Alto Paraná (English spelling)

Japanese: アルト・パラナ - あるとぱらな(英語表記)Alto Paraná
Alto Paraná (English spelling)

A Japanese settlement in Itapúa Department, Paraguay, in central South America. It is located about 100 km north-northeast of Encarnación, and covers a vast area of ​​85,000 hectares. About 300 households settled there in 1960, and by 1967 the number had dropped to 285, but they have been successful in cultivating tallow and vegetables. In particular, since a tallow plant was built in Encarnación with Japanese capital in 1968, the lives of immigrants have become more stable. Alto Paraná originally meant "upstream of the Paraná River," and the area upstream from the confluence of the Paraná River and the Paraguay River is generally called Alto Paraná. The Alto Paraná Department is adjacent to the north of Itapúa Department.

Japanese:

南アメリカ中部、パラグアイのイタプア県にある日系人の集団入植地。エンカルナシオンの北北東約100キロメートルの地点にあり、面積は8万5000ヘクタールに及ぶ広大な土地である。1960年に約300世帯が入植し、1967年には285世帯に減少したが、アブラギリや野菜の栽培に成功している。とくに、1968年にアブラギリ工場がエンカルナシオンに日本の資本で建設されて以来、移民の生活も安定するようになった。アルト・パラナは、もともと「パラナ川上流」という意味で、パラナ川とパラグアイ川との合流点から上流を一般にアルト・パラナと称する。また、イタプア県の北にアルト・パラナ県が隣接している。
