A meeting of the study for future agriculture in Tochigi.

The Japanese agriculture has a lot of problems now.
It is the lowness of the Japanese self-sufficient rate of food, the lowness of the income of the agriculturalist, the aging of the agriculturalist, lack of successor.
We established a meeting for the study for Japanese agriculture to succeed as business in the future.

About 50 farmhouses, a person of commerce and industry, a public employee, researchers gathered in an open establishment general meeting and the commemorative party yesterday.

We hope that business model of new agriculture is created by this society for the study.

Autumn in NIKKO

I went to a hiking in NIKKO with my friend Andrej who comes from Slovakia,

and japanese friend on 10th of Oct.

We gathered in the Akanuma parking lot at 6:00 a.m.

The temperature was 2 degrees Celsius, very cold morning.

The reason that gathered in such early time is because

a lot of people gather for colored leaves sightseeing.

We took ODASHIROGAHARA, SENJYUGAHAMA, SAINOKO lake

for about 6 hours and enjoyed hiking.

The autumn colors of nikko began,

but the colored leaves which had begun to turn red and yellow were beautiful.
