グリーンヒル一ツ森 花鳥の丘 - Yokomori

An ordinary park. However, it is on the exit side of the Hitotsumori Park water supply tunnel. Reprinted below. The latter half of the 1955's, which is the period of high economic growth. The Akita City Waterworks Bureau has started the 4th water supply expansion project (April 1963-March 1944) in order to respond to the rapid increase in population and the increase in demand for water due to the development of industrial parks. As part of the expansion project, a tunnel will be created to pass (buy) a water pipe through the hills in the eastern part of Mt. Kinshoji for the purpose of sending water from the "Niida Water Purification Plant" to the newly constructed "Tegatayama Water Distribution Plant". , Completed in September 1965. A major construction to lay a water pipe with a length of 9,460 m and an inner diameter of 1,000 mm from the "Niida Water Purification Plant" that uses the Omono River as its water source to the "Tegatayama Water Distribution Plant". The copper pipe for water supply was carried by a carriage, and in winter it was carried by a horse sled. Since the flow of water is from Niida to Mt. Tegata, the Narayama side is the tunnel entrance and the Yokomori side is the exit. After the opening, it was always locked as a management tunnel for the Waterworks Bureau, but soon a nearby farmer requested that it be used for moving tractors and the like. When heading to the rice fields across the mountain, using a tunnel will save you a lot of time compared to the conventional detour course at the foot of the mountain. Authorities allowed passage, saying there would be no problem for that purpose. Since then, the tunnel has been opened to the public and anyone can come and go freely. When I heard the rumor that the water tunnel in the back mountain (currently Ichimori Park) was opened, I went on an expedition with my bad friends when I was in the middle of the second half. Initially, there were rice fields on both sides of the tunnel, and there were few street lights. There is no lighting device in the tunnel, and it becomes pitch black at night. There are rumors that it is the best environment for trying out the liver in summer, encountering ghosts, and appearing to be molested. A junior high school student who was hiding in the darkness of the tunnel and smoking Shinner was guided, and a nearby school and parents demanded that it be closed, saying that it could become a hotbed of delinquency. In 1982, the water supply tunnel was closed again. As the area became more residential, the number of farmers who used the tunnel conveniently decreased, and there were no voices against the blockade. For a period after the blockade, the "Akita Fire Department" will regularly conduct smoke rescue training in the tunnel. The year after the tunnel was closed, "Ichimori Park" opened spectacularly in March 1983. #Akita Prefecture #Akita City #findakitacity #Let's Travel Akita
