0.02 / Sep / 2017•28m

Tokachi in Hokkaido is home to Japan's largest field and the fields in the district account for more than 10% of Japan's field area. Farmers here have to deal with a harsh winter, with farming only possible for around half of the year. During the short farming season, farmers produce crops including wheat, soybeans and potatoes. 130 years ago, a pioneer with a hoe in his hand arrived here and opened up this northern land. The spirit of the early pioneers continues to harness the riches of the land.
