00:00AOKUARE AOKUARE TOMOYO OMAETO
00:29Over the past few years, the number of abandoned houses has been increasing nationwide.
00:34A city in Kyoto, which has been reborn over and over again, is attracting attention.
00:40What is that?
00:43How did this magnificent project come to be?
00:52NISHINOKAZE, looking for a new value to change the city in a new way.
00:57This time, we have information about a brand in Fukuchiyama City, Kyoto Prefecture.
01:03Abandoned houses have transformed into a landmark of sightseeing.
01:06What is the project?
01:08Tour
01:10This time, the stage is Fukuchiyama City, located in the northwestern part of Kyoto Prefecture.
01:16The name is Fukuchiyama Castle, which was restored in 1965.
01:21It is a popular spot where you can see the whole city.
01:25What does it mean that the new landmark of sightseeing is an abandoned house?
01:32What are we going to investigate?
01:35Wow, it's a full speed dash.
01:37I'm Koushi Omura, an MBS announcer who came to Fukuchiyama Station.
01:40This time, I would like to run around and investigate Fukuchiyama City with my proud leg strength.
01:46Let's go.
01:47Oh, my legs are fast.
01:50I'm investigating in front of the station using my leg strength trained by my hobby.
01:55There is a lively shop.
01:58Look at the signboard.
02:00Yakisoba
02:02There are unbelievable words written on it.
02:06This is a B-class dish of Fukuchiyama that you can taste here.
02:15It looks like a normal yakisoba, but its name is unique.
02:20What kind of yakisoba is it, Mr. Kouemura?
02:26Unique?
02:27It's the opposite of yakisoba.
02:29It's raw yakisoba.
02:35Is it true?
02:40It's very elastic.
02:42It's very chewy.
02:47It's elastic and chewy.
02:49What is the name of the product?
02:52Rubber yakisoba
02:57It looks like a rubber, so it's called rubber yakisoba.
03:01The owner is Mr. Ariyuki Uemura.
03:08Mr. Uemura, is this rubber yakisoba okay?
03:13I'm Ariyuki Uemura, and I'm called Ari.
03:19It's fate.
03:21Uemura's last name is the same as his real name.
03:25I'm very happy, but I've never heard of the nickname Ari.
03:31Is that so?
03:32I've never heard of it.
03:34Let's ask Mr. Ari what he's looking for.
03:38That's right.
03:40I think it's the old Nakamutobe Elementary School.
03:44We'll find out if we go there.
03:46I've heard a lot of interesting stories, so please go there.
03:50I'll go.
03:52The old Nakamutobe Elementary School.
03:54It seems that this place has been reborn.
03:58Is it here?
03:59It's written here.
04:01It's the place where I was told about the Nakamutobe Elementary School.
04:05It's an abandoned school, but it's quite beautiful.
04:12Excuse me.
04:15The place that used to be a school building is now a space with a sense of freedom.
04:22Let's go to the school grounds.
04:26What's that?
04:28There's a vinyl house in the school grounds.
04:32That's right.
04:34There's a vinyl house in the school grounds.
04:38What is this?
04:40Excuse me.
04:43It's spacious.
04:46It's very spacious.
04:48And what is this?
04:51Look at this.
04:54It's a strawberry.
04:56They're growing strawberries.
04:58That's nice.
05:01The Nakamutobe Elementary School was abandoned in 2018.
05:06The school grounds where you can experience strawberry picking using this school grounds.
05:10The school grounds where you can experience strawberry picking using this school grounds.
05:18I recommend this place.
05:20It's a little big.
05:21It's big.
05:23It's really big.
05:30You can grow three kinds of strawberries here.
05:33You can eat as much as you want for 40 minutes.
05:41The smell is amazing.
05:43What kind of smell is this?
05:47I don't know.
05:50The Nakamutobe Elementary School is run by Inoue Co., Ltd., which has been operating an electrical equipment business in Fukuchiyama City for more than 70 years.
05:59They have been aiming for the automation of agriculture with the technology they have been using for many years.
06:03So, they paid attention to strawberry cultivation.
06:08But why was it the school grounds?
06:13We were looking for a lot of land.
06:15The school grounds are very sunny.
06:21It's a great place to grow strawberries.
06:24I see.
06:25Is there a reason why you chose strawberries instead of other crops?
06:30Yes.
06:31It's not just about picking and selling.
06:34I chose strawberries because I wanted to make something that would be fun for everyone to eat and enjoy.
06:43But it's not just the school grounds that are in use.
06:47The place that used to be a classroom is now a skating rink.
06:53And where was the principal's office?
06:57I'm curious.
06:58I've never been there.
07:01There are a lot of amazing things in the principal's office.
07:07Ms. Nishida, what do you think changed the principal's office?
07:13There are a lot of trampolines.
07:21There are a lot of tanks in the room.
07:24What is this?
07:29It's delicious.
07:31This is it, right?
07:32Yes.
07:34Actually, this is the brewery of craft beer.
07:38In the principal's office?
07:39In the principal's office?
07:44The raw materials, barley and hops, are grown with the local residents.
07:49Barley is crushed in the broadcast room next to the principal's office.
07:53The barley is fermented and aged in the school building.
07:59And in this cafe where the classroom has been renovated,
08:04you can drink freshly brewed craft beer.
08:10It's amazing, isn't it?
08:11The principal's office.
08:12Is it okay to do such a thing at school?
08:14I'm shocked.
08:16If you use the abandoned school as a facility,
08:19what kind of facility would you like to build?
08:21I'm looking forward to it.
08:23School is a place where you get scolded a lot.
08:27So, if you're a student, you can do what you couldn't do.
08:32For example, you can run.
08:34You can run on purpose.
08:36That's a good idea.
08:39That's a very good idea.
08:40Let's do that.
08:43Muto Base was reborn using the school building and the principal's office.
08:47It's a popular spot where 60,000 people visit every year.
08:51Actually,
08:52Fukuchiyama City has a lot of facilities that use the abandoned school as a facility.
08:58There are 10 of them in total.
09:02That many?
09:05There are campsites using the ground,
09:09group homes,
09:11and research facilities for companies.
09:14There are many ways to use them.
09:18In 2019, Fukuchiyama City launched the Abandoned School Reuse Project.
09:23It succeeded in reusing many abandoned schools in a short period of time.
09:27How did they do it?
09:30Let's find out.
09:32Abandoned schools are fun!
09:34Thank you very much.
09:36Nobuhiro Tsuchida, the Mayor of Fukuchiyama.
09:40Why are there more facilities using the abandoned school in Fukuchiyama?
09:45The number of abandoned schools is declining in Fukuchiyama.
09:52The population in Fukuchiyama is less than 15 years old.
09:55In 2010, the population decreased by 15% in 13 years.
10:00The number of abandoned schools in Fukuchiyama increased.
10:02In 2012, the number of abandoned schools decreased by 16 in 9 years.
10:08Even though the school was demolished,
10:11it didn't sell well.
10:14The school was built in a good condition.
10:17So it cost a lot of money to demolish the school.
10:22In addition to the huge cost,
10:24it was difficult to demolish a school with a lot of memories of the graduates.
10:29So...
10:30At first, we discussed with the local people
10:34whether we could continue to use the school facilities.
10:38But even though it was an elementary school,
10:40the facilities were too big.
10:43So it was difficult for the local people to use the school.
10:48It was difficult to manage the school,
10:50and it was difficult to run the school
10:52with only the local people.
10:56So we decided to collaborate with private companies
10:59and ask them to use the abandoned school.
11:02But there was a plan.
11:06In order for private companies to use the school,
11:08we formed a trust bank called Kyoto Bank in Kyoto.
11:13We worked with the local people to implement this plan.
11:17What? I've never heard of that.
11:21Now, the question.
11:23What was the plan that Tsuchida and the others came up with
11:27to appeal to private companies to use the school?
11:33I'm really sorry.
11:34I only have the brain now.
11:39What was the plan that Tsuchida and the others came up with
11:44to appeal to private companies to use the school?
11:50Today's song is Juice Juice's Tonight is a Party Party.
11:54Now, Flip, please write it down.
11:58In order to appeal to private companies to use the school,
12:01we need to figure out how to use the school.
12:06We need to figure out how to get to know the abandoned school.
12:16We have 10 seconds left.
12:18It's difficult.
12:19It's difficult.
12:27Now, Flip, please open it.
12:30Ta-da!
12:32This is a plan to completely destroy the abandoned school.
12:37It was fun to see a cookie box in the shape of a school as a souvenir.
12:46I thought we could drop something as a souvenir.
12:50There's an abandoned school like this.
12:52Is there anyone who wants to do something?
12:54We'll post a poster saying,
12:56We'll post a poster saying,
12:59And Kawashima-san...
13:01I'm really sorry.
13:03I made a mistake in the question.
13:08I want to hear it.
13:10I only think about running.
13:16This is what it looked like at the time.
13:19Wow, there are a lot of people.
13:23There are a lot of people in suits in front of the school.
13:27It looks like a tour with a flag, but actually...
13:31We took a bus from Kyoto Station to Fukuchiyama.
13:36We took a bus tour of the abandoned school in Fukuchiyama, including participants from companies.
13:43It's called the Abandoned School Matching Bus Tour.
13:48It was held for the first time in 2020.
13:5031 companies and 38 people participated, mainly small and medium-sized companies.
13:56Who actually participated?
13:58I think there were about three abandoned schools a day.
14:01They showed me the abandoned school and asked me how I wanted to use the abandoned school.
14:08They also made a place to exchange opinions.
14:12The companies who participated exchanged opinions on how to use the abandoned school while touring the abandoned school.
14:18New ideas were born, and they succeeded in appealing the possibility of using the abandoned school.
14:27In addition, there are other popular spots where abandoned schools have been renovated.
14:34I'm baking the skin of today's dorayaki.
14:37Here!
14:39It's true!
14:41Wow, it's just starting to swell.
14:44It's swelling.
14:46Wow, that's interesting.
14:49This abandoned school has transformed into a confectionery workshop.
14:56Satoyama Factory, which opened in 2020, is run by Adachi Otoemon, a Japanese-style confectionery shop in Fukuchiyama.
15:06The place that used to be a science room is now a confectionery workshop.
15:13In addition, the place that was used as a library is now a fashionable cafe with a white tea table.
15:22The classroom next door has been reborn as a confectionery shop.
15:26It's wonderful.
15:28There are various kinds of products.
15:31Ah!
15:34Chestnut terrine!
15:36This is a good price.
15:39Yes.
15:40Isn't this quite expensive?
15:42Yes, I think it's quite expensive.
15:47I think it's a good price, too.
15:50One expensive cake for 12,960 yen.
15:54One expensive cake for 12,960 yen.
15:58Two kinds of chestnut terrine, a large chestnut terrine and a European chestnut terrine, are used.
16:02The dough is made by adding French butter and hand-made Japanese salmon.
16:16The chestnut terrine is very sweet.
16:18When I eat it, I feel like I'm going to sweat.
16:22It's easy to eat, but it feels like it's condensed.
16:28I felt that it was a very good product.
16:36In fact, there is a secret that you can eat this cake for a very good price.
16:41Look at this.
16:44If you look closely at the cake, it says today's trial cake.
16:51What does that mean?
16:53It's a cake that you can eat for a good price every day.
16:59A trial cake with one in six pieces.
17:02It costs 2,160 yen per piece, but you can eat it for 540 yen at a cafe.
17:09It's a good price.
17:13Satoyama Factory, which has renovated the building, is a popular place where 20,000 people visit every year.
17:21And it has a great influence on the people in the area.
17:26Some people in the area actually work at our company.
17:32The children in the neighborhood also come to visit the school.
17:36They use it as a neighborhood park.
17:40Elementary school is an important place for the people in the area.
17:45Therefore, Fukuchiyama City is working hard to listen to the demands of the local residents before letting the company take advantage of it.
17:54For example, there is a cherry tree at the graduation ceremony.
17:58I don't want you to cut it.
18:00Or I want you to leave the evacuation center as it is.
18:03At Satoyama Factory, I want you to continue to use the school as a training place for the fire brigade.
18:11Based on the demands of the area, what do the locals think about the use of the school?
18:19It's a very good thing.
18:21I think it's very good that people in the area are taking advantage of it.
18:35In addition, the school was reborn with an unexpected use.
18:40It looks like a school, but what is this place?
18:44This is a classroom that was decided to take advantage of by participating in the abandoned school matching bus tour.
18:49It's a very rare use.
18:53Here's the problem.
18:56This abandoned school was reborn with a unique use in Kyoto.
19:01What the hell happened?
19:05Wow!
19:08No way!
19:14This abandoned school was reborn with a unique use in Kyoto.
19:18What the hell happened?
19:23This abandoned school was reborn with a unique use in Kyoto.
19:27It's a school that's based on Kyoto.
19:34Based on the image of Kyoto, I think it's a school that's a little closer to this facility.
19:51Now, let's open the Flip!
19:54Ta-da!
19:55First, Ms. Uemura.
19:56I thought this place was suitable because there was a lot of pickles and the temperature was high.
20:09I thought it was a facility where you could wear, rent, and buy a kimono.
20:14In Kyoto, you can use it to take pictures with the school.
20:22There are a lot of tourists, so I thought it would be nice if they could stay at a hotel or something like that.
20:40We asked them to show us around the school building.
20:48There are kimonos lined up!
20:52No way!
20:55There are a lot of kimonos lined up on the tatami.
20:58Actually, this is the kimono product management center.
21:03Yay!
21:06I'm getting a little excited.
21:09We're almost at the end of the show.
21:11It's still going on.
21:13Let me do the first question.
21:16Kyosen, a Japanese clothing manufacturer based in Kyoto City.
21:23This is where you can rent kimonos and hakama.
21:30Look at this.
21:32Is this an obi?
21:34That's right.
21:35All the obi used for the graduation ceremony hakama are stored here.
21:39We store them in each classroom.
21:44The classroom is mainly used as a storage space for kimonos.
21:47They are stored in different categories.
21:53Ironing and repairing kimonos returned from rentals are also done here.
22:02And the large gymnasium is also a storage space for materials and kimonos.
22:07But why was it this place among the many abandoned schools?
22:12It's because it's the closest to Kyoto.
22:16Also, it doesn't snow here.
22:19So we try to find places like this in Kuchiyama.
22:24Abandoned schools are rich in buildings.
22:27Their potential is limitless.
22:30Abandoned schools are school facilities.
22:32So there's a lot of potential.
22:34I think it's a great treasure for the local community,
22:38as well as for the local community.
22:42Abandoned schools are places where you can be born again after completing your original role.
22:48The treasures of the city are hidden in the places you are familiar with.
22:56Uemura-san, please give us a word of closure.
23:00I became a fan number one of the charm of abandoned schools.
23:04Strawberry.
23:06Oh!
23:07Because of the strawberry?
23:09That's right.
23:10Kawashima-san, how was it?
23:12It was the best.
23:14She's looking straight ahead.
23:17Next time, we visit the only village in Kyoto that was in danger of disappearing.
23:21600,000 people visit the road station that was born here every year.
23:25What are they looking for?
23:27Matcha is really good.
23:30Everywhere is full of matcha.
23:32What kind of matcha is it?
