00:00When you enlarge the satellite image, you can see it.
00:06It's a house in the mountains far away from the city.
00:11What kind of people live in such a place for what reason?
00:17Wow.
00:18It's narrow.
00:20Will the tires fall off?
00:22It's scary.
00:25I've never driven in a place like this.
00:28Can I help you?
00:31Sure.
00:32I've never done this kind of work before.
00:38This is my standard.
00:41It's coming out.
00:43It's easy.
00:45It's delicious.
00:47I can eat it with just rice.
00:50Tonight, we will aim for a mysterious house found in a satellite image.
00:57A great creation all over Japan.
01:02Potunto Ikkenya
01:07How do you feel when you live in Potunto Ikkenya?
01:11I long for it.
01:13I want to go to a place where I can't see.
01:19You want to experience it.
01:21I'm worried about going to Potunto Ikkenya.
01:25I want to go to the forest and feel the minus ion.
01:30You want to be a man who can be active in such a place.
01:33That's right.
01:34You do everything yourself.
01:36I want to be that kind of person.
01:39This is Potunto Ikkenya.
01:42Where is it?
01:44It's in Nagano.
01:45It's in the south of Nagano in Shinetsu.
01:48Did they intentionally make it look like this?
01:52It's really Potunto Ikkenya.
01:54This is the eyes and this is the mouth.
01:56Don't play with it.
01:58What are you talking about?
01:59It's cute.
02:00Is the house on the left?
02:03It's a strange field.
02:05Is it a mountain?
02:07There is a slope.
02:09It's close to Niigata.
02:11Is it a rice field?
02:13Soba is famous in Nagano.
02:15They use potatoes and eggplants for Tempura.
02:21They have a relationship with soba.
02:24They make soba.
02:26It's a soba farm.
02:28Karami Daikon is also famous.
02:32Is it a roadside station or a farm?
02:36I can't see the road at all.
02:38It's like a helicopter.
02:42It doesn't fit.
02:43It's a minus.
02:44Is that so?
02:46They aim for Potunto Ikkenya in Nagano Prefecture, which was found in the satellite photo.
02:51They start searching from the neighboring village.
02:58We've been on the highway for about two hours.
03:02I think there is a village ahead.
03:06It's getting cooler.
03:08That's right.
03:09I hope there are people.
03:10It's getting narrower.
03:15There is a house.
03:17There are many graves.
03:19That's right.
03:20Is there a temple?
03:25Welcome.
03:27Can you see there?
03:32Welcome.
03:34There are two people.
03:36Can I ask them?
03:37Yes.
03:38What are they doing?
03:40They were crouching.
03:42Hello.
03:45Excuse me.
03:46We're on a TV show called Potunto Ikkenya.
03:50We're going around here.
03:52Isn't it far?
03:53It's far.
03:54Can you hear me?
03:55I can't hear you.
03:56Can I talk to you for a moment?
04:00Can you hear me?
04:01I can hear you.
04:02Can you hear me?
04:03I've been talking to you for a long time.
04:05I'm sorry to bother you while you're working.
04:07Hello.
04:08Hello.
04:09We're on a TV show called Potunto Ikkenya.
04:14Wow, 86 years old.
04:17I've seen it on TV.
04:21Have you seen it?
04:23I've seen it.
04:24Thank you very much.
04:25I'd like to ask you for directions.
04:29Sounds good.
04:30Sounds good.
04:31Here it is.
04:34Now...
04:35Hello.
04:36Hello.
04:37Excuse me.
04:38We're on a TV show called Potunto Ikkenya.
04:40We're on a TV show called Potunto Ikkenya.
04:43Thank you very much.
04:44We're on a TV show.
04:46Thank you very much.
04:47I think we're around here.
04:49Yes.
04:50We're here.
04:51Yes.
04:52We're going to this yellow mark.
04:56Isn't it Yotsuji?
04:58Yotsuji.
04:59It's Yotsuji.
05:00Go around this road.
05:02Go around.
05:03If you go up this road, there's a tunnel.
05:07Tunnel?
05:08If you go all the way to Zuido, there's a road here.
05:12Is there?
05:13The last page is here.
05:15That's right.
05:16The bottom is open.
05:18This is a rice field.
05:19It's a rice field.
05:20It's a rice field.
05:21That's right.
05:22It's a rice field.
05:23Sometimes I come to the countryside.
05:26Does that mean someone comes here?
05:29I used to live here.
05:30Sometimes my brother comes here.
05:33You used to live here?
05:34No, I didn't.
05:35You take care of the field.
05:37It's an open-air shop.
05:38It's an open-air shop.
05:39It's been open for 20 years.
05:40It's been open for 20 years.
05:41It's been open for 20 years.
05:42Is that so?
05:43It's been open for 20 years.
05:44Open-air shop.
05:45My father and mother passed away.
05:48I had a son, but he went to the countryside.
05:52To the countryside.
05:53That's right.
05:54I used to live here.
05:55I used to live here.
05:56You have to do the field.
05:57I have a house.
05:58A house.
05:59I used to live here.
06:00I used to live here.
06:01I don't have a house.
06:02But I think it's a good house.
06:03That's what it is.
06:04Do you know his name?
06:05It's Masami Ito.
06:06Is that Masami Ito?
06:07That's Masami Ito.
06:08He was born in 1975 or 1976.
06:09He was born in 1975 or 1976.
06:10Sadly, Potsun and Ikkenya, where I'm heading, were open-air shops 20 years ago.
06:13Sadly, Potsun and Ikkenya, where I'm heading, were open-air shops 20 years ago.
06:16It was already an empty house about a year ago.
06:20But after his parents passed away,
06:23Masami Ito, a 76-year-old man who lives in Iida City,
06:29still goes to the rice fields to take care of them.
06:33He goes to the rice fields to do farm work.
06:36His relatives are up there.
06:39If I go there, I'll know if he's there today.
06:42If I go there, I'll know.
06:43It's better to ask there.
06:45Do you know him?
06:46Yes, I do.
06:47Oh, really?
06:48He's Mr. Tamotsu Takahara.
06:50Mr. Tamotsu Takahara?
06:51Yes, Mr. Tamotsu.
06:52They're asking for information about the rice fields.
07:00Oh, it's Mr. Tamotsu!
07:03Oh, it's Mr. Tamotsu!
07:05It's Mr. Tamotsu!
07:06It's Mr. Tamotsu!
07:08It's Mr. Tamotsu!
07:10Oh, it's Mr. Tamotsu!
07:12Hello.
07:13Hello.
07:15Oh, sorry.
07:16I'm so sorry for making you stay.
07:19This is a miracle.
07:20It's Mr. Tamotsu!
07:22That's amazing.
07:23He stayed and came back.
07:25If you come here,
07:28I'm sorry.
07:29I'll show you a picture.
07:30I told you that this was a picture of a priest.
07:32I told you that this was a picture of a priest.
07:34I told you to ask for more information.
07:36You can come here, but I don't live here.
07:38You don't live here?
07:39I live in Akiya.
07:40I see.
07:41I come here sometimes.
07:43He comes here every day.
07:45He comes here every day?
07:47He comes here every day?
07:49The person climbing up today is Orkan.
07:51Oh, is that so?
07:53If you climb up this tree,
07:55there is a tunnel on the right.
07:57There is a window on the left.
07:59If you go up the tunnel,
08:01there is a dead end on the left.
08:03A dead end?
08:05Dead end?
08:07There is a grave there.
08:09Is it possible that he is here today?
08:11Is it possible that he is here today?
08:13I think it is possible.
08:15But he is dead.
08:17I see.
08:19Let's go.
08:21Thank you very much.
08:23Thank you very much.
08:25It was perfect timing.
08:27I'm glad.
08:29I should have told you to go there.
08:31You are kind.
08:33I'm sorry.
08:35Follow me.
08:37I'm sorry.
08:39It's amazing.
08:41It's amazing.
08:45I'm so grateful.
08:47I met a great friend.
08:49I'm so grateful.
08:51He is 86 years old.
08:53He is very energetic.
08:55I agree.
08:57I don't think he looked 86 years old.
08:59I don't think he looked 86 years old.
09:01About 20 years ago,
09:03Masami's parents passed away.
09:05Masami's parents passed away.
09:07He said he was visited by his parents every day.
09:09I agree.
09:11He stopped.
09:13Is he the person I met earlier?
09:15Is he a relative?
09:17He is Mr. Tamotsu.
09:23He said he would take me.
09:25Is that true?
09:27He said he would take me.
09:29I'm fine here.
09:31I'm fine here.
09:33Thank you very much.
09:35Mr. Tamotsu, please follow me.
09:37He waited for me.
09:39He is kind.
09:43I'm sorry.
09:47Be careful.
09:51He took me to his house,
09:57And he said he would take me to Mr. Tamotsu's house.
09:59And he said he would take me to Mr. Tamotsu's house.
10:01And he said he would take me to Mr. Tamotsu's house.
10:03I'm sorry to say goodbye to so many people, but I'm sorry, but I'm still here, but I'm sure there's a road.
10:15I wonder what will happen from here on out, but I'm waiting in front of the house for Mr. Tamotsu's car.
10:24I'm going into the depths of the mountains.
10:28I wonder if Masami Ito, the owner of the house, is there.
10:34This is deep.
10:38You're still going up, aren't you?
10:39That's right.
10:40I don't know if you didn't know that.
10:43That's right.
10:45We can't do this by ourselves.
10:48And Mr. Hanzaki said it was a waterway.
10:52It's an old tunnel, isn't it?
10:55That's right.
10:55I don't really call it a waterway.
10:57I used to call it a waterway.
10:58It's a tunnel that looks like it was built by an old man.
11:01It's a tunnel that looks like it was built by an old man.
11:07I hope he's here.
11:08I hope he's here.
11:11Oh, it's a tunnel, isn't it?
11:13Oh, it's a waterway, isn't it?
11:14It's the waterway you were talking about earlier.
11:17Oh, it says it's a waterway.
11:19Oh, it's true.
11:20It's old, isn't it?
11:22It's really old.
11:24I can feel the history.
11:25I can feel the history.
11:26I've never been through a tunnel like this before.
11:29It's a little dark.
11:30If you turn off the lights, it'll be pitch black.
11:33And it's a long tunnel.
11:35If you come here by car, you don't have a car, do you?
11:38Oh, I see.
11:40Because you don't have a house.
11:41And it's a long tunnel.
11:44And it's a road that only one car can pass through.
11:48It's pretty hard to get here by car.
11:51But it's a long tunnel.
11:53We have to go back, right?
11:55It's narrow and dark.
11:57Oh, you're supposed to go through here.
12:02Wow, I've never been through a tunnel like this before.
12:06Oh, I'm glad you're here, Mr. Taiko.
12:09It was close, wasn't it?
12:11We're out of the tunnel.
12:14It's getting pretty wild.
12:17Isn't he here?
12:18What?
12:19Oh, I'm glad you're here.
12:21I'm so nervous.
12:22Oh, here it is.
12:24This is the road.
12:26I don't know this one.
12:28I don't know this one.
12:30Oh, we're going up like this.
12:33We're going up again all of a sudden.
12:38It's almost sticky.
12:39Yeah, it's sticky.
12:40Are you okay? Can you climb?
12:42That fast?
12:43No, it's fast.
12:45It's pretty narrow from here.
12:47It's narrow.
12:48There's a lot of rice paddies in the back.
12:50You're right.
12:54Are we still going up?
12:56Oh, that's right.
12:57Oh, there's a change.
12:59It's on the left.
13:01On the left?
13:03And this is on the left.
13:07It's a gravel road.
13:09We're going down.
13:10It's a gravel road.
13:12It's getting narrower all of a sudden.
13:14I'm a little scared.
13:15Wow, that's amazing.
13:16The left side is about to collapse.
13:21The rocks are starting to come out.
13:24Wow, it's scraped.
13:26No, it's going to collapse.
13:28It's true.
13:28I'm scared.
13:29It's a matter of time.
13:32There's no guardrail, so it's scary.
13:34That's right. There's no guardrail.
13:36The right side is a cliff.
13:38It's scary.
13:39No, it's scary.
13:40Oh, my God.
13:42Did you hit it?
13:43I heard a lot of crashing.
13:45You'd better go slowly.
13:46I have to go slowly.
13:47Mr. Tamotsu is already going.
13:49You're going to hit the floor.
13:51I see.
13:53Wow, the right side is a cliff.
13:56I'm scared.
13:58This is scary.
14:00If you fall, there's no one left.
14:02Slowly, slowly, slowly.
14:04I'm scared.
14:05Is the director a new person?
14:07That's right.
14:07Oh, I see.
14:08I've never driven in a place like this.
14:10Is this your first time?
14:11It's my first time in a place like this.
14:13Did you open it a little?
14:15I opened it a little.
14:17Oh, good. Mr. Tamotsu.
14:19You're here.
14:21Mr. Tamotsu.
14:23It's still going.
14:25Isn't the curve a little narrow?
14:27I'm scared.
14:29Slowly, slowly, slowly.
14:31Wow.
14:33It's so close.
14:35It's narrow.
14:37Won't the tires fall?
14:39How about the right side?
14:41The right side is a cliff.
14:43Slowly, slowly, slowly.
14:45If I can get through this, I'll be fine.
14:47Yes, I got through.
14:49That was close.
14:51I'm tired.
14:53This is hard.
14:55The debut match was about to be the last.
14:57That's right.
14:59That was close.
15:01Do people go through this road every day?
15:03That's right.
15:05Isn't it a life-threatening road every day?
15:07It must be scary at night.
15:09It's pitch black at night.
15:11That's right.
15:13It's pitch black at night.
15:15What if it's raining?
15:17I'm scared.
15:19I can see it.
15:21Is that a seed?
15:23That's a seed.
15:25There's a seed.
15:27That's right.
15:29The car has stopped.
15:31Is it here?
15:33Is it here?
15:35Mr. Tamotsu is already down there.
15:37Mr. Tamotsu is fast.
15:39He's coming.
15:41Let's get off the car.
15:45He's not here yet.
15:47Really?
15:49He's been taken care of.
15:51By the way, what is this place?
15:53This is my house.
15:55You don't have a house yet, do you?
15:57My house is down there.
15:59Can I take a picture?
16:01This is your house, right?
16:03This is my house.
16:05This is my house.
16:07This is a rice field.
16:09Is there a house down there?
16:11Is there a house down there?
16:13It's a high-rise building.
16:15It's a high-rise building.
16:17I can see the roof.
16:19I can see the roof.
16:21It's here.
16:23It's here.
16:47On top of a steep mountain road,
16:51on the top of a cliff where you can see Tanada,
16:57there are many tall trees,
17:01and many old buildings.
17:05The buildings are older than I thought.
17:09Compared to satellite images,
17:12the shape of the buildings and the arrangement of the buildings are all the same.
17:19There is no mistake here.
17:21It's amazing.
17:23I'm impressed just by this.
17:25Is he not here today?
17:27He may come in the afternoon. I don't know.
17:29Oh, I see.
17:30I'll call him.
17:31Is that okay?
17:32Yes.
17:34Thankfully, his relative, Mr. Tamotsu, contacted Mr. Masagi Ito.
17:42The search team headed to a shop in the mountains of Nagano prefecture the next day.
17:51Oh, I can see him.
17:53Is he here?
17:55Is he here?
17:56Yes, let's go.
17:58Oh, there's a car.
18:00There's a car.
18:01He's here.
18:02I wonder who he is.
18:04Hello.
18:08I was surprised.
18:09Oh, what are you doing?
18:11Hello.
18:12Hello.
18:13I'm Sakaguchi from the TV program, Potsun to Ikken.
18:17Sakaguchi, right?
18:18Yes, Mr. Tamotsu.
18:19Mr. Tamotsu.
18:20Yes, Mr. Tamotsu.
18:21He brought me here and gave me a call.
18:26Thank you very much.
18:27Not at all.
18:28I'm sorry.
18:29I'm here today because of this satellite photo.
18:33You're right.
18:34You're right.
18:35You're from Potsun to Ikken.
18:37He's aware of it.
18:39I don't think there's a mistake here.
18:40I don't think so.
18:41Oh, really?
18:42Thank you very much.
18:43You're finally here.
18:45Thank you very much.
18:46I've been waiting for you.
18:48I thought you'd come.
18:49I've been waiting for you.
18:51Finally, he came to my house.
18:53He welcomed me warmly.
18:56He's Mr. Masami Ito, the owner of Potsun to Ikken.
19:00He's 73 years old.
19:04The Demon King is coming today.
19:06Oh, is that so?
19:07He's coming to Potsun to Ikken.
19:09Hello.
19:10I happened to be on vacation.
19:12The voice of the child was the grandson.
19:16I'm sure it's fun here.
19:17It's good for a picnic.
19:19You're right.
19:20What's your name?
19:22My name is June.
19:24June Miyashita.
19:27I'm Toha.
19:28You're Toha.
19:29I'm June Miyashita.
19:30I'd like to ask you a few questions.
19:32Go ahead.
19:34Is this building an open house?
19:36Yes, it is.
19:37How long ago was it?
19:38My father passed away in 2013.
19:41My mother lived alone for about three years.
19:46So it's been an open house for about 20 years.
19:48I see.
19:49Since 2004.
19:50I've been building it up and increasing it.
19:53That's true.
19:54There are a lot of them.
19:55Is this the main house?
19:56That's the big one.
19:57Oh, this is the main house.
19:58Yes.
20:00It's a house with a lot of history.
20:03It's old.
20:05I think it's over 100 years old.
20:06It's over 100 years old?
20:07I think it's over 100 years old.
20:08It's old.
20:10It used to be made of wood.
20:12Oh, really?
20:13I made it out of wood.
20:14Your father?
20:15I think he was a retired craftsman.
20:17I made wood, too.
20:18I made a lot of things.
20:20I cut wood.
20:21That's amazing.
20:22I made everything.
20:23You're like a craftsman.
20:26What kind of father was your father?
20:28He was a serious man.
20:30He didn't smoke or drink.
20:32He was kind to me.
20:34He never cured me.
20:36He told me to do what I wanted to do.
20:38He told me to go my own way.
20:40He was a good man to me.
20:44It's amazing that you say that.
20:47I made a fireplace.
20:49And this is a warehouse.
20:52My father made this bath.
20:55It was a bath to boil wheat.
20:58I didn't use it now.
20:59I made it all by myself.
21:01That's amazing.
21:02It's made of iron.
21:05Did you make it when you were in elementary school?
21:07Yes, I did.
21:09You've been working here for 20 years.
21:11I've been here for 20 years.
21:13Is that so?
21:14I make rice paddies here.
21:17I take care of rice paddies.
21:19I see.
21:20I live here with my children.
21:24I live here for about 40 minutes.
21:25Do you live with your grandchildren?
21:27Yes, we live together.
21:28I see.
21:31Masami's parents lived here until they died.
21:35It's a small house on a mountain in Nagano prefecture.
21:4120 years ago, it became an open house.
21:45To take care of rice paddies,
21:48Masami lives with his only daughter, Mao.
21:53He drives 40 minutes from his house in the neighboring town.
21:58He comes here almost every day.
22:01It's amazing.
22:02It's a dead end.
22:04I'm going to open a bar this January.
22:07Did you work here until last year?
22:09I come here often since February.
22:12I see.
22:13I used to come here once in a while.
22:15What do you do for a living?
22:16I'm a manufacturer.
22:20I process small parts and precision parts.
22:23I've been working at a small rice paddy for about 30 years.
22:30I see.
22:31I quit my job and started working here.
22:36People who have never lived here may not know why I came here.
22:41People say it's convenient to buy rice here.
22:46But I grew up here.
22:48So, I have a love for rice.
22:50I see.
22:51I grew up in the mountains.
22:53It's not a lot of rice.
22:55The rice paddies are small.
22:57I have five brothers.
22:59My eldest brother passed away.
23:00I'm the second oldest.
23:02The third and fourth are my two sisters.
23:05I got married when I was 30 years old.
23:07I moved to Iita.
23:10I live with my mother and my father.
23:13I see.
23:14That's where I grew up.
23:15Have you grown rice here for a long time?
23:17Yes, I have.
23:18I used to have a rice paddy, but it was destroyed.
23:22Now, I have three rice paddies.
23:25That's a lot of rice.
23:27Were you a rice farmer?
23:30No, I wasn't.
23:32I see.
23:33I see.
23:34You can eat a lot of rice.
23:35Yes, I can.
23:36It's self-sufficiency.
23:38At that time, everyone was self-sufficient.
23:42We made rice to eat.
23:44So, the rice you've been eating has been made here?
23:47That's right.
23:48I've never bought rice.
23:49I see.
23:50Did you grow rice with your father?
23:53Yes.
23:54When I didn't have a machine, I grew rice by hand.
23:57You grew rice by hand?
23:58Yes.
23:59I also used a stone to make rice.
24:03That's amazing.
24:04What was the road like when you became a rice farmer?
24:09There was no road yet.
24:11I see.
24:12There was a mountain road.
24:13Do you know the tunnel?
24:14Yes, I've been through the tunnel.
24:16There was a road that went up from the entrance of the tunnel.
24:19I see.
24:20It's ruined now, so it's no good.
24:23I walked there.
24:25I carried a lot of things.
24:27Did you walk?
24:28Yes, I did.
24:29That's amazing.
24:30My wife helped me, but it was hard work.
24:33It was hard work.
24:34So, when I brought my wife, I walked from the north.
24:37She said,
24:38this is the place.
24:39That's amazing.
24:40I remember being told that.
24:41Wow, you went over this mountain.
24:4820 years ago, when his parents passed away,
24:51since it became an open-air shop,
24:53Mr. Masami visited and protected it with rice paddies.
24:57This is a rice paddy.
25:01How do you use this rice paddy?
25:04It's like a storage room.
25:07I didn't live here, so I cleaned up a lot.
25:10Old things are still here.
25:13I see.
25:14How is it inside?
25:15It's messed up inside.
25:17Is that so?
25:18Yes.
25:19Can I come in?
25:20Can I come in?
25:21Yes, you can.
25:23This is a rice paddy, right?
25:26It's wide.
25:28This is an old rice paddy.
25:30It's a rice paddy.
25:31Oh, a rice paddy.
25:33What's this line?
25:36It's a power line.
25:37Oh, it's a power line.
25:39It's an old rice paddy.
25:41Oh, I remember that.
25:43It's a rice paddy.
25:44Can I touch it?
25:45If you touch it, it'll pop.
25:47Will it pop?
25:48It'll pop.
25:49Is this still open?
25:51Yes, it is.
25:52Is that so?
25:53This is a naked light bulb.
25:54It's connected to the top.
25:57Yes, it's connected to the top.
26:02When was the light bulb installed?
26:03I think it was in 1934.
26:06I thought it was in 1965.
26:10It's a lamp now.
26:13My parents had four children here.
26:16They opened a rice paddy here.
26:18There was no rice paddy in the hospital in the past.
26:21Did you climb this mountain path?
26:24Yes, I walked here.
26:25Oh, you walked here.
26:27That's how I was born.
26:29Oh, really?
26:30With my siblings.
26:31So you were born here?
26:35Yes, I was born here.
26:37That's an important home.
26:40What about the laundry?
26:42I have a washing machine.
26:44Do you still use the washing machine?
26:46Yes, I do.
26:47It's a double-layered washing machine.
26:50Do you still use it?
26:52Yes, I do.
26:53I see.
26:54It's an old washing machine.
26:55Do you know what a double-layered washing machine is?
26:57No, I don't.
26:58There's a drain next to it.
26:59It squeezes the water out.
27:02I have a hundred children.
27:04When I sweat, I use the washing machine.
27:07What about the water?
27:08I use a pump.
27:09A pump?
27:10Yes.
27:11Is there a pump here?
27:12I used to dig a well here.
27:14I used to step on the well water.
27:17I made a concrete tank here.
27:21This is a water tank.
27:24Is this a water tank?
27:25Yes, it's a water pump.
27:28I twist this part.
27:32It's convenient.
27:33When was this built?
27:35It was built a long time ago.
27:37It was very empty.
27:39Did you build it when you were in elementary school?
27:43No, I didn't.
27:44It was a well.
27:46I used to eat it like this.
27:50It's a picture in front of the well.
27:51That's right.
27:53I used to climb a mountain here.
27:56I used to cut a watermelon here.
27:58Is that so?
27:59Here and here.
28:01I used to dig a well here.
28:05This is a grass field.
28:07It's a flower field.
28:08A flower field?
28:09Yes.
28:10Watermelons are food.
28:12It was all over the place.
28:14I used to dig a well here.
28:16My house has become a nursing home.
28:18I can't sleep here.
28:20I sleep in the nursing home.
28:22I make a noise.
28:24It's noisy.
28:26What is this?
28:27Which one?
28:28That's it.
28:29This?
28:30This is an old TV.
28:31Is this a TV?
28:32Yes.
28:33Can I see it?
28:34Yes.
28:35It's a brown TV.
28:36Like this.
28:37Where does it show?
28:38Have you ever seen a TV like this?
28:40I've never seen it in person.
28:42Is that so?
28:43It's like this.
28:44Everyone used to have a brown TV like this.
28:46I see.
28:47It was long.
28:48It's like this now.
28:49That's right.
28:50It's hot.
28:52I've never seen it before.
28:53I've never seen it before.
28:54Really?
28:55Yes.
28:57It was like this when I was in elementary school.
28:59Mr. Tokoro was in here.
29:01I've never seen it before.
29:02That's right.
29:03He's been doing it for a long time.
29:04He's been here for a long time.
29:05Can I hold it?
29:06Yes.
29:07Is it heavy?
29:08It's quite heavy.
29:10What?
29:11I can't lift it.
29:12It's heavy.
29:13It's heavy.
29:14This is a TV.
29:15Do you know it?
29:16I don't know.
29:17It's a TV.
29:18It's Chibimaruko's house.
29:19I see.
29:21I see.
29:22You can tell from the anime.
29:24I've only seen that much.
29:25Do you want to go to the rice field?
29:26May I?
29:27I'm sorry.
29:29Be careful.
29:30There are bees.
29:31What is this?
29:32This is an electric fence.
29:33Electric fence?
29:34Yes.
29:35It makes a sound.
29:36Do animals come out?
29:37Wild boars come out.
29:38It's to keep bees away from bees.
29:39It's quite a long distance.
29:40It's very long.
29:41I saw a lot of bees flying around the rice field.
29:42I cut the grass and the bees came out.
29:43I'm sorry to bother you.
29:44Is the grass okay?
29:45Not at all.
29:46Be careful of your feet.
29:47The scenery is nice.
29:48I don't know why, but I don't think anything.
29:49That's right.
29:50You've seen it every day.
29:51I've seen it every day.
29:52I wonder if it's the first time you've seen it.
29:53It's the first time I've seen it.
29:54It's the first time I've seen it.
29:55I'm sorry.
29:56I'm sorry.
29:57We're going to the rice field.
29:58It's the first time I've seen it.
29:59It's the first time I've seen it.
30:00It's the first time I've seen it.
30:07No, it's great.
30:12There's no change at all.
30:14It's a natural landscape.
30:15That's great.
30:16Is it okay for people to go through this?
30:20You can go inside.
30:21Sorry.
30:22Please.
30:23I don't think you need water.
30:24That's right.
30:25I see. So after the rice is harvested, it's soaked in water, right?
30:28Yes, it's soaked in water.
30:29I see.
30:30If you harvest it, you don't need water.
30:33This is...
30:34Hazanake.
30:35Hazanake, right?
30:36Yes, hazanake.
30:37You harvest it...
30:39Yes, we dry it, and then we cook it.
30:43I see.
30:44Does it change when you cook it?
30:47It's called sweet rice, but...
30:48Does it taste better?
30:49Yes, it tastes better.
30:50I see.
30:51If you dry it, it tastes better.
30:52I see.
30:53What is it called?
30:54Koshihikari.
30:55Oh, koshihikari.
30:56Do you cook it yourself?
30:57Yes, I cook it myself.
30:58I see.
30:59Dad, this is the rice you always eat.
31:02How is it?
31:03It's good.
31:04Is it good?
31:05How about you, Jun?
31:06It's good.
31:07Is the rice at home good?
31:08Yes.
31:09Is it good?
31:10Yes.
31:11Is it good?
31:12Yes.
31:13Is it good?
31:14Yes.
31:15Is it good?
31:16Yes.
31:17Is it good?
31:18Yes.
31:19Is it good?
31:20Yes.
31:21Is it good?
31:22Yes.
31:23Did you know that you were making it here?
31:24I didn't know.
31:25You didn't know, did you?
31:26I thought you were buying it.
31:27You thought I was buying it?
31:28Oh, my.
31:29I didn't know.
31:30I didn't know.
31:31I was surprised, too.
31:32You didn't know.
31:33My grandfather made it.
31:34It's good that you came out this time.
31:35It's good.
31:36It's good.
31:37It's the rice my grandfather made.
31:38But you're happy that your grandfather made the rice, aren't you?
31:39Yes, I am.
31:40What are you doing?
31:41I'm hungry.
31:42What is it?
31:43I have rice.
31:44Rice.
31:45I see.
31:46I see.
31:47I'm hungry.
31:48I'm hungry.
31:49It's good that your grandfather made the rice, isn't it?
31:50I'm hungry.
31:51On this day when the search team visited, it was the day to take the rice that he borrowed
31:54and harvested.
31:55Masami headed to the farmhouse at the back of the farmhouse.
31:58It's a great machine.
31:59What kind of machine is this?
32:02Dakokki, Dakkokki.
32:03Dakokki.
32:04Is it a Dakkokki?
32:05Dakokki.
32:06Dakokki.
32:07Dakokki.
32:08It has a catapillar, so it moves with the catapillar to turn it into rubber
32:14Oh, so it's going to be decoupled now?
32:15That's right
32:17You're already used to driving it
32:19There are so many cars like this, so I can't get into the combine
32:22Oh, I see
32:24The convenient part is the combine, so I can turn it into rubber from the paddy field
32:28Oh, so you can ride it?
32:29I can ride it, borrow it, and the rubber will come out
32:34Mr. Masami drove a self-propelled decoupling machine and moved it to the paddy field
32:42Then, two men were waiting for him
32:47Oh, it's Otatsu
32:48His friends
32:49Mr. Masami, do you have any friends today?
32:53Oh, so you're going to decouple me?
32:55Oh, that's right
32:57I'm a classmate
32:58Oh, you're a classmate?
33:00Oh, that's right
33:02Nice to meet you
33:04Do you get help every year?
33:06Mostly
33:07What kind of help do you get?
33:09Oh, what kind of help do you get?
33:10I get help from my family and other people
33:13Oh, I see
33:14I also get rice
33:16Oh, I see
33:18So, you're going to decouple me from now on?
33:20Yes
33:21So, you're good to go now?
33:23Yes
33:24This is what it looks like now
33:26One by one
33:28This is what it looks like
33:30Like this
33:32Oh, I see
33:33So, you're going to decouple me with this machine and move me to the paddy field?
33:37Yes, that's right
33:38OK
33:39I'm going to use this belt
33:42Oh, it's rotating inside
33:44Yes, it's rotating inside
33:45I'm going to drop this
33:50Oh, it's sliding
33:53I want to eat it without dropping it
33:55Oh, it's so clean
33:57It feels so good
33:58It feels good, doesn't it?
33:59It feels so good
34:00Oh, there's a bag of rice in there
34:02How is it?
34:03Oh, I've never seen it before
34:05Oh, it's amazing
34:06It's nice
34:07It's nice, isn't it?
34:09It's the joy of harvesting
34:10Yes
34:11Is it divided into rice and straw?
34:13Yes, that's right
34:14This straw can be used for something
34:16It can be used for something
34:17It can be used for farming
34:18It can be used for farming
34:19It can be used for farming
34:21What do you use it for?
34:23It can be used for farming and for farming
34:26It can also be used to soften the soil
34:30It can be used to thin vegetables
34:33It can be used to make dried fish
34:35It can be used for those things
34:37Then, straw can be used for everything
34:40Yes
34:41It can be used for everything
34:42Yes, yes
34:43It's not wasted
34:44It's not wasted
34:45It's not wasted
34:48It's quite a lot
34:49Yes
34:50Then, you change it
34:52How many kg can you put in a bag?
34:5430 kg
34:55About 30 kg?
34:56Yes
34:57Then, how much rice can you make with the rice?
35:01It's half
35:02Oh, it becomes half
35:04Then, if you make it with rice, it becomes 15 kg?
35:06Yes, that's right
35:07I see
35:08Can I help you with this?
35:11Yes
35:12Can I?
35:13Yes, you can
35:14Why do you help?
35:15Isn't it nice?
35:16It's a rare opportunity
35:17Yes
35:18The 24-year-old Shinmai-Sousaku-tai
35:23has never done this kind of work in his life.
35:27I've never done this kind of work before.
35:30How was it?
35:31It was a great experience.
35:32Thank you very much.
35:34Is this one completely dry?
35:36Yes, it's completely dry.
35:39It looks like we're almost done with the first row.
35:41Yes, it's a little over 20 meters.
35:43It's a little over 20 meters?
35:45Yes, it's a little over 20 meters.
35:47How many rows do we have left?
35:491, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
35:526 more to go?
35:53Yes.
35:54It's going to be a lot of work without machines.
35:56It's going to be a lot of work.
35:58It's hard to do this all by yourself.
36:00Yes.
36:01I'm glad you're helping me out.
36:04Yes, yes.
36:05I'm going to help you out.
36:07I'm going to help you out.
36:08I'm going to help you out.
36:09I'm going to help you out.
36:11I'm going to help you out.
36:13That's great.
36:15On this day, the two classmates worked together for 6 hours.
36:21They carried 7 bags of rice bags weighing 30 kg for 3 rows.
36:28In total, they carried 210 kg of rice bags.
36:32One of the bags was carried by Mr. Masami on a light truck.
36:39Where are you taking this to?
36:41To the rice field.
36:43There are a lot of rice fields on the road.
36:45If you narrow it down, it'll get worse.
36:50I see.
36:52Can I follow you?
36:54Yes, you can.
36:56Thank you very much.
36:58Let's go this way.
37:00Please follow me.
37:04The next day
37:09We're going to the rice field.
37:12There are rice fields everywhere.
37:15Yes, there are.
37:16We see them sometimes.
37:18We're used to seeing them,
37:20but we've never been inside or used them.
37:23I'm looking forward to it.
37:25Me, too.
37:26I'm happy to see them.
37:28The next day
37:31Salmon
37:33Head, bones, and soft roe
37:35Soft roe?
37:36Do you sell those?
37:37Yes.
37:39If you want to see another one-of-a-kind shop,
37:42please subscribe to our channel.
37:44It's even more convenient if you subscribe to our channel.
37:50After Mr. Masami's light truck,
37:53we went down the mountain
37:55and came to the town where Mr. Masami lives.
37:58There's a sign.
38:00There's a sign.
38:02It's written here.
38:04It's written here.
38:06It's written here.
38:08It's here.
38:11Is it here?
38:13Yes, it is.
38:15It's written here.
38:17Is it always written here?
38:19Yes, it is.
38:21I see.
38:23I'll put it here.
38:25This is the entrance.
38:28Put our packages here.
38:30And here we put the ground rice.
38:32You put it here and put the bag.
38:35The rice will come out from here.
38:37This.
38:39Depending on Thunderbird,
38:41It costs about 400 yen.
38:43I see.
38:45You can buy either oats, brown rice, or rice gruel.
38:47Oh, I see!
38:49Then these are all options.
38:51So, you can buy starches from brown rice, too.
38:53The barley is good at doing both,
38:55This is the stage where you can make both.
39:01This is rice.
39:02This is rice, so rub it.
39:04I understand.
39:06Is this done in order?
39:08Yes, as much as you can.
39:10If it's close to brown rice, do one part.
39:12If you go a little further, do three parts, five parts, seven parts.
39:16The standard is to do half of it.
39:18If you want to make it wider, do it twice.
39:22I've never done it before.
39:24Does the size of the grain change as it is scraped?
39:28It gets a little smaller.
39:30Because it's scraped.
39:32I'll do it.
39:34Yes.
39:40Oh, that's right.
39:42The sound has started.
39:44You just put it in like this and press the button, right?
39:46Yes.
39:48It's automatic.
39:50It's easy.
39:52You just put it in like this.
39:54That's right.
39:56It's easy.
39:58It's coming out.
40:00Is this rice that you can eat when it's cooked?
40:02That's right.
40:04It's easy, isn't it?
40:06Thank you very much.
40:08It's white rice, isn't it?
40:10Yes.
40:12That's fast.
40:14It hasn't even been five minutes yet.
40:16How long does it take to do this yourself?
40:18It takes half a day.
40:20It's almost done.
40:22If it comes out, it's over.
40:28It looks like it's almost over.
40:30It's almost over.
40:32It's quite revolutionary.
40:34Are there many people who can do this?
40:36There are many.
40:38Everyone in the country has this.
40:40It's been in this state for about 20 years.
40:42That's right.
40:44It's over.
40:46Thank you very much.
40:50It's about this much.
40:54It's a lot.
40:56It's a little more than half.
40:58It's a lot.
41:00It looks heavy.
41:02Is this the end?
41:04This is the end.
41:06It's close to my house, so let's go together.
41:08Can I follow you?
41:10Please follow me.
41:12Thank you very much.
41:14He's kind.
41:16He explains everything to me.
41:18It takes about 10 minutes by car from the house.
41:22Masami and his wife
41:24live in the same house as his daughter's family.
41:26They have arrived at their home.
41:30My wife is coming now.
41:32Hello.
41:34Nice to meet you.
41:36I'm on a TV show called Potsun to Ikkenya.
41:38I'm here to listen to Masami's story.

41:42I'm going to ask you to bear this.
41:44I'm going to ask you to bear this.

42:04He is the director of Shinmai.
42:06He eats Shinmai.
42:08That's right.
42:10That's right.
42:12I think we need to reduce the amount of water.

42:36After 50 minutes,
42:38After 50 minutes,
42:40Shinmai is ready.

43:23He's a good friend.
43:25Of course he is.
43:27Tsugiyama-san and Shiozawa-san are here as well.
43:31The tasting of the new rice is about to start.
43:36This is the mushroom that Shiozawa-kun gave me.
43:39If you like it, please try it.
43:42Is this mushroom?
43:44It looks delicious.
43:46This is Nagano prefecture's specialty.

44:42It's different from the rice I usually eat.
44:44It's different.
44:45It's completely different.
44:46It's different.
44:47It's because it's hand-pulled.
44:50You can eat it with just rice.
44:52You can eat it with just rice.

45:23It looks delicious.
45:24It doesn't come out much.
45:27Thank you for the meal.
45:28It has a strong scent.
45:29It has a strong scent.
45:31It's a little bitter.
45:33It's a little adult taste.
45:34I've never eaten it before.
45:36It's delicious.
45:38It has a good scent.
45:40It's a good snack.

45:52I'm sorry for the sudden request.
45:55I'm sorry.
45:56By the way, how do you feel?
45:57By the way, how do you feel?
45:59You've been eating rice alone all the time.
46:02I'm a little worried about my life.
46:04That's right.
46:06That's right.
46:08I think it's hard.
46:10I think it's better if you cook for me.
46:14I think it's better if you cook for me.
46:16You don't have to go buy rice, do you?
46:18I don't have to go buy rice, do you?
46:19I'm grateful.
46:20I'm grateful.
46:21I see.
46:22I see.
46:23Masami, do you want to do this in the future?
46:26I want to make rice with what my parents left behind.
46:34I don't want to make anything else.
46:38So I want to make rice.
46:40I have been in a lot of trouble, so I want to repair it.
46:45As long as I live, I'll manage.
46:47I want to leave something behind.
46:50That's how I feel, but I don't know if I can do it.
46:54That's the real challenge.
46:59Masami's family was born 73 years ago, and it's been 20 years since they moved to Akiya.
47:06Masami goes to the high mountains every day to protect the rice paddies.
47:15The rice, which his grandchildren and friends eat deliciously, is the pride of the Ito family, a blessing inherited from his parents.
47:28It is Masami's wish to continue making rice in this mountain, with the help of his classmates, as long as his physical strength continues.
47:44The scenery is wonderful.
47:46Your father is watching the scenery on TV right now, isn't he?
47:49That's right.
47:50I didn't know my family was like this.
47:52He's like, I'm doing this here.
47:54I'm so proud of him.
47:56I think he can keep his energy by following the important places left by his parents, as well as his own life.
48:04That's true.
48:05He makes a living with that rice and rice paddies, doesn't he?
48:08He does.
48:09It was the best rice paddies.
48:11He lives in the city all by himself.
48:13He only eats rice and fish for dinner.
48:15That's all he eats.
48:17He doesn't do anything else.
