平均年収２５００万円、村人は皆、庭付きの大きな家に住み、農閑期には温泉旅行など、ゆとりのある生活を楽しんでいる農村があります。
それは何処かつて？日本にあるのです、長野県の川上村がその楽園なのです。
高原のその村は、気温の関係で、昔は不毛の地、過疎の地で貧困村でした。
しかし、救世主が現れたのです。
その人、藤原忠彦さんは地元農家の生まれで、村役場に勤め、４４歳の時企画課長になってから
村の改革を目指しての努力を買われ５０歳で村長に任命されました、それからは、益々、力を発揮して、今のような楽園を作りあげたのです。

Where is Paradise?, We have been looking for it for long time.
Yes, It's in Japan.
In Kawakmi village, Nagano pref, farmers have large house with big garden, and they have lots of reisure time, because, their income average 25million yen each a month.
They produce lettuce and named it Highland Lettuce and it makes farmers
have easy lif now.
The village population is only 634, but village chief ,Mr Fujiwara researched
what kind of harvest was fit for this land.
He had been making effort to grow good lettuce for 30 years and he succeeded, the products have been sold well in Japan and also have been
