00:00We will see it when we enlarge the satellite images.
00:06It is a house in the mountains far away from the city.
00:11What kind of people live in such a place and for what reason?
00:17Wow!
00:18Wow!
00:19Behind the tree?
00:20Wow!
00:21Wait a minute.
00:22This is a 180-degree curve.
00:24This way?
00:25This time, it's a steep right curve.
00:27What?
00:28And it's steep.
00:29Wow!
00:30It's still going up.
00:31Wow!
00:32Wow!
00:33Wow!
00:34It's narrow.
00:35Wow!
00:36It's uneven.
00:37It's a great building.
00:38Was this built by one person?
00:39Yes, it was built by one person.
00:40Wow!
00:41I can't believe it was built by Miyomi.
00:43It's amazing.
00:44Wow!
00:45It's amazing.
00:46It's strong.
00:47I can't believe it's 92 years old.
00:48In the past, farmers bought it for food.
00:49Oh, to eat koi?
00:50Yes.
00:51Wow!
00:52Wow!
00:53Wow!
00:54Wow!
00:55The second time now.
00:56Yes, the second time.
00:57How was it?
00:58Did the potts come out for the first time?
00:59The potts came out for the first time.
01:00How was it?
01:01It was…
01:02It was….
01:03It was amazing.
01:04It was beautiful.
01:05You've come a long way.
01:06Yes.
01:07Oh, yes.
01:08Well…
01:09I've been in Japan for 15 years.
01:10You've been in Japan for 15 years.
01:11I've been in Japan for 15 years.
01:12Oh, yeah.
01:13My wife and children came to visit.
01:14They have to go to Japan.
01:15I have reunions.
01:16Yes.
01:17I have reunions.
01:18I'm sure they're busy.
01:19I have reunions.
01:20What do you think? Do you think living in a single-family house is good?
01:24Last time, we talked about having a neon house.
01:29But I'm getting interested in it little by little.
01:31I know it's hard, but it's great to have a sense of life.
01:36It's good.
01:38Leon?
01:39Yes?
01:40What's wrong? I thought you were a kid.
01:42You don't want to live in a single-family house, do you?
01:44No, I do.
01:45You don't look like you want to live in a single-family house.
01:48No, I don't.
01:49Last year, I was on Kohaku Utagase.
01:52I'm really grateful.
01:54I was grateful.
01:55That's great.
01:56Thank you very much.
01:57And you made that song?
01:59Mr. Tokoro George.
02:00You made a great flow.
02:02Thank you very much.
02:03Let's move on.
02:04This is the Potsun Pond this time.
02:08It is in the middle of Niigata Prefecture on the Japanese coast.
02:13It's in the middle of the mountain.
02:15It's in the middle of the mountain.
02:17There's a house with a blue roof here.
02:20And there are other buildings.
02:23There are only farmers here, right?
02:25It's Niigata, so I think of rice.
02:30But you're making rice in the middle of the mountain.
02:32That's right.
02:33I'm making rice and alcohol.
02:37Making alcohol.
02:38It's Niigata.
02:39That's right.
02:40It wasn't a paddy field.
02:42The black part in the foreground is a pond.
02:45But Niigata is famous for its cows.
02:47That's right.
02:48Especially this area is famous.
02:50How many people live here?
02:52There are no more than 100 people.
02:55There are no more than 100 people.
02:57It was a beautiful slide.
02:59It was a slide.
03:00It was bad.
03:02Aiming for the Potsun Pond in Niigata Prefecture, which was found in the satellite photo,
03:07The search begins in the neighboring village.
03:11It's in the middle of the mountain.
03:12It's more than Futayama.
03:13That's right.
03:16It took about an hour to get off the highway.
03:20Did you run that much?
03:21I feel like I've come to the back of the mountain.
03:25The rice fields are spread out.
03:28That's right.
03:29It's all rice fields.
03:31It's a rice field after all.
03:34I feel like I've just finished hunting rice.
03:37That's right.
03:38The road is all rice fields.
03:40I can see a house in front of me.
03:42That's right.
03:43This is the neighboring village.
03:46There are a lot of houses.
03:50That's right.
03:51I wish there were more people.
03:53There aren't many people.
03:59There is a person on the right.
04:01Hello.
04:03You don't stop me.
04:06I'm from a TV show called Potsun and Ikkeiya.
04:10Can I ask you something?
04:13Sure.
04:15How can I get there?
04:17Go to the right.
04:19Okay, I'll ask.
04:22I'm glad there were people.
04:24That's right.
04:26It's here.
04:27It said to go to the right.
04:29I'll go in here.
04:30Then...
04:32Earlier...
04:34There he is.
04:38Excuse me.
04:43Did you enter the house?
04:45Yes, I did.
04:47I'm sorry for the sudden visit.
04:49It's okay.
04:50I'm from a TV show called Potsun and Ikkeiya.
04:53I'm walking around here.
04:56Can I take a picture?
04:58I'm watching you on TV.
05:00You know how to do it.
05:02Hurry up.
05:03I want to go to the arrow.
05:06I think it's around here.
05:11It's between Higuchi-san.
05:14Higuchi-san?
05:15Isn't it Higuchi-san's hut?
05:17It's a mountain hut.
05:19Higuchi-san's mountain hut.
05:21But there is a rice field.
05:23It's a rice field.
05:24It's a rice field where you can grow vegetables.
05:26There's a bigger one behind here.
05:31Was it a roof like this?
05:34Was it a blue roof?
05:35You can't see the roof from above.
05:37That's right.
05:38That's right.
05:40The rice field looks big.
05:42Is this a rice field?
05:43Yes.
05:44Does Higuchi-san have a rice field?
05:46Higuchi-san doesn't have a rice field.
05:48Is that a different person?
05:49Is that a rice field in someone's house?
05:51How old is Higuchi-san?
05:54He's about 90 years old.
05:5690 years old?
05:58He doesn't live here.
06:00He doesn't live here?
06:02No, he doesn't.
06:03I see.
06:04He doesn't live here, but he built this hut himself.
06:10Did Higuchi-san build this hut himself?
06:13That's right.
06:14He doesn't have a rice field.
06:16Higuchi-san also built this building.
06:20Is that so?
06:21That's right.
06:22It was built 20 years ago.
06:2520 years ago?
06:26So Higuchi-san built this hut when he was 70 years old?
06:29That's right.
06:30He came here every day.
06:33But now that he's older,
06:35he comes here once or twice a week.
06:38I think that's how it is.
06:40I see.
06:41If that's the case,
06:43this is my family's mountain.
06:48What do you mean?
06:49Higuchi-san said that he wanted to build a hut in Bunabayashi.
06:56So I asked my older brother,
07:00and he said yes.
07:04So he's lending the land?
07:06Yes, he is.
07:07He's a great person.
07:11What a coincidence!
07:13There's a house in Bunabayashi
07:16owned by Sato-san's family.
07:22Higuchi-san is 90 years old.
07:25He rented the land in Bunabayashi
07:28and built the hut himself.
07:31He still comes here once or twice a week
07:35to the hut he built 20 years ago when he was 70 years old.
07:39That's a big difference.
07:41That's right.
07:42His parents didn't do anything.
07:44He built the hut even though the rice paddies weren't his.
07:48That's strange.
07:50I wonder how people in their 90s drive.
07:53Do you want to go there?
07:54Can you show me the way?
07:56Sure.
07:57Thank you very much.
07:59Can I follow you?
08:01Sure.
08:02Thank you for your help.
08:06What a coincidence.
08:08I ran into the owner of the mountain by chance.
08:12I just met Sato-san.
08:15He told me that the owner of the house in Bunabayashi
08:18is Higuchi-san, a 90-year-old man.
08:22Yes.
08:23He also told me that he built the hut himself
08:26when he was 70 years old 20 years ago.
08:29I wonder why he built the hut in the mountains.
08:33That's true.
08:35He told me that he wanted to build the hut in Bunabayashi.
08:39I think that's why he built the hut in Bunabayashi.
08:41I see.
08:42He told me that he comes here once a week.
08:45I see.
08:46He must have driven here by himself.
08:50That's right.
08:52That's amazing.
08:56He's going to turn right.
09:01What?
09:03He's going to turn here.
09:05He's going to turn right.
09:08It's a steep slope.
09:11I need a guide.
09:13Can he turn?
09:15That's amazing.
09:17He's like a youtuber who turns and goes down.
09:20It's hard to climb.
09:23It's steep.
09:26Is this the way to the mountain?
09:28The road is narrow.
09:30It's narrow.
09:31It's hard to drive a car.
09:34There is no road.
09:35Wait a minute.
09:37It's a 180-degree curve.
09:39Is this the way?
09:42He's turning right again.
09:43That's amazing.
09:46Can he make it?
09:48He can make it.
09:52It's a cliff on the left.
09:54It's a cliff on the left.
09:56The road is getting narrower.
09:58The road is getting narrower.
10:00It's a cliff.
10:01It's narrow here.
10:03Is it a curve again?
10:05He's going to turn right again.
10:07He's going to turn right again.
10:09It's a steep slope.
10:12He's climbing very well.
10:16He built a hut 20 years ago at the end of a steep mountain road.
10:23Why did he build a hut on a mountain like this?
10:27I wonder if he still goes there even though he is 90 years old.
10:31Did he drive here when he was 90 years old?
10:35It's amazing that people who work in the fields go there.
10:38That's right.
10:39Oh, no.
10:40He's left behind.
10:42He's still climbing.
10:45He's climbing very well.
10:48He's climbing more and more.
10:50Is he still climbing?
10:52It's a steep slope.
10:53It's a steep slope.
10:56He's still climbing.
10:58He's still climbing.
11:00It's a gravel road.
11:01It's a gravel road.
11:04Is it a curve?
11:05It's a curve.
11:06It's narrow.
11:08The condition of the road is getting worse every time he turns.
11:12It's a gravel road.
11:13The road is bumpy.
11:19It's amazing.
11:21It's narrow.
11:22It's amazing.
11:26He's climbing.
11:29It's a steep slope.
11:31It's a steep slope.
11:32It's a steep slope.
11:33It's a steep slope.
11:34It's a steep slope.
11:35It's scary.
11:36It's really dangerous.
11:37It's a narrow road.
11:39It's a difficult road.
11:45I can see the house.
11:46It's a blue roof.
11:48That's right.
11:49This is what he said.
11:50Is this it?
11:51I think so.
11:52This is it.
11:53This is it.
11:54It's a nice house.
11:56There's another one here.
11:57There's a building on the right.
12:00He's getting off.
12:01Mr. Sato.
12:02Yes.
12:03He told me to come here.
12:04He told me to come here.
12:05There's a steam locomotive.
12:10It's amazing.
12:12Is it the same?
12:15The roof was blue.
12:16It was blue.
12:17It was blue.
12:18It was blue.
12:19This blue building is here.
12:24This building is the hut on the second floor.
12:29The rice field is here.
12:32The rice field is down there.
12:34That's right.
12:35There's a rice field, so there's no doubt.
12:38It's here.
12:40This is Bunabayashi.
12:46I see.
12:49Bunabayashi
12:51The hut came into view at a glance at the Niigata prefecture where the satellite photoes could be found.
13:00Seeing the rice field at the bottom of Mount Nunakake that grows on an acute slope above a mountain with continuous ridges,
13:09there's a tall istern-style hut with colorful, blue roofs.
13:13Around it, a small hut was built.
13:19Even if you compare it with satellite photos,
13:22the color of the roof of the building and the shape of the rice paddy are all the same.
13:28There is no mistake here.
13:33This and this were built by Mr. Higuchi.
13:36Oh, this and this were built by Mr. Higuchi?
13:39I heard it was a hut, but it's a great building.
13:43It was built on its own, wasn't it?
13:45Did you build this alone?
13:47Yes, I built it alone.
13:49Where is Mr. Higuchi now?
13:51He's not here now, but if he's here,
13:54I'll contact him.
13:56Do you know where to contact him?
13:58Oh, really?
13:59Wait a minute.
14:00I'm sorry.
14:01Thank you very much.
14:02You're so considerate.
14:04It's this way.
14:06Hello?
14:08Is this Mr. Higuchi's house?
14:11I just heard on TV that there is a house of Mr. Higuchi.
14:20But Mr. Higuchi is not here.
14:22Wait a minute. I'll call him.
14:24Are you Mr. Higuchi's daughter?
14:26No, I'm his wife.
14:28Hello?
14:29Oh, I'm sorry for the sudden call.
14:31I'm Takishima from the program called Potsun to Ikkenya.
14:35I'd like to ask you a few questions.
14:39When will you come here next time?
14:42I'll come here tomorrow.
14:44Will you be here tomorrow?
14:46She's laughing.
14:47Oh, really?
14:48I'll come here every day and take a nap.
14:52Oh, I see.
14:53But you're here now, aren't you?
14:54Yes, I am.
14:55Oh, I see.
14:56Is he here to take a nap?
14:58He's driving a car.
15:01Can I come here again tomorrow and talk to you?
15:07Yes, you can.
15:08Oh, really?
15:09Yes, you can.
15:10Thank you very much.
15:11I'm sorry for the sudden call. Thank you very much.
15:15I'm sorry. Thank you very much.
15:19Thanks to Mr. Sato,
15:21he was able to contact his son's wife who lives with Mr. Higuchi.
15:26The next morning,
15:28the search party headed to Potsun to Ikkenya,
15:33which is located on a high mountain in Niigata Prefecture.
15:38I can see the hut.
15:40Oh, it's true.
15:41It's here.
15:43Oh, there's someone who's cleaning the house.
15:47Oh, it's true.
15:48Is it Mr. Higuchi?
15:52Hello.
15:54Yes.
15:55Excuse me.
15:56I'm from the show called Potsun to Ikkenya.
16:01Yes.
16:02Are you Mr. Higuchi?
16:03Yes, I am.
16:04Excuse me.
16:05Nice to meet you.
16:07I'm sorry.
16:08Are you Mr. Higuchi's son's wife?
16:12Yes, I am.
16:14I'm Kenichi's son's wife.
16:17I'm Satomi Higuchi.
16:19You're Satomi.
16:21He's my father-in-law.
16:24Nice to meet you.
16:26I'm from the show called Potsun to Ikkenya.
16:28Nice to meet you.
16:31Oh, you have ears.
16:33Yes.
16:34It's quite far away.
16:36I see.
16:37You have ears.
16:38Do you always talk with the board?
16:42Yes, I do.
16:44When I talk slowly with the board,
16:48I don't know what I'm talking about,
16:50but I have to write what I want to say.
16:54Nice to meet you.
16:56I don't know what you're talking about.
16:59Can I ask your name and age?
17:03I'm Takashi Higuchi.
17:06Mr. Takashi Higuchi.
17:07Yes.
17:08I'm 92 years old.
17:1092 years old.
17:11Wow, you're 92 years old.
17:13Yes, yes.
17:14I'm a bean.
17:16A bean?
17:17In this area, being energetic is called a bean.
17:20I see.
17:21Yes.
17:23He has a long spine and a strong posture.
17:28He doesn't look like a 92-year-old,
17:31but he is a very bean.
17:34He is the owner of Potsun to Ikkenya,
17:36Mr. Takashi Higuchi.
17:3892 years old.
17:41He looks very energetic at 92 years old.
17:44He is very energetic when he comes to the mountains.
17:47We don't have a broom at home.
17:49We don't have a broom at home.
17:51But we have a broom when he comes to the mountains.
17:53I see.
17:54Because it's his castle.
17:55He can't stop coming to the mountains.
17:58What is your wife's name?
18:00I have an old lady.
18:01She is energetic.
18:02She is also 92 years old.
18:03What's her name?
18:04Her name is Kinui.
18:05Kinui?
18:06Yes.
18:07How do you two usually get along?
18:09We get along like people of this age.
18:12But she is very kind now.
18:15She can't move much because of her grandmother's care.
18:18But I help her change her clothes and comb her hair.
18:21I do a lot of things for her.
18:22I see.
18:23She is very kind.
18:24I see.
18:25This is my old dog, Chataro.
18:27He is about the same age as me.
18:29He is 16 years old now.
18:31He is also over 90 years old.
18:33I see.
18:34Chataro and Takashi are about the same age.
18:37They get along very well.
18:39We often talk to each other,
18:41like a dog and a dog.
18:45I see.
18:47He has a long ear,
18:49so he doesn't understand what people say.
18:54But he listens to the dog.
18:57He doesn't talk to the dog.
18:58I see.
18:59That's why we get along well.
19:00I see.
19:01We usually go to Kumayoke.
19:03I see.
19:04Kumayoke?
19:05Yes.
19:06You go to Kumayoke together.
19:08Yes.
19:09Kumayoke is very quiet.
19:10Kumayoke doesn't bark at people.
19:11Kumayoke barks only when a bear is far away.
19:14I see.
19:15Kumayoke barks only when a bear is far away.
19:19I see.
19:20I see.
19:21Recently, when I get older,
19:23I don't want to ride a car with a dog.
19:25I see.
19:26I finally ride a car with a dog.
19:28I see.
19:29Takashi, how did you come here?
19:32I came here by scooter.
19:34I see.
19:35You came here by scooter.
19:36He seemed to be confident in driving.
19:38When he celebrated his 88th birthday,
19:41I told him that I wanted him to quit his driver's license.
19:45He was very disappointed.
19:47He couldn't go to the mountains.
19:49That was the biggest reason.
19:51I see.
19:52I quit my job at that time.
19:56He said,
19:57he would send me to the mountains every day.
20:00So, I pick him up by scooter.
20:03I see.
20:04She is a good wife.
20:05She is wonderful.
20:06Anyway,
20:07he said,
20:08he would send me to the mountains every day.
20:11I'm busy these days.
20:13I see.
20:14Yes.
20:15What did you do in the first place?
20:18I was a teacher in an elementary school.
20:20I see.
20:21Yes.
20:22I also quit my job at that time.
20:24After that,
20:25I was a volunteer of reading and listening to old stories.
20:28I see.
20:29Yes.
20:30What did your husband do?
20:32My husband was also a school teacher.
20:36After I quit my job,
20:38I work for the city education committee.
20:40I see.
20:41I see.
20:42I have beautiful flowers in spring.
20:44I see.
20:46What kind of flowers are these?
20:49What kind of flowers?
20:51I don't know.
20:55She doesn't know the name of these beautiful flowers.
20:58I brought them from the mountains and planted them.
21:00From the mountains?
21:01I often plant hydrangeas and chestnuts.
21:04Is this chestnut?
21:06No, it's chestnut.
21:07I see.
21:08My husband likes chestnuts.
21:10I see.
21:11He likes chestnut trees.
21:13I wanted to build a hut in the chestnut forest.
21:15So, I searched for a chestnut forest and came here.
21:19I see.
21:20Yes.
21:21My husband was a bus driver when he was young.
21:24He was a bus driver?
21:26Yes.
21:27In the second half of my life,
21:29I was a tour guide.
21:31A tour guide?
21:32Yes.
21:33After I ate chestnuts,
21:35I wanted to build a hut in the chestnut forest.
21:37So, I went to many places in Fukushima Prefecture.
21:40I see.
21:41Why did you build a house in this place?
21:47My husband built a house in the mountains.
21:51I felt good.
21:53So, I built a house.
21:56You wanted to build a house.
21:58I thought I liked it.
22:01He built a house.
22:03So, I wanted to build a house, too.
22:04I wanted to relax.
22:06That's why I came here.
22:08Why did you like the chestnut forest?
22:11Why did you like it?
22:14It's beautiful in spring.
22:16When the leaves come out,
22:19it's beautiful.
22:22In summer, it's very cool in the shade.
22:26There is no forest built by people.
22:29It's a chestnut forest.
22:30I wanted to look at the chestnut forest.
22:33So, I was looking for a chestnut forest.
22:36I see.
22:37The rice fields on the other side are all made by Mr Kobayashi.
22:41Is Mr Kobayashi the brother of Mr Sato who guided you here?
22:46That's right.
22:47This land belongs to Mr Kobayashi, right?
22:50That's right.
22:51I saw him earlier.
22:53Mr Kobayashi.
22:56Mr Kobayashi.
22:59Let's talk over there.
23:01Excuse me, Mr Kobayashi.
23:03You are the owner of this land, right?
23:05Nice to meet you.
23:07Does Mr Kobayashi come here often?
23:10Yes, he does.
23:12He also has a rice field.
23:14Does Mr Kobayashi take care of this rice field?
23:18That's right.
23:19Is the land where the hut is built yours?
23:21That's mine.
23:22Mr Kobayashi lent it to Mr Takahashi.
23:25It's okay to build a rice field and play.
23:30It's free.
23:31I see.
23:32I've never borrowed money from anyone.
23:35Why did you lend it to Mr Takahashi?
23:37I didn't have any intention of borrowing money from him.
23:41He said it was a good place, so I lent it to him.
23:44Mr Kobayashi's rice field wasn't built by Mr Takahashi, right?
23:48That's different.
23:50I built it.
23:52The craftsman built it.
23:54There is a shovel car over there.
23:56That's Mr Kobayashi's house.
23:58That's also Mr Kobayashi's house.
24:00It's hard to build a house without a shovel car.
24:05So I borrowed it.
24:08You borrowed this shovel car when you built the hut.
24:12It was helpful.
24:13That's right.
24:14How many years ago did you start building this hut?
24:1922 years ago.
24:21In 2002.
24:22Which one was the first one you built?
24:24This is a rice field.
24:25This is a rice field.
24:27What is this?
24:29This is a storage room.
24:32We call it the second storey.
24:34The second storey?
24:35Yes.
24:36Did you really build these two by yourself?
24:40Yes.
24:41I see.
24:42Mr Takahashi, have you ever been a carpenter?
24:46No, I haven't.
24:48I'm a bus driver.
24:51You're not a carpenter.
24:52Why did you build such a house?
24:55I didn't learn how to build it.
24:58I just saw how to build it.
25:01What?
25:02You just saw how to build it?
25:03Yes.
25:04I saw how to build it on TV.
25:08I see.
25:09I learned how to build it.
25:13I see.
25:15If you don't know how to build it, you can ask a carpenter.
25:18But there are a lot of things you don't know.
25:20Yes.
25:21If I had known, I wouldn't have built this house.
25:26I see.
25:28I'm a carpenter.
25:30Was it difficult to build the roof by yourself?
25:34It's a high place, so I didn't have a chance to see it.
25:38You couldn't see it.
25:40I see.
25:41That's interesting.
25:43I can do it by myself now.
25:47Why can you do it now?
25:49I saw how to build it.
25:52I see.
25:53You saw how to build it when you built your house.
25:56That's amazing.
25:57Once you see it, you can do it.
26:01I built this bridge, too.
26:03I didn't have one at first.
26:04You built a bridge?
26:05Yes, I built a bridge.
26:06I built it from there.
26:09It was inconvenient for me to come here.
26:13So I built a bridge.
26:16I collected a lot of materials.
26:19I didn't buy a lot of materials.
26:21I see.
26:23I got them all.
26:25Did you get them from somewhere?
26:27I was building a new house.
26:32When I built a new house, I had a lot of waste materials.
26:36So I got them all.
26:40When I demolished my old house, I built a window frame.
26:47You can see it.
26:49It's a power pole.
26:50It's a power pole?
26:51Yes, it's a power pole.
26:52You made it in no time.
26:54Did you get the power pole, too?
26:57Yes.
26:58At that time, it was all wood.
27:01I replaced it with concrete pillars.
27:06I got the power pole from Mt. Umuyama in Iepi.
27:10I see.
27:12This area was damaged by the earthquake.
27:16So I put a board on it.
27:19Originally, it was in perfect condition.
27:21But there was a great earthquake two years later.
27:25In 2004.
27:26This area was also badly damaged.
27:28So it cracked and collapsed.
27:31The house was tilted.
27:33The foundation of the house fell off.
27:37I was worried about the house.
27:39So I had to go after the quake.
27:41But all the roads were blocked.
27:44I was able to come here after the quake.
27:47I came here after a month.
27:49I see.
27:50So you were worried.
27:51Yes, I was worried.
27:53I was worried about the house.
27:55So I came here every day.
27:57I see.
27:59A few days later.
28:02Takashi Higuchi was 92 years old.
28:05He built this mountain hut 22 years ago.
28:09He went to the construction site of the house.
28:12He learned how to do the construction work.
28:15He made everything except the roof by himself.
28:20Can I see the inside?
28:23Yes, please.
28:25Can I?
28:26Is this the entrance?
28:28No, it's over there.
28:30I see.
28:31This was built later.
28:34But the stairs are narrow.
28:36It's easier for me to go this way.
28:38So I always go in from here.
28:40I see.
28:41Can I see the inside?
28:43Yes.
28:44Is this also handmade?
28:46Yes.
28:47The structure of the bridge was made by my grandfather.
28:50That's amazing.
28:51Is that a terrace?
28:53Is this a terrace?
28:54Yes, this is a terrace.
28:56It's connected to the other side.
28:58Please come in.
28:59Thank you for having me.
29:02This is amazing.
29:04I can't believe this house was built by myself.
29:07This is amazing.
29:09The ceiling is high.
29:11I made the second floor.
29:14These stairs are from an old house.
29:17I see.
29:18This is amazing. Is this handmade?
29:21The pillars are made of ash.
29:23The pillars are made of ash.
29:24All of them are handmade.
29:25There are a lot of things in the house.
29:29You don't just have one.
29:31You have a lot of things.
29:33All of them are made of ash.
29:34They are just made of ash.
29:38I see.
29:40All of these are made of ash.
29:43I got the materials when I destroyed my house.
29:47I bought a stove.
29:49I made everything around here.
29:51Did you make everything with bricks?
29:53I made a fire.
29:56I see.
29:57This is amazing.
29:58I got a cooking table from a public house.
30:02Did you get it?
30:03I made all of these pipes.
30:05Did you?
30:06I made the water pipes myself.
30:09Where is the water source?
30:11The water source is in the side hole.
30:14The side hole?
30:15The side hole is less than 100 meters.
30:18Did you dig it?
30:20No, a farmer dug it.
30:23Did you use the water from the rice field?
30:26Yes, a farmer dug it.
30:29The water comes out from there.
30:31I got a water tank.
30:34The water is stored in the water tank.
30:36I see.
30:38The water comes out from the pump.
30:41I see.
30:43The water comes out from the yellow part of the water tank.
30:47In the small hut.
30:49Yes, in the small hut.
30:50There is a 500 liter water tank in the hut.
30:55The water comes out from the water tank.
30:58Did you make the water come out from the water source?
31:02Yes, I did.
31:03That's amazing.
31:05What about the electricity here?
31:08The electricity is from the generator.
31:10If I turn on the generator, the electricity comes out.
31:15I have a power outlet and a switch.
31:18But, I hardly use it.
31:20You haven't used it.
31:22You don't use it at night?
31:24No, I don't.
31:25I turn on the candle at night.
31:27If I come late, I turn it off.
31:30Do you go home once a day?
31:32Yes, I do.
31:33I can't stay at home all day.
31:35So, I make lunch and leave it at home.
31:38Then, I come back to pick him up in the evening.
31:40I see.
31:42In summer, the day is long.
31:44But, the day is short now.
31:46If I make a mistake, I leave him in the mountains.
31:50So, I come to pick him up.
31:53What is the most fun thing here?
31:57I like to look at the chestnut forest and take a walk.
32:03You like to look at the chestnut forest.
32:06Do you stay here?
32:09Yes, I do.
32:12I don't want to live in the mountains.
32:15No?
32:16I want to relax here during the day.
32:18But, I want to go home and take a rest at night.
32:25Luxurious.
32:26I can't stay here because my wife is waiting for me.
32:29I see.
32:30I see.
32:33I see.
32:35Is this the main entrance?
32:38Yes, this is the main entrance.
32:41Is this the main entrance?
32:43Yes, you can go up from here.
32:46Originally, there was no roof.
32:48There wasn't?
32:50I thought it would be better to have a roof because it's the main entrance.
32:55Did you make all of this?
32:57Yes, I did.
33:01This is the bathroom.
33:03There's a bathroom here?
33:05Is this okay?
33:07Yes, it's okay.
33:08I can't take off my shoes.
33:10Thank you for coming.
33:11Which one is the bathroom?
33:13This is the bathroom.
33:14This is the bathroom.
33:19I've been here recently.
33:22I made it out of wood at first, but it didn't work.
33:27It's hard to make a wooden bath without water.
33:32I can't afford to buy a wooden bath.
33:35I can't afford to buy a wooden bath.
33:38I see.
33:40I've been using this since I started running.
33:43I wish I could buy this.
33:45I wish I could buy this.
33:47You can make a wooden bath if you have a bath.
33:50That's right.
33:52How did you boil the water?
33:55I put water in the pot.
33:59There's water in the black pot?
34:01Yes, there's water in the black pot.
34:04I put water in the black pot and boiled it.
34:08The water in the pot becomes hot water?
34:11Yes, I put the water in the pot and boiled it.
34:16I see.
34:18Where does the water come from?
34:20Where does the water come from?
34:22It comes from the yellow pot.
34:27I can make a wooden bath with this.
34:34You don't use it recently?
34:37You don't use it?
34:38Why don't you use it?
34:40I have a lot of water in the pot.
34:43The water leaks?
34:45I can't use it even if the water leaks a little.
34:53I have a lot of wood.
34:56I wanted to make a wooden bath.
35:00But I didn't have firewood.
35:02I see.
35:04So I used this.
35:06I see.
35:07It's beautifully wrapped.
35:11That's a lot of wood.
35:13Who cut this?
35:16I did.
35:18Did you cut it?
35:20Yes.
35:21That's amazing.
35:22Do you use it as a stove?
35:24Yes.
35:26This is a wood cutting machine.
35:30This machine?
35:31I cut it with this.
35:33It's a wood cutting machine.
35:37Where did you get this wood?
35:40I got it from the mountain.
35:42You cut it from the mountain?
35:44Who cut it?
35:46Mr. Kobayashi cut it.
35:48Mr. Kobayashi cut it and Mr. Takahashi cut it.
35:51I cut it and throw it away.
35:56Don't you throw it away now?
35:58Some people throw it away.
36:00Do you use it all day?
36:02I don't just use it all day.
36:04I use it all year round.
36:06Even on a hot day, I always use it when I come to the mountain.
36:11When there is smoke, bears don't come.
36:15So I always use it even on a hot day.
36:20I see.
36:22It doesn't come because of the presence of people.
36:25How many years after was the second store built?
36:30Four or five years later.
36:32Four or five years later.
36:34This staircase is also handmade.
36:37There is a gap at the foot.
36:41Even though he is 92 years old, he has a firm footing.
36:47It's very wide.
36:49That's Irori, isn't it?
36:53Did you make that Irori yourself?
36:55No, I made it.
36:57Did you make it yourself?
36:58I made a tree that I picked up from the river.
37:01You picked it up from the river?
37:03I made it so that it can be adjusted to the right height at the right time.
37:08That's amazing.
37:11The ceiling of the Irori is also high.
37:14Why did you pull out the top?
37:17I don't want to make smoke.
37:20You don't want to make smoke?
37:22I don't want to make smoke.
37:25I don't use it that much, but I'll put up with it.
37:31You can make it.
37:33What was the last thing you made?
37:36What was the last thing I made?
37:39Pizza crust.
37:42Where is the pizza crust?
37:44Is this it?
37:46That's amazing.
37:48Is it in the hut?
37:50There is snow, so anything can be crushed by snow.
37:53It's surrounded by snow.
37:57Why did you make a pizza crust?
38:02Pizza was delicious.
38:07When I saw the pizza crust, I thought,
38:10I see, this is how you make a pizza crust.
38:15When I saw it, it came to my mind.
38:18I remember seeing it again.
38:20I only use it a few times.
38:22That's a waste.
38:24I went to see the pizza crust for business, and I made it by imitating it.
38:28It's too big, no matter how much I bake it, it doesn't warm up inside.
38:33That's right.
38:37It looks delicious.
38:42It's delicious.
38:44I've never eaten such a pizza crust before.
38:46If you want to see it again, go to TVer.
38:51If you subscribe to your favorite channel, it will be even more convenient.
38:56Is it snowy around here?
38:59It's snowing a lot.
39:01I can't come here in winter.
39:03Is that so?
39:04All the roads are closed.
39:07It's still snowing.
39:08Can't you come here?
39:09In winter, I wear snow boots and walk up the hill.
39:15Do you walk up the hill?
39:17Mr Takahashi?
39:18Yes.
39:19Even now?
39:20I can't do it this year.
39:22Last year, I walked up the hill two or three times.
39:25It was in 1991.
39:26This is the road.
39:28Here?
39:29I walk down this road.
39:32Down this road?
39:34I walk down this tunnel.
39:36You walk on a stick?
39:38I walk for 5 hours.
39:40I walk for 15 minutes.
39:4315 minutes?
39:45Don't you come with Mr Satomi?
39:47I can't come with him.
39:49I'm worried about myself.
39:55I can't help him.
39:57I'm worried about him.
39:59When I really want to go,
40:01I ask my husband to go with me.
40:05What are you doing?
40:07I'm sitting down.
40:09You're sitting down?
40:10Yes.
40:11That roof doesn't build snow.
40:14But it will build snow.
40:16Because the angle is steep?
40:18If it's steep, the hill will fall.
40:23When the weather is good, I come here.
40:27That's why I come here in winter.
40:29You come to see if the house is destroyed.
40:32I see.
40:33There is a hut under the house.
40:36Is that Mr Kobayashi's hut?
40:38Yes.
40:39Mr Kobayashi asked me to build it.
40:41Did Mr Takashi build it?
40:43Yes, he did.
40:45What is that hut for?
40:47Mr Kobayashi puts a carp in it in winter.
40:52Does he put a carp in the hut?
40:54Yes.
40:55There is a carp.
40:58Congratulations.
41:00There is a pond in every house around here.
41:04There is a pond?
41:05Yes.
41:06When people come to the pond,
41:08other animals eat the carp.
41:13Is that so?
41:15It's true.
41:17There is a pond.
41:19There is a lot of water in the pond.
41:21There are no fish in the pond now.
41:25No fish?
41:26Why do people buy carp?
41:28Why?
41:29In the old days, farmers bought carp for food.
41:34Is that so?
41:35Have you ever eaten carp?
41:36No.
41:37Is it true?
41:38No.
41:39I see.
41:41Do people eat carp?
41:42Yes.
41:43In the old days, people didn't buy carp.
41:50But now, people buy fish.
41:54Fish?
41:55Yes.
41:56In the old days, carp was black.
41:59I don't know why,
42:02but the color of carp changed suddenly.
42:06When I was a kid, I made a pond in my house.
42:10I enjoyed swimming in the pond.
42:17In Sankanbu, Niigata Prefecture,
42:20carp farming has been done for a long time.
42:26Carp is a precious food in winter.
42:29Is that so?
42:30In the black carp,
42:34the color and pattern of the carp changed suddenly.
42:38It is said that this is the beginning of Nishikigoi.
42:42In winter, wild animals eat the carp in the pond.
42:47When the water freezes, the core of the water becomes shallow,
42:50and the carp dies.
42:52Before winter comes,
42:54it is customary to take the carp out of the pond and put it in the pond.
43:03Mr. Kobayashi, the owner of this mountain,
43:06who rents the land for free,
43:10says that he usually takes the carp he buys in the pond
43:14to the pond in the hut he built 10 years ago
43:18and spends the winter there.
43:25In winter, it snows heavily,
43:28and you can't come by car, right?
43:30How do you feed the carp?
43:33We don't feed them in winter.
43:35You don't feed them in winter?
43:37You don't have to feed them in winter.
43:39We feed the carp with the fat we have stored so far.
43:44Is that so?
43:45Yes.
43:46It's been fixed, so it doesn't move.
43:48Is it like hibernation?
43:50It's half-dead.
43:53Half-dead?
43:54Yes, it's half-dead,
43:56but we feed it with the minimum amount of energy
43:59until the water temperature rises.
44:04When Mr. Kobayashi finishes preparing the carp,
44:09Mr. Takahashi starts working on the winter hut.
44:14What are you doing?
44:16What do you do with the winter hut?
44:18I put a drop board on it.
44:20A drop board?
44:22I see.
44:23There's a hook on the side of the window.
44:26This is a hanagu to hang the drop board.
44:30That's amazing.
44:39Mr. Takahashi, do you need any help?
44:41I don't need any help.
44:43You don't?
44:44You like to do it yourself.
44:47Is that so?
44:48I do it by myself.
44:50Wow.
44:53Are you okay?
44:54That's amazing.
44:55That's amazing.
44:56It's dangerous, but are you okay?
44:58Leaving aside the worries of the creative team,
45:01Mr. Takahashi climbs on the flooring
45:03and puts one foot on the window frame
45:06and hangs the drop board on the hanagu outside the window.
45:12It's a very easy job for a 92-year-old.
45:18Wow.
45:19You're very strong.
45:22You don't look like a 92-year-old.
45:26I'm done.
45:28You're done?
45:29Yes.
45:31Wow.
45:36It's done.
45:39You do this job every year, right?
45:42I do it by myself.
45:43By yourself.
45:44It must be hard.
45:46It's hard.
45:47But it's fun.
45:50Is that so?
45:52Mr. Takahashi, you're 92 years old.
45:54Are you going to keep doing this job?
45:58Yes, I'm 92 years old.
46:01Are you going to keep doing this job?
46:05It's up to you.
46:07It's up to me.
46:09I'm looking forward to seeing you here.
46:13I'd like to visit you when I want to visit you.
46:18I sometimes ask you to give me a break.
46:21But I'd like to stay here for a long time and have fun.
46:27Thank you very much.
46:29I'm so happy.
46:32Right?
46:34You're good.
46:36I'm happy.
46:39I'm glad to hear that.
46:42Mr. Takahashi went to the mountains in search of his favorite mountains.
46:48It's been 22 years since he built a mountain hut alone.
46:53He's looking forward to coming here now.
46:58It's the source of his energy to visit this mountain hut.
47:05It's hard to come here in winter when the mountains are covered with hot snow.
47:12However, Mr. Takahashi is smiling and smiling
47:16because he is looking forward to the day when he can come here with Ms. Satomi again.
47:27I didn't know there was a mountain hut like this.
47:30That's right.
47:32You were sleeping soundly.
47:34It was comfortable.
47:36How was it?
47:38It was more luxurious than a hut with a magnificent building.
47:44I didn't think there would be a great view because I climbed so much.
47:49I didn't think there would be something to be surprised about.
47:52It was just a mountain hut made by Mr. Takahashi and Ms. Satomi.
47:56We can't get the happiness of seeing the beauty of Mr. Takahashi.
48:01It's the ultimate.
48:03It's like a secret base.
48:06It's like a secret base.
48:08It's the highest level of a secret base.
48:10It's amazing that you can build a mountain hut by yourself.
48:13You made a small mountain hut by yourself, didn't you?
48:16Yes, I did it for business.
48:18I'm sure you did it.
