高橋連虫麻呂（神別氏）: 鹿嶋郡苅野橋別大伴卿歌一首[并短歌] 牡牛が運び出すのに苦労するような屯倉（Miyake; 官営倉庫）の方に向かう鹿島の崎に, 赤い丹塗りの小舟の両側に梶を通して, 夕潮の満ち潮がとまった頃を見計らって, 舟人達を呼び集め, 御船が出航した. 後に残った者達は, 浜も狭しと転げ回り, 恋しがり, 地団駄踏んで（stamp one’s feet in frustration）声をあげて泣く. 海上（On the banks of the birth, or the former Kaijo District of Shimousa (Unakami no Koori)）の向こうの屯倉のある津（harbor）を指してあなた様一行が漕いで遠ざかっていくので（万葉集, 9巻-1780番歌）

“Hokota City, Ibaraki Prefecture,” Located in the Rokko region in the southeastern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, it is one of the leading agricultural areas in Japan, blessed with a vast Pacific Ocean and abundant green land. Agriculture, which takes advantage of the flat terrain and mild climate, is a key industry and a food supply area for the entire metropolitan area. Not only fruits such as melons and strawberries, which are famous nationwide. Japanese mustard spinach, Spinach, mizuna greens, Tomato, Carrot and other vegetables, which are known all over the country for many items. Oodo’s Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn（Indian soapberry）: City natural monument-The light candy-colored fruit is impressive. When peeled, a black seed appears from inside. The seeds are used for the black balls on the wings of the New Year play battledore and shuttlecock. The real skin was used as a detergent in the past. That’s because when you rub it in water, bubbles form and it’s suitable for removing dirt. Minowa : ‘Tokushuku Castle: Designated as a city historic site’, Built by Mr. Tokushuku’s first Chikamoto at the end of the Heian period. He had been Shimotsuke no jo (local official for the Shimotsuke Province) before, but, by his merit of hunting down TAIRA no Masakado, he was promoted to Jushiinoge (Junior Forth Rank, Lower Grade) and appointed to the post of kokushi (provincial governors) for the Shimotsuke and Musashi Provisions as well as Chinju-fu shogun (Commander-in-Chief of the Defense of the North) and increased his power. After passing through the castle monument, climb the stairs at the entrance, and you will see a waist from the southwest to the south on your right. When you climb the stairs, you will find the main shrine, the Inari Shrine, the stone monument of “Tokushuku monument to the memorial service”, and the Hokyointo. etc. Father Narimoto Kashima is the 7th generation from Taira no Kunika（Takamochi did not return to Kyoto after he served out his term, and his sons Kunika filled the post of Hitachi no daijo (Senior Secretary of Hitachi Province) and Yoshimasa of Chinju-fu shogun (Commander-in-Chief of the Defense of the North)）, who follows the tradition of Emperor Kanmu, and governs Kashima District at the will of the Hitachi Daijo clan. Tokushuku’s second generation（The ancestor of Mr. Anbo. Based in Kamata（烟田）Castle Ruins）Hidemoto’s eldest son, Toshimoto, transferred the area including Awa and Hokota.

Developed during the Edo period as a key point for land and water transportation connecting Edo with the Tohoku and Hitachi regions. The traffic of humans and horses and the distribution of goods centered on marine products became popular, and agricultural products were also shipped to the Edo area. Minowa; 箕輪（Former Asahi Village）, It is right next to the producer’s field. Mizu shrine and Yagami shrine: It’s small, quietly blended into the area, and has an old-fashioned atmosphere like “the god of the village Guardian”. When you go up the old stone stairs, there is a stone monument next to the shrine, and the origin of the shrine is engraved. Yamato takeru no mikoto is eastern expedition-Take a boat from Kashima City Tsunoori (formerly Ono Village) and land near Kamigama, Hokota City. After that, I went inland and took a rest for a while on the south bank of Hinuma（Brackish water lake of Nakagawa water system）. Then, when he departed, he gave the villagers a Crossbow (a stone bow that shoots an arrow). It is said that this shrine was dedicated to the villagers and built a small shrine. Nihonshoki（Chronicles of Japan）; 日本武尊, Kojiki（Records of Ancient Matters）; 倭建命, Hitachi Fudoki (description of the culture, climate, etc. of Hitachi province; approx. 720 CE); 倭武天皇. Various names and notations are confirmed in these documents. Legend has it that he wore one of the three sacred treasures, the Nagi-sword, and worked hard to settle the nations. The route and place of stay of Tosei are different between Kojiki and Nihonshoki.

However, Nakajima and Yatsuda（Reservoir）theory are influential. Transferred to a Konaji Temple-In August 1672, everything from the Shrine building to the trees in the precincts was burnt down. Therefore, there are no records related to shrines. The main shrine was designated as a prefectural cultural property in March 1968. The hall of worship was designated as a village cultural property in September 1973.

Decomposes residual chemical substances by giving stevia extract, which has the effect of detoxifying dioxin and nicotine, to crops. In order to activate effective microorganisms, the soil that easily holds moisture and nutrients in the aggregate structure is activated. “A microorganism that retains a large amount of inorganic nitrogen”, Prevents pathogens and absorbs nutrients needed by crops. In addition, many hair roots cause absorption of calcium and magnesium, which makes plant physiology difficult. There is a tendency to produce healthy, long-lasting crops with good tension and strong tree vigor and less susceptibility to disease. The leaves contain sweet components such as stevioside and rebaudioside, which are surprising because they show about 300 times the sweetness of sugar. “Cherry tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Piko) ” plants were drip-irrigated at four soil moisture levels (pF 1.5, pF 2.0, pF 2.5 and pF 2.9) from the 17th day before fruits on the first cluster reached the red ripe stage. Under high water stress (pF 2.9), the total dry weight and water content of the plant decreased, compared to other treatments. However, the proportion of fruit dry weight per plant gradually increased proportionately to the pF, but the proportion of the leaf and root dry weight decreased. The total sugar content of the fruit increased as the pF value rose, but that of sucrose was lower than that of glucose and fructose under all of water conditions. Starch content in the fruit was equal and decreased during its ripening in all treatments. Although the water content of the fruit decreased with higher water stress, the difference in concentration among the four conditions was within 3% so that the sugar concentration was barely affected. Total nitrogen content and the nitrogen content in the water soluble protein under water stress at pF 2.9 were lower than thoes at pF 1.5 which suggests that the low nitrogen content may account for the high sugar content. We conclude that the optimum pF value ranges between pF 2.5 and 2.9, within which is optimum tomato fruit quality without any reduction in yield.（Reference, Department of Bioresources, Hiroshima Prefectural University, Journal of the Japanese Society for Horticultural Science 1998）The objective of this study was to clarify the components affecting the quality of cherry tomatoes grown on commercial organic farms and conventional ones in summer and autumn. Sixteen pairs of conventional cherry tomato samples and organic ones were taken from 16 farms and the content of ascorbic acid, lycopene, β-carotene, sugars, citric acid, free amino acids and the production of ethylene were analyzed. The organic cherry tomatoes contained significantly high amount of ascorbic acid and lycopene, but produced significantly low rate of ethylene compared to the conventional ones.（Reference, National Agricultural Research Center for Tohoku Region with Fukushima Agricultural Technology Centre and Faculty of Agriculture, Yamagata University, Journal of the Japanese Society for Food Science and Technology 2010）The objects of this study were to determine the contents of chemicals and physiological activities (CO_2 and C_2H_4 production) in the fruit of cherry tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum var. cerasiforme Alef.) cultivar Petit at three stages of ripening (pale green fruit, Pg.; partially ripe fruit, Pr.; table-ripe fruit,Tr.) through July to November, and to study the physiological response to physical stress at picking time. The titratable acid (TA) contents of the jelly part was higher than those of the pulp, and the growing season had no effect on the TA contents. The TA contents of the Tr. fruit were the lowest in three stages. The Tr. fruit had the highest reducing sugar (RS) content, and the fruits harvested in August had the highest RS. The jelly part had higher free amino acid (AA) contents than the pulp, and the Tr. fruit had the highest AA content. The fruits harvested in July had the highest contents of AA. Respiration rates (CO_2 production) at picking time were the greatest in Pg. fruit and less in Tr. fruit. Respiration rates of Pg. and Pr. fruits decreased and Tr. fruit did not show an obvious change during a holding at 20℃. The C_2H_4 production of Pr. fruit was the greatest and less in Tr. fruit, and C_2H_4 productions of Pr. and Tr. fruits harvested in a high temperature season were greater than those of the fruits harvested in a cool season. Respiration rates and C_2H_4 productions of all fruits increased after the physical stress at picking time. The rate of increase in Pr. fruit was the greatest.（Reference, Graduate School of Agriculture and Biological Sciences, Osaka Prefecture University, Journal of the Japanese Society of Agricultural Technology Management 2000）. Cherry tomato seems to prefer a sunny and airy place. It grows well even in direct sunlight, and the amount of sunlight is very important for producing good quality tomatoes. In Hokota City, in addition to those who specialize in tomato production, there are many producers who grow tomatoes from the end of melon cultivation until the next year’s cultivation, spring tomatoes shipped from late May, and from mid-August. There seems to be summer and autumn tomatoes to be shipped. High-quality tomatoes with a good balance of acidity and sweetness are produced in a warm climate with a large temperature difference between day and night. It is also designated as a production area for fruit and vegetable brands in Ibaraki Prefecture, and delicious tomatoes cultivated with the excellent technique and passion of producers are highly evaluated nationwide.
