00:52そりゃあ楽しみですね
00:56We are going to look at a mysterious object that we found in a satellite photo.
01:05The great invention of Japan.
01:09Potunto Ikkeiya
01:16Masao, what do you think of Potunto Ikkeiya?
01:18I moved to Tateshina, Nagano Prefecture.
01:21Every time I go there, I get a little jealous.
01:24Do you burn firewood?
01:26I'm getting more and more jealous.
01:28How about you, Tani?
01:29I'm from Yamaguchi Prefecture.
01:33It's a quiet town.
01:36I like plums.
01:38I want to grow plums.
01:40I want to grow plums myself.
01:44Not many young people like plums and want to grow plums.
01:48It's like Sugawara Michizane.
01:50This is Potunto Ikkeiya.
01:52It's located in Kochi Prefecture, Shikoku Prefecture.
01:56It's located in the mountains in the west.
01:59It's a pretty large land.
02:02The house is a brown roof.
02:04It tends to be buried here, but there is also a house with a white roof.
02:08I don't know what this is.
02:10It's a circle.
02:12Masao, who do you think it is?
02:14It's like a place that used to be a paradise.
02:18That's amazing. It used to be a paradise.
02:21The circle looks like an Anpanman.
02:24But it's a terrace, so let's make it a Doraemon.
02:27That's right.
02:29It's easier to harvest if you make it a circle.
02:33It's easier to feed because it flows from the top.
02:38Is there a reason for this?
02:40It's like a pot of Genghis Khan.
02:42You said it flows like a circle.
02:46I think it used to feed birds and pigs.
02:51It used to flow from the top.
02:53Is there a pig around there?
02:55Is it a money for feeding?
02:57Probably.
02:58No, it's not.
02:59It's totally different.
03:00It's different.
03:02They are looking for a house in Kochi Prefecture that they found in a satellite photo.
03:08They start searching from the neighboring village.
03:12It's going beyond the mountains.
03:13It's far.
03:15Is that a house in front of us?
03:18Yes, it is.
03:20Is it around here?
03:21I hope someone is here.
03:27Someone is here.
03:28Let's ask him.
03:29I'm sure he will introduce us to someone who knows a lot.
03:32And someone who knows a lot will come with a light tiger.
03:34I've seen that before.
03:38Hello.
03:39I'm a Japanese.
03:42Are you Japanese?
03:43I'd like to ask you a question.
03:44Yes.
03:45Are you Japanese?
03:46I'm sorry.
03:48I think it's around here.
03:52I want to go to the mark.
03:55I don't know where it is.
03:56Is it a house?
04:00I'm not from here.
04:02I see.
04:03I don't know how deep it is.
04:07It's going as Mr. Tokoro predicted.
04:10A car is coming.
04:12Wait a minute.
04:15Hello.
04:16I'm on a TV show called Otontoikenya.
04:20I'd like to ask you a question.
04:22Otontoikenya?
04:23Yes.
04:24Mr. Tokoro is on TV.
04:26Can I ask you a question?
04:27I'm not from here.
04:28I don't know where it is.
04:29Can I ask you a question?
04:31I don't know where it is.
04:33I think it's around here.
04:35Yes.
04:37I think you know the house around the mark.
04:43Where is it?
04:45I don't know where it is.
04:48It's around here.
04:50I think I know.
04:52It's Mr. Kucho.
04:53It's Mr. Kucho.
04:54Can I show you the way?
04:56No, thank you.
04:57You can.
04:58You can?
05:02Kucho is a strong card in this program.
05:04Yes, he is.
05:05Is it okay if I sit next to you?
05:12Mr. Yagama.
05:13Oh, you're behind me.
05:15Yes.
05:16He's not here.
05:17Is he sleeping?
05:19Oh, he's not.
05:20I see, I see.
05:21What is it?
05:22It's a bit of a surprise.
05:24Hello.
05:25We don't have a reporter.
05:28We can show you the map, but we don't know where it is.
05:31Here's the map.
05:33Is it okay if I sit next to you?
05:36Excuse me.
05:37Oh, it's the mayor's wife.
05:39It's around here, isn't it?
05:42Yes, it is.
05:43It's in Kokoya.
05:45Do you know where it is?
05:46It's just one block away.
05:47It's a house like this.
05:49Is it just one block away?
05:50Yes, it is.
05:51Oh, it is?
05:52Do you live here?
05:53Yes, I do.
05:54Oh, you do?
05:55I live here.
05:56My children work here.
05:59Do you have three children?
06:02Yes, three.
06:03I see.
06:04How old are they?
06:05Seventy-something.
06:07What's their name?
06:08Yasuda.
06:09Nakata.
06:10Yorioka.
06:12Yorioka?
06:13Yorioka?
06:14Yorioka?
06:15Yorioka-san.
06:16Do you know where it is?
06:17No, I just know the name of the district.
06:20Oh, there are a lot of them?
06:21Yes.
06:22Oh, it's decided.
06:23I see.
06:24That's interesting.
06:25He knows the name of the district.
06:27That's amazing.
06:29Yorioka-san is the owner of the house.
06:33The couple in their seventies live with their son and their three children.
06:42It's faster to go this way.
06:45That way?
06:46It's on the right.
06:47I don't know how to get there.
06:48Oh, really?
06:49Let's go halfway.
06:50Is that okay?
06:51Let's go halfway.
06:52Okay.
06:53Thank you very much.
06:56Thank you very much.
06:57Excuse me.
06:58I wanted to be on TV.
07:01But I'm not here.
07:02Thank you very much.
07:03He knows the way halfway.
07:06So, Mr. Ushiroda decided to show him the way.
07:12And there he is.
07:14Oh, there he is.
07:15Mr. Kucho.
07:16Mr. Kucho Monta Monta.
07:19Mr. Kucho, who was absent earlier, came back from work at the right time.
07:26Mr. Kucho, you got all the predictions right.
07:28Yes, I did.
07:29Mr. Kucho.
07:30I asked my wife if there was a Yorioka-san in this house.
07:36She said no.
07:37She said she wanted to see it.
07:38She said no.
07:39She said no.
07:40It's around here.
07:41It's around here.
07:42Yes.
07:43It's here.
07:44It's not here.
07:45Yes.
07:46It's here.
07:47It's the Yorioka-san's house.
07:48It's the Yorioka-san's house.
07:49I knew it.
07:50I'm sure of it.
07:51I don't mind showing you the way.
07:53Are you sure?
07:54Yes.
07:55Are you sure?
07:56I don't care.
07:57I don't need to go in.
07:58Yes.
07:59Let's go.
08:00Mr. Kucho, who knows the Yorioka-san's house,
08:03decided to show him the way in Mr. Ushiroda's place.
08:09Mr. Kucho, be careful.
08:10Thank you very much.
08:11Thank you very much.
08:12Thank you very much.
08:13I really wanted to come here.
08:15Wow.
08:16You took me here.
08:17Yes.
08:18I went around and came to Mr. Kucho's house.
08:21I'm so grateful.
08:23I'm glad.
08:24Mr. Kucho knows everything.
08:27He does.
08:28Yorioka-san lives with his family.
08:33There's a house.
08:35We're going to the mountain from here.
08:39Right?
08:40Wow.
08:41We're in the mountains.
08:42It's a mountain of my favorite.
08:45The road is narrow.
08:47It's the same as usual.
08:48Yes.
08:51The search party follows Mr. Kucho's trail and enters the mountains.
08:57What kind of life does the Yorioka-san family,
09:02who live with their family, have?
09:08We're in the mountains.
09:14The road is narrow.
09:17No, it's not.
09:19It's totally different from before.
09:21It was a residential area.
09:24It suddenly looks like a jungle.
09:27It looks like a scary road.
09:31This way?
09:32Yes.
09:34I'm scared of the front.
09:36I can't see the front.
09:38I'm scared.
09:40This road makes me nervous.
09:44It's narrow.
09:46It's tough.
09:47It's narrow.
09:49Is that a building?
09:50There's a car.
09:52There's a car.
09:53There is.
09:54Mr. Kucho also stopped.
09:56He got off.
09:57That's his house.
09:58Which one?
09:59There it is.
10:01This is it.
10:03Wow.
10:04He's going.
10:05Let's go.
10:12You should leave the car here.
10:14Oh, really?
10:18Finally, they arrive at the first house in Kochi Prefecture,
10:22which they found in a satellite photo.
10:27The mountains are covered in green.
10:30There are two Japanese-style and Western-style houses
10:35lined up in a wide open area.
10:40That round thing is a garden.
10:42Yes, it is.
10:43There's a tree.
10:45Compared to the satellite photo,
10:48the color and shape of the roof,
10:50the position of the garden and the field,
10:54everything is the same.
10:56There's no mistake here.
11:00Thank you very much.
11:02This is an old house.
11:04An old house.
11:06There are two houses on the other side.
11:09One of them is Sumiyo.
11:11I see.
11:12There's a log house on the other side.
11:14A log house?
11:15It was built over 50 years ago.
11:19A log house?
11:20That's nice.
11:21Yes.
11:25It's luxurious.
11:26It's nice.
11:28Good morning.
11:31Good morning.
11:33Good morning.
11:35It's been a while.

12:25We're family.
12:26I'm sorry for the sudden visit.
12:27I'm sorry for the sudden visit.
12:28These two men welcomed me with a smile.
12:35The owner of the log house,
12:37Mr. Hirosuke Yorioka, 80 years old,
12:41and his wife, Mayako, 77 years old.
12:46You're the husband and...
12:47I'm Naohiko Jina.
12:49I'm Naohiko Jina.
12:50Nice to meet you.
12:51I'm sorry.
12:52The three of you live here together?
12:56Yes.
12:57I've heard that in the city.
13:00I've heard that in the city.
13:03Please come in.
13:04What were you doing?
13:06Are you okay?
13:07I was eating and drinking coffee.
13:11I'm sorry for the sudden visit.
13:13Please come in.
13:15I'm sorry for the sudden visit.
13:16Please come in.
13:17The owner of the log house, Mr. Yorioka,
13:19took me to this house
13:21by looking at this picture.
13:28Is this your house?
13:29Yes, it is.
13:30I see.
13:31It's a big house.
13:33It's a big house.
13:36This is my house.
13:40This is your house.
13:41Yes, it is.
13:43I'm glad to see you.
13:46I'm glad to see you.
13:47I'd like to talk to you.
13:51Is that okay?
13:52Yes.
13:53Please sit down.
13:57It's a log house.
13:59It's a nice house.
14:01Yes, it is.
14:02It's a log house.
14:03It's a small hut.
14:05It's not a hut.
14:07Have you been living here?
14:09No, I lived in Kyoto.
14:11Is that so?
14:12Did you move to Kyoto?
14:13Yes, I moved to Kyoto.
14:15Did you move to Kyoto?
14:17No, I didn't.
14:18I moved to this house.
14:20I see.
14:21This is where you were born.
14:23This is where you were born.
14:24This is where you were born.
14:27What about this log house?
14:29I built it when I moved to Kyoto.
14:32I see.
14:33This is where you were born.
14:37I see.
14:38How long have you lived here?
14:41How long have you lived here?
14:44I have a shrine at home.
14:47A shrine?
14:48Yes, it's called Yamashiro Shrine.
14:49I see.
14:50I see.
14:51It's on top of the house.
14:52It's on top of the house.
14:53Yes.
14:54Yes.
14:55Yes.
14:56Yes.
14:57Yes.
14:58Yes.
14:59Yes.
15:00Yes.
15:01Yes.
15:02Yes.
15:03Yes.
15:04Yes.
15:05Yes.
15:06Yes.
15:07Yes.
15:08Yes.
15:09Yes.
15:10Yes.
15:11It's mine.
15:12It's on top of my house.
15:13I still celebrate masks in my home.
15:17I ruled the kingdom.
15:20That's why I lived here
15:22It would be dangerous to tell.
15:24Does your family come from the next-door house?
15:27That's right.
15:28Does your family come from the next-door house?
15:31I grew up here.
15:32We are four men and one woman.
15:35So we are five.
15:37By the way, are yours...
15:38I'm San-na.
15:39When I was a kid, my grandfather and grandmother lived here too.
15:45I see.
15:46Let's go.
15:47Can I?
15:49There are a few buildings in this old house, right?
15:52The biggest one on the left is the main house.
15:54It's separated.
15:55Yes.
15:57So the bathroom is on the right?
15:59Yes.
15:59And the bathroom is behind the door?
16:02Yes.
16:02Can I?
16:03Yes.
16:05Do you still use it?
16:06Yes, in the summer.
16:08Is this the main bathroom?
16:10No, it's not.
16:11So it's there, and you use it as a toilet?
16:14Yes.
16:16I use it as a toilet when I come home.
16:18Do you flush the dirt?
16:20In the old days, I used to use this stove as a Goemon bath.
16:23I see.
16:23There was a firewood stove outside, and I used to cook in the fall.
16:27And I'm in charge of the bathtub.
16:30Is that so?
16:31And I collect water from the river.
16:34It must be hard to collect water from the river.
16:37How many buckets do you have?
16:38I have two buckets.
16:41Really?
16:43Sometimes, I see fish in the river.
16:46In the bathtub?
16:47Yes.
16:50The big one on the left is the main house, right?
16:53Yes.
16:54And the right one is...
16:57This is the kitchen.
16:58I've heard that the bathroom and the toilet are separated.
17:02I've heard that the kitchen is also separated.
17:04It's a rare feeling.
17:06I used to drain the water from the river.
17:11I connected the pipe with bamboo.
17:13You used bamboo as a pipe?
17:15I couldn't bend it because I wanted to go into the main house.
17:18This is the main house, right?
17:19So the water was drained to that place.
17:21I used this to collect water.
17:24So the kitchen was decided at the place where the water was drained.
17:27I think so.
17:28I see.
17:29That's why it's separated.
17:31I see.
17:33I see.
17:34You did the same thing.
17:35I didn't know that.
17:36I know.
17:37It's a hassle to bend bamboo.
17:39The kitchen is in front of the main house, right?
17:42Yes.
17:43This is the entrance.
17:43Oh, the entrance.
17:45How long has this house been built?
17:47About 120 years.
17:49120 years?
17:50It was built when my father was born.
17:53So it was built by your grandfather?
17:55Yes.
17:56This doll is amazing.
17:58I thought my grandchildren would come back.
18:01So I thought I'd put it in the order of Christmas.
18:03So I put it in the order of Christmas.
18:05But they were busy.
18:07So they couldn't come back.
18:09I see.
18:10They couldn't come back.
18:12Do you often have your grandchildren come back on New Year's Day, Christmas and so on?
18:17Yes, twice or thrice a year.
18:18Do you have a meal together in the summer?
18:21We have a barbecue in front of the floor.
18:23Barbecue.
18:24Yes, we do.
18:26It's cute.
18:27Yes.
18:28It's a place for children to play.
18:29I see.
18:31When there's a lot of water, they jump in from above.
18:33Can they jump in that much?
18:35It looks fun.
18:37It's amazing.
18:38It's fun to have a natural pool like this.
18:41Yes.
18:42It's nice.
18:43It's nice.
18:44It's an event that only happens a few times a year.
18:46Yes.
18:48I'm looking forward to it.
18:50Yes.
18:51I'm really looking forward to it.
18:53It's been built for 120 years.
18:56The floor is made of tataki wood, isn't it?
18:58Yes, it is.
18:59It's amazing.
19:01The ceiling is amazing.
19:04Yes, it's good.
19:06Is this made of this kind of wood?
19:08Yes, it is.
19:09There may be a lot of pine trees.
19:10Pine trees have a lot of oil, so they rot easily.
19:14I see.
19:15The ceiling is also made of tataki wood.
19:16Yes.
19:17It's amazing.
19:19Please have a look.
19:21It's nice.
19:25It's fun to make it.
19:27Yes, it is.
19:29Excuse me.
19:30Yes, go ahead.
19:32It's a little high.
19:35The ceiling is a little low.
19:38Yes, it's low.
19:40I'm afraid I'll hit your head.
19:45It's amazing.
19:46There is a prayer here.
19:50I used to use this.
19:53I used to live here when I was a child.
19:56It's amazing.
19:57It looks like it's still there.
20:00The door is close to the ceiling, isn't it?
20:03When I used to use this door, it was not there.
20:06I see.
20:07In the old days, the door was open to the ceiling.
20:10It was not around the fire.
20:12It's a little too close to the ceiling, isn't it?
20:16I see.
20:17This room is very Japanese-style.
20:22Is that a fan on the ceiling?
20:25Yes, it's a fan.
20:27It's a Japanese-style room.
20:28I used to use it in Kyoto when I came back to Japan.
20:32I thought it was a fan, so I thought it was a good idea to use it.
20:36So I brought it home.
20:38When I turn this, the smoke goes up.
20:40The smoke comes out from there.
20:43I see.
20:44It's a smoke-expelling fan.
20:47The smoke goes up to the fan and comes out from there.
20:51I see.
20:52I see.
20:54Do you still use this door?
20:56Yes, I use it when I have a party.
21:00I make oden when I have a festival.
21:05You eat oden.
21:07As you can see,
21:09if I close this door and take a step, it's a little narrow.
21:14That's right.
21:15If I close this door, I can't use this door around the door.
21:20I can remove this door and move it.
21:23What do you mean?
21:25If you look here, there's a groove.
21:30I can put the door in here.
21:32It's a groove for the door.
21:37If there's nothing here, it'll be a mess.
21:40That's right.
21:41I can remove this door.
21:47Is that so?
21:48That's amazing.
21:50I didn't know there was such a groove.
21:53This is a thin sheet of tatami mat.
21:57I take it off and bring it here.
22:00That's cool.
22:01Right under the kamoi.
22:03This is one and a half tatami mats.
22:05That's how much room there is.
22:08I see.
22:09I didn't know there was such a thing.
22:11That's amazing.
22:13It's easy to remove, isn't it?
22:15Yes, it's easy.
22:15It's easy, but you need tools.
22:17It's not nailed or processed, is it?
22:18No, it's not.
22:19So it's easy to remove, right?
22:21Yes, I move it around a lot.
22:24Wow.
22:25You're so smart.
22:27You're right.
22:28I can move the tatami mats and make a groove here.
22:33There's a lot of stuff here.
22:34There's a lot of books on the roof.
22:36There's a lot of festivals.
22:38I take this off.
22:39I see.
22:40When people gather,
22:42you make this side a little wider.
22:44So there used to be a lot of people gathering here in the past, right?
22:47Yes, people from all over the country came to help.
22:51I see.
22:52They came to cheer for you.
22:53Then we drank a lot of spirits on that night.
22:56That's what we did.
22:57I see.
22:58So you guys don't have a party here.
23:01By the way, where was the rice field?
23:03It was all rice fields in front of the rice field.
23:06It was all rice fields in front of the house.
23:08I see.
23:10Do you still do rice fields?
23:12No, I don't.
23:14I made rice fields when I came back here.
23:17But it's more difficult to make rice fields.
23:19I can't eat a lot of rice.
23:22So I thought it would be better to plant flowers or make a garden.
23:27So I quit rice farming.
23:29I see.
23:30So you made rice fields as a garden.
23:32Yes, I did.
23:32So you're a farmer, right?
23:34I'm sure you have a lot of customers.
23:36Is that so?
23:38What about your parents?
23:40They were farmers, of course.
23:42I see.
23:44You also have a log house.
23:46Don't you use it a lot in Omoya?
23:49I live in Omoya, but I spend my days in Omoya in the summer.
23:55I read books and watch TV here.
23:59Do you spend your days here?
24:01Yes, I do.
24:02And I have a Buddhist altar here.
24:04Oh, you have a Buddhist altar.
24:07There are two.
24:08One is a Buddhist altar my father gave me when I was in Kyoto.
24:11Oh, you mean the Buddhist altar in Kyoto.
24:14This one is an old-fashioned one.
24:17Oh, it's true.
24:19It's like a Buddhist altar in this building.
24:23I see.
24:25So you live in a log house, but you use it a lot.
24:30Yes, I go to Omoya once every morning.
24:32Oh, every morning?
24:33Yes, in the morning.
24:36So you were born here.
24:38Yes, I went to high school here.
24:40I went to elementary, middle, and high school here.
24:42Do you go to school in the city?
24:45No, I walk about 20 minutes to the center of the city.
24:48How many valleys did you cross when you were a child?
24:52How many small valleys did you cross?
24:54Two or three.
24:56Two or three is amazing.
24:58It's amazing, isn't it?
25:00I crossed three valleys by bicycle in high school.
25:02Oh, by bicycle?
25:05It takes about an hour and a half to get to the city.
25:07That's a long way to go.
25:09It takes about two and a half hours to get back.
25:11I'm in a hurry in the morning.
25:13Oh, you're in a hurry.
25:15Wow, it takes four hours to get to school.
25:17Wow.
25:19So you went to high school here.
25:21What happened after that?
25:23After that, I went to Kyoto University.
25:25Oh, you went to Kyoto University.
25:27In the old days, it was called Gakugei University,
25:29but it was changed to Kyoikudai University.
25:31Oh, I see.
25:34Oh, so you're a teacher at school.
25:36Oh, I see.
25:38Elementary school, junior high school.
25:40It's a private school in Kyoto City.
25:42Oh, I see.
25:44How did you two get together?
25:46How did we get together?
25:48We're from the same village.
25:50Oh, really?
25:52The upstream of this river in the same village
25:54was my husband's place,
25:56and I lived downstream.
25:58Oh, really?
26:00He was my senior in elementary, middle, and high school.
26:02Elementary, middle, and high school are the same?
26:04Yes, that's right.
26:06No, it's not the same.
26:08It's three different schools.
26:10It might be the same in elementary school,
26:12but after I graduated...
26:14Oh, you've been together for three years.
26:16So you've known each other for a long time.
26:18Well, my father...
26:20Oh, I don't know much about you.
26:22My father and mother
26:24were good friends
26:26with my father and mother here,
26:28so I knew my husband
26:31was a wonderful person.
26:33Oh, my!
26:35Oh, my!
26:37He's tall, too.
26:39You don't have to say that.
26:41I don't have to say that.
26:43When my husband went to high school
26:45on his bicycle in the morning,
26:47I was walking in middle school
26:49and I ran into him.
26:51Oh, my!
26:53He was a wonderful person.
26:55He was a wonderful person.
26:57He was a wonderful person.
27:00No, it's not like that.
27:02When I was a kid,
27:04there was a shrine festival.
27:06When I was a kid,
27:08there was a shrine festival.
27:10It's the same village, isn't it?
27:12It's the same village, isn't it?
27:14You went to Kyoto
27:16and started working as a teacher.
27:18How did you two meet?
27:20Actually,
27:22I was also working at a school
27:24and I was a teacher.
27:26I was in Osaka.
27:29So you were a teacher
27:31with your husband.
27:33Yes, we were.
27:35When I was in Kyoto
27:37and there was a Dōtoku training session,
27:39my mother
27:41called me
27:43and asked me to come to Hirosuke.
27:45She called me and asked me to come to Hirosuke.
27:47We met in Kyoto
27:49at that time.
27:51We hadn't seen each other
27:53for a while
27:55and we met.
27:58We decided to go out
28:00and started dating again.
28:02We got married in three months.
28:04That's fast.
28:06It was three months, right?
28:08That's fast.
28:10I'll tell you everything.
28:12I don't know.
28:14I'm embarrassed.
28:16I'm embarrassed.
28:18I forgot.
28:20You two started dating again
28:22after a long time.
28:24Who asked you to go out?
28:27I forgot.
28:29I think my father asked me to go out.
28:31I think my father asked me to go out.
28:33Did you forget?
28:35At my age,
28:37I don't say that to myself.
28:39Did he ask you to go out?
28:41I thought he asked me to go out
28:43but I was disappointed.
28:45That's right.
28:47I see.
28:49You got married
28:51and lived in Kyoto.
28:53Yes.
28:56I lived in Kyoto
28:58until I retired.
29:00I see.
29:02You lived in Kyoto
29:04with your family.
29:06Yes.
29:08After you left,
29:10your parents lived in Kyoto.
29:12Yes.
29:14My mother died first
29:16and I was left alone.
29:18It lasted for 10 years
29:20and I moved to the countryside
29:22when I was 8.
29:25I moved to Kyoto
29:27and I lived in Akiya for 4 or 5 years.
29:29I have a younger brother
29:31who lives in the city.
29:33It's close.
29:35I see.
29:37I see.
29:39You lived in Kyoto
29:41and your parents died.
29:43Why did you come back here?
29:45Why did you come back here?
29:47I didn't want to die
29:49and I retired.
29:51I didn't want to die
29:54and I retired.
29:56So I decided to come back
29:58and live in the city.
30:00That's why I came back.
30:02You came back to manage your family.
30:04Yes.
30:06Also, I was born in Kyoto
30:08so I wanted to come back.
30:10Did you live in Kyoto?
30:12I still live in Kyoto.
30:14You came back
30:16with your family.
30:18I came back
30:20with my family
30:22but I have a lot of things
30:24to do here in the city
30:26so I had a lot of fun
30:28living here.
30:30I have a lot of things to do
30:32here in the city.
30:38It's difficult
30:40but it's good
30:42to have a lot of things
30:44to do in the city
30:46because there is
30:48a lot of natural things.
30:50Do you have a time to go back to your home in Kyoto?
30:54I only go back when I have something to do or when I need something.
31:02I have two sons.
31:05One of them will live with me.
31:10So you two will stay here forever?
31:14Yes.
31:16My grave is over there.
31:18So you two will stay here forever?
31:22Yes.
31:24I see.
31:29Everyone watching Potsun to Ikkenya.
31:31From 10.15pm.
31:34There was someone who chased me from the hotel that day.
31:37It could be Kaede-san.
31:39Jun.
31:40This is...
31:41Forest.
31:44In the mountains of Kochi prefecture,
31:48the Yorioka couple live in a house called Tsui.
31:52In front of the house, which used to be a rice field,
31:57there is a large garden with a pond.
32:02So everything in front of the house was a rice field, right?
32:06Yes.
32:07It's getting bigger.
32:08Is it a rice field?
32:10Yes.
32:11There is a river in front of the house.
32:13I think this is a rice field built by the river.
32:17It's getting bigger.
32:20There is a river in the back.
32:22Yes.
32:23It's a small river.
32:25Is this also a rice field?
32:26Yes.
32:27It used to be a rice field.
32:28I see.
32:29They turned it into a pond.
32:31Usually, there is water.
32:33But in winter, it rains a lot.
32:36So there is no water now.
32:38It's not the season now.
32:40It's like a pond.
32:41That's right.
32:42It's like a pond with river water.
32:44That's right.
32:46If you make an island in the pond and make it round,
32:49there will be a pond.
32:51There is a shogun there.
32:55There was a baby karugamo there.
32:58What?
32:59There was a baby karugamo there.
33:00I often see the appearance of a baby karugamo.
33:03That's right.
33:04I was happy.
33:06It's cute.
33:07How many babies were there?
33:09There were six.
33:10Six.
33:11There were six babies.
33:12I thought there would be more babies.
33:15Is that true?
33:16That's right.
33:17I'm sure there will be more babies.
33:20I can see such a wonderful scenery here.
33:24It's cute, isn't it?
33:26Does Mayako like the garden?
33:29That's right.
33:31The left side looks like a garden.
33:34This is a rice field.
33:37I put a string on a bamboo and held it in my hand.
33:40My husband ran and drew a circle.
33:44It became like this.
33:46It's interesting.
33:47It's a human compass.
33:48It's interesting.
33:49It's interesting.
33:50I thought there was a round place in the satellite photo.
33:53Is that so?
33:54I was wondering what it was.
33:56It was this round garden.
33:58I see.
33:59I think so.
34:00I made the outside a pond.
34:02Is there water around here?
34:04Yes, there is water around here.
34:06The outside of the circle is a pond.
34:08I made it round.
34:11There is a big cherry blossom in the middle.
34:13This is a cherry blossom.
34:16It's like a terrace seat for cherry blossom viewing.
34:19That's right.
34:20It's fashionable.
34:21It's a garden chair.
34:22That's right.
34:23Do you have tea around here in spring?
34:25That's right.
34:26It's nice.
34:27It's a nice picture.
34:28It's wonderful.
34:29It's not like that.
34:31It's nice to have a cherry blossom viewing.
34:32That's right.
34:35It's beautiful.
34:36It seems to be cute.
34:37It's nice to have a cherry blossom viewing.
34:38It's good to have a friend coming.
34:40That's right.
34:41It's good to have a teacher or friend.
34:44Do you often have visitors?
34:45Yes.
34:46I see.
34:47You have a beautiful cherry blossom.
34:51Do you know what this blue color is?
34:53I don't know.
34:54It's called manjo-sage.
34:56It's a red flower.
34:57It's called higanbaru.
34:59I planted it one by one.
35:01The area around here is all red.
35:04So you're going to make a garden out of these flowers?
35:06Yes.
35:07Why did you want to make a garden out of these flowers?
35:09I love round things.
35:11I see.
35:13I want to hold hands and be friends with everyone.
35:16Like husband and wife.
35:22I want to make a round garden with all my heart.
35:27Your husband would love to hear that.
35:30Do you have other flowers that bloom every season?
35:34Yes.
35:35In spring, we have cherry blossoms.
35:38In summer, we have hydrangeas.
35:41And in autumn, we have beautiful maple leaves.
35:44How many types of flowers do you have?
35:46About 20 to 30.
35:49That's for sure.
35:51It must be hard to take care of them.
35:54My husband passed away.
35:56He passed away?
35:57He was hospitalized for a long time because of COVID-19.
35:59Really?
36:00He was hospitalized twice because of COVID-19.
36:02Twice?
36:03He had a high fever.
36:04I didn't do anything last year.
36:07I see.
36:08I dug a lot.
36:10That's a lot.
36:11I see.
36:12It's not just about beautiful flowers.
36:16It's also about weeds.
36:18So you're going to take care of them again?
36:21Yes.
36:22My husband has a job.
36:25He has a job now?
36:27He's the chief of the village.
36:30Is that so?
36:31He's the chief.
36:32He's a social worker.
36:33He's a social worker.
36:34He's a social worker.
36:35He does a lot of things.
36:36He does a lot of things.
36:37He does a lot of things.
36:38He's the chief.
36:39He introduced me to the chief.
36:40I see.
36:41The person who guided you was the chief.
36:44He's from a different village.
36:46He's from a different village?
36:47Yes.
36:48There are about 30 branches in the village.
36:51You mean the branch chief.
36:53I see.
36:54So the branch chief guided you to the branch chief's house.
36:56Yes.
36:57I see.
36:58There's a little garden behind here.
37:03Naohiko is enjoying it.
37:07Please come in.
37:09Naohiko.
37:10Is he here?
37:11He's here.
37:13He has a job.
37:15He's shy.
37:16He's shy.
37:17This place has a different atmosphere.
37:20It's a Japanese-style garden.
37:23Yes, it is.
37:24It's an interesting garden.
37:26We grow moss ourselves.
37:28That's great.
37:29Did you make this garden?
37:32Yes, I did.
37:34There's a lot of moss here.
37:36Yes.
37:37Naohiko used to live in Tokyo, but moved to Kochi 10 years ago.
37:46Now he works as an assistant teacher at a junior high school in Fumoto.
37:50He lives with his parents here.
37:54Did you buy this moss?
37:56No.
37:57I collect the moss around here and plant it.
38:00Do you just plant the moss you brought?
38:04I don't know much about it,
38:06but it's easy to grow moss depending on the location.
38:08The more you apply it, the more it survives.
38:10I see.
38:11It's a little different, isn't it?
38:13This is called hay moss.
38:15Hay moss?
38:16This is cedar moss.
38:17Oh, this is cedar moss.
38:19It's dry now, so it's closed.
38:21But it's a little swollen around here.
38:23I see.
38:24Is it because it looks like cedar?
38:26Yes.
38:27It looks like a cedar leaf.
38:28Yes, it looks like a cedar leaf.
38:30Did you like this garden originally?
38:32I grew up in Kyoto.
38:34I see.
38:35I knew a lot about cedar moss in temples.
38:37I see.
38:39Originally, the weeds were growing here.
38:42I see.
38:43I thought I could grow weeds as fast as I could.
38:46I see.
38:47There aren't many weeds.
38:48It's just moss and stones on one side.
38:50Yes.
38:51In the end, if you plant this moss,
38:52it's easy to pull out the weeds.
38:54I see.
38:55It's hard to pull out,
38:56but it's easy to pull out.
38:57I see.
38:58At first, it's beautiful.
38:59If you do it, it will be gradually...
39:00You like this kind of thing, don't you?
39:02I like it a lot.
39:03Do you?
39:04I've been watching it all the time when I'm taking a walk.
39:07Moss?
39:08There is such a good moss.
39:09There is such a moss in such a place.
39:15I put the freshly baked Atsu-Atsu in my mouth without seasoning it.
39:19The taste spreads in my mouth.
39:21I see.
39:23If you want to see Pocun and Ikkenya again,
39:26please subscribe to our channel.
39:33And this is a log house.
39:35I built this when I came back.
39:37You built this when you came back?
39:38Yes, I did.
39:39I see.
39:40Why did you make this a log house?
39:42I found it in a commercial.
39:45It's cheap.
39:46It's an architectural product.
39:48Is that so?
39:49At first, I thought it was cheap.
39:51If you put a lot of things in it, it's quite expensive.
39:53You put a lot of things in it, don't you?
39:55Yes.
39:56I put hundreds of thousands of things in it.
39:59I see.
40:00It cost more than I thought.
40:02I thought so.
40:03By the way, how much did it cost?
40:05It cost a lot.
40:07It cost about 2 million yen.
40:09Did it?
40:10I see.
40:11But it's a nice log house.
40:14Let's go inside.
40:15May I?
40:17I didn't notice this earlier, but it's nice.
40:19This?
40:20This is your husband, right?
40:21This is your wife, right?
40:22This is your husband, right?
40:23This is your wife, right?
40:24Yes.
40:25These two.
40:26These two, right?
40:27Yes.
40:28Welcome.
40:29What did you do with this?
40:30This is the last school.
40:33When I was teaching the kids, I made this in Japan.
40:38So, you made it for the class.
40:39That's right.
40:40You made it to teach them.
40:41That's right.
40:42I brought it home and put it in the entrance.
40:44That's nice.
40:45What is this made of? Clay?
40:47This is clay.
40:48I baked the clay.
40:49So, you welcome them with this.
40:51That's right.
40:52It's nice to have this in the entrance.
40:54It's nice.
40:55Excuse me.
40:56Yes, please.
40:58It's warm.
41:00Is that so?
41:01It's beautiful.
41:02It's like a beautiful tree.
41:05It's like a wooden house.
41:08It's nice.
41:09It's like a log house.
41:12Is that so?
41:13It's nice.
41:14It's like a firewood stove.
41:16It warms me up just by looking at it.
41:19What do you do with the firewood?
41:21I cut the firewood.
41:23Are you in charge of preparing the firewood?
41:27My husband does everything.
41:30He brings the firewood to the house.
41:34Is the firewood stove warmer?
41:36It's warmer because it's far away.
41:42I see.
41:43I see.
41:44You showed me your garden.
41:47I could tell that you have a lot of fun in your garden.
41:52What do you enjoy in your life here?
41:56Do you have any hobbies?
41:58It's fun to be surrounded by nature and live in the mountains.
42:07I like eating vegetables and fruits.
42:15That's nice.
42:17You can eat them as they are.
42:19That's right.
42:20I see.
42:22Two weeks after visiting Yorioka at the end of the year,
42:28the team heads to a house in the mountains of Kochi prefecture where the Yorioka couple live.
42:39Are other families here?
42:44Here they are.
42:47Excuse me.
42:50This is the entrance to the house.
42:55I'm sorry to bother you at the end of the year.
42:59Hello.
43:01Hello.
43:04Congratulations.
43:06I'm sorry to bother you at the end of the year.
43:09I'm glad to see you again.
43:14Congratulations.
43:16I'm sorry to bother you.
43:18I'm glad to see you again.
43:21I'm glad to see you again.
43:25Congratulations.
43:27Are you...
43:29I'm Norihiko, the eldest son.
43:31Nice to meet you.
43:34Norihiko, the eldest son, has been visiting the family for the first time in six months.
43:42When Norihiko passes away, he says he has something to do every time.
43:51Do you want me to give you a hand?
43:53Will you do it for me?
43:55Well, well, well.
43:56Look at this.
43:58Oh, he's doing something easy, such as a pull-up bar.
44:02Try doing a banzai.
44:04That felt really good.
44:07Okay, okay, okay.
44:09I don't know how to move my shoulders.
44:11But it's hard, right?
44:13It's hard.
44:14I'll push you a little.
44:16It doesn't feel good.
44:19Really.
44:21Is that a massage?
44:22That's right.
44:24When you get home...
44:26When I get home, I'm looking forward to it.
44:29I'm looking forward to you doing it.
44:32Do you usually do anything?
44:34I usually do rehab at work.
44:37I'm a pharmacist.
44:39You're a pharmacist?
44:41Then I'll give you a massage.
44:45Norihiko lives in Hyogo Prefecture with his wife and two children.
44:50He works as a pharmacist.
44:58When he comes here, he always gives his parents a massage like this.
45:05It's like a parent-child relationship.
45:07That's nice.
45:08Norihiko, do you come back often?
45:11I want to go home.
45:14I come back about twice a year.
45:16You want to go home.
45:17I want to go home.
45:18I like nature.
45:20I like living things.
45:21In summer, I like to catch shrimp.
45:24Shrimp?
45:25Long shrimp.
45:27And stone turtles come here to see eggs.
45:31Turtles?
45:32It's a lot of fun.
45:35The night sky is very beautiful.
45:37You might think it's an exaggeration to say that the stars are falling.
45:41It's that beautiful.
45:44I think it's my job to protect this land until the future.
45:53That's what I've been thinking lately.
45:56Are you two happy to be back?
46:00Yes.
46:01I used to live in the countryside.
46:07In the old days, I used to boil water with firewood and water from the river.
46:13But now, I can boil water if I want to.
46:16The toilet is a shower toilet.
46:19It's easy to live.
46:22You bring only good things from the countryside.
46:25And there is nature in the countryside.
46:27I think that's the best.
46:30It's a good place to live.
46:32Yes.
46:33I have a lot of experience living in the countryside.
46:38Hirosuke and Mayako left Kyoto for a long time.
46:41They chose to live in the countryside in their hometown.
46:48They live in a country that is not comparable to the old days.
46:55Naohiko and Norihiko love nature.
47:00They are kind sons.
47:02Their presence is reassuring.
47:06More than 550 years have passed since the Muromachi period.
47:10They continue to live in the land protected by their ancestors.
47:14They live a peaceful life surrounded by colorful flowers.
47:19They have been in love since childhood.
47:23They love this mountain.
47:26They will continue to live in the same time.
47:32It's wonderful.
47:33It's wonderful.
47:34It's good.
47:35It's good, isn't it?
47:36It's wonderful.
47:37It's good, isn't it?
47:38In a sense, it's paradise.
47:40It's paradise.
47:41It's paradise.
47:42That's right.
47:43This is paradise.
47:46His wife's dream was to build a garden in the garden.
47:50Her husband wanted to go back here.
47:52He wanted to put modern things in the log house.
47:54It's paradise.
47:55There are 20 to 30 kinds of flowers every season.
47:58It was busy and full of things to do.
48:01There was a cherry blossom in the garden.
48:03Two people were sitting in the garden.
48:05It's wonderful.
48:06It's good, isn't it?
48:07Grandparents and fathers have a villa like that.
48:10Grandchildren must have had a lot of fun.
48:13I had a lot of fun.
48:16It was an adventure.
48:17I really went on an adventure every day.
48:19It's an adventure because you meet things that don't exist in the city.
