Weathernews (Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture) announced on March 21 that Aomori Prefecture has the lowest percentage of people who are aware of hay fever.

The company conducted an interview survey on the whole country except Hokkaido and Okinawa for two days on March 15th and 16th, and aggregated the responses from 9361 people. As a result, the percentage of people who answered that they had hay fever was 31% in Aomori prefecture, the lowest in Japan, and 77% in Yamanashi prefecture.

At the same time, we also released a pollen scattering map by our own pollen observation device “Pauln Robo” and showed the average pollen scattering from 2010 to 2016 on the map. Within Aomori prefecture, the Tsugaru area tends to have fewer areas than the southern area.

On the net, "I have no choice but to return to my parents' home in Aomori." "When I was in Aomori, I never met a person who had hay fever, so I don't know how hot it is." (These are the original text moms).

A man in his 40s living in Hirosaki said, “Aomori Prefecture has the fourth largest sugi plantation area in Japan. Why is it so small?” and a woman in her 20s may be “not aware of hay fever. Aomori people are patient. ". A man in his thirties, who says he has many business trips to Hachinohe, says, "There were people who had hay fever due to transfer from Akita to Hachinohe. There may be many in the southern area."

Isao Sawada, an apple farmer in the Soma area, who has been suffering from hay fever for eight years, said, ``No matter how much Aomori's pollen is scattered compared to other places, the pain of the symptoms does not change for the patient, and the symptoms appear. While I'm in the house, I don't want to go out of my house. Even in Aomori, people with hay fever still have a hard time, but there are few people with hay fever who can share this pain..."
