There have been many voices of regret for the closure and requests for the event to continue, and with the enthusiastic support of everyone, the Hasegawa Mushroom Garden has made a fresh start. On the day of the event, we will be holding kitchen car gourmet meals, alcohol sales, beauty salon and massage experiences, and workshops for children.

Create a handmade stage by building a bridge in the middle of the rice field. The original lyrics of the Mishima folk song “Nohei-bushi” are engraved on the “Fuji no Shirayuki Monument” located in Shirataki Park in Mishima City, Shizuoka Prefecture. This song is said to originate from the Western-style agricultural and military training that was started by Hidetatsu Egawa, the Nirayama magistrate at the end of the Edo period. It was originally sung as a marching song, but later developed into “Noe-bushi” through Tagusadori songs and Bon dance songs, and was refined by Gentaro Hirai and Takayuki Yada at the end of the Taisho era, and spread throughout the country as a Mishima folk song. Gentaro danced in the costume of a peasant commander, and the song was successfully made into a record, and in the early Showa period, “Nohei-bushi” became a nationally known song. Even today, when you think of “Mishima,” people say “Nohheibushi,” and it is a popular folk song that represents Mishima. 〇Seller information More than 40 stores including food, merchandise, and workshops Hasegawa Mushroom Garden Currently, five varieties are cultivated: “Eringii
