Link with the Production Area

In this region, peaches have been cultivated since the Edo period owing to natural conditions such as the mild climate and sandy-gravel soil with good drainage, and the production of high-quality peaches has been established through the accumulation of cultivation techniques, etc. over many years. By promoting the production of peaches throughout the region, an integrated peach field called “100,000 peaches at a glance” has been formed.
