We carried out multifactorial analysis on the humidity and test of storage of the practical level in order to change the chestnut from the ordinary-temperature storage to low temperature storage. Low temperature storage was carried out as 3degC storage which did humidifying and -2degC storage using both of polyethylene wrap and chip of the tree. As the result, the large factor which causes the humidity is a temperature in the storage shed and the colder it is, it the more difficult is to keep shed. Also, the -2degC storage using both of chip of the tree and polyethylene wrap was the most excellent in the storage form in point of the quality (sugar content, specific gravity, moisture content, disease) of the chestnut. It was shown that this study could be stored lon-term, while the quality of the chestnut is retained.
