Origin of Koga Peach Festival

Koga Peach Festival teeth It originates from the early Edo period when Toshikatsu Doi, the lord of the Koga domain, had peaches planted in his territory. .

At that time, firewood was used as fuel for cooking and heating. However, Koga's people were in poverty because there were not enough trees to use as firewood. When Tokatsu heard this, I came up with the idea of planting a peach tree, which grows quickly and whose fruit can be used as food and its branches as fuel. .

It is said that he had the children of his vassals in Edo collect peach seeds, send them to Koga, and plant peach trees in fields and around castles, thereby saving people's lives.
