultural cooperative before the auction. Kanesu Suzuya (in Toyosu Market), a wholesaler, won the bid, and Daimaru, a department store in Chiyoda Ward (operated by Daimaru Matsuzakaya Department Store, J. Front Retailing Group: 1717, Shimomura Hikoemon Shokei opened a kimono fabric store “Daimonjiya” in Fushimi , Kyoto. (Foundation of Daimaru)) It seems that it was exhibited and sold at the Tokyo store. Located in the Murayama Basin in the central part of Yamagata Prefecture, it is a rural city with abundant nature with hot springs adjacent to Sendai City in the east and Yamagata City and Tendo City in the south. In addition, National Highways 13, 48, and 287 pass through, and Yamagata Shinkansen Sakuranbo-Higashine Station and Yamagata Airport are located at key points of transportation within the prefecture, and it is also an industrial city where advanced technology industries are concentrated. The area of the city is 206.94 km2, which is the ninth largest among the 13 cities in the prefecture. The city system will come into effect on November 3, 1958. A long time ago, there was a large lake called “Moga Umi” in the middle of the Murayama Basin, and the earliest cultivated place at the foot of the Ou Mountains to the east of this lake was called Higashine, and it is said that this place was named. In addition, Taira no Nagayoshi (Nagayoshi ODAJIMA-Ko), who built Higashine Castle, said “Higashine Border” on the Bonsho of Fukou-ji Temple（Owner (name of the implementing organization): Overview of Yakushiji Temple, the bell of the former Fukouji Temple has a height of 109 cm, a caliber of 75.9 cm, and a thickness of the rim of 5.2 cm. It is the old bell of 2. The milky protrusions are arranged in 5 rows and 5 steps on all sides between the milks, the arabesque pattern is engraved between the grasses, and the inscription seems to be engraved between the ponds. The bell retains the characteristics of the Kamakura period and is excellent. The applicant, Nagayoshi-Ko, is said to be a military commander in the Southern Court at the head of Odashima manor. In the first year of 1741, Fukouji Temple changed its name to Ryukoji Temple, so this bell is also called “Ryuko-ji bell”.）donated in 1356, and it is said that it remains as the first gold stone inscription. The city has a long history, and many ancient Jomon period ruins have been discovered. The name of Higashine can be seen for the first time in the record in the Takauji ASHIKAGA-Ko document in 1352, which states that “Dewa no Kuni Odashimaso Higashine Magogoro Ruins” was donated to Kamakura Houkaiji Temple（Tendai Sect: Kinryuyama Shamanin Entonhokaiji Temple-In order to mourn the spirit of the Hojo clan after the fall of 1333, it was erected by Takauji Ashikaga-Ko, who was ordered by Emperor Go-Daigo, in this area, which was called the Komachi residence at that time and is the site of the Hojo clan’s successive authority. The principal image is Kamakura 24 guardian diety of children, the first child-rearing sutra reading Enmei guardian diety of children, and is the only temple in the 33 Kannon sacred sites in Kamakura that enshrines Cundi Kannon, and also Kamakura-Enoshima Seven Lucky Gods. Enshrines Bishamonten.）. It can be seen that this area was called Higashine for more than 600 years. During the Heian period, the lowlands in the northwestern part of Higashine were cultivated and the Jori paddy fields were opened. Murayama-gun was newly established in this region, and the county office was set up in Koriyama in the city, becoming a political center. Shortly thereafter, the oldest recorded Odazima manor was established in the Tohoku region, and it is said that it came from Kamakura during the Nanbokucho period. The lord of a manor Nagayoshi-Ko ruled this land and became a military commander in the Southern Court. It is said that the largest Zelkova serrata in Japan in the Higashine Elementary School playground was already towering as a large tree that just covered the sky when Nagayoshi-Ko built the main castle. Also, on the banks of the nearby Ryukoteranuma, the second oldest temple bell in the prefecture donated by Nagayoshi-Ko in 1356 is hung on the bell tower. During the Warring States period, Mr. Sakamoto and then Mr. Satomi ruled, and Mr. Satomi (Mr. Higashine) worked hard to maintain the vast Higashine Castle and laid the foundation for the town of Higashine. However, in 1622, Mr. Higashine was also entrusted to the Awa Tokushima domain due to the reform of the Mogami clan. Since then, the lord of the Yamagata domain has often changed. Around this time, Higashine developed into a land with an advanced atmosphere, with the Akita Expressway being developed and the culture of Edo directly entering by Sankinkotai, and the production of cash crops such as safflower and tobacco was active. In addition, it is located in the largest Midare River alluvial fan in the prefecture, and it is relatively new that the central part was developed due to poor water use, and it was not until the modern era that it was reborn as a splendid fruit tree area as it is now. With the enforcement of the town and village system in 1899, six villages, Higashine Village, Togo Village, Takasaki Village, Otomi Village, Odashima Village, and Nagatoro Village, were established, and in 1906 Higashine Village became Higashine Town. Then, in 1954, these towns and villages merged to form Higashine Town. Higashine City has developed as a political and economic center and a transportation hub since ancient times. Currently, it is one of the leading fruit tree producing areas in Yamagata Prefecture such as cherries and apples, and high-tech industries are concentrated in the Omori Industrial Park, and it continues to develop as the location of the empty gateway Yamagata Airport. Furthermore, it is expected to continue to grow dramatically as a base city for high-speed transportation networks, such as the formation of a new city center through land readjustment, the opening of Sakurambo-Higashine Station due to the extension of the Yamagata Shinkansen, and the opening of the Tohoku-Chuo Expressway. Alliance on July 6, 1991: In 1603, Ieyasu Tokugawa-Ko opened the shogunate in Edo and founded Nihonbashi and Kyobashi by reclaiming most of the sea, so the original form of the current Chuo Ward was created. Located in the center of the 23 wards of Tokyo, with Nihonbashi, Yaesu, Tsukiji, Tsukishima, Ginza, etc., large office districts line up, and as the name implies, it is the center of Tokyo in all aspects such as culture and economy. It has played an advanced role. The city donated the cherry tree, which boasts the largest production in Japan, which sprouted a relationship of exchange and concluded a friendship city tie-up. Since then, the circle of exchange has been expanded in many situations such as event exchange and staff exchange. 国指定重要美術品: 普光寺の鐘, 昭和16年4月9日, It is also a cultural property designated by Higashine City and Yamagata Prefecture. 県指定文化財: 神輿, 昭和27年4月1日, August 1, 1955 Higashine Wakamiya Hachiman Shrine, Higashine City.

During the 2021 cherry season（Yamagata Prefecture’s special products were stolen just before shipping. In recent years, there were at most 3 cases, but this year there are 7 cases, and the total damage amounted to about 1.5 million yen, which is the highest in the past 10 years according to the JA Yamagata Central Association. Damage caused by low harvest of cherries due to unseasonable weather this year. I heard from my relatives that the prefectural police have launched an investigation and that local governments and JAs are conducting patrol activities.）, the price was rising due to the expected poor harvest since 1996, and especially the gift box was in a state of competition. Global warming was one of the causes that is said to be behind this. However, I heard that experiments have begun at production sites to see that cultivation will become difficult in the future. According to the prefecture, this year’s harvest is expected to be about 9,500 tons, 68% of the average year. If it falls below 10,000 tons, it will be the worst crop since 1996 (9260 tons). Also, the price is rising. According to the Agriculture and Livestock Industries Corporation, the average unit price of cherries in Yamagata Prefecture from June 1st to 22nd this year is 2741 yen per kg. According to the prefecture, the unit price was about 1.3 times the unit price from June to late July last year, the highest in the last 10 years. Due to the reduced yield, some farmers may have abandoned shipments to new customers due to insufficient shipments to their existing customers. One of the reasons for the poor harvest was the freezing and death of the pistil during the frost from mid-April to late April. After all, it seems that the effects of global warming have been pointed out in the background. In general, the temperature rise in spring is remarkable in global warming, and while the temperature in early spring is high, the growth progresses and the resistance to cold is weakened, but in recent years, the temperature fluctuation tends to be severe, and there is a risk of frost damage (frost damage). Sexuality increases. According to the prefecture, the temperature in early spring was 3 to 5 degrees higher than normal this year, and the growth progressed. It was about 15 years ago that I realized the change in temperature. Vinyl was put on the tree to avoid damaging the fruit due to rain, but the temperature was too high and the heat was trapped, and the fruit began to soften and lose its tension. It is said that the frequency of high temperature damage and sunburn, which makes the fruit color worse, has increased. Yamagata Prefecture occupies about 70% of the nation’s share of cherry production. According to the Yamagata Local Meteorological Observatory, the average annual temperature is on the rise, rising 1.2 degrees per 100 years. According to the prefecture, it is well known that although it is not frequent, it is often reported that the high temperature continues in early summer, and the color of the fruit deteriorates and the quality deteriorates due to dehydration. In 2015 (August 2015, Higashine cherries were disseminated domestically and internationally), the prefecture created a vision for global warming countermeasures and is studying countermeasures such as cultivation of new crops. While protecting the cherry brand by developing varieties that can withstand high temperatures, it seems that they are also conducting experiments on the adaptability of new varieties such as Citrus Sudachi Hort. ex Mitsutaro Sirai. The “golden peach” introduced this time is famous as a yellow species cultivated from the accidental seedlings of Ikeda’s “Kawanakajima white peach”. It is also called “Mango Peach” because of its tropical taste. Golden peaches and yellow peaches have yellow skin and flesh, and they look very similar. The taste is sweet and juicy with golden peaches, while yellow peaches are hard and less sweet. Japan Airlines, which handles cherries as air cargo, joined the agricultural labor support project jointly developed by JA Zenno Yamagata and JTB, a major travel company, for the purpose of supporting labor shortages during the cherry harvest season on June 16th. , It seems that the harvesting work has started in the garden of Higashine City. Harvesting requires a large amount of labor in a short period of time, so a reliable helper said that the people involved in the garden, who had reached the busy season, said that it would be very helpful because there are some fruits that cannot be harvested every year. JA Zenno Yamagata and JTB signed a cooperation agreement in April 2021. Japan Airlines transports cherries to the Tokyo metropolitan area and Kansai area by Haneda and Itami flights departing from and arriving at Yamagata Airport. It seems that he heard from the producer that he was “labor shortage” and decided to send employees to help him. It seems that flight attendants as well as employees from the sales department rushed from the head office in Tokyo and the Tohoku branch office in Sendai. It seems that they are aiming to put in a total of about 70 people until the 30th of this month. Since 2022, the Prefectural Agricultural Labor Force Securing Measures Implementation Council, which is organized by Yamagata Prefecture and JA Zenno Yamagata, has embarked on a project to secure workers from Kyushu, which has different agricultural seasons. It seems that four men and women in their 20s and 40s in Fukuoka Prefecture, who are the first team, harvested cherries, selected fruits, and packed them in boxes in Tendo City on June 6. Utilize the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries’ agricultural labor force production area cooperation promotion project. It will be divided into 6 courses until June 28, and it seems that a total of 40 people from Kyushu will work in the cherry gardens in Higashine City and Tendo City for 5 to 8 days each. JA Zenno Yamagata will take the lead in securing a labor force through cooperation between production areas in order to dig up a new labor force through outsourcing of agricultural work in collaboration with other production areas and industries in order to solve the shortage of agricultural labor force on a nationwide basis. JA Zenno Yamagata will organize the producers in the prefecture who wish to outsource the work, and will act for the outsourcing contract work. It seems that JTB, a partner company, will conclude a day labor employment contract for participants, adjust the garden where they work, and arrange transportation and accommodation.
