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?
00:17Can I get in the car?
00:19Yes, you can.
00:20I can't get in.
00:21You can't?
00:22I can't get in.
00:24It's so hard to climb up the hill.
00:28It's amazing how you can use this day in your daily life.
00:32How did you live?
00:34With a lamp.
00:35A lamp?
00:36It's true.
00:37It's a goyamoguro.
00:39Did you burn firewood?
00:41Yes, I did.
00:42Did you cut firewood yourself?
00:44Yes, I did.
00:45I did it myself.
00:46You did it yourself?
00:47This is a kabura.
00:49A kabura?
00:50It's big.
00:51It's really big.
00:52It's so big.
00:54Yes, it is.
00:57Tonight, we'll look at a mysterious house found in a satellite image.
01:04A great Japanese creation.
01:08The Potsunto House
01:15What do you think of the Potsunto House?
01:19I don't know what people think of it.
01:22It's like a city.
01:24I used to run around Noyama all the time.
01:27When I'm in Tokyo, I get suffocated.
01:30Sometimes, I have to go out.
01:32It's totally different from your image.
01:34Is it?
01:35What do you think, Tsutomu?
01:36I really admire it.
01:39You look like you'd be in a village.
01:41People say that a lot.
01:43But I look like a city boy.
01:45A city boy?
01:47This is the Potsunto House.
01:49The Potsunto House
01:51It's located in Okayama, China.
01:53It's in the middle of a mountain in the north.
01:56It's so beautiful.
01:58It's in the middle of a mountain.
02:00I can't see the road.
02:03Is the house a thumbnail?
02:06Is this a rice field or a field?
02:09There are many hills in front of the house.
02:13In Okayama, grapes are famous.
02:18Maybe there is a grape shelf on the tree.
02:22There is a low tree on the left.
02:26Maybe it's a grape shelf.
02:28Maybe.
02:29It's not for the elderly.
02:32It's for people in their 50s.
02:34Maybe they came here for a solo life.
02:38There was a place like that, but they didn't live there.
02:40Maybe a couple in their 50s bought that place and grew grapes there.
02:45It's fashionable.
02:46I see.
02:47I'm a strong man.
02:50You're a strong man.
02:52I'm not talking about my body shape.
02:54I think people who live in places like this
02:57have the image of being able to move every day.
02:59I think people who live in places like this have the image of being able to move every day.
03:02What about your wife?
03:03My wife might not be here.
03:05Maybe your wife passed away.
03:07I don't know.
03:08Maybe she was abandoned.
03:10Maybe a man lives here alone.
03:13Maybe he lives with animals.
03:15Do you have a dog or a cat around here?
03:17I have a goat.
03:18Do you have a goat?
03:19Yes.
03:20I see.
03:21They are looking for a house in Okayama that they found in a satellite photo.
03:26They start searching from the neighboring village.
03:31Wow.
03:33It's a mountainous area.
03:37Yes, it is.
03:38The road is winding.
03:40Yes, it is.
03:41There are many curves on the right and on the left.
03:45It's a steep curve.
03:47We've been driving for a long time.
03:49There should be a neighboring village ahead.
03:52Let's go there first.
03:54It's a wide road.
03:56Yes, it is.
03:59We can see a house ahead.
04:04Yes, we can.
04:05There is a building.
04:07It's amazing.
04:08The roof is great.
04:10It's a black tile roof with a wall of concrete.
04:13All the houses in this village are great.
04:15Yes, they are.
04:16It's like a mansion.
04:18That's true.
04:19There is a garden.
04:21There is a man.
04:24He is sitting and working.
04:27Let's ask him.
04:29There is a mansion in this house, too.
04:31There are many mansions in Okayama.
04:37Hello.
04:38Hello.
04:39Excuse me.
04:41I'm from a TV program called Potsun to Ikkenya.
04:47I'd like to ask you for directions.
04:49May I?
04:50Yes.
04:52What were you doing?
04:54I was cleaning up the persimmon tree in Asagao.
05:00You were cleaning up the persimmon tree in Asagao.
05:04Yes, I was cleaning it up.
05:06You are kind.
05:08Excuse me.
05:09There is a satellite image.
05:12I think it's around here.
05:16I'm aiming for the mark.
05:18Here?
05:19Yes.
05:20Do you know where it is?
05:23I think this is Mr. Honda's house.
05:27Mr. Honda?
05:28Yes.
05:29Do you know where it is?
05:31He was alone.
05:33He died when he was 100 years old three or four years ago.
05:41He died.
05:43Was there a 100-year-old man?
05:45Yes.
05:46Was he alone?
05:47He died when he was 100 years old.
05:49Mr. Honda.
05:50I've heard that his son is coming back now.
05:58Is that so?
05:59His son is coming back?
06:00If you zoom in, you can see his house like this.
06:04I think so.
06:07Mr. Honda lived alone until he was 100 years old, right?
06:12Yes.
06:13That's amazing.
06:14After the war, he built this house.
06:18After the war?
06:19Did he build this house by himself?
06:22That's right.
06:25I heard that.
06:26I don't know exactly.
06:28He made pears and watermelons.
06:31Did he make fruits here?
06:33He made fruits and vegetables.
06:36Mr. Honda is the owner of the house.
06:41After the war, he grew vegetables and fruits on the mountain he built.
06:46Mr. Honda lived alone until he was 100 years old.
06:51Unfortunately, he died three or four years ago.
06:56However, his son is still coming back to the house.
07:04I'm just going to the house, but I can't get in.
07:08I can't get in because of the car.
07:11You can't get in?
07:12I can't get in.
07:14You can't get in because of the car?
07:16I can't get in.
07:17You can't get in?
07:18I have to walk.
07:19Do you have to walk to get in?
07:22Yes.
07:23I see.
07:24High-speed cars go through here.
07:27I don't know if I can get in.
07:30It's a narrow road.
07:31That's right.
07:32I see.
07:33I'll show you the way.
07:35No, no, no.
07:36I have to work now.
07:38No, no, no.
07:39I have to work now.
07:41Can I?
07:42Yes, you can.
07:43Thank you very much.
07:44We'll get the car ready.
07:46Yes.
07:47I'm sorry.
07:48It's a program to show people the way.
07:56Let's follow him.
07:57Yes.
07:58I'm glad you know him.
08:00I'm glad.
08:01It looks like this is Mr. Honda's house.
08:04Yes.
08:05He lived here until he was 100 years old.
08:08Unfortunately, he passed away a few years ago.
08:13But maybe his son came to visit him.
08:18Let's check his house.
08:21I'm glad you can show me the way.
08:24That's right.
08:25It's helpful.
08:26But he said he can only go halfway by car.
08:31He said he'd walk halfway.
08:33And it's raining.
08:36The road gets narrower from here.
08:42It's a huge tunnel.
08:44It's huge.
08:46This is right under the highway in the satellite photo.
08:50That's right.
08:51It's a very long tunnel.
08:54It's very long.
08:56It's a rare shape.
08:57You have to go through it.
08:59It's not a semicircle.
09:00It's a semicircle.
09:01But what is it?
09:03Wow.
09:05It's true.
09:07The road is getting narrower.
09:09It's a dirt road.
09:11It's not paved at all.
09:14Wait a minute.
09:16There are a lot of fallen leaves.
09:18I don't know why.
09:19It's slippery in the rain.
09:21Wow.
09:22It's amazing.
09:23Are you going this way?
09:25It's true.
09:27As I said, it's a very steep road.
09:31It's dangerous.
09:33No, no, no.
09:34It's dangerous.
09:36It's just before the light truck in front of us.
09:40It's narrow.
09:42I can't see the bottom of the cliff on the right.
09:45I can't see the bottom.
09:46Is the river flowing?
09:48It's like a valley.
09:49It's a great road.
09:50The surroundings are covered with trees.
09:52I don't know.
09:53It's amazing.
09:55Can we come back where we went?
09:58That's right.
10:00Can we stop here?
10:02There is a brake lamp.
10:04We stopped.
10:05Is this the end?
10:06Is this the end?
10:07We stopped.
10:08Can we get off?
10:10Is this the end?
10:12Let's get off.
10:18Is this the end?
10:20I think so.
10:23Is this the end?
10:24Is this the end?
10:25Do we have to turn right?
10:26Let's go together.
10:28Can we go together?
10:29I'd like to see how far we can go.
10:32Thank you very much.
10:35This is as far as we can go by car.
10:38It's still about 1 km from here.
10:42It's a long way.
10:44Mr. Yamaoka will show us the way.
10:48It's a long way.
10:49It's a mountain road.
10:51It's a great road.
10:53And it's raining.
10:54I'm sorry.
10:55The tree fell down.
10:57Is this a power line?
10:59If it wasn't for the power line, it would have fallen down.
11:01I'm scared.
11:03I'm scared.
11:04Is it okay?
11:05Let's go to the charging station.
11:07We have to talk to the power company.
11:10I didn't know such a big tree fell down.
11:13It's a narrow road.
11:15It's a narrow road.
11:17There was a crossroad.
11:19There is a trace of a car.
11:23I don't know if someone came here.
11:26If you're used to driving, can you drive here on a light truck?
11:31If it's not 4WD...
11:33It's slippery because it's raining.
11:37There's a thin river on the right.
11:41The water here doesn't dry up.
11:44The water doesn't dry up.
11:45The water flows slowly.
11:47It's a beautiful water.
11:48It's a beautiful water.
11:50In the old days, people used to use the water from the well.
11:54I used to use it at home.
11:56I don't use it anymore.
11:58Does this pipe lead to the original village?
12:02Individuals used to use it.
12:05Did you use this river water for your daily life?
12:09Did everyone draw water from your house?
12:12Yes.
12:13It's a beautiful water.
12:15But Mr. Honda's house is on the mountain.
12:20So I don't know what happened to the water.
12:22I see.
12:23Did you meet Mr. Honda?
12:25No, I didn't meet him at all.
12:28Why did you know Mr. Honda's house?
12:31He used to run a small factory.
12:34He took the rice with his mother.
12:41He used to make rice with this rice.
12:46I see.
12:47He was young.
12:48He was in the first grade of elementary school.
12:52It was more than 60 years ago.
12:58Mr. Honda's house is located deep in the mountains.
13:03Mr. Honda's house is located deep in the mountains.
13:09Until Mr. Honda was over 100 years old, he lived alone.
13:16How is his house now?
13:21It's relaxing to walk in nature.
13:26But it's hard to climb.
13:29I'm out of breath.
13:31I think we're almost there.
13:33We're almost there.
13:35We've walked a long way.
13:38It's a steep slope.
13:40It's a steep slope.
13:42It's amazing that we can use this road for our daily life.
13:49Wait a minute.
13:50Isn't that amazing?
13:52Isn't that like a building?
13:54I can't see it well because of the leaves.
13:56I can see it.
13:58I can see the house suddenly.
14:01Is that Mr. Honda's house?
14:02Yes.
14:03That's amazing.
14:05He built a house.
14:07He brought the fruit from there.
14:11That's amazing.
14:13I'm getting tired.
14:15That's amazing.
14:16There's a great stone wall in the middle of the mountain.
14:19There's a stone wall.
14:20That's right.
14:21It's brighter in the back.
14:23If you go through the forest...
14:25I can see the house.
14:26It's here.
14:30Excuse me.
14:32Excuse me.
14:35We came up the forest from this way.
14:38That's right.
14:39We've been walking on a narrow road.
14:41That's right.
14:42There's a light gray building in front of us.
14:46That's it.
14:47There are two buildings lined up.
14:50It's here.
14:51Is this Mr. Honda's house?
14:55It's a good place.
14:57That's amazing.
15:00Finally, we arrived at the first house in Okayama Prefecture, which we found in the satellite photo.
15:09In a vast forest where dark green and red and brown trees attack each other.
15:15At the entrance of the private house, which was cut open only there.
15:20An old open-air house and a two-story building were standing against the wall.
15:27Compared to the satellite photo, the surrounding green has changed color due to the difference in seasons.
15:35The layout of the building and the line of the field are all the same.
15:41There is no doubt here.
15:46The building is a dirt wall.
15:49I feel the history.
15:51Hello.
15:53Hello.
15:55Hello.
15:57Is anyone here?
15:59This is Mr. Honda's house.
16:02There is a postcard.
16:04If you need anything, please contact us.
16:08It says Honda.
16:10Why don't you make a phone call?
16:13I left my cell phone in the car.
16:16Me, too.
16:18Hey.
16:20I see.
16:22Do you have a cell phone now?
16:24I'm glad.
16:26Do you have a cell phone?
16:28No.
16:29I don't have a cell phone.
16:31If you don't get off the car, you won't have a cell phone.
16:34I see.
16:36I'm sorry to bother you.
16:39Thank you very much.
16:41Let's get off the car and get in touch.
16:45I'm afraid I'll forget to get off the car.
16:48That's because you took a picture.
16:51He walked down the mountain again.
16:57He said goodbye to Mr. Yamaoka, who was kind to him all the time.
17:04The search team went back to where the radio was.
17:08They decided to call Mr. Honda.
17:11It's hard.
17:15Is it connected?
17:18It's connected.
17:23Hello.
17:25I'm Kurokawa from the program called Potsunto Ikkenya.
17:30Yes.
17:31Are you Mr. Honda?
17:33Yes.
17:34I'm sorry to call you suddenly.
17:36Is your cell phone okay now?
17:38Yes.
17:39I'm sorry.
17:40I found a picture of Mr. Honda's house in the satellite photo.
17:46Mr. Honda guided me to his house.
17:50I walked to his house.
17:53I see.
17:55He told me to call this number.
17:59So I called his house.
18:02I live in Kurashiki now.
18:06Kurashiki?
18:08I go there once a week.
18:12Do you live in Kurashiki now?
18:15Yes.
18:16I see.
18:17I live in my father's house.
18:22Do you live in your father's house?
18:25When will you come here again?
18:29It depends on the weather.
18:32It depends on the weather?
18:33Yes.
18:34I see.
18:35It's dangerous when it rains.
18:38Can I meet you and talk to you?
18:43Yes.
18:44I see.
18:45I'm sorry to call you again.
18:47Yes.
18:48I'm sorry to call you again.
18:50I'm sorry to call you again.
18:51I'm sorry to call you again.
18:52I'm sorry to call you again.
18:53On the day when Mr. Honda, who lives in Kurashiki, comes,
18:57the search team heads to the house in the mountains of Okayama Prefecture.
19:06It's hard.
19:08It's very steep.
19:10It's hard.
19:11It's hard.
19:13Mr. Honda, who lived to be about 100 years old,
19:17must have walked this road many times in his life.
19:22That's right.
19:23It's amazing.
19:25It's rare for him to take a step down.
19:30I can see the roof of the building up there.
19:35There it is.
19:36It's true.
19:37It's here.
19:39I'll be there in a little while.
19:42Wait a minute.
19:43There's a car over there.
19:45What?
19:46You can go there by car?
19:47Yes.
19:48Over there?
19:49If you're used to it, you can go there.
19:51Is that Mr. Honda's car?
19:54I think so.
19:56Wait a minute.
19:57Did you come all the way here by car?
19:59This road?
20:00It's amazing.
20:01There's a lot to walk.
20:04How did this car get up there?
20:07There's a person.
20:08Hello.
20:09Hello.
20:10Nice to meet you.
20:11Are you Mr. Honda?
20:13That's right.
20:14Oh, I'm sorry.
20:16Thank you for calling me the other day.
20:19I'm Kurokawa from Totsuta Ikeya.
20:22I finally found you.
20:24What?
20:26I finally found you.
20:29Nice to meet you.
20:31It's an amazing road, isn't it?
20:34Wait a minute.
20:35Mr. Honda, did you come here by car?
20:37That's right.
20:38What?
20:39Can you drive on this road?
20:41Yes, I can.
20:43Is it a four-wheel drive car?
20:44Yes, it is.
20:45It's a four-wheel drive car, so it's hard to get up there by car.
20:50Excuse me.
20:51My name is Kurokawa.
20:53Is that so?
20:54Nice to meet you.
20:55I've always seen you on TV.
20:57Thank you very much.
21:00I finally met him.
21:03He is Mr. Honda, the current owner of Totsuta Ikeya in Okayama Prefecture.
21:09He is 82 years old.
21:1182 years old?
21:14I can see a building on a magnificent stone wall.
21:18My father built it.
21:20Is this a stone wall?
21:22It's amazing.
21:25It's made of iron.
21:27Did you build it by hand?
21:28Yes, I did.
21:29Did you use a machine gun?
21:30No, I didn't.
21:31You didn't?
21:32I built it by myself.
21:33By yourself?
21:34Where did you get this stone wall?
21:37It's amazing.
21:38You've built a lot of stone walls.
21:41It must have taken a lot of time and effort.
21:44That's right.
21:45I'm just a kid, so I don't know much about it, but it took me months.
21:50It must have taken you months.
21:52This is the house your father built, right?
21:55That's right.
21:56I moved here in 2005.
21:58In 2005?
21:59Yes.
22:00Is this a wooden house?
22:03That's right.
22:04It used to be a straw roof.
22:07A straw roof?
22:08It was a stone roof.
22:09Yes, a straw roof.
22:10A straw roof?
22:11Yes.
22:12It's a nice picture.
22:13Yes, it is.
22:14It's shaped like a wave now.
22:18It's a slate.
22:19A slate?
22:20Yes.
22:21How many years has this house been built?
22:24It's been about 77 years.
22:2777 years?
22:28Yes.
22:29I heard that your father built this house by himself.
22:35That's right.
22:36By himself.
22:37By himself?
22:38Yes.
22:39My father also painted the walls.
22:42Did your father make all the walls?
22:45Was your father a carpenter?
22:47No, he wasn't a carpenter.
22:49He wasn't a carpenter, but he built a house?
22:52Yes, he was a carpenter.
22:56I see.
22:57Did you build this house by yourself?
23:01That's right.
23:02My father was a carpenter.
23:06I see.
23:07Did it take a long time to build a house by yourself?
23:12Yes, it did.
23:14It took two or three years.
23:16It took two or three years to build a house by yourself?
23:20Yes.
23:21How did you take care of the house?
23:23I borrowed the house from my stepmother.
23:28I was young, so I didn't know much about the house.
23:32Did your father come here every day?
23:36Yes, he did.
23:38That's amazing.
23:40How old were you at the time?
23:43I was about five years old.
23:46Do you still have memories of that time?
23:50Yes, I do.
23:52It's a good picture.
23:54Why did you build a house in the mountains?
23:58There must have been someone who took care of the house.
24:02Who lived in this house?
24:05My father, mother, and I.
24:10Three people?
24:11Yes, three people.
24:13Do you have any siblings?
24:16No, I don't.
24:18My father passed away when I was born.
24:23So, I'm the only child.
24:27What?
24:28Are you the only child?
24:30Yes.
24:31You were born soon after your father passed away.
24:33My father passed away.
24:35So, I'm the only child.
24:37My mother passed away when I was born.
24:41So, I'm the only child.
24:44There must have been someone who took care of the house.
24:48Do you still have memories of your father?
24:52No, I don't.
24:53I know my mother.
24:56I met her when I was in junior high school.
25:00I didn't know her.
25:02You didn't know her?
25:04I knew her after I graduated from junior high school.
25:07You didn't know that she took care of the house until you graduated from junior high school?
25:11No, I didn't.
25:12I see.
25:14My mother took care of the house.
25:20My mother is more than my real mother.
25:25I didn't have anything to eat at the time of the war.
25:30So, she cooked for us.
25:34She cooked for you?
25:35Yes.
25:36So, she fed you because you didn't have to eat.
25:44Yes.
25:45After I came here, I went to Kampan.
25:47I went to Okayama by bicycle.
25:56Wait a minute.
25:57You went to Okayama from here?
25:59No, I didn't.
26:00I went to a place called Tencho.
26:04I went there by bicycle.
26:06How far is it from here?
26:08It's about 70 kilometers on one way.
26:1070 kilometers on one way?
26:12By bicycle, not by car?
26:13Yes, by bicycle.
26:1470 kilometers?
26:16And there was a mountain road.
26:19I borrowed a bicycle.
26:23You didn't have a bicycle at home?
26:25No.
26:26Wow.
26:28Did you live here with your family for a long time?
26:33Yes.
26:34I was in the fourth grade of elementary school.
26:37My mother passed away.
26:40What?
26:41Your mother passed away?
26:43Yes.
26:44She was sick.
26:45Was she sick?
26:46Yes.
26:47She was 42 years old.
26:48She was 42 years old.
26:49She was very young.
26:50Yes.
26:51Did you live with your father from then on?
26:56We lived together for about a year.
26:59About a year?
27:00After that, we remarried.
27:03Who is your wife?
27:04Her name is Sugiko.
27:06Sugiko.
27:07I have a younger sister.
27:09Did you get introduced to her?
27:10Yes.
27:11Did you live with three people again?
27:14No, I have a younger sister.
27:16A younger sister?
27:17I brought her here.
27:19You remarried with Sugiko.
27:20Yes.
27:21In the end, you lived with four people in this house.
27:25It was lively.
27:27It was lively.
27:28I heard that your father lived here until he was 100 years old.
27:34Yes.
27:35He passed away when he was 104 years old.
27:38He was 5 years old.
27:40104 years old?
27:42That's amazing.
27:45Did your father have no intention of leaving this house?
27:48He told me that he wanted to live here.
27:51I told him that I wanted to live here.
27:55Why did you want to live here?
27:59It was a place that I developed.
28:02So, I was happy to live here.
28:05It was a house that you worked hard to build.
28:08Yes.
28:09It was not easy.
28:11I had a hard time.
28:12That's amazing.
28:14Where did your father live originally?
28:17He was born in a neighboring town.
28:19He was born in a neighboring town in Okayama.
28:21Yes.
28:22He was born in a neighboring town.
28:25My father went to Hokkaido to develop.
28:29I followed him.
28:31Did your father go to Hokkaido to develop when you were a child?
28:34Yes.
28:35Did he come back?
28:36Yes.
28:37He was taken by the army during the war.
28:39He went to different places.
28:42Did he go to various places and come to Okayama?
28:46Yes.
28:52From 10.15 p.m. tonight,
28:54the final episode of FOREST.
28:57Why do you look at me like that?
28:59There is no lie.
29:01People make lies.
29:03For someone.
29:04For yourself.
29:05The final episode of FOREST.
29:07There are two buildings lined up.
29:11I used to make tobacco.
29:13There is a tobacco drying room.
29:15It's a place to dry tobacco.
29:17The tall building in the back is a tobacco drying room.
29:22I see.
29:23Tobacco.
29:26So you were a tobacconist.
29:28Yes.
29:29Where did you make tobacco?
29:31In the back of this building.
29:33In the back of this building?
29:35There is a construction site.
29:36Yes.
29:38Excuse me.
29:41This building is quite open.
29:43It looks like a field.
29:45Yes.
29:46Did you grow tobacco here?
29:48Yes.
29:50When did you start making tobacco?
29:52When I was in junior high school,
29:54I helped out during the summer vacation.
29:57Did you do it yourself?
29:58I was in junior high school or not.
30:01You made tobacco about 70 years ago.
30:05By the way, did you make pear or watermelon in the past?
30:10No, I didn't.
30:11Is that so?
30:12My father liked to make various things.
30:15I heard that you exchanged things.
30:18When I got home in the morning,
30:20I took it to the village below
30:22and exchanged it with rice.
30:25Is that so?
30:29Why didn't you make rice here?
30:32As you can see, this is a hill.
30:36I couldn't get enough water.
30:38I see.
30:39That's why I couldn't make rice.
30:41I see.
30:42So, this building is for drying tobacco.
30:45That's right.
30:46This building is a little high.
30:48Is it a two-story building?
30:49Yes, it is.
30:51To dry tobacco,
30:53we hang it on a rope.
30:55Then, we hang it on both sides.
30:59You tie the leaves with a rope and hang them.
31:01That's right.
31:02I see.
31:03There is a pipe at the bottom.
31:06We dry it with that heat.
31:08We don't have a pipe.
31:10I see.
31:11Did you ship it somewhere?
31:13That's right.
31:14Wait a minute.
31:15Did you carry the tobacco leaves on this mountain road?
31:19That's right.
31:20What?
31:21How did you carry it?
31:23I carried it with a sleigh.
31:25A sleigh?
31:26It's called a horse.
31:27A horse?
31:28Yes.
31:29I see.
31:32Did you load the tobacco leaves and carry them by hand?
31:35That's right.
31:36When I got to the bottom of the mountain, I carried it by car.
31:39Oh, I see.
31:40When I stopped the car, I carried it by sleigh.
31:44I see.
31:45I see.
31:46In the old days, we grilled charcoal.
31:49That's right.
31:50That's why we carried charcoal.
31:52Did you grill charcoal, not just tobacco leaves?
31:54Yes, I did.
31:55Did you have a kiln to grill in the mountains?
31:59Yes, I did.
32:00I worked at a steel mill in the town.
32:06Did you work at a steel mill?
32:08Yes, I did.
32:09I see.
32:11How long did you make tobacco leaves?
32:15I don't know how long I made them.
32:18How old were you, Mr. Yoshio?
32:21I was out all the time.
32:23Were you out of the house?
32:25Yes, I was out of the house.
32:26I was a trainee at another farm in the neighboring town.
32:32Did you work as a farmer?
32:35Yes, I worked as a farmer.
32:37I worked as a farmer for about two years.
32:39After that, I worked at a company.
32:44I worked at a rubber company in Akashi City.
32:48A rubber company?
32:49What kind of rubber did you make?
32:51I made shoes.
32:53Did you make shoes and sneakers?
32:55Yes, I did.
32:56Did you make shoes and sneakers?
32:58After that, I worked at a company called JFE in Kurashiki.
33:03It's a steel mill in Kawasaki.
33:06I was a driver.
33:07A driver?
33:08Yes, I was a truck driver.
33:09You were a truck driver?
33:11I drove a crane, a shovel, and a trailer.
33:15You were a truck driver for large trucks and heavy machinery?
33:20Yes.
33:21How old did you work there?
33:24I worked there until I was 70.
33:25Until you were 70?
33:26Yes.
33:28What did you do after you quit your job?
33:31I quit my job.
33:33My father got sick, so I took him to the hospital.
33:39You took care of your father.
33:42What did your father do at the end?
33:44He was hospitalized in a hospital in the neighboring town.
33:50Was he hospitalized at the end?
33:52He was hospitalized in a hospital in the neighboring town.
33:57I somehow made it to the hospital.
34:01I somehow made it to the hospital.
34:03I'm glad I made it.
34:07What did your father say at the end?
34:11A few days before he died,
34:15I told him that I had a hard life.
34:21I told him that I had a hard life.
34:23He had a hard time.
34:25He had a hard time.
34:29Mr. Fusataro left his hometown in Okayama when he was a child
34:34with his parents who had moved to Hokkaido.
34:40After that, he was drafted in the Second World War
34:44and went to war in China.
34:49After returning home, he chose Okayama as his hometown.
34:54When he was 33 years old,
34:56he built a house on his own
35:00and started living with his family
35:03by cutting down the forest in the mountains by himself.
35:06Mr. Fusataro lived alone
35:09until he passed away at the age of 104.
35:13This is his one-room house.
35:17The inside of the house where he lost his master nine years ago.
35:35If you want to see the movie again,
35:38you can watch it on TVer.
35:40If you subscribe to it, it will be even more convenient.
35:43It's scary.
35:45By the way, we saw this and called you the other day.
35:48Do you get any other calls?
35:51Sometimes.
35:52Sometimes?
35:53People who come to see the electricity bill
35:57call me.
35:59They come to check.
36:01It's about how many times a year.
36:05Are all the buildings made by your father?
36:09That's right.
36:11Can I come in?
36:12Of course.
36:13Excuse me.
36:15Is this concrete?
36:17No, it's clay.
36:19Oh, it's clay.
36:21The electricity didn't come here in the past.
36:24It didn't come until I graduated from junior high school.
36:27How did you live?
36:29With a lamp.
36:30A lamp?
36:32Is this the lamp you used in the past?
36:34Yes, it was.
36:37Wow, I can feel the history.
36:40Is this an oil lamp?
36:42Yes, it is.
36:43It's an oil lamp.
36:44Do you put oil in the bottom?
36:46Yes, I do.
36:47I lift this glass and light it with a match.
36:49Do you lift this up?
36:51Yes, I do.
36:52Can I hold it?
36:53Yes.
36:54Oh, it's true.
36:55I lift it up like this.
36:58Yes.
36:59This is a child's job to clean up the inside.
37:04The inside gets dirty with soot.
37:08So, I hold the inside with my hand.
37:11I see.
37:12Because the child's hand is small,
37:14you hold the inside and clean it up.
37:17I see.
37:19This is the only one left.
37:22In the past, there were two lamps like this.
37:24Two?
37:25Yes.
37:26Wait a minute.
37:27There were only two?
37:28Yes, there were only two.
37:30What?
37:31So, you basically lived in the dark?
37:34Yes, I did.
37:36I see.
37:38There are various papers on the wall.
37:41My father collected them and put them up.
37:45Your father collected them and put them up?
37:47Yes.
37:48Is this called the path of the heart?
37:50One.
37:51If you always take the first step in the present, you will always be full of hope.
37:58It's like a statement of life.
38:00Yes.
38:01I think it was brought by a pharmacy.
38:04A pharmacy?
38:05Yes.
38:06I think he liked to put it up.
38:08Great.
38:09The wisdom of the heart.
38:11If you make small efforts, you will achieve great results.
38:17It's just like this house.
38:20If you build a house and develop a place, you will certainly achieve great results.
38:26I was a little curious.
38:29This is the floor, right?
38:30Yes.
38:31Isn't this really expensive?
38:33This floor is about the size of my knee.
38:36It's about 60 centimeters, right?
38:38That's about it.
38:40It's moist.
38:41The flow of the wind under the floor is good.
38:44Anyway.
38:45Your father lived here until he was 100 years old, right?
38:48Yes.
38:49What did he do when he was climbing?
38:51He climbed up from here.
38:53This side is a little higher.
38:54I see.
38:55This side is about 15 centimeters higher.
38:58He climbed up one, two, and three steps.
39:00That's right.
39:02This is the kitchen as soon as you enter the front door, right?
39:05That's right.
39:07There is a stove.
39:08Is this propane gas?
39:10Yes, it's propane.
39:11Did you bring propane gas here?
39:13Yes, I did.
39:15It's hard for business people.
39:17It's hard for business people, too.
39:20There is a waterway in the back.
39:22Is there a stream in the back?
39:24Originally, it was a spring water from the top of the mountain.
39:29Spring water.
39:30How far is the water source from here?
39:33It's about 120 to 130 meters.
39:35120 to 130 meters.
39:36Did you pull it up here with a pipe or something?
39:38Yes, I pulled it up here with a pipe.
39:40In the old days, I used to climb up with a bucket.
39:42What?
39:43Did you have to collect water and climb up?
39:45It's a lot of work to collect bath water.
39:48What?
39:49Where is the bath?
39:51The bath is over there, but it's called Goemon bath.
39:54What?
39:55Oh, that's right.
39:56Goemon bath.
39:57Is the surrounding area mortar?
39:59Is there a kiln inside?
40:00Yes, there is.
40:01I see.
40:02Did you burn firewood?
40:05I burned firewood.
40:06Did you use the bath until your father died?
40:10Yes, I did.
40:11I see.
40:14What did you do with the firewood?
40:16I cut the trees on the mountain.
40:19Did you cut your own mountain trees?
40:21Yes, I cut my own mountain trees.
40:22I see.
40:23Did you cut the firewood yourself?
40:26Yes, I did.
40:27I cut it with my bare hands.
40:28You cut it with your bare hands?
40:30Who did that?
40:31My father and I sometimes did that.
40:34Your father and your father-in-law?
40:36Yes, my father and my father-in-law.
40:40I couldn't go into the bath.
40:42I see.
40:44So you were cutting firewood when you were 100 years old.
40:47Yes.
40:48I see.
40:51Is the inside of the bath okay?
40:53Yes, it's okay.
40:54The entrance of the shower is at the back.
40:58Is this a Butsu-ma?
41:00Yes, it is.
41:01There is a Butsu-dan.
41:03Is this a kötti-ma?
41:04Yes, it is.
41:05This is for kuwaiti-princesses.
41:09All this for kuwaiti-princesses?
41:10Yes, this is for kuwaiti-princesses.
41:11This is the sixth floor.
41:12This is the sixth floor?
41:13I have only this room.
41:15Is this the only room you have?
41:17Yes.
41:18You four were sleeping here?
41:20That's right.
41:21This is my girlfriend.
41:24You have a girlfriend?
41:26So there are four of you?
41:28That's right.
41:31There's a symbol here.
41:33This is a symbol from when I was 100 years old.
41:36I am pleased, Honda Futaparo-dono.
41:38I am pleased from the bottom of my heart that you have achieved your 100-year-old goal.
41:43Oh, so there was some kind of award ceremony or something?
41:46They brought me here.
41:48Oh, this far?
41:50Could it have been a prefectural governor?
41:53No, not a prefectural governor.
41:55Oh, a prefectural governor.
41:58He came all the way up here with this award certificate?
42:02It must have been hard to bring it.
42:05Did your father say anything at the time?
42:08He was very happy.
42:10He was happy.
42:12What kind of person was your father, Futaparo-san?
42:16He was stubborn, but he was also a serious person.
42:19He was a good person.
42:21Futaparo-san, when you were 104 years old, what was the secret to your longevity?
42:27What was it?
42:29Living in nature like this.
42:32It might have been fate.
42:36Yoshio-san's father, Futaparo-san,
42:40passed away when he was 104 years old,
42:43nine years ago.
42:46Since then, Yoshio-san has been going to his parents' house
42:51once a week from Kurashiki City, where he lives,
42:54taking two hours by car.
42:58He is 82 years old,
43:01but he continues to protect the house and the field that his father left behind.
43:08The field is over there.
43:10Oh, this is the field.
43:13Are you growing something now?
43:16This is a turnip.
43:18A turnip?
43:19Yes, a turnip.
43:21A turnip?
43:22Yes, a turnip.
43:23Oh, it's big.
43:25It's really big.
43:27It's a big turnip.
43:29It's getting bigger.
43:30Yes, it is.
43:31And next to it is...
43:32Chinese cabbage.
43:33Oh, Chinese cabbage is getting bigger.
43:35It's a failure this year.
43:37It's a failure?
43:38The leaves have opened up a little.
43:39Yes, they have.
43:40Why did they open up?
43:42I don't know if it's because of the fertilizer.
43:44Oh, maybe it's because it's cold or hot.
43:46Maybe it's because it's cold or hot.
43:49But there are a few that are well-rounded.
43:54And next to it is...
43:55Cabbage.
43:56Cabbage.
43:57All the leaves have opened up.
43:59It's a disaster.
44:01And this is where the electricity comes in.
44:04I see.
44:05The electricity is flowing through this fence.
44:08This is how you avoid monkeys and wild boars.
44:11How much electricity is flowing?
44:13About 8,000 volts.
44:158,000 volts?
44:16That's pretty strong.
44:18So, if you touch it, it'll pop?
44:19Yes, it'll pop.
44:20So, if you put this on, the monkeys won't come in?
44:23No, the monkeys will come in.
44:24The monkeys will come in?
44:25Yes.
44:26They'll jump over it?
44:27I think they'll jump over it.
44:29But they'll come in from somewhere.
44:31So, if you don't make it higher, you can't stop them?
44:35That's right.
44:37Do you sell these?
44:39No, we don't sell them.
44:41You don't sell them?
44:42We can't sell them.
44:44They're for your home?
44:45Yes.
44:46For yourself?
44:47Yes.
44:49Mr. Yoshio goes to the mountains far away from home every week for two hours.
44:57He's looking forward to growing vegetables in his father's field.
45:02Chinese cabbage is good, isn't it?
45:05He sends the vegetables to his children.
45:10That's amazing.
45:12It's hard to bring them home.
45:14That's right.
45:15Mr. Yoshio, when did you get married?
45:18I got married when I was 28 years old.
45:20You got married when you were 28 years old?
45:23Yes.
45:24Do you have a wife?
45:25No, I don't.
45:27Do you have children?
45:28I have two children.
45:29Do you have two children?
45:30Yes, I have a son and a daughter.
45:31You have two sons and two daughters.
45:33Do you have two grandchildren?
45:35No, I have two grandchildren.
45:37I have four grandchildren.
45:38You have four grandchildren?
45:39Yes.
45:40What are you going to do with this house in the future?
45:46I have no choice but to build it.
45:50Do you have children?
45:52Are you interested in this house?
45:54I don't know.
45:55I don't know if they will do it for me.
45:58I wasn't born and raised here.
46:02I don't know.
46:04Do you play with your grandchildren here?
46:07Sometimes.
46:09I used to play with my grandchildren here.
46:12I used to play with my grandchildren here.
46:15Do you have a wife?
46:17I have a wife sometimes.
46:19I harvest vegetables.
46:22You work in the field.
46:24You don't have a wife today.
46:26But you came here alone.
46:29Did she say anything to you?
46:31She told me to be careful.
46:34She told you to be careful.
46:36Yes.
46:37What is good about this house?
46:39It's natural.
46:41No one comes here.
46:43It's natural.
46:45I think it's good to have this house.
46:48Once you leave it, you can't get it back.
46:52That's right.
46:54I hope this house will last as long as possible.
46:59That's right.
47:00I'll keep it forever.
47:03He is still very energetic.
47:08Mr. Fusataro, who opened the mountain by himself, built a house,
47:12and poured all his love into Mr. Yoshio,
47:15who met his father,
47:18and raised him.
47:23Mr. Yoshio, who continues to visit the house
47:27Mr. Yoshio, who continues to visit the house
47:32Mr. Yoshio, who continues to visit the house
47:37Mr. Yoshio, who continues to visit the house
47:47It was a wonderful story.
47:49It was a great drama.
47:51It's because I took care of him.
47:54Mr. Fusataro, your father must have wanted to see you work.
47:58That's amazing.
47:59He built the house by himself.
48:01He developed it.
48:03Even if I have a lot of memories of the house my father built by himself until he was 100 years old,
48:09I'm over 80 years old.
48:11I can't do that.
48:13It's a difficult life.
48:15It was done in one word.
48:17A parent and child who are not blood-related can share that one word.
48:21I think there is a connection that goes beyond blood.
48:25It was a difficult life.
48:27I ate cup noodles there,
48:29but I remember a lot of things.
48:32It's a special place.
