Monument of Senshu Onion Developers(Harvesting time: around May)The Senshu onion has been grown for a long time in Tajiri Town,
which is regarded as the birthplace of the Senshu onion. Yoshimi’s
early maturing variety of the Senshu onion, which is now referred toas the “phantom onion”, is flat and rich in moisture. Therefore, it does
not last for a long time. However, its flesh is soft and very sweet.

The Tajiri History Museum is an example of the rare architecture created in early
20th century, where a Western-style building of Art Nouveau type that has an interior
decorated with splendid stained glass is annexed with aJapanese-style building. Originally, Fusazo Taniguchi,
who was born in Tajiri Town, constructed the buildings as
his secondary residence with a guest house adjacent to
his Yoshimi spinning factory. The Tajiri History Museum isa place that makes us realize the prosperity of thespinning industry that became the cornerstone of thedevelopment of the town as well as the entrepreneur’svaried sense and artistic grounded abilities.
