【History】

Until the beginning of the Meiji era, Fujimoto was a wilderness covered with lava and volcanic ash soil, and was a place where neighboring farmers such as Obuchi Village and Nakano Village harvested firewood and mowed grass. "In the 13th year of the Meiji era, Mr. Koyama, the head of the village of Obuchi, talked with his comrade, Mr. Goto, and recommended the villagers to clear the land.
